I just joined book mooch and was wondering if any of you have an account? What you do is add books to your inventory that you are willing to send to other people for free. You get points for adding books and sending books. Then you can use those points to get books from other people. It's pretty cool. I don't like to give books I like away, I always imagine my kids using them someday. But, I added some books that I don't want/need. I added some novels and some knitting books. My account is here. Check it out and if you sign up let me know & we can swap books!
Here is my wish list for books to read during the summer:
Love the One You're With, Remember Me?, and Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea
This is the list so far, but there are a bunch more I want.
You've probably seen Margaret Keane's paintings before. They're from the 60s and the girl have huge eyes. I find them creepy but cute at the same time. She's really famous and her paintings sell for thousands. I was on eBay the other night and found this print for sale. It reminded me of Gracie & Emma so I had to have it. It is huge and came with another large print (this one) for free!
I need to get a better frame. I'm saving for vacation, so I'm trying to be good with money. I got this cheap frame to keep it protected & displayed until I can get a nice frame. Right now it's propped up on my dresser because I'm not sure where to hang it. The other print is safely covered and rolled up. I tend to buy lots of art then never get around to hanging it!
My Bella turned six years old today. This is her 6 years ago...
She got her name from the giant belly she had as a pup...
Pretty cute huh? I think she enjoyed it, too bad she has no idea what a birthday is...
It is teacher appreciation week! These are some lovely things I found on Etsy that I would love to get as gifts :)
I've seen these unfinished bird houses in Micheal's lately and I kept being tempted to buy them. I love birdhouses. I think it's because my dad would make birdhouses with my brother & I. Then we would paint them and hang them in the trees. We still have them. So the other day I finally got one. I picked out one with a cute green aluminum roof for only $5. They have a huge selection of them, all cheap.
I used acrylic craft paint, but it probably won't last long being outside. I need to get some of kind of sealer. But I first taped around the roof so I wouldn't get it too messy. Then I painted it an antique white, painted some grass & flowers, and a crow. I think crows don't get enough good attention! My dad gave me a box of trinkets and it had some wooden letters. I had an "H" and glued it onto the side of the house then painted the rest of the letters to spell home. Tiny wooden clothes pins were in the box too. I got some string and cut little fabric triangles out then glued them onto the string. Then I glued the clothes pins onto the birdhouse and hung the string to it. I also added some buttons to the front. Then I tore fabric into tiny stripes and put it inside the birdhouse. I hung it on the neighbor's tree against our fence. There are some cute birds always in that tree so I'm hoping they will hang out in the new nest so I can get better photos!
Here's some photos I took of a cute bird in that tree
