 WTF:
Sociological Images created a Pinterest board of ads that use sex to sell some bizarre stuff. Such as: organ donation, Seamonkeys, and even mushrooms! (WTF for the ads, I think the pinboard is brilliant.)

Hope you all have a great week. :)

HappyTurkey Day!

No outfit post today. I don't have time to worry about clothes today!

Please enjoy more photos from our latest trip to Mum's farm.

 

 

Legs, she is the only Holstein. She is easy to identify.

 

 

Legs has crazy-long eyelashes!

 

Tod and Merle.

 

Merle using a dirt pile as a pillow.

Lynn wasn't thrilled that I was taking a photo of a spider web in her house...until she saw the photo.

: )

 

Happy Thanksgiving folks! I hope you have a fun and relaxing time.

 

Go easy on your stomachs!

Sparkle Headbands and Holstein Boots

 

It is very hard to see in this lighting, but it is a cable knit sweater with button front, and a tiered ruffle skirt with black sequins. (I still have to work on my photography/lighting skills!)

 

 

Of course I don't wear the heels to let the pups out, rain boots rock.

 

 

 I didn't have to coax Bud to do that! He loves to be close. Cici is wearing her blue and purple "princess" bandanna from her Auntie Elea.

 

 

The little black skull is hand carved, and is from Peru. I picked that up at the craft fair.

 

Find a cool multi-strand necklace that can wrap around your head. If its too short use a bracelet or rubber band  as and extender. Pin near your temples and by the nape of your neck. Ta-da new accessory!

 

I know I don't have a shot of my hair do, so I will just explain it. It is the 3 bun up-do. Super easy to do!

♥Have you ever seen a venomous man eating orchid? No? Well, I am making a sculpture of one. : )
♥Lightbulb moment: turn clear plastic containers upside-down = faux bell jars.
♥Saw this Halloween idea on Facebook originally...might have to do this. (Bwaa ha ha ha!)
♥Eventhough our whole neighbor hood has been turned upside down, it will be so nice when the construction/utility work is done. *Trying soooo hard to be positive.*
♥The fallen leaves collecting in our yard are yellow and chartreuse. Very pretty. : )
♥The pups have been very good in spite of all of the noise and  strangers working nearby. They stick close by us. (They think they are guarding/protecting us from the work crew.)
♥Enameled dutch ovens are pretty cool. I finally used the one we bought. Love it. No more non-stick for us!
♥Raspi and I started to play Magic. It is pretty fun. (Yeah, we are nerds.)

*Special note:

Happy Birthday to Allison & Lori!*
