Various Thoughts That Popped Into My Head...



I was at http://www.beckersurf.com/ going through the cute little dresses on the site. There was this notice on some of the dresses featured:

“to help you select the proper size, we’ve supplied this information about the
model shown here: height-5’9" / weight-115lbs. / shirt size-small / pant-short
size 3 / swim small / rashguard-size 8 or small”

That means that for every inch in height, the model weighs 1.67 pounds. Think about it.

Plus…the image of the item is clear, but they have cut off the models head shots. Curious. Are the faces on the models horribly ugly so they don’t want to show them? Is it done to attract attention only to the clothes? If that is true, why not just use a dressmaker’s dummy, a mannequin, or a hanger?

While I was there, I purchased 3 cute little dresses. Plus…I want this one badly. It’s very pretty; but I think I like it more for the name…Paris in June! PS. They don't have it in my size-so I won't be able to get it.

You can really get a load of inspiration at beckersurf.com when you select the Gals page.

When I am designing, I get carried off in tangents. I have several things already designed that I could probably release. Then I see something that makes me think… “I could do better than that”…or “that would be kinda neat if I did it this way”…so I go looking around on the ‘net to find neat stuff and I get distracted. Lots distracted. Oh well, I’m having fun!

I think at the end of July, I will get my belly-button re-pierced. It has already been done twice and both times, the piercing worked its way out. Maybe I just have weird skin and it won’t work. But I do want to try again. Both times, the piercing was not very deep. Maybe I should do it myself! LOL!

Kelsey-There is a Hollister store that is going in directly across from Victoria’s Secret at the Valley Mall! (when we came out of VS, there was a enormous construction board about 20 feet tall…with a young man sans shirt. Ummm. I almost fainted. Gosh…they should put warnings on those things…

So much to do so little time… have to get arranged to go to Son 'O Beach…August 24-26. Tons of early Broncos on the Oregon beach. Fun.

Then have to get tickets for the December Seattle to UK Trip to see the kids.


Whenever I see two commercials on television, I yearn to try out the restaurants. They are driving me nuts. The restaurants are not in our area. Not even in an area that we could even go to on a trip. So why are they taunting me with their delicious pictures of beer, crabs, steak? Urg.

Note-Isabelle actually started playing on her own tonight. She dug through her toy box to find her bushing at the bottom of it. She enjoyed tossing it around, teasing us with it, and making us chase her. It lasted for all of 10 minutes. Then she was done playing. She has a very short attention play span.


Here are my latest Vintage Cards. Hope you like them.

I had to break them up into 2 different files as they were too large. Get them HERE and
