Here is my update, photos to follow...

Here is my update.
So my life has been crazy, going from a 45+ hr a week job, to a job that didnt fit my upcoming school schedule.
I am back with family, I am focusing on getting taxes, financial aid, and bankruptcy papers done.
Then the fun begins with quilting (several doll quilts, shorts, big quilts) to start. I have alot of fabric that needs organized and corralled into one area!
A sewing/art studio, where my mom and I can corrall our several sewing machines to be able to leave projects set up, to sew at our leasure and not have to store them back in a tight space.
Also finishing school. I am trying to get into an online class in mid March, depending all on financial aid.
I am also applying to several school districts to substitute parra, secretary or food service; to start my online classes a bit early.
Well all out there. I am working today watching a friend of the family's 7 month old, then off to organize and clean the studio, then maybe some sewing.
Have photos of 2 doll quilts and 2 toddler quilts that I helped my mom make for my niece and cousin's children. Princess/Animal/Monkey/Fairy Pink doll quilt, doll carrier pad/pillows for a red sock monkey. And the Blue Train/Airplane/Monkey/Animal doll quilt for a red sock monkey in a special carrier (9"x13") with mattress pad/pillows. Each have matching doll and toddler blankets.
More later!

http://www.mrspriceisright.blogspot.com/

So i was reading up on my FB page and Joy M. was talking about becoming a couponer......... well since i am so bored being snowed in, i decided to follow the link on the above (Betsy's Price is Right) blog about couponing.

On her recent trip to CVS:
"So, here's what how it all ended. The retail total was $38.63. We paid $4.63 which is a savings of 88%. I received $10 in ECB which means CVS paid me $5.37 for shopping there!" per Betsy's blog.

So who is into couponing?? Where are u finding the best coupons??

Missing college art classes

Professor Almond - miss talking with him about projects

So this is from Printmaking Class - This is a collaborative scroll from all students, we chose to do this instead of a final. Mine is "time" and a close up above. We were each given a word, random draw, and asked to come up with a screenprint. Color ink to be black on white paper. We were also suppost to be printing these on the sidewalks outside, but it was a bad weather day (thinking it was raining). I had mixed up the all-natural stain "ink" made from instant coffee to be used. But maybe when i have my own classroom or have alot of time on my hands in the future.

New Year to start a BLOG

Alright people, I love reading blogs from family, photography, art, quilting and dogs. So here is my life about my family, my photography, my art, my quilting and my dogs.

I will try to let each of the dogs introduce themselves and photos of them in a glamour session! Most of them love my camera, yes, I have 5 dogs!

Just an intro on my dogs:
Tito - Black and Tan Doxie (Weiner Dog) - 8 yrs - have had him since 7 wks old. First baby dog to have. Likes to beg, nap, boss around the other dogs and get dressed up.

Jezebel - Rottie mix - 5 yr old - (Fostered in Holton, KS - currently) have had her since she was 4 mo old - came from humane society - loves to play fetch, run, swim, go to the shawnee lake in topeka, dog park and dog trainings for 4-H.

Woody - chocolate dapple doxie - "stud dog" - have had since he was about 1 yr old - is 2.5 yrs now - came from students that had him with a small child - loves jumping on people, barking, running, female dogs (yes quite a ladies man), and his chewies.

Lucky Lucy - long hair red and blk doxie - miniature - smallest one - just over a year old - rescued from owners in topeka, had parvo, had her 2 hours before she went to spend over a week at the vet office for parvo. She likes to play fight with Tito, chew on chewies, run, be held, and is a fabulous "pocket pooch." She does tolerate being dressed, but if left alone in clothes, she will rip them up.

Life in Kansas is crazy. Recently moved back to Valley Falls, KS. Work at a food place in Meriden, KS. My "dogs" are my kids. I am planning to go back to college in 2011! Took fall 2010 off, the first semester EVER! So need to get financial aid straightened out to attend again!
