The breeders that I got Maggie and Mollie from, Anna Stringer and Stephanie Barnes, recently sold a Yorkie pup to Miley Cyrus, and four other pups to Hannah Montana cast members.
I built their website for them, annstefs.com, and Miley Cyrus’s official site is going to be linking to my pages soon.
Anna and Stef have wonderful dogs. I’m so happy for them to be getting this great publicity! Imagine that, my girls are related to a celebrity pooch! Of course, mine are cuter. *grin*

This is John’s dog, Oreo. ‘O’ is fourteen now, and not in good health, but she’s still a feisty girl, and the sweetest little soul ever.
I’m dogsitting this week for him and enjoying my time with her. The three dogs are so cute together, I’ll post some pictures of them for you in the coming days….
I made quite a few things from Jan & Friends Christmas Recipes yesterday. Cousin Phyllis’s Red Velvet Cake was a breeze to make, my only problem was the cooked flour and milk mixture that you chill and put into the icing to thicken it – you have to do it at a really low heat, and it tried to lump, but I put it thru a strainer and it was fine.
We’ll just chew with puffy cheeks and hope the grapes aren’t too juicy. I tried to get small grapes, but couldn’t, these things were really large so eating this could be interesting :0)
Veronica’s Mackinac Fudge was easy to make, too. She told me not to beat it with a mixer for the full six minutes, just to beat it until it got thick and glossy, so that’s what I did, I probably beat it for about 3-4 minutes, John gave it a thumbs-up, he loves that recipe.
The recipe for it is on Milly Scraps, here’s a quick click if you want to check it out.
Today it’s Jan’s great idea on the cheap that didn’t work out so well for me. I was watching Regis and Kelly one day and they were talking about how great Preparation H is for under eye puffiness.
Okay, so that made perfect sense to me, it shrinks hemorrhoids, it should reduce under eye bags. So I’m off to Walgreens to buy a tube, come home smear it on, yuck, it’s oily, it smells awful and doesn’t seem to make any noticable difference in the way my eyes look.
But I gave it a couple of more chances before I threw it in the drawer – my eyes were still puffy, it didn’t help a bit! Maybe this little trick will make a difference for you, the price is right, only $4.99, but for me it was money wasted. But maybe not all is lost, if I ever have a flair-up, I’m all set! ;0)
If you’re not familiar with this product, it’s a battery powered vibrating facial massager, with disposable puffs that are infused with ultra-fine crystals that do a wonderful job of exfoliating your skin. These little crystals are hard to wash off, though, this works best to use before you bathe. It’s much easier to wash them off in the shower, it’s really difficult to get rid of all the grit with just a face cloth. The cost for this system is $32.99, and it’s a great product. The big cosmetic companies make their own versions of this at a much higher price than Neutrogena, but this product works really well. I usually alternate it with the Buff Puffs. Works for me…
Well, it’s just gone to hell in a handbag here today. The net is just up for a minute, then down again. I finally started wrapping that ugly paper with wide red ribbon, the wired kind, which would have been really pretty if it wasn’t for that awful paper, nothing could make it look good.
Anyhoo, the red ribbon is embossed with gold snowflakes, gold glitter snowflakes. Now this isn’t my first rodeo with glitter, I’ve had plenty of disasters with it, and now I not only have glitter all over me, but it’s all over the dining room rug and you can follow a glitter trail all the way down the stone floor to the den where the presents are deposited under the tree.
So now I have that mess to deal with, not to mention that the M&M’s have been tromping thru it, so they probably have glitter imbedded in their fur, too. And trust me, everything that glitters is not gold….
Oh well, ‘tis the season, right? Um-hum, sure it is…
It took me awhile to get the hang of this, but you can learn from my mistakes. I’ve done it so much, that I can roll the q-tip and distribute the wax thickly and evenly. Don’t try rolling it on! You’re a newbie, gotta learn what you’re doing before you graduate to rolling, first you glob!
So you need to dot a thick glob of wax on your outer brow bone, then another glob closer in toward the arch of your brow, and maybe still another if you need to, just make sure the globs touch so that it all comes off in one piece. Press the wax into your skin, being careful not to get it into your eyebrows or heaven forbid your eyelashes, let it cool until it hardens, and starting from the outer corner, quickly rip it off!!! OUCH!!! Of course it stings, but only for a minute. You don’t put cloth strips on it like they do in the salon, just glob it on and rip it off.
It works really well, yeah, works for your upper lip and those pesky post-menopausal chin hairs, too – ughhhh, just don’t go out of the bathroom until you’re finished…. I don’t even let the dogs see me, don’t want to traumatize them.
The jar says you can use it on bikini line, too – you’re on your own with that one, I’m not gonna go there. I have a girlfriend, who shall forever remain nameless, that had a total disaster with waxing her bikini line herself… YOWSA!
This jar of Micro Tweeze lasts forever, and costs under $12 – less than one salon visit - is that a good deal or what????
I now have raffia all over the dining room floor. Egads I had forgotten how that stuff strings all over the place. I wrapped one gift, and it looks just horrid!
It’s hopeless, it’s that stupid paper, no matter what I do, the gifts just look terrible. Grrrrrrr, I’m not in a good mood, can you tell???? AND, internet goes down constantly this morning, if this even publishes it will be a miracle. Just one of those days….
