I was playing around and somehow got
this............

 

More stamps on display 

I made these a while ago. One is
hanging at Red Lead as it was a
thank you gift for Sharon and Chris. 

friends atc..... did I post this before. It slips my mind. 

Some of my favorite stamps are on
display just so that I can see them everytime
I come into the room.

 

Another wall hangy thing....... 

I have these little shrines all over my walls. I have some
of my favorite atcs I have received and made hanging on
here. There are other things like pictures and cards.

This is one of three there I have around my art room.

Do you see your art on here?????? 

It's been kind of dead around here. My scanner is not working correctly not because I messed up the thing, but because my husband did some changes and now our scanner is not working and our printer is not printing........... So who knows..........

I have all these things I have been working on and I can't show ya because of the above......

I think I might have a job. I will find out tomorrow.........I am really down in the dumps about it because I don't know if this is the right one.... Why can't things just be easy is that tooooo much to ask?????????? One things for sure if I take this job my brain will be frying for the next couple months...... LOTS to learn...........

I don't know. I am just confused or maybe I am just making it difficult for myself over analyzing and over worrying about my kids............. Calgon take me away.

Job Update

Well, the online application/test came and went yesterday and I got my denial letter today. It said that I am not competitive enough and they would consider me again in 12 months. Hopefully, in a year from now I will be working somewhere else. I guess it's time to move on from my previous employer and look for something else out there. I just gotta remind myself that there are A lot more companies out there.

Out of yesterdays meeting though I did get a call from an Insurance agent that is married to my ex-boss so maybe something will come out of this. I will have to see. Plus, today I applied for another job at CITI so maybe something will come out of that. I will just keep praying for the right job to come along. Yesterdays job was just not meant to be.....

Back to the JOB drawing board........................

Take care and have a great day.

I love this picture, but the original is very faint so I played around with the colors and this is what came up. At least now you can really see her.

Love this cutie

Hearts atc...........

Memories

I don't know about you, but I am filled with stories. When I lived in Chicago before I got married I used to date a guy for about six years. This story is not about him, it's about a homeless person. My ex used to live on the northside of Chicago. On the weekends I would drive over to his house it was a 45 minute drive through those crazy car packed streets.

On my drive every weekend I always noticed this person. I think he/she was homeless because I always saw this person in the same spot. They made their home in an opening of a store building....... They were dressed in black and he/she always had their coat hood over their face so you could never see it. All you saw was a figure standing straight with his/her hands to the side and the face always covered. In a way it was scary because it was a stiff figure just standing there and you could never see the face...........

I must have seen this person for a couple of weeks always standing in the same spot. I don't know why this caught my attention and every weekend that I would drive through this area I would always look for this person.

I WISH I could have stopped and offered some food or maybe just have left a bag a groceries near him/her. Of course, I did not have the nerve. You never know how the person will react. Sometimes I wonder what happened to this person. This person will never know what impression it left on my life. THIS person will never know that every weekend when I took that long drive I used to look for him/her.

I WISH I would have been brave enough to do a good deed. I often wonder if it was an angel that no one else could see but me......... I should have stopped. I should of lent a hand, but I didn't.........

Sometimes little things are seen or said and YOU never know how it will impact a life.........

Job Update

Okay, I got a call a few days ago from my previous employer and I will be going in this coming Tuesday to fill out an online application and I am not sure what happens after that. I guess they will talk to me about job openings they may have. So I have been a little nerve wrecked recently trying to remember how to dress for an interview. It has been a while since I last interviewed. I will keep ya posted. It has been a hard decision to make, but I am ready to join the workforce again..................

CHICAGO

you hold my heart forever.

This is one of the reasons I gained 15 pounds. I enjoyed making and eating them.

My little guy drew this picture of me. Doesn't it look just like me..............

BE U pocket doll atc

OHHHHHHH BECKY!!!!......... See this is my pocket doll atc. Torso only.......

BE U

or maybe

this atc. I really don't know about the white tag...... What do you think keep it or loose it?

simple but hes cute right?????? I am playing around trying to figure out my v-day atcs.................

January

Wow the Holidays flew I think and it's already January 6, 2006...... I am looking forward to going to Red leads demo tomorrow. I have been in a creative mood lately, but don't know if my creative fairy has been visiting. Why does she only come once a week instead of everyday all day??????

I have been cleaning my little room where I create.... Why does it seem that I am always doing that..... I start a project and then I make a mess all over again...........

I decided to go back on the south beach diet again to Start from Scratch.......... I went on it I think two and 1/2 years ago has it been that long. I weighed myself yesterday and I have gained 15 pounds back since my last weigh in a couple months ago. Sorry, but I love to eat especially good food like sweets and bread and sweets and bread.......... I have been good, but I have been a little bad as well...... So hopefully I will loose those pounds in two weeks. I already warned my husband that I will be crabby since I won't be able to eat my one slice of wheat toast with cream cheese and sugar free strawberry jelly.......... Gosh if there was one wish I could have it would be to never gain weight.............. So here I go again trying to go down instead of up.......

Okay, I can blah blah blah all day, but I gotta run. I am always running doing something. So have a good one and create, create, create.

Love,

ME
:)

Job Update

NO job yet, but I just posted for another job and I also heard through the grape vine that my previous employer is hiring in the department I used to work at so I will be calling them as soon as the New Year holiday is over. Pros- if hired back, I get my senority, vacation and I probably would make what I was making before I left......... Cons it's not close to home. Okay, it's not that far either, but with all the new business here in O'Fallon why travel right??????

Okay gotta run................. Breakfast is coming and I need to run up and fix the kitchen table..........

Will write more later..........

just me

I did a scary thing today

Okay, I finished my resume and I posted for a job at CITI. It's a big office building over here in O'Fallon dealing with banking. I also posted it on Monster.com. I am ready, but at the same time I am not. I can't believe that I am finally going back to the work force. I knew one day I would be returning, but I did not think it would be this soon.................

Hopefully, my resume looked at least decent. Have not had to type one up in many, many years......... Wish me luck pls. Pls pray that I get the right job for my family and I..........

Just Me

Moms gift

A ME story of my Christmas past

I wanted to share a real short story of a Christmas memory I have. It's really not because I remember it, but it's a memory I know because of an old picture my mom has. When I was little my parents lived in a two story apartment building that my aunt and dad owned back on the southside of Chicago on Loomis street....

It was a nice apartment. I guess just right for a young family with two young children. My mom and dad loved taking pictures and one of the pictures that I want to talk about is a CHRISTMAS picture that has always stuck in my mind.

I was all dressed up in a long flowy dress with my hair pulled up in a pony tail. My mother loved having my hair always combed and pretty. Hey, maybe that is the reason why I don't brush my hair anymore....... Okay, back to my story.....

This picture was taken in front of a Christmas tree that my brother and I, I am sure, truly thought was beautiful......... Well, at least that is how I believe my eyes saw it back then. This tree was not really a tree it was a BIG tree branch without any leaves that my parents cut from who knows where......... I am not sure if my parents did not have alot of money back then but to a child that did not matter........ I did not know the difference and I can tell by the smile on my face in the picture.........

I just wanted to share this memory with you because it's something that I always remember during the holidays. When you are a child the things that matter so much now don't matter then and as a child we are much more freer to believe and imagine.......................

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

and to all a Happy Holiday as well.............. I will be leaving soon to spend Christmas quality time with our families in Chicago. I wanted to make sure that before I left I did not forget to wish each and every one of YOU a very happy Holiday/Christmas/Kwanza/Hanukah..........................

I really did not want to go to Chicago this Christmas. I wanted to spend it here in my with my little family, but my husband convinced me and said that Christmas with our parents are running out......... Sorry, don't want to be to gloomy, but they are getting older, as we all are, and I don't want to have any regrets that because of my pride I did not get to spend this special time with them..............

So before I leave this weekend just wanted to WISH YOU ALL a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and many blessings to you and yours and that the new year 2006 bring you everything that YOU have dreamed of..................

Sincerely,

Just ME

Star Beauty atc...............................

Thanks MARY

Mary I have to thank you for a wonderful time I had out at OLD ST. CHARLES tonight. I always enjoy meeting with you to have a nice girlfriend night out. The roast and potatoes were great and the COOKIES to die for. I swear I already ate four of them and my belly is kind of hurting a little from all the chocolate I had tonight.......

You are a great friend and I thank you for always thinking of me every year and getting together with me to do our ritual walk up and down those beautifuly decorated streets.............

I swear that we always pick good nights to go out there and have fun.........

I think what I enjoy most of all though is your company.................. Your a good friend and I will go with you to St. Charles any time even when we are old and gray like those cute little old ladies we saw with their walkers and their CHEERFUL Santa hats...........

P.S. I forgot the SAYING..........................

LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS

another little picture

IS she CUTE or what?????

This is one of my cute little nieces from Chicago....... She kept a watchful eye on me while she was eating.........

My young sweetHEART..........

Alright now

Sorry, I was not trying to be funny by adding all these pictures. I am having a little bit of a problem adding pictures to my blog....... Yikes................

Here they are

OKAY, OKAY I am totally EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday, as I was browsing through my daily BLOG list, I ran into DENISE's BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS CARDS. WOW!!!!!! they are great and simple, but very artsy and I love them.

I was not going to make Christmas cards this year. NOT in the mood I guess. That is not my usual because I love Christmas and somewhere in my little space I have tons of paper and stamps that I could easily whip out at least simple cards to send this season. Don't know I was not inspired at all this year, but then all of a sudden BAM after seeing Denises something hit me. I sat on my floor and just began to make them one after another after another.............. I love them. They came out just right................

THANKS Denise for the inpiration. I will post them later today so check back if you would like. Maybe, I can inspire YOU a little......................

Simple and just right THAT'S A GOOD THING..................................... sorry don't mean to Martha Stewarty....

New Scrapbook Convention coming to ST. Louis

I read in a magazine that there will be a CK scrapbook convention coming to our town in April...............

I don't scrapbook, but I love the paper and embelishments that I incorporate into my cards or other stuff I make.

Can't wait.............................

I think the dates were somewhere around the 5th and 6th of April 06.

I am FINISHED

I am finished with MY project piece I will be sending in to STampingtON for their call for art for the HOME........

Wish me luck. I actually have something else in mind and hopefully will start working on it soon so that I can mail that as well.

I am really excited about it. I usually do not send any of my stuff out to magazines, but I thought what the HECK right??????? My usual is to make something and if I really like it I keep it. I become attached...........

You will also notice that I keep changing my blog name. Actually, I think BE TRUE BE U is the one I will keep. Why? because lately, around me, it seems that I have been running into that phrase dealing with people.

so BE TRUE BE U is always the best way to go I think.................

JOB or JOBLESS???????

Okay, so since this is my blog/journal and I really need to get this out on paper or at least here I will share my decision well really it's not a decision I would like to make, but it's something that I need to do.

It's time for me to go back to work. It's been 4 years since I left my job at the Farm, State Farm that is, and the plan was for me to be off just for one year and as you all know time flies when you are having fun right...... well, the one year turned into four.

This is the big reason why I have been a little down in the dumps lately and have not really been in the mood of anything because this decision has been on my mind for a while. I knew this was coming because of little hints from my hubby here and there. Don't get me wrong I do want to go back to work, but the worry is my kids.

My four year old is so attached and I to him.......... I don't know if I can do it really, but I have come to the decision that starting Jan. I will start looking. I am going this Friday to check out day cares and maybe I will bring him along to pep him up a little about it....... Wow I feel a little bit better and maybe on Friday when I go check out the daycares by my house I will feel better about the decision.......

So wish me luck and hopefully this will work out for all of us here at the T household.

okay don't laugh......... I don't think I will be turning this in to RL, but I guess I was trying to hard to get this done and then the pen was there and I thought let me just mess it up more so this is what came out. Oh WHERE OH WHERE IS MY ATC FAIRY MUSE OH WHERE OH WHERE CAN SHE BEEEEEEE.............. I need some inspiration

Here is the info for the Call for Art in the Legacy Magazine

Thanksgiving came and went and I swear that I gained 10 pounds........ I had to taste test all the desserts that were brought over to my mom's house so yes it's my fault nobody else's.

I know that I am behind on my postings, but I really have not been in a blogging mood. Actually, I was busy making Christmas ATC ornaments for the ladies that wanted to trade. The ones I have already received are hanging on my CHRISTMAS tree for all to see. Well, nobody really comes over so it's just me admiring them when I pass by. Thanks to all who traded.................xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Did you all know that there is a call for art in the LEGACY magazine. I think it said that they are looking for anything to do with home accessories like pillows, candles, candle holders, wall hanging thingies etc........ They will be publishing a new book like the TRANSPARENCY book I guess...... All artwork due by FEB 16, 06.

I went to the Saturday Monday sale yesterday and I really would love to be rich to have been able to buy something from everyone....... Everyone's art was BEAUTIFUL. I have been trying to be good so I did not purchase what I really wanted to so I bought a few little things to make me happy.... I know something from everybodys booth would make me very happy but realistically I had to be good. YUK.......... I wanted to be bad......

Okay, I promise that soon I will post something. I have been making a few things and I am now thinking of my Valentine atc maybe I will post it so don't laugh. I think my atc fairy muse was not visiting, but I will post it so that you can get a good laugh...........

Have a good week.

Just Me

Have a very BLESSED THANKSGIVING

Wanted to wish all of you a very happy and blessed THANKSGIVING........................ Hope you all eat tons of TURKEY, HAM, rice, potato salad, mashed potatoes, gravy, and everything you all eat that I am missing on the food list. DESSERT how can I forget that........................

I will be leaving out of town tomorrow to spend some quality time with my parents, brothers, nieces, nephews, friends back in CHICAGO. See you all back on SUNDAY.........

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY.................

Love,

JUST ME

This entry in my blog is long overdue

I am human and as like a few of us out there I have my good days and sometimes very bad days. I am a sensitive person and like DENISE said yesterday sometimes little happenings that don't bother other people for me as a sensitive person these little happenings are BIG......................................

I don't enjoy being TOOO sensitive, but I have finally accepted that that is how GOD made me. Maybe, as I get older I will change or maybe not, but I need to start accepting myself for me GOOD OR BAD................

When I am down in the dumps the only person that is always there for me and always has been is GOD. I am taking this entry post to THANK HIM FOR EVERYTHING. He is my rock when I am so in the hole. He is there when my parents don't even want to be.................... HE is there when I am sick, happy, lonely and when I am having my overly sensitive times. HE LOVES me for who I am and also the great thing about him is that he UNDERSTANDS me when I feel that nobody else does................

I am truly blessed in many ways and HE is the one that I have to thank............ HE BELIEVES IN ME UNCONDITIONALLY and when I fall and make terrible mistakes HE still loves me.............

THANK YOU GOD and I truly LOVE YOU for you are there for me eternally..........................

SINCERELY,

JUST ME

Christmas is everywhere. Don't know if you have noticed, but everywhere you go there are little signs of it fast approaching.

I am not complaining I love CHRISTMAS and I was thinking this morning should I put my Christmas tree down stairs in our family room or upstairs near the fireplace......... We would enjoy it more downstairs, but maybe I should stay with the usual tradition of the upstairs family room................

All these decisions. I don't know what's stopping me, but I would like to start decorating...... Putting out all my little santa clauses and mini christmas trees that I have collected over the years.............. I am ready to sprinkle fake snow all over my decorated tables..................... I need to stop dreaming........

Well, gotta go my 4 year old beckons.................. gotta run............

You know how those original krispy kreme donuts are very messy but very yummy right??????

We went to church to thank GOD for everything he gives us everyday and I am truly grateful.

Plus, I got tagged by DENISE L. on a few questions that I really need to give a little thought to before I answer.

Yesterdays ADVENTURE

My son and I decided to take a little ride over to OLD ST. Charles to walk along the river. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL day a little chilly, but bright and sunny and lots of fallen LEAVES.

Instead of walking by the river we walked on the train tracks. I don't know but I think my son may be a reincarnated train engineer. HE LOVES trains don't know why, but I guess he doesn't understand why I love what I love.

WE had a great time jumping and walking through all those beautiful crunchy dried leaves in colors of yellow, brown, red, orange. It was fun. I let myself go a little and pretended I was four again.

I then became mommy and we walked by all those little shops down there. I love that area. Love the homes, the great little shops all dressed up inside ready for CHRISTMAS................. I need to make a few friend and I dates to go visit the little shops. I was not able to do any looking yesterday because as soon as I said let's go in to the store my 4 yr old decided he had a headache. THE HEADACHE excuse I guess I don't blame him. It's more fun walking and rummbling through those leaves...........

SENDING A SHOUT OUT

to my southside posse over there on TORRENCE. (sorry that is the only main street that I remember the name to by you guys) YIKES.........

SHOUT OUT TO IRENE and DAVID and my two CUTEY nieces.............................................

VIVA LOS WHITE SOXs

VIVA LA REVOLUCION

VIVA my mother-in-laws FRIJOLES and the menudo from the corner store yummy (can you tell that we are in major WANT of MEXICAN food as I don't cook that alot over here en suburbia)

SEEEE YAAAA soon and I will try to find that PUJOLS? poster for you DAVID are you turning on the cubbys???

SEE YA in a few,

Love

Angie

Feeling terrible in my little world

I had to do something that I really did not want to do, but it was for the best of all. I gave my cute little SUSHI away to a Chihuahua rescue here in M.O.

I feel like ---- about it. I feel like I failed him. How could I do this to my little dog I just wanted the best for him and I think our home was not the best at this time.

He was really a good doggie when my 4 yr old was not around and when my other dog was not around. It also was not fair to our other dog TOBIE because it seems that SUSHI came and took over. Took over his food plate, took over our family room, just took over and TOBIE being a very passive dog did not do anything to stand his ground.

I am sorry SUSHI I hope that I did not let you down and that you will be much happier with your new home. I know KIM will take good care of you.

Love, MOM

HEY KELLEY.........

YOU LOOKED GREAT IN YOUR VERY PRETTY DRESS.............

I hope you had a great time at your dance................... I remember those days, gosh it's been a while, but these times will stay with you forever........................

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS..............and stay sweet

Angelica

Changed my mind or should I say

changed my Christmas atcs. I am very happy that I finished my Christmas atcs today.......... I went to RL yesterday and bought all this great CHRISTMAS paper that I had to use instead.................

So today while washing, and sweeping and vaccuming somehow I got all ten atcs made and I think they came out nice......... five are the same, but the other 5 are a tad different............

if I have a chance I will post it tomorrow or the next.............

I might just pass by RED LEAD and turn them in already.

OH JLO!!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME????

Jennifer,

Well, after receiving your call yesterday and getting me in the mood to make something I made you your shadow box collage and it will be on it's way as soon as I make sure it's perfectly finished....

I won't post a picture because I don't want to give it away so if you are reading this pls look for it's arrival by
next week.

Hope you like it and pls don't show it around to much okay. It's for U

So what do you think???

This is a Christmas atc I made today. Not sure about it..... Love the little girl picture, but I am not sure about the colors????

I am in a CHRISTMASY mood so I think I am about to start my Christmas atcs for RL even though I still have not turned in my fall atcs yet.......... I need to get that done..............
