Green and Growing in Springtime!

Oh LOOK! I made a terrarium too! Goodie for me! And best of all it was so easy and cheap to make! My little nine year old niece, Skipper, showed me how to do it! I'm going to start making them and selling them. I see that they're fetching upwards of $40-$50!!!! Wow! And all it cost was a DOLLAR to make! I'm going to be RICH in no time!!!

Mr. Etc was kind enough to film me making one and I wrote out the instructions. Now you can make one too! Let's all get rich together!!!

Just sayin'...


We should be eternally vigilant
against attempts to check the expression
of opinions that we loathe.

Babes in toyland

Another treasury! How thrilling! I'm especially thrilled with this bright, colorful and childlike theme!!

I think it's so wonderful that they are finding fun and creative uses for their recently outgrown toys! Why, I can remember, as a young girl, loving my legos, wooden blocks, shrinky dinks! Who would have thought that with a little glue and and some glitter, they would get such a crafty second life as such artistically inspiring pieces? Mona Lisa, move over!

As usual, I've only picked the cream of the crop for my treasury. All of these funderful items were pulled straight out of Storque articles, gift guides, and editor's picks.


Be sure to drop by and say hello to "Ugly Things for Sale" Don't be fooled, she really has the most beautiful finds. She's just being modest! Click the photo below to view the site:

More Gift Guide Delights!

Spring is on the way! How EXCITING!!!! Mother Nature is just bursting with flowery goodness! I was so inspired by nature and the latest gift guides that I made myself this lovely toilet paper dress! It has a hip, polka dotty sash around the waste...ooopsie! Pardon my Freudian slip...I meant waist!

Since toilet paper is made from trees, I am happy as a kitty with cream that I'm reusing my toilet paper in a way that is both fashionable and eco-friendly! I just love nature, don't you? I think I'll go hug a tree!

And here are some more unique and special handmade delights for you to enjoy! I found them featured in the gift guides!
