Have you ever done something REALLY stupid?

And, by REALLY stupid, I mean flat ass, really freakin' stupid? I won't elaborate at this time, but suffice it to say that I stuck my foot in my mouth and then proceeded to swallow it up to the hip did something that I might come to regret tonight. Sometimes I can be such a dumbass. Seriously.


Anyway, so, a blog that doesn't contain any artsy shit. That's a first in a while, eh? I just thought I might aprise everyone out there that reads this that ISN'T interested in all that paintin' and collagin' mess of the situation as it stands. Life is slowly, but surely, running circles around my ass. That's all. LOL No, not really. For the most part things are going fairly normal around here ~ kid stuff, house stuff, mom stuff, with a little bit of other stuff thrown in to keep things interesting.  How new and different than any other day/week/month that I have ever had before. ((insert blatent sarcasm and then re-read that last sentence.))
 
The youngest girl child has a dentist appointment in the morning.  I'm a little leary to take her after the last one that didn't turn out so well.  But what else can ya do?  She has to go.  It's not like I can fix the problem myself.
The oldest girl child thinks that she might have broken her toe.  I don't think that it's broken, but I think that she managed to bruise it really well.  She's worried about it affecting her performance in something called a 'Pacer' in gym class next week.  I told her not to worry so much, she'll get wrinkles (she about fell over  LOL)
 
The Man Child is supposed to be home this weekend, so we are having Christmas while he is home.  It might seem odd to some, but that's the life we live ~ so, Tis the Season, and all that shit.
 
That's about it.  So freakin' exciting, I know.  I did think about questioning the concept of 'Pimp Juice', and what exactly it was that Nelly meant when he refered to someone only wanting him for his pimp juice, but I'm thinking that that would be an issue for a whole 'nother post entirely.

Oh yeah, one last thing, I made these sweet ass charms for a swap on a4a.  LOVE them!  I managed to make one for myself (unlike the fairy bottles that I ended up ass-out on.)

So much for a post without artsy shit in it, eh?  ROFLMBO

Soooooo...Wanna see my Charm Bracelet? ;)

Way back in August I blogged about making these fairy bottle charms for a Charm swap on ATCsforAll.com I LOVED making them and was so happy to send them in for the swap. But I was equally just as excited to see what I would receive in return :D And, let me tell you, the span of time between August and November was a L-O-N-G wait LOL
Anyway, I opened the mailbox Saturday night when we got home from my parents' house to find a nicely padded bubble envelope had arrived just for me (all the way from the UK.) It's a good thing that I was sitting down when I opened it, 'cuz if I hadn't been I might have woken up the girls when I fell over in amazement at the wonderful variety of artwork I received. I was so pleased, and I couldn't wait to get them onto a bracelet (although the arrangement and the findings used to attach them will likely be changed as time goes by. :D)



In the order they appear on the bracelet:
A Fairy Bottle charm by LisaB
A Three beaded blue/green charm (2 crystal, 1 handmade clay) by susietex
An Altered Scrabble Tile charm featuring a Fairy's face by The Mad Catter
A Three part charm featuring large spangle sequins, a glass bead, and a metal 'Inspire' charm by messmaker
A square charm featuring a mini Tarot card (The Hierophant) by spaine
A 'Death's Head' wrapped Leek button by Gina-B
A Altered BottleCap charm (featuring an awesome medical textbook face image) by DaDreemer
A Heart shaped charm by icequeen07
A square charm featuring a cool cat face by corduroy cat
And last, but not least
A dangling charm featuring a clay Flower bead by SunSwirlGirl

There are 10 in all, and they make a fantastically interesting bracelet. :D
I can't wait for the next charm swap, so that I can expand my collection and gather more great art charms from artists around the world!
