R U a deviant




People beware - there's a lot of us running amok out there..............
I am guilty on all counts!

At least now I know how it all started - oh the neighbours all knowing I was always late is just
mortifying to me now, looking back!

AND. I. DON'T. LIKE. HELEN.
Too perfect for me - goody 2 shoes - even if she knows how to match her clothes

And by the way I'm notorious for interrupting people!

And if I had ever met that commentator I would have crapped my pants
in terror - that voice - that attitude - how did girls survive this?
Soooo scary - it sounds like one of those horror movies where
a perfectly sane person is being locked up - while this patronizing
voice is droning on in the background, lol.

We've come a long way, baby

But I am off to buy a nailbrush tomorrow. My nails really are a disgrace.
And like Barbara, it's far too late for tears now  

Oh and last night I was cleaning the kitchen and decided it was time to throw out a small cutting board I've had forever -  when I thought I'd just stencil it instead and see how it turned out - 



and this is how it turned out



I'm really loving my stencil - best one I've bought so far :)
Wouldn't this make a cute Hostess gift - with little jars of...............you guessed it - parsley, sage.................

Here's the stencil I purchased - it comes with 2 sheets - 1 for small and 1 for caps - aren't they great?
Think I paid 15.00 ( but really not sure, at a local craft store here in Montreal ) 





The sprig of Rosemary ( yeah that's what we'll call it, ok? ) was just free hand - I want to laugh out loud at that
because I can't even draw a stick man - but sprigs of something I'm ok with -

  3. Tears are flowing but not because it's TOO LATE FOR ME. I bet Helen went crazy one day and took off for Woodstock, where she hooked up with a bass player, had a couple of kids and worked in the music biz until she became a blogger. No wait, that's me! ~ Maureen

  17. Love your cutting board!! And perfect timing, because I need your help...
    I'm in the process of stencilling an old board I found in my husband's wood pile. Had to repaint & start over, I am having a devil of a time lining up the letters! How did you get them all so even (without an ugly pencil line)? And when I finish one letter, I have to wait for it to dry before I do the next one (putting the stencil on top will smudge the first one). This is taking forever...all for one measly little plaque. What is your tip on this?? HELP?? I have so many neat pieces of wood and cute sayings I want to paint for gifts, but the rate I'm going it will be Christmas 2014 before anyone gets them.
    Debbie :)
    (wondering...if I tape a piece of string for each line of lettering...)

Due to a large amount of spam ( that I'm tired of going back to posts and deleting ) I'll be using comment moderation from now on !!!
Can I beat these spammers at their own game? Probably not - but I'm going
to try my damnedest !!!
