A Gremlin wrecks havoc !!!

Do U remember this cute little guy???

This is Gizmo...He's a mogwai,  an impish little fellow from that 80s movie, The Gremlins.

I always thought he was so SUPER cute and wanted one all for myself.

As it turns out there were a few Key Rules that came along with him on Christmas eve....

Rule # 1: Avoid Bright Lights !
Rule # 2: Don't feed them after Midnight !
Rule # 3: Don't ever get them wet !

Okay so what happens then??

Bright lights make him scared and freak out...
If hes fed after midnight he spawns into Spike....
and if they get wet.....
They multiply into more mogwais'


Ok so where am I going with all this???

I am pleased to announce our new family addition, Gizmo!!!
here he is!! He was born February 3rd, 2011
He is 7 weeks old and So cute....
but hes also Our little Gremlin.....

He is so curious and loves us already! My hubby brought him home around St. Pattys Day from work. As it turns out, he has a friend who had a small litter of pups and his friend is moving where he cannot have dogs, so he gave him to us.

Right away I knew his name was Gizmo, or lil Gizzy
He is part Pug, Chihuahua, and Border Collie mix~
 A Chugollie ?? if that makes sense.  lol


Polish Hoarding, So I'll Swatch some....

Okay so Im sure most of you ladies out there do it too, do you have an insane want for Nail polish like me???
I dont know why we do it but I cant seem to get enough. Every time I am out shopping and Im near the Health and Beauty aisle in the stores, Im totally distracted as to the sole purpose I was out shopping in the 1st place.... NO LIE! The Polishes call out to me..... "come chk us Out! "

Before I know it Im elbows in, knee deep in a colorful array of all shades and hues of the stuff...
Nail Polish!!!  I think its an addiction... Really!!
I only have 10 digits and 10 toes yet for some strange reason I have started hoarding and collecting polish.
Oh and btw... Not just polish either, All things Nails too.  I picked up paint wheels as pictured here so I could do different designs and play with my polishes.... Hmm WOW I have way too much time on my HANDS....lol
or just polish.

Anywho... here are some of the sample swatches I have as of lately!! I hope U enjoy looking and as always, Thanks again for stoppin by.  Ciao~

a cupcake 4 me?

Hello again, I told ya awhile back I was gonna try and work on this blogging stuff and Post more... U remember that in an earlier post, right?? Well anyways... I was watching a friends You Tube vlog a few weeks ago and she was making sprites, or Perler bead creations. I thought, huh that is neat. I gotta try them too....
So Yah of Corse I bought some too. Man I swear I have no life... Oh well. I went online and did a search and realized that Michaels had the beads, so off I went to chk them out.
Tip... I bought the 11,000 bead mixed container.... TOO many to SORT  OMG
why?? So before u buy them ... think about how long it takes to sort them... WOW!!
It takes hours/days NO LIE
next time I will just go online and order each color sold seperately in its OWN bag!
lol
Oh well, u live and learn
My very 1st creation...LOL  it looks kinda child like what can I say?

Walking dead....where the Zombies are!

Lately I have been really into Zombie movies, comics, books and games. I dont even know why, but with that said I have stumbled upon a grrreat series, The Walking Dead.  OMG, SO good. I went into my local Atomic Comics book store looking for anything I could find with those undead fiends, and I was in total heaven or should I say hell?  I came across the series and now I cant stop reading them. Also, it was made into a Movie series for AMC television. I dont have cable, so I guess I wont be watching it anytime soon. Bummer... anywho, I have read so far,  book volumes 1-5... again, SO damn good!!! Im not totally sure how many there are in all but I plan on reading them all.
So If you are into Zombies and like comics, Check it out!!!
Oh and thanks again for stopping in and reading my ramblings.  Ciao
Oh yah, I almost forgot to mention Im a HUGE Trueblood fan here as well. I love Vampires and werewolves too. I found this graphic novel on eBay and it was only a whopping $1 so I was like, hmmm
why not?? I am such a nerd/book worm. The book is called Bite Club... I havent read it YET but I'll let u know when I do and If it was a flop or not....

I got some of the China glaze Crackles and they are pictured here. Pink is Broken Hearted, Purple is Fault Line, and the Black one is Black Mesh. Also in the Picture is a Grey China glaze polish, however it is NOT a Crackle polish. Its called Recycle!
So I Polished ALL my nails with the Recyle grey polish for my base coat. Then over them on my thumb nail, middle nail, and pinky I used Broken Hearted. Over the index nail I used Fault Line and last on my accent nail or ring finger, I used Black Mesh.
I also used a 60 sec Clear topcoat to finish them off.
I really am all Cracked Up over them...
I hope U Like them, Thanks for looking,  Ciao!!!
