Wanna play a game? 😉
The way this works is that you use the first letter of your name to find a word for each of the following:
(I’ll start!)
Your Name – Crystal
Four letter word – coat
Boy’s name – Charlie
Girl’s name – Cinderella
Occupation – carpenter
Color – charcoal
Beverage – coca cola
Something found in a bathroom – counter
A Place – Cape Cod
Reason for being late – car trouble
Food – cereal
Something you shout – Come on in!
Ok, now it’s your turn! 😀
Hugs,
Hey there, Kids!
Your old pal lovable friend, Crystal, is looking for a teeny tiny favor . . . 😉
Oh no, what does she want THIS time?!?
To add a little fun, spice, oohs, ahhs, giggles, and smiles to the blog, I’d love to add a photo that YOU send me in a subject of YOUR choice!
There are so many ideas including:
Family
Pets
Back yard
Favorite knick knack or collectible
Craft project you are in the middle of, or have finished.
Last night’s dinner
A book you’re reading
Favorite snack
Sentimental possession (Grandma’s brooch, etc.)
The “bargain” you just purchased, or anything you just bought!
None of the above – but something you choose to send!
A relatively clear photo is preferable, but I may be able to sharpen or brighten one that you are not sure about. Just email it to me at the following address:
crystal [at] beadhappilyeverafter [dot] com
I’d be thrilled if I got enough of them to be able to use one a week for a while.
Have a fabulous weekend. Maybe you’ll even snap a photo or two . . . just sayin’ 😉
See you Monday!
Hugs,
I know you’ve heard of a “group hug” . . . 😉
Well, it’s been so long since we’ve been shopping together, that today I’ve scheduled a “group shop!” 😀
This time, we’ll enjoy a little fall foliage as we head out on a shop-til-we-drop tour with an autumn theme.
I’ve splurged on the fancy tour bus – because nothing is too good for you Kids. 😉
And, as always, I’ve packed a whole bunch of tasty snacks – shopping is hungry work!
OK, remember now, we’re using the buddy system – I don’t want anyone getting lost! Ready? Here we gooooo…….

Hi there, Kids! 😀
If you have a chance to regularly read the comments here, then you know that Kelly Ann usually gives us a little weekly report on what “holidays” are scheduled for that week. It’s always fun to read the variety on her list, and it’s very sweet of her to take the time to compile it for us.
For example, this week in one of her comments, she let us know that
Monday was National Sausage Pizza Day (along with Columbus Day).
Tuesday was International Moment of Frustration Scream Day (Crystal says: “Gosh, don’t ya just love that one?”)
Wednesday was National Bring Your Teddy Bear To Work & School Day
Friday (tomorrow) will be Boss’s Day
Of course there can’t be “holidays” EVERY day of the week, but there’s an interesting coincidence about this week’s list!
Did you happen to notice there wasn’t anything for today – Thursday? 😉
Could the reason be that today is . . . .
Please join me in wishing Carol a very
HAPPY BIRTHDAY – filled with fun and sweet surprises! 😀
(I’d love to wish YOU a happy birthday on your day, too. Just click here to let me know the date!)
Hugs,
Boy am I dumb!
I forgot this was Columbus Day Weekend, a 3-day weekend for Sir Beads! Usually, whenever dear husband doesn’t have to go to work, I take a day off from the blog, as well.
But! I promised you on Friday I’d be here – so here I am.
Hello there! 😀
Honestly, Kids, sometimes when I think back on the simple things that brought joy when I was little, I wonder if today’s kids would ever understand.
Do you think after you’ve had a laptop, a cell phone, a video camera, etc., you could ever be impressed with a piece of colorful paper?
But impressed we were with paper dolls. Whether they were in a magazine or from a “store-bought” booklet, it was an enjoyable couple of hours to carefully cut out all of the little pieces and play fashion coordinator for the doll. I remember I once had a set that was magnetic – oh la la! – that was high tech! No paper tabs were needed!
The page above is from a vintage French publication. Isn’t she sweet? If you decide to print, cut them out, and play with them – well, who could blame you? 😉 (Remember to click to enlarge, first!)
(Weekly question – tomorrow!!)
Hugs,
