A day in the life of Miz Carla

I added a photo blog

to my typepad account. I've been inspired to do some experimental digital photography, so if you are interested in that sort of thing you can check it out HERE or click on the link under the personal sites list (one the left).

Emotional Housecleaning

That's what I've been doing. I now feel recharged and ready for new things to take the place of the old.

In other more exciting news...look at my new  toy. The whole family got new bikes the other day... I think I'll call mine Casper.

Remember "Bicycle Race" by Queen? I've been singing it at the top of my lungs...

Bicycle bicycle bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle bicycle bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I like

You say black I say white
You say bark I say bite
You say shark I say hey man
Jaws was never my scene
And I don't like Star Wars
You say Rolls I say Royce
You say God give me a choice
You say Lord I say Christ
I don't believe in Peter Pan
Frankenstein or Superman
All I wanna do is

Bicycle bicycle bicycle

On the art front I've got the few swaps I signed up for completed and in the mail. First was a day of the dead dangly swap. I sat down to do them and wound up with pink--whatevuh!

and here are my charms for a wonderful charm bracelet swap! I can't wait to see the results of this one--it is going to be gorgeous!

I'm going to be giving away a little something next week...so stay tuned.

A virtual tour of my favorite flea market

These pictures are from  the Gathered Treasures flea market in Glenmora, LA. It is my absolute favorite. I love how all of the women have their booths decorated so shabby chic-ie. The last photo of the little girl is *so* spooky. Anytime we are in the flea market straightening up after hours she gives us all the creeps. My kids freak-out every time they pass by it (and so do I).

Hope you enjoyed the little tour

Our Trip

While on the Indian Nation Turnpike in Oklahoma I snapped a picture of something that has always inspired me and made me feel like GOD was close at hand. Everytime I see this I know I am getting closer to home. I wish I knew who had taken the time to spell the word JESUS out with big rocks on the side of that mountain. I'd like to give them a *hug* for making me smile each time I pass by it.

This is why you get lousy gas mileage in Oklahoma. Between the hills and the wind you may have to stop for fill-ups more often than you'd planned.

These are my gorgeous little sisters (they are going to kill me for posting this). It's funny how different we all are, yet so much alike at the same time. I'm grateful for the time we got to spend together, and wish we weren't so far apart so that we could do it more often. *I love you guys!!!*

Since we've been home the kids and I have been incredibly busy with school. I'm happy that both kids seemed to have matured quite a bit over the summer. Chloe is doing so much better this year than last, and JJ continues to amaze me by how quickly he gets things.

There has been nothing done on the art front (except buying stuff--does that count?) Hopefully, next week I can get in the art room and finish up my charms and Day of the Dead danglies. I bought a photo shop 'how-to' book while in OKC, and I'm hoping that'll help me figure the #[email protected]#$@ program out.

I'm off to do some laundry and tidying up around here.

Hope you are having a great weekend.

That's where I'll be over the weekend. Baby sis from Florida is here and in the morning we'll drive to our other sister's house and a fun reunion w/ all our crazy cousins.

Hope to find some cool stuff to snap pictures of.
