New PIF

There's a new PIF post titled Water Wheel in Motion. It's a photograph of the watier wheel outside The Milltop, a small restaurant and bar on St. George Street that overlooks the Matanzas Bay. The entire restaurant/bar is upstairs and has a huge patio that gives a great view of the fort across the street. There are huge live oak trees enclosing the entire patio, giving the feel of being in a tree house.

I also still have three more of the PIF photographs Honey Anyone still available.

Have a great day!!!

PayPal Plunge

Well, I have protested the exclusive use of PayPal by buyers as long as I can. I have taken the plunge and now offer to accept PayPal on Etsy.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against PP itself. I simply don't like having to pay what amounts to "double fees" to sell any of my artwork. I already pay Etsy and now I pay PP. I tried using AlertPay, but it seems no one wants to use that service. Oh well...I'll go with the masses...for a while.

Creepy Valentine's

Angry and Stupid Valentine?

The eyes are creepy!

Onion Head Valentine?

Stalker Valentine?

OK, so I do know that Valentine's Day is still just over a month away, but I've decided to make a few handmade greeting cards and some domino art to offer on Etsy. So I started going through my collection of vintage Valentine's cards and I noticed something strange. Some of these cards are actually creepy. Almost frightening! I've found SO many that are just down-right wierd and evil looking~lol I thought I'd share a few and get your thoughts.

Today wasn't TOTALLY wasted




So Sara's has finally produced her puppies and I've only caught 2 naps (only about 3 hours total) in the past 2 days, but hey, I've been tired before. I decided to post some of my photography onto Etsy today. Not only do I still have lots of PIF's left, but I have "unearthed" several of my photographs from bygone years.

I know it's a little sappy, but New Years makes me want to go through all my "old things". Photos that I have put away and forgotten about. It's almost like Christmas all over again. I follow my poor husband around waving phtotos under his nose saying "remember when..."

Well, today I did it again. Bob tried going outside, but I just followed him. Both the children were forced to look at old baby pictures and Em's boyfriend finally saw her as a little girl (even though she threatened me over a few of the pics).

Anyway, I found photos from several of our trips and am currently sorting them to put up on Etsy AND I posted several new photographs recent photographs so I do feel like I have accomplished something today:-)

BTW, aren't the new babies cute??

Happy New Year and The Blessed Event




So, last night I didn't exactly bring in the New Year in a traditional sense. Sara decided that she would start producing puppies at 11:00. I am pleased to announce a total of 5 new German Shepherd puppies, 3 males and 2 females. One female was born "last year" and the rest are New Year babies. All are doing extremely well and they each have a healthy set of lungs~lol Who knew puppies could be so noisey??
