For my birthday last March, I got my first Jennifer Murphy bear (above). (Click HERE to peek at her gallery.) It was purchased from one of my VERY favorite treasure troves...Earth Angel Toys.
Well, Jennifer has been working with Midwest of Cannon Falls to mass produce some of her designs for the holidays. I was so happy to have purchased three of these.... wanna see??
Here are some pics of some of my favorite ornaments this year. oxox
Happy Friday! I know I've been absent but thought I'd pop in to say hi and let you see what I've been up to.
I'm working on some projects, the little pin cushion above is one. I used a sweet Goebel salt shaker from my collection.
I've also listed some new things on my Etsy shop...here's a sneak peek.
I've got more to list, but have been sitting at this computer way too long today.
Tonight my friend and across the street neighbor is having a girls night at her house. I think there will only be three of us, and she's pushing for it to be a jammie thing...(easy for her, since she lives there!). We're going to be working on our artsy stuff, having taco salad and margaritas. YUM!
One final thing I've just GOT to share...something I discovered over the weekend and am obsessed.
There's a website for book lovers! PaperBackSwap.com. It's totally free. You just sign up...*tell them tracy roos sent you!,* list any book you have & are ready to part with. Once you've listed 10 of your books, you will get 2 free credit points. Everytime someone requests one of your books, you'll mail it out and when they get it, they log in and give YOU a credit. You use your credits for any books you fancy. They even have a wish list....want a book that's not offered by one of the millions of members? If you add it to your wish list, they'll send you an email as soon as someone lists it! WOOHOO!
They've also got a CD swap site and just started a DVD one! gotta love swapping.
have a great weekend!

Hi all....hope your weekend is fun and you've found time for a little treasure hunting! :)
I have been doing some research on some of my treasure stash (considering listing some on ebay to make some extra xmas money) and I happened upon this awesome site! I'm linking you directly to the DTs, to see everything she has to offer just click the MAIN tab at the top of her page.
I went out for a few hours with Tami yesterday...had a ball and found some really cool things. Today has been quiet and nice. I've been in my jammies all day, worked on projects, etc.
I've taken some pictures of my fun new treasures but am too lazy to crop them....

I am in love with antique jewelry. There are a couple of ebay sellers that find the most gorgeous pieces. Here is a link to one of my favorite sellers. If I ever won the lottery, this is what I'd do with some of my winnings. :)
I must be a complete dork to even try to show off any of the new pieces of jewelry I've made for my etsy shop after the gorgeous pictures above, but, here goes...
okay, I'll be good....I'm going to post links here to others I'd like to share but won't make those of you with more things to do be trapped...even tho I'm suddenly trapped and I have tons to do!
If you want to see more of chloe, here are her mom's videos... Here's a funny baby video...not chloe, but really worth the peek. How about triplets? Here's a cat with his tongue sticking out. Finally....look at this.....does anyone know if this baby is really talking? If you do, I'd love to know!

I've been uploading some things in my new Etsy Shop...I'm actually sharing a table with my friend, Tami, at a craft fair on Saturday....but afterwards, I'm making art for Etsy. :)
I've got a load of packages to mail today...mainly little things I'd been wanting to send for ages...just fun things. Hope everyone's having a great week. oxox
