Crafty Chaos

OK you got say... half a day to explore & the other half to dream & get creative?

Well when you do check out today's site, Craft Gossip.

I'm inspired, in love & wishing I had more hours in a day!

Where else can you be made to feel like Thanksgiving isn't going to be complete without making a bread cornucopia & FEEL like you can actually do it & WANT TO!!!

Domestic Witch (with gifts...)

As if there was another reason to check out today's site, you also can win something! A beautiful rose quartz set of runes (with instructions!).


Domestic Witch is a blog I have found within the past few months & simply adore! Although I don't have any kids myself, I enjoy reading how she is homeschooling with an edge. Also the post on depression today was DEAD ON for me.

She is just one of those people who is kind enough to allow us a glimpse inside her unique mind & frankly I adore it. :) I love the way she is "weaving magic into domestic life"!

I would wear it too

Sometimes you see something & all you can do is think... why didn't I think up that?

This is what I thought of when I saw I Wear Your Shirt.

Basically the guy gets free shirts & paid to wear & blog about it. Beyond cool & how easy would that be? Oh I need more imagination....

Housewives tarot

I just found a source for load of fun & divine inspiration....

Too much fun.

here kitty, kitty

OK so I ADORE Halloween. and I ADORE my pets. Somehow the two just don't tend to mess very well. I have been lucky enough to have two dogs that seemed to get a kick out of putting on a costume once in a while, but then again I have NEVER been able to get them to wear anything on their heads. Cats, well the two I had growing up let me know under no uncertain terms exactly what they thought of me dressing them into anything festive. I got the scratches to make sure the point it home.

So when I came across today's site & almost spit out my morning tea! Kitty Wigs! too funny & again I am kinda glad I'm not a cat owner. I love 'em, but I might be tempted to try again for dressing up kitty! :)

Polyvore love!

So I have a bit of an addiction. Its playing with LOADS of clothes I could never afford. In addition to the higher end stuff there is actual affordable things and many, many, many of them on Polyvore.

You just mix up accessories and clothes to make sets or outfits or just artsy designs.

I could do this for hours... & do at times.

Well low & behold I found out one of the companies that I used their accessories in a few of my sets has featured my sets ON THEIR WEBSITE!!! So I have to give love to Amocacushi Boutique.

Check out the bottom of the page. There you will find my designs like these...

Its my party & I do what I want to

PARTY ~ PARTY ~ PARTY!

ok so I might not be having a party, but I will be having at least a cupcake, a candle (or a few) & a wish soon. IF I was having a party, I would want fellow blogger Kara to help me plan it.

I love all the pictures & ideas from today's site, which happens to be her blog, Kara's Party Ideas!

..because you are so dear

Oh today is just yummy sugar buzzed up goodness.

52 cupcakes is about what it sounds like LOADS of things to check out and make you drool right there on your keyboard!


So delish!

& for a tad more sweetness to ensure that you are good & saturated....

Ye be a warned.

So I'm sending this out WELL in advance so there are no excuses for not celebrating National Talk Like a Pirate day this Saturday & every September 19th!


Today's site will help you landlobbers get ye heads on straight. Its...

PIRATE LAWS!!!

Enjoy, or you WILL be sent to Davy Jones locker for a LOOOOONG time out.

Happily ever after?

I came across these photos by Dina Goldstein & they have struck a cord.

Maybe there was a certain darkness behind those dreams. The smiles hid the unhappiness that sometimes reality brings.


Like how in modern times Belle would have to take some drastic measures to stay the Beauty.

Anyway today I give you a new look at the fairy tales. The Fallen Princesses collection.

Store it at Jones

This website never fails to crack me up. I came across the viral commercials a while back & we all laughed. Several months later a friend emailed me one.... still I laughed.

Even today he makes me giggle into laughter.

I don't know why its so funny. Maybe its the delivery, the honesty or just the sheer rawness of the marketing campaign & business plan.

You check it out. Got anything you need to store?


BE SURE TO WATCH HIS COMMERCIALS.. & there are a few by now!

Cats with wings? Watch out birds!

Animals. Weird stuff.

What more do I need to say.

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosities.

Go ahead find the Chupacabra. & tell that African Grey to put the cig down!

Give 'em a Freak Show

So I'm not a fan of the mega big box. It's smiley faced logo is just creepy to me. I hate the poor ethics that I have found associated with the chain & frankly I NEVER have a good experience there. Doesn't matter what town or location, it always seems like a certain side of human nature comes out there that otherwise is not present. Well I'm not the only one who thinks that the place can be a bit of a freak show. I just don't know how someone stuck around long enough to create this site & have to wonder how long they will be allowed to be up before getting sued?

So step right up, see the freaks that are your neighbors, your fellow americans, and hopefully no one you know!

I give you the PEOPLE OF WALMART! Enter if you dare....

Pumpkin Spice Lattes, I want a lottay! mmmm.

So fall is upon us. I know this since I had my first of what I hope is many, many, many of Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

Basically it was like this...


I waited to get in my car before I could taste it. Every time it got close to my mouth I inhaled the divine scent and about passed out I was in such bliss. MMMM. LOVE IT!

What is it about this decadent drink. I take mine as a grande, with soy milk and real whipped cream. Perfection.

Every year my parents take at least one trek to the mountains to see the leaves on the mountains. While I remember these trips as a child, it was more about "yeah, its more colored leaves, whopidy do. Nooooooow why aren't we moving?" I tended to finish a good book while we waited in traffic. So I haven't been on one of these trip in a long time. Maybe I should since I know as an adult it would be different now that I can appreciate the miracle.

So today's site is a virtual trek to the mountains I spent several moments of my childhood in, the Great Smokies. It really is a beautiful place & I have been back, just not during leaf turning season.


& to think I wondered why they were called the Great Smoky Mountains? Just takes looking at them one time in the morning light to see why. <3

Nothing taste better than health!

So with listening to all the debate regarding health care and watching my uncle lose his health, it has really been inspiring me to WANT to do more to ensure that I am healthy for as long as I can be. Seems that finding ways to ward off & fight the obesity epidemic which cost the health care system, would be part of the debate but I have yet to hear that part. Til the Feds figure out that connection with the rising cost its up to us to do what we can.

So I want to get back into working out regularly & changing my eating habits. Also I find it raises my spirits to learn to cook a great new meal! Can be a fun event for the night that only cost what you let it with the ingredients!

Last night I made the most delicious meal and had plenty of left overs for today & tonight & maybe tomorrow's lunch as well! So even though the ingredients cost me upfront, it can end up to be a LOT cheaper than a few trips thru a drive through or dinner out AND most importantly healthier & TASTIER! :)

With the success of last night still in the fridge, I am on the hunt for the next great recipe to try.

One advantage of living alone is I can eat whatever I want & try whatever I want without trying to make sure someone else will also eat it. See.... I can be Pollyanna positive about eating alone at home each night!~ ;)

Today's website is CookingLight.com. Where I have found the next recipe to try, I think. I will keep it to myself since I am hoping to post more about it later. I'm ignoring the survey where they say women put staying hydrated as a priority over sex! But there is TONS of great information to be found at this site.

So get in touch with your inner foodie. Take a chance on something new, hopefully healthy, & you just might find yourself loving it! and if you really love it, share it with me!

Confession.

Hi. My name is Ali and I am addicted... to Craigslist ads.

Not posting them. Not responding to them. Not even looking for something to purchase.

Just reading them & LAUGHING MY ARSE OFF! (yeah I know LMAO would have been shorter, but I wanted to clearly state just how funny I find the things posted, locally or all over the world.)

Frankly I know I am not alone in my guilty pleasure. There are many more lurkers out there who read & just shake their heads.

Then again there are a few who blog about the insanity. I adore the like minded at times.

You Suck at Craigslist, or YSaC, takes a look at the ads that might not exactly have chosen the best way to get their ideas across. Those ads that you have to read twice just to be sure you read it the way it was actually written. Oh & love that!

This is just out of control now...

So I have seen the bacon chocolate bar & even though I don't eat pork, I get where the salty sweet thing might work. Heard its a great chocolaty treat.

I have even heard rumors of bacon ice cream. Could be the same salty sweet thing.

This site however just is beyond my limits & ventures into WTF territory!

Seriously? Bacon Vodka? Wow, you would have to be drunk to try it!

To catch a star

Well today's site is a gold mine!

LOTS AND LOTS of games to keep you occupied.

I give you.... ORISINAL!

Hint: Check out the super cute star catching game. Adorable!

So that's why the economy is blown!

So today I listened to a podcast discussing how most paper money in America has traces of cocaine on it. (no wonder the world is all wacky!) I had to wonder if there was much truth REALLY to the claims they were making. So I checked it out on Snopes.com! Great site to check out those rumors & urban myths. Sadly its true!

So what I am really wondering is how my bird is doing home alone right now. I got ready looking like a pirate this morning with a green parrot on my shoulder! He/she is just too sweet! I'm smitten to the core with Binx!!







Who wouldn't be? ;)

BirdBreath

Last night was one of those special nights like no other. I got to bring Binx home!!!



Binx is a rescued Peach Fronted Conure, formerly known as Peaches. Seem like too common a name for this beauty, so new life, new name. Plus I'm not big on naming pets after food!


The link for today is Bird Breath. There you can find a bunch of funny cartoons starring birds! Enjoy!
