PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so incredibly happy right now.

Check out Sarah Palin's debate speak vs what Bush said in *his* debates. IT'S THE SAME -- as in 4 more years of failure *wink*wink*

I was feeling like a bit of a slacker after reading odpeacock's update, so just to show you all that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, here is a post about my new craft space.... I just finished it last week.

And since I *am* feeling like a slacker, I will just link you to my post in creative_spaces

.: product update :.
Now that I have a designated work space, I am developing a new necklace idea. Maybe I'll have one ready in a week or so.

"....A reporter from ABC News this week told Dick Cheney, in regards to Iraq, "two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting." Cheney cut her off with a one word answer: "So?"

"So?" As in, "So what?" As in, "F*** you. I could care less."

I would like every American to see Cheney flip the virtual bird at the them, the American people. Click here and pass it around. Then ask yourself why we haven't risen up and thrown him and his puppet out of the White House....."


Total misuse of the soldiers who lay their lives down in our name.

Does anyone on here have Ian Mann's address?
He used to be a goth promoter & DJ in England and I've lost touch with him. He & Debz always send a Christmas card, but the envelope NEVER has a return address on it.

I want to send them a picture of my baby : )

I'm finally working on some new brooches and updating my site. I probably won't have the site up until next week, but thought I'd at least post some pix as I finish product. Here are 4 brooches that are finished; I have 6 more that are almost done.



Thanks to everyone who has inquired about the status of my site.
Stay tuned.... http://www.gloomygoods.com

George W. Bush is trying—yet again—to slash funding for NPR and PBS. This week, Bush proposed a new budget with devastating cuts to public broadcasting. "Sesame Street" and other ad-free kids' shows are under the knife. So is the independent journalism our country needs.

Let's put an end to the constant threats to NPR and PBS. Let's ask Congress to guarantee funding and stop partisan meddling. Clicking here will add your name to the petition:

For my son:
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
~ Albert Schweitzer


For my friends & family:
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
~ Buddha


Just because:
Turkey - A large bird whose flesh, when eaten on certain religious anniversaries has the peculiar property of attesting piety and gratitude. ~Ambrose Bierce
