Need A Lift!

Y'all I have had the most AMAZING day!  Well, work was like totally over the top!  When will these people realize that I don't see emails at 8:00p.m. at night!  Frustrating!  LOL!  So, the day was off to a rocky start.  Then I received this email from my friend Kim.  I asked her if I could share and she said yes!....If you recall, I mentioned Tim was discontinuing the Hitch Posts I so love!  I had gone out to Tuesday Morning on vacation and purchased all they had!


 Here's Kim's email to me......


Ok, some days I really really hate you.   LOL.   Not for the peeing story... I have plenty of those (and it was funny BTW), but for the hitch fastener conversation you started a few days ago.  I have never had a desire to have a hitch fastener until you mentioned you wiped out Tuesday Morning.  Now I am obsessed and see what an awesome little item this is.  Why the heck is Tim discontinuing this?   Can you email him and tell him to stop it please, or not stop them as the case may be.  

So I have hit up the TM on Anderson Mill (none), and the TM on S. Lamar and scored 2 packs.  I will hit one or two more this afternoon on the way home... so be forewarned... I am on the roads and on a mission and I will beat you at your little game.  Bwahahahahaha  -- oh, was that out loud?   I have emailed my sisters in Montana, North Dakota and California to go look, and also a friend in Midland.  I will have hitch fasteners!



See, it happens!  Who knew we would be a bunch of wild eyed maniacs roaming up and down the freeway to get the things we need to make our projects perfect!


On another note...Fiona of Jennings644 Freestyle Crafts on YouTube and I had been emailing back and forth these past few days.  If you recall from my old blog, I had mentioned her videos and how she can make me laugh until I have to grab the Depends!  Just Sayin'!  She's amazingly talented, does like four videos a day and is truly the highlight of my whole YouTube experience.  Well, I had thought I had seen every one of her videos.  She emailed me today with one and I laughed SO hard.  If you need to take a break and get happy for a second, you gotta watch this.  Scroll to about 12 minutes in and start watching!  It is SOOOO something I would do!




Wasn't that hysterical!  If you get a chance check this sweet woman out at Jennings644 Freestyle Crafts!  I love her!


Speaking of Videos....I have done a 3 part video on the making of Carol's Caddy!  You may have seen it already if you subscribe to my YouTube Channel, If so never mind!  LOL!  Whether you purchased the pattern or not, I hope it helps!  I so appreciate everyone and their support with that!  




Well, I'm off to get busy!  Hope to have some new things up soon....It's the weekend!  It's bound to happen!!  


OH YEAH!!!!.... The Ladies Diary Roll Top Desk that I made for CHA for Graphic 45 will be posted on Graphic 45's blog on Monday!  They will be giving it away!  So I hope you check both of our blogs out for the details!  See Ya Soon!


Happy Weekend!

  12. If Kim has a sister in my state - Montana - have Kim's sister check Memory Lane scrapbooking store in Missoula, Montana for hitch fasteners! Debbie and Staci will ship them if they have any! Their number is (406)523-3957 (700 SW Higgins in Missoula). I have some hitch fasteners but I won't say how many packages! Good luck on your quest!

  15. Had to look up which one the hitch fastener was, and I'm very sad to see it's my lovely door knob (http://alisonbomber.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/only-you.html) - why do they always get rid of the good stuff? Off to check out Fiona's youtube channel, thanks for the tip!

  19. I am still laughing with Fiona. Your videos on Carol's Caddy where great Jim. Loved that you included the fact that it was the same base as the roll top desk you made for CHA. That was fabulous. Definitely be checking it out on Monday. Wouldn't that be wonderful to be the lucky one picked for that gem. You are just amazingly talented my friend!!!!!
