Duncan went to the Doctor today. He lost his dew claws, and definitely has a different bark. Poor Duncan will NEVER be a Daddy dog! Doesn't he look dashing?

Bargain Pottery, Continued

Back again. Yesterday was wordless Wednesday, I had to leave pictures without words. So, here I am today to explain what this is all about.
I love a bargain! I also love, love cake plates and unusual serving plates. We are going to a Superbowl party this weekend. Ryan and Terri have a new home, and are hosting the party. We are taking some snackie snacks with us. I decided I wanted to make a little something to give as a house warming gift. Well, I can give serving pieces filled with the snacks. Terri is decorating the kitchen in Spanish decor. I found these pieces at Marshalls for a steal! I researched just what glue would do the job. What a disaster! Supposedly this glue is great for glass and china. However, I soon found out it is not good for stoneware.
Second attempt.....
This time I went to a large craft store instead of the home improvement store. They know their products!!!This is the glue they suggested...it is perfect! I bought a syringe to apply more precisely, leaving a clean finish (when I applied that other glue was just plain sloppy, not having a small tip to apply).This is the finished project...I think the top plate will have shrimp and cocktail sauce, and the plate below will have cheese and crackers. I really hope Terri likes it as much as I do.Now, this one I really didn't need.....but how cute is this plate? I thought I should buy it to make another cake plate...or should I say cupcake plate! Can you see the Valentine cake plate behind? I use that dome on all of my plates. This plate will sit patiently waiting for a birthday or a random act of kindness to find a new home! I just love it!.....

....or maybe I'll just keep it right where it is!

Frustration!

Ahhhhhh....I always thought I was nothing like my twin brothers!!! Now I know it to be true, and I am so glad. They are self centered and greedy! I have NONE of that in me. If you know me, you to know I would do anything for just about anyone.... except those spoiled adult men. They broke the last straw, pushed me over the edge, I'm done, but you know what...what comes around, goes around! I guess just because kids grow into adults or at least one of us doesn't mean the road will be smooth. Nope, not at all!
