A few good news articles



I read some good articles in the news this morning and thought I would post them to share with you.

President Barack Obama has a brother named George in Kenya. George Obama has been arrested on drug charges. I'm just thinking that regardless of whether he really had drugs or not, corrupt police, government officials and other bad people may attempt to manipulate Obama through his brother. I hope that there are measures to keep him safe because I wouldn't be surprised to hear that some group has taken him hostage to attempt to gain control over Obama.

Burmingham England has decided to take the apostraphes out of street signs. Apperently the officials believe they are to confusing. One councile member, Martin Mullaney is quoted as saying, "...they confuse people. If I want to go to a restaurant, I don't want to have an A-level (high school diploma) in English to find it." Um, yeah, thats a counci member. Sounds like someone needs to go back to high school. What is next? Are we going to elliminate words from signs all together and replace them with pictures so those who can't read won't get confused? Seriously?!

On a lighter note, here are two articles with good beauty tips for fixes and quick fixes. There is one from MSN and Good Housekeeping and one from Yahoo and Cosmo this morning that looked helpful. What I wouldn't give for a product that really does reduce stretch marks. On the topic of bad dye jobs, I once went in to a hair stylist to get my hair dyed one shade darker blond which isn't much because I'm pretty blond and ended up auburn. I chose to embrace that and actually enjoyed the experience. Unfortunatly I wasn't smart enough to go to another person to get it colored back to blond. Now that was a nightmare.

My second greatest creation!

I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

A New Side Table Arrangement and Jewelery Give Away

Image
I did not think through planning blog posts on certain days when I had a Beach Trip planned. Shortly before we arrived at our rented beach house for the Labor Day Weekend, the owners cut off the Internet service. Bummer. Yes, I could have gone to the Dunkin' Doughnuts and gotten free Wi - Fi but that would have meant being pulled away from this cutie. Miss Wiggles does not like the bright sun (she is a fair skinned red head so I suppose its only natural) so she loved loved loved her sunglasses. Never once did she try to pull them off or attempted to touch them. I think 'cause she sees me where mine, she just knew. In the DIY blogging world, there have been so many neat table arrangements, and arranging every where else from bed sides, dressers , mantles, windows, etc. that I felt I should try my novice hand at artfully arranging my side table to the cozy leather chair in my library (aka, home office). So hear it is. I had this silver platter fit for a Thanksgiving Tur...
