Inchies & Fabric ATC's

Hey! Does anyone want to do some inchies trading with me?! I really want to make some but I need a reason! Let me know if you do! I am also going to start on some fabric trading cards soon too.... maybe I will do a trade here... I think I will make some & see what happens after I post the pics! Ok going to read & sleep.... Nite y'all! Heather!!

I belong!!!!

Hi!! Guess what!?! I belong to a new group! I am pretty excited to try out some of their trades! The new group is The Embellished Circus. The name caught my eye! Anyway, more for me to post... I know, I know.... when I do actually post! I am taking some more pics in the a.m. so I can show some more stuff! Amber Dawn left me a message & I was so excited! I had someone checking out my blog! It's always fun to get a message from her because I know she is one BUSY girl! I am currently working on like 3 of her charm swaps... & she has more than that going! Amazing......! I strongly encourage everyone to check out her site... it's in my site's on the side! I am going to a baby shower on Sunday... You don't get it... I don't do showers. I didn't even do my best friends bachelorette shower thing.. granted that was because I burned the skin off of my face trying to hard boil an egg in the microwave, that's all I am going to say about that!, but I still don't know if I really would've made it! I'm thinking about that now... how did we, at 18 years of age, get into bars? That's where we would've went that night... CRAZY! I really like babies though. I liked looking in the baby section for the little clothes & shoes. I will show you a pic of what I got .... in the a.m. I am also making a charm after the baby is born. Anyway, I am leaving if they play the "Guess the Melted Candy Bar in the Diaper" game. With all of Sheridan's issues lately... I am NOT up for that game! :) So, please, please, wish me many 'get thru the shower' wishes. I will get them & feel so much better!! Ok, so see ya in the a.m!! Heather!!

Time to read..

Hey there!! What has everybody been doing lately... Kinda quiet out there in blogland! The Ronald McDonald House remains the same! I just don't know what we would have done without this place while Sheridan has been sick. So, my deck around the Little Star Farm Shack is almost done!! It is going to be so cute! The horse fence will be started soon! YAY!! Bigger field for them this winter! I ran over my dog with the quad.... he jumped right back up & started running along side me again. I had a heart attack. I don't know what I would do without my old Blue Dog. Having two places to live at is hard! Regular chores at home (on the farm) & communal chores & living here in Seattle at the Ronald House. All of the art stuff I am using right now is here in Seattle so when I go home to the farm I feel like I am missing something. Don't take your space for granted girls!!! Anyway, I am happy to say I finished my fabric charms! I have started on some cool asian themed charms now! I am also working on these cool little pocket fairies! I really like making them!! They are sooooo fun! I will only get more ideas to make them funky & whimsy!! Isn't that a great word.....whimsy! Everybody uses it now too! I have also almost finished my little bottle charms!! They are TINY! I have to think of some cool packaging for them! They HAVE to have something to do with stars tho. I am going to size my pics & try to get some on here!! Does anyone want to trade paper dolls or pocket fairies? I am also going to try to fit some inchies in sometime soon!! Those are so cute! What do you do with your inchies? I want to make some but I don't just want a bag of these little art treasures hanging around doing nothing! I am going to suggest a book for you to read in your spare time.... it was ..... different. It is by Wally Lamb. The title is "She's Come Undone". It was on the NY Times best sellers & Oprahs Book Club. I finished it & thought I like how the author writes his stories. Anyway, let me know what you are creating! I am excited to see!! Heather!!

Stuff.....

Hey there!! Well, the kids swap went good....thanks to all the kids that took a minute out of their summer to join!! Alot of artistic kids out there!! I have also recieved my ICE charms!! I really had a good time making charms for these swaps! My charms I recieved back are great!! Amber Dawn really puts alot of effort & time into swapping the charms!! I have had very little time lately... I really can't wait for winter!! More time to spend indoors & create! Well, I am going to go pick up my daughter dialysis right now *yes, we are STILL at the hospital & we have no idea how much longer...... almost 8 months. Trying to keep it together. Talk to you soon!

KIDS ATC SWAP!!!!

Hi!! OMG!!! It has been SOOOOOO long! My bad. Bad blogsite owner... Anyway, I have decided to do a kids ATC swap! It will be 5 cards for 5 cards back! I'm not going to do a pre picked theme because I want to see what you kids are interested in!!! So, here's the deal on what to do!!! An ATC is actually an Altered Trading Card. They are two and a half inches by three and a half inches. You can make them on paper, plastic, wood, cloth, ANYTHING that is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches!! You can ONLY trade these cards & they are not to be sold!! The cards need to have your name, e-mail address, and your age on the back of them!! And PLEASE if you have any other info about you or your card you want to share, put it on the back too!!!! That is part of the art too!!! So kids, pick a theme for 5 cards that reflect YOU & create some cool art that will be the beginning of your ATC collection!! Who knows, maybe you will get other kids who want to trade more!! So, spread the word to your friends & lets make this a good one!! Please try to do your BESTEST art work too because you WILL want to trade more & you want people to trade with you!! This part is for your adult to read so go get them!....... O.k. when the cards are ready put them between some thin cardboard or someting so the awesome art doesn't get bent up!!!Send them to: Heather Kayser 5130 40th Ave. NE #383 Seattle, Wa 98105 . You will need to also include a self addressed envelope so I can mail your cards back to you!! Don't forget to put a couple of stamps on your envelope too!! These need to be in my hot little hands by July 3rd!!! That's 2 weeks!!! I am so excited to see what you make!! Have fun!! Heather!!!

Quirks or no quirks try to love me anyway!!

Well, I am excited to leave some posts on some blogs that I check out quite alot but never seem to leave a note!! I picked my tagged sites with alot of consideration! I like how you write in your blogs, what you write about, the names of your blogs, the colors & the ideas, pictures & creative intrests!! I am quite new to this blog thing but really enjoy your sites!! So, I hope you read this & pass it along too! I am going to be checking for your quirks too!! Here are the rules to tagged... Each player starts with 7 random quirks, facts, habits, tidbits, etc. about themselves! If you are tagged you need to write on your own blog about your 7 things!! For the rest of us to read!! :) At the end of tour blog choose 7 people to get tagged & list them on your site! Don't forget to leave a comment on their site telling them they have been tagged & to read your blog!! It's a great way to network & meet other artist & bloggers with the same things going on as you!! So, here are the 7 things I chose to share about myself that I would have never thought to tell in the first place!!!
1. I will ONLY wear fruit flavored scents, perfumes, lotions, or oils. My absolute favorite to get these scents hand made to the strengh of smell I like is Archibald Sisters in Olympia, Wa. Very cool shop!! I have been called a fruit salad ALOT!
2. I can ONLY walk on the right side of people. When people find this out they try & trick me by trying to walk on my left side. I literally cannot walk if they are on my left side. Sometimes I don't get anywhere.
3. I like mustard in my top ramen. Gross, I know, but which is worse eating it plain or with mustard? Both, so it doesn't matter!! (My friend Mel got that started in high school!!)
4. I get carsick driving. Another reason I don't get anywhere!
5. My favorite television channel is E! network. I cannot get enough of all the celebrity gossip stuff!! Suzi Finer, I am sooo jealous about the Britney Spears visit!! (I am also addicted to reality t.v.)
6. Tomatoes & tomato based foods make the palms of my hands & the bottom of my feet itch. I like tomatoes but they really have to be worth it to eat it!!
7. I will only get tattoos that have stars in them somehow or someway. And my favorite colors for those big, bad tattooed stars??? Pinks, blues, purples, yellows etc... NO primary colors!! Very girlie!!
So, nothing shocking but things about myself that my best friend might not even know! I am going to be checking your sites so hope to see that you have something to share with the rest of us!! Here are my peoples I tagged!! Check out their sites!!

Thanks you guys!! Have fun!!!

I was tagged!

I was tagged by my ICE charm swap host!! She put me in with 7 other EXTREMELY talented people! I feel as if I am out of my league!! So, I am thinking of my 7 quirky things & also of my 7 blogs to pass this on too! I am having alot of fun reading these quirky things about others!! I was laughing out loud about the marriage thing Amber!! I have finished my pink cards & need to add my photos but I think I will do that when I add my 7! My charms for the ICE swap are almost done! My fingers will be raw from sanding by the time I am done!! Sheridan is bored here at the Ronald McDonald house & I am always off in a 100 different directions so she has a whirlwind around her all the time! I need to take new photos of my work area here! All of my art stuff is stored in pink puke buckets!! Never been used of course, but funny none the less! I haven't updated on the Little Star Farm yet so here goes! All of my chickens, that I had bought for my favorite little red head, Sa-rah, were eaten by hawks or some pesky raccoon EXCEPT 1!! This 1 hen, I call her Henny Penny, has decided that my 100 lb. australian shepard, Blue Dog, & Sheridan's red heeler, Apple, are her new roommates! Every morning Stan goes to feed the dogs & out of the either of the dog houses comes Henny Penny! Pretty smart because she knows the bad guys won't come to get her around the dogs! She has also decided dog food is alot tastier than chicken food & won't eat the chicken food anymore! She is really tame & lets people pet her too! Soooo funny! She plays with Apple by letting her chase her & then hunkering down so Apple can ruffle her feathers & then off they go again! Anyway, it's crazy on the farm & I hope this made you laugh! I am going to get some photos real soon & make a trading card book of funny animals on the Little Star Farm! If anyone else wants to do trading on the same subject let me know!! I think it would be fun to have a story go along with the trading cards! Well, I am going to finish my 7 quirks & my 7 blogs so I can update this & tag them!! See you soon!! Heather!!
