Life is not like the brochure

I love this saying!!!  I love collecting sayings too.  I really get alot from them....when they inspire, are funny, make me think, make me feel sentimental, give me happy thoughts, and when it evokes warmth for a holiday.
I use them for all kinds of crafting!

I used to solder all the time...I was addicted!  I loved creating little pieces of art and putting a saying on each one. 
I got a rush completing each one....with the silver shining and the art tucked safely behind glass.

I love using old photos for pendants...I collect old photos...and have willed myself to be really choosy now.

Above is my mom....she was a free spirit.....someone who got the fuzzy end of the lollipop...but she always made the best of things.

I love the holidays....it is something my mom passed down to me...always look forward to something!

Gotta love cats!  Atleast I do....he he he. 

Moms do have special powers....my daughter totally believes it.

Fun isn't it!

All my pendants have sold except a couple....I kept a few for myself.  I made over 1000....so I did burn out.
I might have to make a few more for old times sake!
