Sam Edelman Katrice - Wanted

Long-time blog readers might remember these shoes I tried on last year, dreaming of the day I would be healed and able to wear "real" shoes again, let alone sexy shoes.  I almost bought these....and I swear I went back to that store 4 times and wore them around.....almost pulled the trigger.  Now I wish I had.

Sam Edelman "Katrice"  

Black and White Zebra, Size 8

I have never tried on wedges that were so perfect for my feet or as comfortable as those.  So I thought I'd give a shout out just to see if someone purchased these and never wore them or knows where a pair is....Size 8.

Here are my beloved photos:

I actually had a fellow shopper take this photo for me....Andy had a heart attack....it scared him to see me in such shoes with the state of my "numb" feet.....lol 

Anyone happen across my blog doing a search for these Sam Edelman Katrice shoes and have a size 8 to part with??  Please email me - link in the right side bar!!

I believe I will receive these shoes if they are for me to have or their equivalent!

Bang Photo

I decided that I like the side part better.....

I Got Bangs

Now, before getting horrified, I made sure I wouldn't look like someone who needs a "bang intervention", but I have to be honest...I was in shock when I turned around and saw myself in the mirror at the salon.  (I DID have a bang intervention in the early 2000's.....it wasn't pretty. I've been SO proud of myself for growing them out......lol)


I humbly share this photo from 1987 - just after marriage.  Don't you miss 80's perms (and hairspray)?  This was back before I learned I have naturally curly hair.....*roll eyes*....):

Back to my bangs today....


My salon gal did a great job....I guess it's just been so long since I've had them.....


See, now that it is summer, I wear my hair up all the time...and this left what I thought looked like a "comb over" with my shorter yet still longer face-framing hair.....


Comb overs are NOT pretty on females.  Shoot, not on anyone!  lol


So, if I part my hair down the very middle like she did, my HAIR (not me) looks just like Jennifer Aniston's character in the current movie,  Horrible Bosses (which we saw last weekend):

Photo edited to be family-friendly....lol

Is this a good thing?  Husband thinks so...but he loves ANY new thing I do to my hair as long as I don't come home with red hair....he's easy.  He actually PREFERS I change it up frequently..

I was happier this morning when I did my hair MY way....isn't that always the case?

And instead of fretting..if I don't bond with this, they will grow........

Do you have bangs?

Bad News - Good News

Bad News - My one month old Mac computer has been having "airport" issues.....multiple times most days, the wireless internet would stop working and I would have to turn off and on the "air port".  Drove me crazy.  After talking to Apple techs on the phone, they finally made us an appointment at the local Apple Store.

Good News - My computer acted up in front of the tech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was validated!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad News - It is a hardware issue, not a software issue.  They kept my computer.

Good News - I am getting a BRAND NEW Mac!!!!  I will get it in 24-48 hours, after they transfer my files over to the new one.

I'm bummed I didn't think to email myself my photos and some files off the computer so I can still enter parties this week with my Face Scrubbies.  Darn........

I'm still grinning ear to ear - I was validated!!!  (Like taking your car to the mechanic...and it doesn't act up...)

Be back soon!

Face Scrubbie

I finally got my crocheting bug back and decided to make a quick project....

Face Scrubbies!

I got permission from the designer, Lesley Dietschy,  to post the FREE Flower Scrubbie Pattern I used - 


Free Pattern Here


Here are the photos....I decided to make coordinating scrubbies....and oddly, although I am a "loose crocheter", no matter what I did, I could not get one that was the described "4 inches across"....the first one I made was too small, the next two I tried to crochet as loose as I could..and although they got bigger, none ended up 4 inches. Ah well....lol

I may be joining THESE parties!

Edit:  I forgot to add what yarn I used:  Lily Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn in Green Twists and Sage Green.

Do You Heartsy?

Have you heard of  Heartsy?  It is a discount type site for all things handmade, whether through Etsy or other modes.  I have been surprised that by the time I even open the email, many vouchers have already been sold and some sold out.  Shows how popular it is!


So far, I have ordered from Mae Minerals (mineral makeup and skin care items) and am awaiting the shipment.....almost every deal is OVER 50% savings.  Wow!

They have this sample sale at 50% off.....$10.00.  A great way to test their products/colors before purchasing at full price.

Check it out and see if you find some wonderful deals for yourself or gifts:


Heartsy - Exclusive Deals on Fabulous Handmade Designer Items!


This is not one of those referral sites.....just simply a regular site you can check out.  Once you sign up for free, you get an email a day (not sure if it is 7 days a week....)..showing 6 or so "deals" of the day.  Everything from handmade soap, jewelry, paper products, crochet/knitted items, even food items....pretty much anything you can imagine someone makes and then sells online.....


They even have an area on the main website where you can "rate" potential deals.....do you want to see deals from those type of stores?   Fun!
