I know it's been awhile...I have good reason though :) It feels like I have lost my bloggin' mojo. Probably a result of not crafting consistently for the last little bit. I have been working on a couple things, but no pics of them yet.<br /><br />The biggest reason why I haven't been too active here? Jeff had surgery on his mouth the beginning of May to attach chains and brackets to two teeth that are impacted in his upper palate. The hope is that they will be able to pull them down and they will be healthy teeth. The srugery was quite brutal for him and caused a significant amount of pain. Thankfully he is past the major pain portion and now deals with the pain when they adjust the chains to pull the teeth down. Ouch!<br /><br />A couple days after Jeff's surgery, we found out that he was laid off. It was very unexpected. You never do expect this type of thing to happen. We are believing for good things to come out of this and for God's best. He is our Provider!<br /><br />We'll hop back over to more crafty talk :)<br /><br />I got it in my head that I wanted to make Bella her own hair ribbons and bows. I started to look online for instructions and found some. I have made her a couple so far and plan to make more. I'm having fun with them and want to make her a whole bunch! You know, to match all her outfits :) Plus I'm going to need a lot because she has done a great job and disassembling a couple I have made so far! I know I took a couple pics of her wearing the first one I made...but can I find it?! NO! I'll keep looking...<br /><br />The latest project sitting on my table are tooth fairy tins. I have 11 of them almost finished, they just need some finishing touches. They are all stamped and colored. Now they are screaming for some embellishments!<br /><br />On other crafty news...I have been toying with the idea of putting some of my cards into local gift shops and boutiques. The neat part is that just last week I got an email from a gal I know that is planning on opening a store that will showcase artist and crafters items in addition to secondhand furniture. I'm excited by this opportunity and hope for the best!<br /><br />We have been having great weather the last week. Lots of time outside and we're getting a lot done around the house. Fun times!<br /><br />Hope you are having a great weekend!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-28085690679263568652009-04-20T21:31:00.000-07:002009-04-20T22:03:05.887-07:00Cake Pops<span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Hope you had a great weekend! The weather had predicted it to be a nice weekend, but not so much in these parts. Now...it wasn't nasty out or anything, but we've had enough icky weather here in the Pacific Northwest! We want sun!<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Our blessing came today...it was beautiful!!! A glorious 75 degree sunny day!!! The best. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I had to run some errands this afternoon...getting ready for MOPS tomorrow. If I haven't mentioned, I am working in the Hospitality function of our MOPS group this year. It's a good and necessary position, but definitely has its share of work attached to it. We are having our Spring Tea tomorrow and each mom is going to receive a really pretty box filled with inspirational quotes. I had to cut the quotes that had been printed out into little strips to be put into the boxes. That's 50 sets of quotes with 13 cuts each. That means I made 650 cuts with my guillotine cutter today!!! My fingers were tired by the time I was done!</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">So, no card today. But instead I have something really fun *and yummy!* to share! I have started to casually follow </span><a href="http://bakerella.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Bakerella's</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> blog. She has some of the neatest creations. If you like to bake you should check her out.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">These are cake pops...and they are yummy!</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326999884596231506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0QDAvlflzDmsHb59tR2Yew-h5xgj2Saq3fKjVizx6k-8AxbWA2evugV_7BpOn_Wnpv9x-eObIxKW6XA07t1I50CKxYSdH8AoY6JoW0dd_XNamT-NoYWoXmrzWsqPD1SLdddz6t8b0rzKF/s400/DSCF0814.JPG" border="0" /></span><br /><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Iwanted to take a better picture...but we ate them all before I got around to snapping a picture of them all, LOL! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">The pops I made were done using Strawberry cake mix, vanilla frosting and Wilton Pink Candy Melts. These are really pretty easy to make. If you would like the recipe, </span><a href="http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2008/08/hope-these-put-smile-on-your-face.html"><span style="font-family:georgia;">here</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> is Bakerella's.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Here's the recipe for those of you that can't wait....LOL!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Cake Pops</span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">1 box cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)</span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">1 can frosting (16 oz.)</span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Wax paper</span></p><p>C<span style="font-family:georgia;">andy melts</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> (1 lb. pkg.)</span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Lollipop sticks</span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.<br />Mix thoroughly with 1 can frosting. (I use the back of a large spoon, but it may be easier to use fingers to mix together. But, be warned, it will get messy. Also, you may not need the entire can of frosting, so start out by using almost the entire can and add more if you need to.)<br />Roll mixture into quarter size balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50)<br />Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package. (30 sec intervals, stirring in between.)<br />Dip the tip of your lollipop stick in a little of the melted candy coating and insert into the cake balls. (Insert a little less than halfway.)<br />Place them in the freezer for a little while to firm up.<br />Once firm, carefully insert the cake ball into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and rotating until covered. Once covered remove and softly tap and rotate until the excess chocolate falls off. Don't tap too hard or the cake ball will fall off, too.<br />Place in a styrofoam block to dry.</span></p><span style="font-family:georgia;">*recipe instructions Bakerella's<br /><br />These were SO good! I preferred them chilled from the frig as opposed to room temperature. Personal preference.<br /><br />I had some issues with them not dipping well...things like falling off the lollipop stick and such. I discovered that I had made my cakepops too large. Keep that in mind when rolling the balls, around a quarter size is probably the best for dipping. I'm thinking next time I try these I will see how a small cookie scoop would work for making them into little balls.<br /><br />I hope you have fun and enjoy these if you give them a try. Let me know, I'd love to know how it went for you.<br /><br />On completely different note. I am SO excited for my most recent purchase! I got the ok from my dear hubby to get a photo tent kit!!! I have been wanting one for ages. We have terrible light in our house for taking photographs, so it is a challenge for me to get nice photos of my creations. This is especially challenging when I would like to list some of my creations on Etsy. This includes my paper creations as well as the doll clothes that both my mother and I create. I can't wait for it to come. Hopefully it will be her within the week!<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></span></a>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-80098833452536733702009-04-18T15:32:00.000-07:002009-04-18T20:09:57.056-07:00Construction Card<div>Hello world! Here I am *again* LOL!!!<br /><br />I guess you could say I took a little break from blogging for a bit. It wasn't planned and wasn't intentional...just one of those things. You know...busy living life...enjoying my sweet little Bella and husband, time with friends, etc.<br /><br />Good news is I'm back and I have a card to share!<br /><br />This card is for our nephew's third birthday. He turns 3 and is having his party this afternoon. I was racking my brains trying to think of something to get him. Keeping in mind that whatever I get is going to be for both his brother and himself. He has an older brother...they are 3 & 4...yup, I know what you're thinking...busy family, tired mom!<br /><br />So I'm wandering the aisles of ToysRUs trying to find something. They are into the typical boy stuff...cars, construction, planes and the like. I ended up getting him a Matchbox cars construction set and extra construction vehicles. Along with the game Memory. What kid doesn't love Memory? I remember I did growing up.<br /><br />On to the card :)<br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326165308060790834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRQKnI1dJEUR4H11nmWB5etvD4Xke35s8OpMebq0UmeKfpK96P_4AY0as_zodSTGbrB33hG1PRelB2JD8Vy2etVlDlyMjnTgE7IJzCMtgvqVyuHXj96g6OTjXj7zSMXnyJiqDUQvS1cD83/s400/DSCF0841.JPG" border="0" /><br />I whipped this up this afternoon while Bella was down for her nap. Ahh....I love nap time!<br /><br />I had the perfect images for his card that I had received from the PIF image swap over at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.splitcoaststampers.com">SCS</a>. These cute little construction vehicles are from an old Stampin' Up! set. I'm not sure of the name, sorry.<br /><br />I think these guys are SO cute! They were a lot of fun to color in too. I used my Copics...and of course I didn't keep track of what colors I used.<br /><br />The layout for the card is Lauren's Saturday Sketch found <a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2009/04/17/calling-all-saturday-sketch-fans/">here</a>, I chose to use sketch mytimess30. This was a super fun sketch to use! I find I am using sketches more and more often as a starting point for my cards. They really help me. I often don't follow them to a 'T' but I love them as a place to begin. You can find the sketch <a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2009/04/17/calling-all-saturday-sketch-fans/">here</a>. </p><p><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326234248176487250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 345px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3MQnVxVKEF23MuwCZDUej0lPKy0y_yIYkwnZiTzRKsunnUPQHKRLD6iWcbl5vbCCVqxiERAUHbo3pYz6MN4OfRZ9fU96-KJtxMEDNL0u-qX_hfwysPidwW0bkUZija_7lnSyHgUavoc0z/s400/mytimess30.png" border="0" /><br />I used some creative liberty and flipped the layout so that it was vertical rather than horizontal. This just worked for me with the images I was using.<br /><br />If you notice this is not your normal card size. It is roughly 3 1/2" x 8 1/2". So long and skinny. As an FYI...it fits nicely in a normal letter size envelope. Which is super nice and a great way to use up envelopes you already have at home!<br /><br />All of the images were cut out using my detail scissors and them I pop dotted them onto the front of the card. The sentiment down in the bottom right corner is also pop-dotted, but with a double layer so that it sticks up a bit higher than the images.<br /><br />If you're a follower of Lauren's <a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/">blog</a> (I *heart* her blog!) you'll know that she's looking to revamp the way she does the Saturday Sketches. Part of this revamping is looking for a new team to work with her sketches. I thought I'd join the chase and see what happens. It would be kinda fun to work with her...just an eensy-weensy little bit!!!<br /><br />Gotta get ready for the birthday party! Have a great afternoon! </p><p>ETA: Jeff and I had the wrong day for the birthday party! We showed up at their house and found out the party is tomorrow! LOL! Luckily, our friends (Jeff's best friend...like family, hence the nephew) were home and we got to visit for a little bit with them...and laugh over our mistake!!!</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a></p></div>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-52566454976946875312009-01-23T17:56:00.000-08:002009-01-23T18:00:17.143-08:00Quick post...Hi!<br /><br />I just wanted to pop in real quick and let everyone know that the rhinestones arrived! Yay! I will work on getting them packed up and on their way this weekend.<br /><br />Just as an FYI, my mom had surgery today to repair a hiatal hernia. It went well! But she is supposed to be released tomorrow and I am the one who is picking her up and making sure she's ok and all that good stuff. I don't foresee any reason the rhinestones should be delayed in getting out, but wanted to let you know :)<br /><br />Have a great weekend!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-67232439475726475732009-01-18T20:02:00.000-08:002009-01-18T20:08:58.106-08:00Blogaversary!!!Happy Blogaversary to Me!<br /><br />Happy Blogaversary to Me!<br /><br />Happy Blogaversary toooooo Meee-eeee-eeee!!!<br /><br />Wow...I've been blogging for two years already! I can hardly believe it. I know, I haven't been the best of bloggers and by no means the most consistent. As I'm sure many of you can relate...I have the best of intentions and lots of ideas I want to share...I just don't seem to get that all translated into a blog post :)<br /><br />I have hopes of being more consistent this year. I really want to share some recipes with you all. I already have some pictures on my computer of some things I've made. Can you say Caramel Apple Pie?!?! YUM! It is truly the one of the best I've had....love it! Hope you don't mind if I throw in some recipes from time to time.<br /><br />I want to do something fun for my blogaversary...maybe some blog candy! I have to think about it and fiugre it out. Which I'll plan to do during my nice hot soak in the bath this evening. Ahhhh! R-E-L-A-X!<br /><br />Thanks to everyone who peeks in here and especially to all of you who leave comments. They really do add a bright spot to my days. I enjoy the love that you all leave with your comments! Thank you!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-9336502264127350352009-01-15T13:49:00.000-08:002009-01-15T14:03:09.863-08:00Shopping Organizer<div><div>Happy Thursday!<br /></div><div>I have a fun little project to share today. But first a little bit of background...I know, I know...you just want to see and hear about the good stuff! LOL.</div><div></div><br /><div>I was at a MOPS meeting a month or so ago and our topic was about saving money, smart shopping and coupon clipping. That type of stuff. We had a gal come and share her secrets to shopping with coupons, getting deals, etc. Well, the gals at my table got to talking about this and one shared a little shopping organizer she'd picked up at the local office supply store. It had pockets for reciepts and coupons. But it wasn't CUTE. You know it lacked some personality!</div><div></div><br /><div>Anyway, we got to talking and I was looking at it and thought "Hey! I can make one of those!" *Lightbulb Moment* And I've got everything I need to make it too! Bonus! LOL. So we got to talking about it at our table and one of my friends said she'd get one from me if I made it. So here it it! Gina, if you're reading this, I'm sorry this is so late.</div><div></div><br /><div>She likes brown and green, so I chose the papers with that in mind. I had a lot of fun putting this together. A little measuring here and there and wha-laa! </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291644130873270066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl1uHjoXxCjL-FBfpqhWFCpzbpQL2K0yY5-dygXj2PxNhleO97gUYFHOjYBGehFfP3O-Qnnn8D6MwnUth9AS5MeWqxzTDlcE87j6jxB6ejtMkakDyEj_2s5QZ0rG6uQS2OjEZwDWVWLjje/s400/Gina's+Shopping+Organizer+002.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>The most tedious part was putting the whole thing together with my Bind-it-All. I had to pull out my instruction booklet and make sure I had everything in the right order. Punching the holes threw me for a loop. I need to work on that some more and figure out some tips and tricks. I know there has to be a better way than what I was doing. Especially considering I was going with the good ole' "eyeball it" trick. </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291644135603221250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNGuStXzFxJw_-X7Jp_spMo76NLsanWpw_ae4lo9H0jAJdt3Lk35inPzPbe4wm1C66oCG7P8PYY9DwgyKMNZp1Q5mGGDs8nA4jhLOXMC7u3g8kgTdScrDaBsL_rdN7v2SdfP3ddkXizskF/s400/Gina's+Shopping+Organizer+008.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>If anyone has any tips for the Bind-it-All....please share!</div><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a></div></div>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-90343428075126890422009-01-12T12:11:00.000-08:002009-01-12T12:33:21.906-08:00His Holy Name {1}<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW43V0ld19ZpUDGwACAvKNbNp8PJTncQBJagV40xXHRoMaLb9DMpSlwfKDv2Cs4n9mPGMoaVqonymp0e_O2sfrohyxua9pEcJi4VcbtVkEziXNG15UZmxYYZHr9ykJePh59GTsK_MyRV2-/s1600-h/Christmas+2008+142.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290503838510378786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW43V0ld19ZpUDGwACAvKNbNp8PJTncQBJagV40xXHRoMaLb9DMpSlwfKDv2Cs4n9mPGMoaVqonymp0e_O2sfrohyxua9pEcJi4VcbtVkEziXNG15UZmxYYZHr9ykJePh59GTsK_MyRV2-/s400/Christmas+2008+142.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />This post is leaving me torn. I am super excited to share it with you, but I can't stand the photo I took! This picture does NOTHING to show how cute this project really is. *sigh* It is so bright and cheery in life and this photo makes it look blah and dismal.<br /><br />To begin with, I've decided to play along in <a href="http://triplethescraps.blogspot.com/">Patter's</a> bi-weekly challenge this year. She is hosting a challenge study of God's attributes. I am SO excited to join in and play. I am hoping to play all year long and end the year with a scrapbook full of goodness :)<br /><br />The first weeks challenge was the word <a href="http://triplethescraps.blogspot.com/2009/01/his-holy-name-challenge-1.html">Holy</a>. You can see the details of it right <a href="http://triplethescraps.blogspot.com/2009/01/his-holy-name-challenge-1.html">{here}. </a>There is also a grea post <a href="http://triplethescraps.blogspot.com/2009/01/his-holy-name-challenge-study-links.html">{here}</a> with links to the introduction and each weeks word.<br /><br />I really enjoyed finding the verses that were meaningful to me. I actually had three verses that I wanted to use, but there just wasn't room for the third one on the page I was making. I'm sure I could have squuezed it in and made it work, but I had already glued down some of the pieces. LOL.<br /><br />Here are the verses that I chose:<br /><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=exodus%203:5;&version=31;">Exodus 3:5</a><br /><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm%2077:12-14;&version=31;">Psalm 77:12-14</a><br /><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=revelation%203:6-8;&version=31;">Revelation 3:6-8</a><br /><br /><br /><br />About the photograph. Argh! I think it stinks. I took the picture late at night, which is half the problem I'm sure. And the lighting in my craft room is not the greatest. You would never guess from the picture, but I used the brand new PTI Raspberry Fizz on this! The base page is Raspberry Fizz, which I love. It is such a bright and vibrant color...nothing at all like it shows in the picture.<br /><br />And the rhinestones I used....they hardly show! I put rhinestones around the circle, which has the definition of holy. And there are also some rhinestones on the brackets that endcap the word holy as well as the brackets on the bottom of the page.<br /><br />I need to work on my photography skills. I think I have a big lighting problem and need to find a work-around. Maybe I should try taking photos in my hallway, we have a bright florescent light out there.<br /><br />If you have any tips, I'm open. I'd be happy to hear them!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-77161117061377588992009-01-12T12:09:00.000-08:002009-01-12T12:11:10.277-08:00On their way...The rhinestones, pearls and hearts have been ordered!

I’ve picked colors that will work well for this time of year and will be useful for all of your projects, whether it be winter, Valentine’s or spring.<br /><br />I use these rhinestones all the time on my projects and find them very easy to use. They work so well on your cards, scrapbook pages, altered items and more. These rhinestones and pearls are acid and lignin free so, no worries about using them in your scrapbooks or with your photos.<br /><br />I’m offering a new and fun item this time as well…hearts! They are very cute. Take a peak below at the picture and information on them.<br /><br />The details of each specific share are listed below the picture of each rhinestone style. I’ve included pictures to show the colors included in each share, NOT THE QUANTITY. Please read the details of each share for quantity information.<br /><br />The pictures shown do not show the full sparkle and shine of these rhinestones. It is difficult to get a picture that captures these as you see them in real life. :)<br /><br />In the interest of the holidays and business at this time of year, I will keep this share open until January 8th.<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284721742213103618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 298px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPXUqwswpYWUsOAr649eyblRnVRYV213ocW6gUK8Scsd7Y1RVvYGqpmCIttUuPX9Fud5enCnVLmJ7HqmB8eQWo2CjzaOOcmuuUL71qmUeQfQiDydRaUgNcThyphenhyphenDwjVB3T43LpXx7lxy7F9X/s400/rhinestone+multi+picture.jpg" border="0" /><br /><strong>Rhinestone Share</strong></p><p align="center">$25.00 + S/H</p>This share includes 11 different rhinestone colors.

Upon receiving them, you will notice there is an adhesive strip that attaches one line of rhinestones/pearls together. This is common in most adhesive rhinestones/bling. There are two ways you can easily separate them. One is to use scissors and cut between each rhinestone as you use them. The second is to use an exacto knife to cut the adhesive strip between each rhinestone. The exacto knife is also very handy to pick up the rhinestone with and attach it to your project. This is the method I use and I find it works very well. Hope this helps!</p><p>US shipping: flat $4.80 for Priority mail, regardless of the number of shares ordering.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! We headed down to my sister-in-laws for the big feast and had a nice time. This was Bella's first time sleeping away from home and I had the normal first time anxieties :) She did great and was such a trooper. Didn't have any troubles going to sleep and staying on her routine. God is good!</div><div><br /></div><div>Since it'd been so long since I have posted something crafty I thought I'd rustle something up to show you. You'd think since I've been doing so much for the craft shows I'm in this year that I'd have taken the time to snap some pictures, right? Wrong! I haven't a one from any of the shows this year or of the things I've been making! Sheesh! I have one more show starting this Wednesday and running through Saturday...I'm hoping to get some pictures from that show.<br /></div><div>I did manage to find a few pictures of how I'm storing my Copic markers. So I'm sharing those today.</div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275335682344621170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZVzzdgjNdFW3bFIiPqowkbIOjNJyFfvO6eb3lWB2mROlzJwQgRi7F4uo2RnnzlZyqq5m-aBTJBHbHVDLxRMBsLia3IgTPXIOYOg6EieHV6Ksa7w-rAT2CoeQ42bUiX15YKoGujNFQrNLQ/s400/Arabella+October+2008+064.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>My inspiration in using this for my Copics was found on another gal's blog and of course I can't remember what blog it was or who she is! I was blog surfing the day I ran across this and I must not have saved it. </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275335674280229618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscg4hc4XA4wkKgV-VmqK2hLU3nL1hyphenhyphen8myCh1MntDUaGMKCbEsBttJV4PzbQI2JPQsn45uOXhiGLGTqEUzu_YU0JEPfw8KUQ65UEPoy-v5K3rRMvLvR175n-NeMsdHURp9t0wZP4HAwLqD/s400/Arabella+October+2008+066.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div>This is a fabulous little organizer. It spins and will hold SO much! I am no where near having it full and there is still plenty of room for things. The top portion of the holder is separated into 4 sections. It makes an 'X' shape, which works quite well with my Copics. I have the Copics in two of the sections and the other two hold a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I have a pair of scissors, liquid snow(like liquid applique, but a different name), niji waterbrush, cd holding my tag nesties & a few more random things.<br /><br />If you look at the side, there is a little drawer right there. I have put all of my Stampin' Up markers in there. They fit perfectly. I am just a few away from having all 48 colors (I have the ones I need right now) and there is still room for the complete set. I was trying to get all my coloring mediums and tools in one spot and the SU markers was posing a problem for me. Then I thought of this and I love it! Works great and the best part is that they are still able to lie on their sides.<br /><br />On the other side of the holder, there is a little pull out set of three drawers, which you can't see from the view of the picture here. Inside that I have a tiny measuring tape, felt pads for my alcohol ink applicator and some rubber bands.<br /><br />Now, you're probably wondering where I got this. It came from one of our favorite stores....Target! If I remember correctly, it was only $19.99...a great buy for the amount of storage this puppy has! Honestly, I'm not sure if they still carry them or not...but I love it and think it's great!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-57601699787113071622008-11-20T12:04:00.001-08:002008-11-20T12:10:43.973-08:00Happy Birthday...Happy Birthday to Me!<br />Happy Birthday to Me!<br />Happy Birthday tooooooooooooooo Me!!!<br /><br />You got it...today's my birthday! I am officially 31 today. I was telling DH last night that it hasn't felt like my birthday was coming up this year...and here it it! Once November hits, I usually have the "it's my birthday soon!" and start to get excited for it. Now, it's not that I'm dreading turning 31. It's more along the lines of I have been so busy that I haven't even stopped to think and absorb the fact that it is my birthday.<br /><br />I am looking forward to this evening though. My mom is coming over to watch Bella and DH and I are going to have dinner out at Maggiano's. I LOVE Maggiano's....it is Yummalicious! They have the best Italian food and the atmosphere is great.<br /><br />And thank you all for the wonderful words of encouragement about my dear Atilla.

I'm sure many of you understand what I am trying to say. I just felt like I needed to post about this...I hemmed and hawed over it...and just kept feeling like I needed to share this. This is in part why I haven't been posting frequently the last few weeks. That and I've been very busy getting ready for the craft shows I am participating in this year. My first one is going on right now. From what I can tell, I am pleased with what I've sold so far. Hopefully I can get some pics of my display before I tear down and share with you.<br /><br /><div align="center">2 Corinthians 12:9-10</div><div align="center">9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.

I decide to meander on over to the Marvy website and I find this cool, neato guide!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Check this out...it's a guide to the popular Marvy punches showing how they layer together. This is such a neat and handy thing to have around. You can check it out for you self <a href="http://www.marvy.com/product_details.aspx?ProductID=121">{here}.</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257157219179030114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFPycia98koco28cqxJuXF8PDx9WxPAx49_T5mAaIqssLIR4IO-kUtFw4_-GuonV-yMIzZjPbScKO3Z3Ssmp0QMcXR6xkO3xMhyphenhyphenvStQzukDUOxExk1WSccj9kTkIwOUUnAj8KU1mKxhqnY/s400/LAYERING_L.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>Now, I don't have all of these punches...not even close! But I love the visual it gives. Really helpful when working on our projects to see how they look layered together and then it is SO easy to tell what punch is what by the color coding. Did you notice that? *I know you all did!* They've color coded the guide to match the color of each punch size.</p><p>I was just so excited I had to share this find with you all!</p><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-28855329136480164052008-10-02T20:09:00.000-07:002008-10-02T20:12:13.693-07:00Blog Candy sighting!!!Hey everyone!<br /><br />I scoped an awesome blog candy over at Lim's blog <a href="http://lim-thevoicesinmyheadlimblog.blogspot.com/">~here~</a>.

I've been quite busy the last few weeks working on getting things ready for <a href="http://www.mops.org/">MOPS</a> this year. I'm excited for it to start...it's going to be fun! Along the way we left our camera at a friends house, so I haven't been able to take pictures of my latest cards and creations. Thankfully, we've got it back...just haven't gotten around to taking pictures yet.<br /><br />This past week I caught a sinus/head cold which hasn't been fun. But thankfully I don't think it's really bad and I seem to be getting better already. At least the stuffiness isn't as bad.<br /><br />I do have some fun in store for you! I'm putting together the final details of a May Arts Ribbon Share!!! I've picked out some very fun ribbons...thanks in part to everyone's fabulous input from a couple months ago :) Be on the lookout for it in a few days. I'd post it now, but I won't be in town for a couple days and I'd like to be able to respond to any questions, etc.<br /><br />I hope you're as excited about it as me!<br /><br />Hope everyone has a spectacular weekend!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-3439595886178121462008-08-30T11:54:00.000-07:002008-08-30T14:09:50.465-07:00Altered LettersI've had this project done for some time now...I got them hung on her wall, then I forgot to take pictures of it :)<br /><br />I finally took the pics because I wanted to share them with y'all.

I couldn't show you these without showing the little cutie they are for.<br /><br />I found these letters at Michael's this spring/summer. They are made of MDF and were very easy to alter. I picked out the patterned paper, which is K&Company. I'm going to use this paper for her scrapbook as well. That's a whole other story...I haven't even started her scrapbook yet!!! Ack! I still need to scrap my wedding, honeymoon, and many other events!<br /><br />These were very easy and fun to do. I traced each letter onto the patterned paper, cut it out and then mod podged it onto the letter. After I had each letter covered I painted the edges of each letter with pink paint so they look all pretty.<br /><br />I went with the simple & pretty look for embellishing these letters. Each letter has one embellishment like rhinestones, primas, ribbon, etc.<br /><br />As you can see I hung them up on the wall right above her crib. Just to make sure they are super safe I used double sided foam tape meant to hang things on walls.<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCXhDB65SMIBro5SUjKRKNBFfZ3xRgPdWUvc35bOh9lnwUL94ilDT2P8UYr0gFBl_wR0vtJNXfGrw5L3p-F33ZGH6HJbqjkcNVMXcxndbVQ_Khu1JpIU0G1z8wFi3aKQkoH7F-L5fWC_2/s1600-h/Bella+Name.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240416456158985330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCXhDB65SMIBro5SUjKRKNBFfZ3xRgPdWUvc35bOh9lnwUL94ilDT2P8UYr0gFBl_wR0vtJNXfGrw5L3p-F33ZGH6HJbqjkcNVMXcxndbVQ_Khu1JpIU0G1z8wFi3aKQkoH7F-L5fWC_2/s400/Bella+Name.jpg" border="0" /></a>Enjoy!<br /></p><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-57133185188942281622008-08-20T10:17:00.001-07:002008-08-20T10:22:03.328-07:00Good News!This is to all my ladies that participated in the last rhinestone and pearl share.<br /><br />I am very happy to announce that the remaining rhinestones and pearls have been mailed and are on their way to you!!!

I've made a card! It has been what feels like forever since I've made a card. The past few weeks I've been working on rearranging and reorganizing my craft room. I moved some tables around and such. I'll have to get some pics of it.<br /><br /><br /><br />This is the SFYTT found over at Iheart2stamp's <a href="http://iheart2stamp.com/2008/08/16/say-chargeits-saturday/">blog</a>. I think this is a really fun sketch!<br /><br /><br /><br />I have been itching to use my Tilda's that I received from my awesome PIF friends. I'm not sure of the name of this one, but isn't she cute? I've been toying with the idea of joining the Magnolia Stamp Club. I'm still thinking about it.<br /><br />It's hard to tell from this picture, but her wings are all sparkly thanks to the Clear Spica Glitter pen from Copic. I also dotted Baby Blue Stickles onto the flowers of her dress. Under the glitter they are a yellowy-apricot color. The Stickles were also put on the flower in the middle of the sentiment. The center of the flower is covered with yellow spica glitter pen to make it really sparkly!<br /><br />I dug through my Primas and found these three flowers that I layered together to make this perfect accent for the card. I think it is so cute!<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful start to your week!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a><br /><br /><br />Recipe:<br />Stamps: Tilda by Magnolia, SU Riveting<br />Paper: Cool Caribbean, Almost Apricot, DCWV Nana's Nursery<br />Ink: Cool Caribbean, Black (unsure as this was a PIF)<br />Accessories: Baby Blue Stickles, Clear Spica Glitter pen, Yellow Spica Glitter pen, Prima Flowers, 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" circle punchesGodchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-12414191852553806242008-08-17T19:56:00.001-07:002008-08-17T20:03:50.667-07:00Sweet Baby...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ZJUVHIihYpB4UMo8ZtkfQAoqAqI4e6XzavWylVbAngviWtHx0oh3XI9bwCh-syyb1JRORei4PR4Ov7JLUmgyEBvHxH6wSZjHOuOOSKOwQ1L7FkmmjnMm4wdddXcguF0EY2EwETf6BYqs/s1600-h/Arabella+July+2008+084.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235686836194249154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ZJUVHIihYpB4UMo8ZtkfQAoqAqI4e6XzavWylVbAngviWtHx0oh3XI9bwCh-syyb1JRORei4PR4Ov7JLUmgyEBvHxH6wSZjHOuOOSKOwQ1L7FkmmjnMm4wdddXcguF0EY2EwETf6BYqs/s400/Arabella+July+2008+084.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Isn't she the cutest? Yes, I think so!<br /><br />A cutie and a stinker! This little Bella just learned how to pull herself up in her crib...and anything else she can manage. As much as we love it, there is also a downside. Naps and bedtime have become...well, interesting. Where we once had a sweet baby that would go to sleep without much fuss (she'd fuss and carry on for a bit, but no big deal...if she was tired she'd end up tossing and turning for a bit, then fall asleep).<br /><br />Now...we have a Bella who immediately upon being put in her crib stands up and holds onto her crib rail! When we leave the room...the crying begins. The full on "I am so upset with you right now!" cry. She finally cries herself to sleep.<br /><br />It sounds like this is a phase and she'll get through it. Anyone else have this happen and tips they can share?<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/263/530CF8391F48D33B3698515B6C947432.png" /></a>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-979762855917189012008-08-16T09:21:00.000-07:002008-08-16T09:24:19.678-07:00Rhinestone/Pearl UpdateHi! Hope you are having a spectacular weekend! We are experiencing hot weather up here in the Seattle area...it's going to hit the high 90s today! Whew!<br /><br />I wanted to let everyone in the rhinestone and pearl shares that I was notified the remaining items have been shipped and are on their way to me. I am hoping to receive them next week. Once I get them I will be packing them up and sending them on to those that are waiting for them.<br /><br />Thanks for being so patient.<br /><br />AlanaGodchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-50150518074563135532008-08-10T21:20:00.000-07:002008-08-10T21:28:07.722-07:00Waiting...I'm still waiting for the package of remaining rhinestones and pearls to arrive.

They have to be one of my favorite stamp lines out there. Well, I do have a number of other favorites too! LOL!<br /><br />I made this card for my mom's birthday, which was in June. This is just up her alley, she loves to sew. When she was young, in her twenties, she would make her own clothes. I remember her telling me how she's stay up till the wee hours of the morning working on the outfit she was going to wear to work the next day! How neat is that? Not only making your own outfits, but doing the night before you wear it? Wow.<br /><br />This card uses some of my mom's favorite colors, pink and green. I didn't realize it when I made the card, but I used the same Basic Grey patterned paper as her Mother's day card.<br /><br />I got the image from one of my PIF friends. What a great group of gals! The PIF image swap group can be found <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=370029">here</a> at SCS. That's the link for the current round we're in.<br /><br />The super cute flower embellishments were done using bridal flowers found at Michael's. I got this wonderful idea from <a href="http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/">Lauren</a>. The flowers were originally shimmery silver, but I colored them with my pink Copic marker and now they're this pretty shimmery pink. I used the pink rhinestones from my shares in the middle of each flower.<br /><br />Oh, and did you notice the rhinestone in her hair? I thought that was a cute idea!<br /><br />After looking at this card, I would do a couple things different. First, I would ground the Bella. She needs something to stand on! I think I missed this when I made the card because I was in such a hurry to get it done and put with mom's present. That's what I get for doing things last minute. :)<br /><br />I think I would also add an embellishment of some kind to the upper right or left hand corner of the image. It needs something there. Maybe I'll redo this card and fix it up.<br /><br /><em>Recipe:</em><br /><em>Stamps: Fashionista Bella from </em><a href="http://www.stampingbella.com/"><em>Stamping Bella</em></a><br /><em>Ink: unsure as this was a PIF</em><br /><em>Paper: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, patterned paper by Basic Grey</em><br /><em>Accessories: Copics, Rhinestones, Bridal flowers<br /></em>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918107116461926651.post-63764952291446396402008-08-04T09:24:00.000-07:002008-08-16T09:25:19.351-07:00Super Mom<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIyFJgjOGal0JIm_u43PimIKkuonnAud0-52t94fJp96kEiPD29CzMsjdPFCX3MXc25O00FInX1L6fAlugQR-9zqjliY5kI3q-ltj8OPxSjqtPlH_NwKPHomnCfK_jDy8mhghsMuX8nScq/s1600-h/Arabella+July+2008+041.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230699293980217538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIyFJgjOGal0JIm_u43PimIKkuonnAud0-52t94fJp96kEiPD29CzMsjdPFCX3MXc25O00FInX1L6fAlugQR-9zqjliY5kI3q-ltj8OPxSjqtPlH_NwKPHomnCfK_jDy8mhghsMuX8nScq/s400/Arabella+July+2008+041.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />This was the card I made for my mom this past Mother's day. I had fun with it...the Bella's are so cute!<br /><br />I paper-pieced the skirt on Super Bella and colored in the rest of her using my Copics. Her cape was made sparkly by the addition of Stickles! Gotta love the glitter! LOL!<br /><br />This card was perfect for my mom, as I truly do believe she is a super mom. I love her to pieces and couldn't imagine what my life would be like if she were not in it.<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful start to your week!<br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Recipe:</em></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em></em></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Stamps: Super Bella from <a href="http://www.stampingbella.com/">Stamping Bella</a>, Snap Stamps</em></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versafine (sentiment)</em></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Paper: Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Certainly Celery, patterned paper by Basic Grey</em></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Accesories: Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder, SU scallop punch, Copics, Stickles</em><br /></span>Godchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15435487520898991884noreply@blogger.com5
