Himalayan What????

It’s SIMMER DOWN SUNDAY and I am not simmering. I am getting out an order for a wonderful family! Well technically I am not “working” and typing this. I wanted to share with you some pics I have that just make me smile! I know they are not craftyroos but they are funnyroos…Wait have you seen SPACE CHIMPS yet? SO FUNNY!!! I just had to tell you the story of my Himalayan Salt Lamps. First of all since Hawaii I have wanted one! Some of my dad’s friends had one and I fell in love! Since then I have been on a mission to get one! They are just REALLY expensive.. My cousin said she found one at T J Maxx weeks ago and I went strait there.. Outta luck. The lady said they only get them once a year and they go quick. I have been back EVERY day to check and nothing, nottah, NONE! I was so sad because my cousin said she paid around 13 bucks for them! WHAT! Until I found some yesterday! Three to be exact! I got all of them. Well actually I gave one away because this awesome couple by me needed one. They didn’t know they needed it until I told them {teehee}. They were so grateful and happy. If you ever read this {awesome couple} I hope you are enjoying it like I am!

Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamp This is a little knowledge on these babies! Because you NEED ONE!

Hand-excavated from 250 million-year-old sea beds at the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, Solay Himalayan Crystal Salt lamps cleanse the air naturally as houseplants do, while charging it with the healthy ions found in a saltwater breeze.

Computers and wireless devices create unhealthy electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Keeping a Crystal Salt lamp next to your computer helps counter EMF pollution organically, because these ancient crystals resonate at a frequency nearly identical to our bodies’. Seriously how awesome. They are really good for you! You can order them here unless your lucky and can snag one at the RIGHT moment at T.J. Maxx!

I just love this picture! It was at Madame Tussauds in New York. My dad thought it was SO funny! He said I looked like a real angry cab driver! Whatcha think? What you couldn’t see is half of the cab is off and placed against a wall! SO funny!

This picture is just amazing to me. AND I WANT THE WORLD TO SEE IT! So enjoy! The heart of New York! Times Square!

I hope everyone has a great Sunday! Remember to live your life and who CARES what anyone thinks! Remember HATERS don’t really hate you, they hate themselves because you are a reflection of what they wish to be…

Sending you lot’s of positive ion energy to conquer the day! Jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #44 Suede Doggie Coat

OH my LAWD! I finally saw breaking dawn today and lemme tell you it was SOOOOO good! I almost freaked out at the end when Bella’s eyes just popped open. I just am not sure how long I can handle waiting for the next part. Why do they do that? I mean the Titanic was like 3 hours long! Don’t get me wrong the Titanic was “it” back in the day! But in THIS day, we want to see blood sucking hot people! {{at-least I do}}

Guess I will have to wait another year for part 2…

Let’s start crafting! This crafteroo was so funny because I kept trying it on Ceaux Ceaux to make sure it was right! She HATED it. Every time I went near her she would try and grab it out of my hand and take off with it. Did I mention she is the fastest dog in the world? Check out her blog HERE and her you tube video HERE!!! I’m telling this baby girl is FUNNY!

Tools and Materials

1/3 yard of fabric (for a 20-pound dog)
Scissors
Erasable fabric marker
Four buttons
Needle and thread

I used some felt because it’s very affordable and you can choose from LOTS of colors! I just used two sheets of felt and sewed them together because Co is long!

After you sew the felt together it’s time to cut your strips that go around the neck and across the bottom!

This is what your strip should look like after you cut it. Drape over dog. Mark where buttons will hold the straps, across the lower neck and behind the front legs.

I used some old vintage buttons that I had. Sew buttons onto main piece; cut slits in straps. (As dog grows, make longer straps.)

Ceaux Ceaux was so distracted. I wonder if dog’s can be ADD! This thing on her is SOO funny!

She was SO awkward and didn’t know how to move! She just stood there and moved her eyeballs!!! To think there were people out there that didn’t love this dog like she needed to be loved is unreal to me! She’s just amazing!

Seriously. How could you not love this face! I swear she did NOT move until I took it off! I hope this craft is fun and easy for you!

Sending you a strong finger to take tons and tons of pictures of pets, jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #42 Button Wreath Ornament

I think my favorite thing about CHRISTMAS is making crafts with my little one. We are super close and I want all of the little memories to stick. Like making a tree ornament. I had so much fun making this ornament and it is so pretty on my tree! I will always remember the itty bitty fingers that made this…

If you have colorful buttons laying around go get them and put them new use as Christmas ornaments. If you don’t have enough loose buttons, or the right colors, don’t worry — stores sell them by the bagful. Kids will enjoy this project because each wreath they make will be unique.

Tools and Materials

Needle-nose pliers or wire cutters
16-gauge copper wire, or 22-gauge green floral wire, cut to 9-inch lengths
72 buttons for each wreath
Scissors
Satin ribbon, 1/8 inch wide and 6 inches long
Seam binding for decorative bow

I just used some cheap little wire cutters for this project because the wire I am using is not hard to cut at all!

See! It’s just floral wire that you can get at walmart

Cut a piece of wire {as big as you want} and put a loop on the end

Next you want to grab a handful of buttons {yes.. I know I have a bandage clip in there} lol

Start stringing those babies

You can make the colors go in a certain order or do it like me… Whichever button you pick out of the bunch is the one that is next! I told ya, I don’t discriminate! lol

I know you are flipping out right now! You are like, OMG I love this button ma jiggy! Just think. You can make your babies do this every year and it would be such a great memory! I hope you enjoyed this craft and have fun making it!

Buttons and Butts, your jaderbomb

Martha Stewart Countdown #40 Stenciled Napkins and Table Runner

Howdy Hoo Jaderbugs!!! It’s THANKSGIVING EVE babyyyy!!!! I sure made that sound very fun! BUT the fact is I am sitting down in my cozy living room, watching Dr. Phil {{btw did you see it today? SOOO SAD}} and blogging. OH EMMM GEEE I checked out my DVR list of recorded shows and my right eyebrow went strait up to la la land!

(( ok so it is THANKSGIVING day now because I fell asleep typing last night))

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! I love all of YOU!!!

What is everyone cooking for Thanksgiving? I can’t wait to eat all day long! But don’t worry! I am sure I will squeeze in some sorta “crafting” at some point.

Let’s get to crafting!

Grab a table linen

I think all the other stencils I have are great… BUT these babies…Take first spot!

Inside the pack there are 2 different sheets. I used this one. For some reason I can’t find the think to these specific stencils right now but I will put it when I find it!!! BUT! You can find them at Michaels!

You always want to use a fabric medium if you are stenciling on fabric! This will make it last a lot longer…

I absolutely love this stencil adhesive. Lemme just tell you I never ever used this stuff before they sent it to me! WHAT WAS I THINKING! NO WONDER MY STENCILS ALWAYS LEAKED LIKE CRAZY! I remember pulling up the stencil after I would use it and I had NO crisp lines! PHEW! You will is you use this stuff!

I used a SATIN paint!

In SURF!!!!

Look how pretty this color is!!!

After you spray your stencil with a light coat of adhesive spray this is what it should look like!

Then place your stencil where you want it. Grab your pouncer and start POUNCING!!!

You want to make sure you apply enough paint to coat every spot!

I am in <3…..

Seriously! I could NOT have bought a better table runner. I am now stenciling EVERYTHING in my house. Watch out everyone. Mighty Tight-ee White-ee’s may be NEXT!

Martha Stewart Countdown #37 Christmas Cloche

Last night I broke out the Christmas decorations! I swear this year I started so late. What? You don’t put up your Christmas decorations the day after Halloween? Me either lol! BUT…I usually put them up like 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. It’s funny because I used to be on the dot with “traditions”. I grew up putting up the tree the day after Thanksgiving. I think people start Christmas so early that they tend to forget about giving “thanks”. I don’t though. I am just decorating early for a HUGE birthday party! I love love love Christmas. Maybe it’s the vision I have in my head from all the {{Chiristmas}}movies I watched when I was little. Although, I must say I think I am living up to my visions 100%. I do want to say one thing that bothers me. I really don’t like how Christmas has become all about the money. I believe “retail” stores forget about the meaning and only think about how much more they can make this year. OH! I also don’t like when people write “X-mas”… Really? Is it that hard to write CHRISTMAS? What does the X stand for anyways? X marks the spot? Maybe I missed that but Christ is why we are celebrating! We need to remember that. Life maybe not be all that you thought it would be but with Christ, your life will be awesome with what was given to you.

Did you know that I heard black friday is called that because that is the day they get out of the RED! LOL….. Cuh-razy…. I guess it’s the day WE GO IN THE RED…

The craft I am doing today is super dooper fun and it’s so crazy because I did it last night without knowing that it was even a Martha craft! So I said “guh you betta use this”… and I did.

I just had these babies laying around and when I saw them I thought they were be perfect to put balls in! It’s super easy! All you have to do is turn the jar upside down and fill it with whatever ornaments you have. Yep! That simple!

Have fun putting all of your CHRISTMAS ornaments up!!!

Sending you a big ole house full of love, your one and only JADERBOMB

and this is how SUE C’s it…

I wanted to share a story about a person I met months ago. This woman is INCREDIBLE. If she could inspire one person in this crazy world then I will be happy!!! I have never met a person so kind and loving in my entire life. I asked Sue to send me an email about what she did this weekend so you can get a better understanding of who she is and what she stands for. I’m telling you Jaderbugs, I think she is a real angel. So here you go. Here is Sue’s story:

I love this picture! SUE YOU ROCK! All of your Angels were on YOUR back!!!

I am walking in the final Susan G. Komen for the Cure Breast Cancer Walk for 2011. San Diego is the final stop in a series of 14 walks that started in July in Boston, MA! This walk is all about finding a cure for breast cancer for our mothers, grandmothers, nieces, sisters, etc…

However, I walk for all cancers….I walked in this one because it gets the most attention, and in the process I will also be representing, pediatric brain cancer, and melanoma, and of course breast cancer. I walked for the first time in 2009 for my amazing Aunt Bubs, who had been diagnosed at Stage 4 Breast Cancer at the age of 90!! Unfortunately she died one month before I walked! But…she knew I was walking for her! This year I will once again carry her on my back, and sadly, I will add to that picture, my beautiful niece Taylor Suzanne Gettinger, who died October 22, 2011; and one week later my baby Brother Shawn, who died October 27th of Melonoma.

Taylor was only 19, and had been battling Stage 3 inoperable brain cancer. Shawn had been diagnosed only 5 months ago, that’s how quickly the melanoma took over his body and life….too much sadness for one family….But….I have taken pictures of all of them, laminated them and will pin them to my back for the whole world to see as I walk my 60 miles over the next three days! No matter what kind of weather we encounter, they will be pinned to my back.

In the past year I have trained weekly for these 60 miles…I have walked daily at work for about 50 mins. per walk, and at times on weekends, logged in training walks up to 15 miles….I also trudge once a week at the beach for a very hearty 5 miles!
Each person is responsible for raising $2300.00 prior to walking. Thanks to my amazing friends…I accomplished this task over a month ago!!! It is a very emotional journey….especially this year as I walk for three people that I love dearly and cannot believe I have had to lose to cancer….

I walk for my family, I walk for my friend Chazzy, I walk for so many families I have met along the way, who have lost children, siblings, spouses….I walk for my sister in law Belinda…who along with her 4 kids who are 2, 5, 12 and 15…now have to live out their lives with out their amazing Dad and Husband. I walk for my Sister Kathleen and Brother in law Stinnett, as well as my two amazing nephews Stinnett and Jack, who have to live the rest of their lives without an amazing daughter and sister…Taylor was the bravest person I have ever known…and she refused to ever believe that Cancer, her brain tumor “Gary” would beat her….she literally never talked about dying even up to the last few days of her life!

I will carry her memory forward in the days to come by opening an ART/Photo Gallery by the name of Taylor’s Heart…we will be working in conjunction with a Non-Profit here in San Diego by the name of ART’s: A Reason to Survive….it will be an amazing adventure and legacy that will keep her heart and memory alive forever and ever…constantly serving other children who are also battling the same fight she fought so couregeously!!!

I will be posting pictures as the days unfold!!! I am excited to start this adventure and look forward to meeting thousands of amazing people along the way!

Blog away my friend…the website will tell you just about anything you might need to know!

Thanks so much,

Love you and hope the day comes we all finally get to meet!!!

Hugs,

Sue

Now do you see? I could not ever imagine going through all the things she has gone through. I hope you enjoyed reading about this amazing angel walking around this crazy and chaotic world. I wanted to share a couple of pictures from her 60 mile walk!!!

60 miles… WHATTHA WHAT!

SUE! I am so proud of you and you have filled a special place in my heart. I will always love you for that!

Seriously. This is the best thing ever. I bet the energy during this weekend was cuh-razy!

Can you believe they even had “Martha” pom pom balls decorated along the way! I’m tell you these babies are the best thing ever! If you wanna make some click HERE.

SUE WE LOVE YOU! ALL OF THE JADERBUGS IN THE WORLD THING THE “WORLD” OF YOU!!

Sending you all the pink tissue paper poms poms to make you smile all day long, your jaderbomb
