Weird Co-Inky-Dinks!

Has this ever happened to you?

If you didn't know, I am an art teacher in an elementary school. I am always reaching for paper and handing it out to groups of children. I needed 20 sheets of white paper so I just grabbed a stack and began to hand it out. Well, what do you know, it was the exact amount! Freaky, a little, but there's more.

I was planning a paper plate mask lesson for one of my first grade classes. I needed 24 paper plates, so I just grabbed a bunch from the package. Paper plates usually stick together - but what do you know again - when I was done counting and separating, I had exactly 24 in my hand????

And this was all in the same day. So, either I am excellent at picking the exact number of things I need, or freaky things just like to happen to me!

What about you?

So much for not buying any dolls...

I just bid on one doll and bought another. I have no excuse and I am so ashamed of myself... tee hee. But at least I'll go to bed happy.

PS I'm starting an imaginary group called "Doll Collectors Anonymous" for those of us who have problems just like myself. If you would like to join my group, you have to give me all your dolls. Anyone? Anyone???

Oh, and I painted the above picture when I was around 16 years old.

I just found the cutest online shop...

I just bought this cute little purse, some stickers and an oil cloth lunch bag. They have a small selection of goodies, but everything is awesome. Just thought I'd share this with you.

Here's the link, well, because I have absolutely no idea how to make images clickable in blogspot.

Oh - and to let you know I haven't bought or bid on any dolls today. She, as in this pink purse, does not count as a doll, thank you!

I am 29 years old and I have way too much stuff! Soon to be 30, actually. What's going to happen if I keep collecting like this for the next 20, 30 or 40 years?? I need to stop.

Seriously, I know I may joke about it, but I think it's time for me to take a break.

I just saw a dolly that I would like to bid on, on ebay, but I didn't let myself do it. I don't need it - (trying to convince myself) Of course I don't need them, I don't need any of them - just want them!

BUT I just love their faces and they make me so happy.

What shall I ever do??? I'm going to try hard. Maybe I'll give up buying dolls for lent - that's going to be so hard. Hmm - let me think about it.

Any suggestions?

Hugs,
Renee

My latest plushie creation. Say hello to Ms. Pretty Girl Plushie Pin.

She's just like the dolls I have been making, only she's just the head with a little bow.

There's a little silver pin on the back so you can wear her proudly.

I just listed her a little while ago in my ShoeFlower Etsy store.

Please stop by and say hello.

They all can be used as pincushions and a few of them even have ribbons for hanging as ornaments! And they're just great to look at too!

Yay!

ShoeFlower Back In Action!

Starting to add some new goodies to my ShoeFlower Etsy shop again. I kind of slowed down my listings during the holidays. It was very hard to keep up with both of my shops. Thanks to everyone who supported my Reyney Etsy shop last year. 2007 was a very busy one- but lot's of fun!

This is a picture of my Super Fun Magazine Pack. I just love looking at the combinations of colors. I think this photograph of all the scraps makes a nice piece of art too - LOL!

Also available is the Purple Party Good Pack. I sold lot's of goodie packs last spring in my Reyney Shop. If you're looking for them, I'm moving them to ShoeFlower.

I'm thinking of keeping my Reyney shop to strictly jewelry and ShoeFlower will be for lot's of fun stuff!

Still thinking about adding some plush dollies soon! Keep checking back!

HUGS!
