Of Slugs and Giveaways

The only thing I have done today besides sweat my way down town to buy a tube of E 6000, was surf blogs. Now how do you spell slug-Pat... ?? :) After hauling ourselves down town to the only store in town that sells E6000 glue there was none and along with that info the news that they were not going to carry it any more (ever) :( Jeez now I have to find a mule for glue!! They did sell me a "new" glue and said it was just as good, haaaa I guess we'll see.

Sooooo while surfing I ran across this really cool give away. Jennifer of Glass Addiction is giving away two different pieces of her jewelry. There is a pair earrings with her awesome lampwork beads.

The other is a pendent made with one of her "ice cube" beads. Okay so why don't you wonder over to her blog and register for her giveaway and check out her ETSY site. But do not get your hopes up about winning the ice cube because it is mine!!! ;)

I think it's time I head to the shower, all this salt from sweating is really bad for the complexion of us slugs don't you know!!

Have a most audacious today or tomorrow depending on where in the world you are ;)

I don't like E6000. Honestly, I got some, because everyone said, OH, it's great, use it, and you know, I just can't handle that glue. I usually use the Testor's cement for jewelry, and for some things, superglue, and for others, the various Aleene's...knock on wood, nothing has come loose yet...; July 31, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Linda Vincent said...: Thanks for the link Pattie....I'm off to take a look.
I also feel 'sluggish' today - but I think its more to do with the amount I've eaten and drunk over the last few days. (Birthdays aren't good for you, I've decided).

The Velveteen Rabbit

What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
