Pink frosted cupcakes...

somehow make everything better.....especially breakfast ♥

Damn cats....

My cats are lucky they are so cute, otherwise this carnage would be unforgivable!



Looks like I'll be busy with the glue bottle soon.......*sigh

Monkees scans on Flickr

monkees monthly nov.1967 back cover

Way back in July I did manage to put up scans of some of my Monkees stuff.....(and some other 60s pop culture stuff too)
go check them out & give them some love ♥

Happy 2011...!!!

Hmmmm...well, I'm only 10 days late with that greeting and that's better than I have been in quite some time!
I'm back and I hope to stay healthy enough to hang around for awhile. My crohn's disease was so bad last fall that I ended up having 'suprise!' surgery. I came out of it minus a just over a foot of intestines and my appendix.
Now i feel pretty great! And the best part is, no more hella expensive self-injectable (yikes) meds that don't work (and give me arthritis and make me tired/cranky). I'm just on a maintenence dose of Imuran, and I'll cross my fingers that I stay out of the hospital and away from another surgery for a long long time!
Now I am looking and seeing where I'm completely behind on things, and I'm starting to work on fixing it.
I'm hoping that by the end of the month I will have made some headway. I'll get back to listing in my Etsy and Artfire shops, and then I'll be working on my website.
So, anyways, Happy New Year!! Hope It's a good one for you and yours. :)
