GOING TO MM&M IN KENTUCKY

HI ALL,
I'm going to MM& M (Magic, Mischief & Mayhem) in Kentucky. I have family in Kentucky but won't get to see them. They are about 3 hours away from where I will be. That's Okay though, I'll be busy creating dolls, having fun, meeting friends and making new friends. PLUS I get to go back to my home state for a few days. I will get to see green trees and houses on nice green acreage. I live in the desert and houses are sitting 10 feet on each side. YUCK!! I do have green grass in front and in the back. I also have beautiful roses. It's still the desert. :-) I will return home on Monday the 21st. Until then I won't be posting to my blog nor on a computer. :-)
I'll post pics of the 2 dolls I'm making in Natalie's class and Barbara's class.

Well, got to go finish packing supplies and clothes. I'm leaving tomorrow evening. I'll still have time to get those last minute things in my suitcase. LOL LOL!
More When I Get Home!
Love & Hugs

JUST WORDS TODAY :-)

It's just going to be words today. I'm working at our Perfume Shop today. Ken hurt his back several days ago and needs to stay in bed another day or maybe two. He says he's going to work at the shop tomorrow. ????????? We shall see. :-) Poor guy, he's been in lots of pain.

The tempture is really nice today; in the high 70's. Nice breeze blowing and lots of sunshine as it is most of the time. The weather man says it's going to hit the 90's by the weekend or early next week. Not looking forward to the HOT TEMPS in the Summer. I have beautiful roses in my back yard. They love the cooler temps. They don't like the HOT Summer. I even have roses at Christmas time. :-)

I brought doll work with me to the shop :-) When not busy selling perfume, etc I can play dolls.
I really am working on doing Pre Work for MM&M (Magic Mischief & Mayhem) that I'm going to next week in Kentucky. Annie Hess is the wonderful doll artist that puts this doll conference on. Take a look at the site. http://www.anniedolls.com/

It's going to be fun. Natalie Hamade and Barbara Schoenoff are the teachers. WOOOHOOO! Nothing like putting off until the last minute to do my pre work. That's me. LOL LOL!! I still have a week. :-)
Back to the Pre Work. :-)
Love & Hugs

I'VE BEEN TAGGED BY DEANNA. I have to tell 5 things about myself and tag 5 other bloggers.

1. I LOVE designing and creating dolls of cloth, clay and other mediums, patterns, costumes, and props for my dolls.

2. I MISS my children and grandchildren that live in NY, CT, PA & TX

3. Dolls dance in my head all the time and want to be created. They even wake me up all hours of the night. I have a pad and pencil on my night stand so I can sketch & write them down.

4. I'm addicted to fabric, dyes, fiber papers, fancy fiber yarns, natural dyed flowers, stems, etc.

5. I work better under pressure. :-) Seems that way any how. :-)

I'll go to 5 peoples blogs and tag them. :-)

Love & Hugs
