A Joke for you, A Joke on Me and Terrific Tuesday's Giveaway

Okay, I decided that a joke was appropriate for today. My son's speech therapist, Kathy, sent me this joke, I guess because every Tuesday and Thursday I am apologizing and griping about how dirty my house is and how no one ever helps me to clean it! Sorry Kathy!


Q: How many women with PMS does it take to change a light bulb?


Woman's Answer: One! ONLY ONE!!!!



And do you know WHY?



Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb!



They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!!



They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the #&%!* light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CABINET for the past 17 YEARS!



But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them, 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!!



AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE FREAKING LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!!



BECAUSE NO ONE EVER PICKS UP OR CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!!



IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!!



IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS PLACE!



AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHO CHANGES THE TOILET PAPER ROLL !!



I'm sorry. What was the question?



I'm in the middle of cleaning, sorting and throwing away stuff from my craft area. I can't believe how much stuff I can cram into one little closet. It's like one of those teeny cars stuffed full of clowns. They just keep piling out. That is what my bags of fabric, stickers, more fabric, paper, more fabric, ribbon, more fabric, odds and ends of stuff I don't know what I'll ever do with but I can't part with it and yes, more fabric is doing. Piling out and out and out. Know that I'm getting the closet cleaned out and putting stuff in the basement I have to go clean the basement to find room to put all the piles. I think it is a lost cause, but I am woman, and I shall keep trying so that I can make it look like I don't have as much stuff as I really have, so that I can go out and buy more.

It is Terrific Tuesday and I don't know what I'm giving away yet. I need to go rummage through one of my piles real quick and see what I can find that I can part with. I'll be right back after I do that and change a diaper:(

Okay, I found something. I made these cones around Valentines Day to sell in my shop. You can hang them on a doorknob or on a dresser drawer and put little pretties in it. If you would like to win this just leave me a comment today and I'll enter your name.

Cami, Marcia and Pintoo I still have your giveaways sitting here ready to go, I just have to get my butt in the car and go to the post office. Sorry for the tardiness, I will definitely have them out this week!!

Terrific Tuesday Giveaway

Here is this weeks Terrific Tuesday Giveaway. It is a potholder that I made out of 100% cotton crochet thread (the thick stuff). It has 2, yes 2, layers for extra thickness. It can be machine washed and dried on a low setting. I have never been burned using one of these, of course, I don't cook either. Ha!Ha!Ha! Just kidding! With 8 kids I have definitely done my share of cooking!! These are nice and thick though and wash up nice. So just leave me a comment about any old thing at all, but put it under this post and I'll enter your name to win this potholder.
Thanks and have a Terrific Tuesday!!
Cami is this weeks Terrific Tuesday winner!

Terrific Tuesday Giveaway!

I bought this cute plaque from Taylor n Ronnie's Chic Boutique on Ebay awhile back and have had it packed away. It's on 1/8 of an inch board and is approx. 4 1/2 x 7 inches. It has a pretty pink ribbon attached to hang it up with. It's really pretty but I don't have room for it, so it's now on its way to being the Terrific Tuesday Giveaway.
I'm giving away another item this week. I have some wonderful fibers for sale in my Etsy Shop. I have different colors and 2 different size packs. For $1.25 you get 2 yards of 6 colors for a total of 12 yards of fibers. The other pack is 4 yards of 6 colors making 24 yards of fibers for $2.50. (There are minimal shipping charges) So, anyways, I am giving a small set of the purple fibers away today.

Just leave me a comment about any old thing you'd like and I will enter your name to win one of these wonderful prizes! (Hee! Hee! I'm so funny!) I'll put all the names in a hat and draw two names out. The first one gets the rose plaque and the other person gets the fibers. Sounds okay? Okay, great and good luck!

The winners are: drum roll please.............. Mary Ann Abbott gets the plaque and Speak Out Loud wins the fibers.

TERRIFIC TUESDAY GIVEAWAY!

Two Giveaways Since It's the First Terrific Tuesday Giveaway!!
The first giveaway is 5 Springy Tags and a Zippy Letter Opener
1/4 yard of Flip Flop Fabric
There are 2 Giveaways today. This was harder then I thought trying to decide what to get rid of. I hate to part with anything, just ask my family! I have fabric from 30+ years ago that I need to do something with. So this is the beginning ........of me giving my stuff to you so your house can become cluttered and mine, maybe, possibly will become a little less clutter free. (yeah right!) Anyway, just leave a comment today and I will put the names in a hat and have one of my kids draw a name out bright and early tomorrow morning. Have a great, hopefully Springy, Terrific Tuesday!!!
Thank you for entering the giveaway. Pintoo won the fabric and Mary Ann won the tags and letter opener.

Giveaway's

Okay, how many people like Giveaways? I know I do. One of my very favorite Blogs is A Very Mary Design . I read this particular blog because I love Mary Ann's sense of humor, her wit and her sincerity. Mary Ann has a giveaway on Friday's and a word game on Wednesday's so I thought I would try starting a TERRIFIC TUESDAY GIVEAWAY. I have ssssssooooooo much stuff and I guess it wouldn't kill me to get rid of some of it. Besides I love to give stuff away about as much as I like receiving it. My daughter Mallory will just go crazy on this one, she LOVES to give stuff away, especially my stuff!?!? So I will post the first "EXCITING PRIZE" starting next Tuesday. All you have to do to be entered is leave me a comment on Tuesdays.

My DIL made this up using the pictures of my 5 oldest boys. So funny!
