Time on my side?

Time is an equal opportunity employer.
Each human being has exactly the same
number of hours and minutes every day.
Rich people can't buy more hours.
Scientists can't invent new minutes.
And you can't save time to spend it on another day,
Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving.
No matter how much time you've wasted in the past,
you still have an entire tomorrow.
-Denis Waitely

I've been CRAZY busy and that's actually a great thing.
I think this might be the "Year of the Skippy Doodle".
I'm excited!
Can't announce anything 'stellar' as of yet.....
but announcements THERE WILL BE!
WAHOO!

The above pictured children's hutch and clock collection belong to my infamous
friend, Jen O'Connor. She found these treats at Jack's Barn in
Oxford NJ. jacksbarn.com
My Brother's place. It's wonderful!
You should definately check it out!
Jen's hutch is also filled with Derby Blooms made by
my friend and Talented textile artisit Marie Pendly of CA.
You can see them and purchase them on Earthangelstoys.com.

Stay tuned for more SkippyDoodle news and updates!

H*a*P*p*Y N*e*W Y*e*A*r!

Happy New Year!
2011 was a good year.
I can't complain at all!
BUT
looking forward to an AWESOME 2012!
*
So Blessed to have a LOVING and SUPPORTIVE FAMILY!
You can achieve anything when you have someone standing next to you cheering you on,
or giving you words of advise, or a pat on the back for a job well done
or even a shoulder to cry on.
Thanks MC and Tess, from the bottom of my heart!
*
My life motto is:
LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT,
ALWAYS HAS BEEN,
ALWAYS WILL BE.
*
We all have the opportunity to make ourselves happy, successful, loving, supportive and motivated.
If you don't like a situation you are in, the job you have, the relationship you're in, your weight, your finances, do something and CHANGE IT!
Sometimes it might be as simple as waking up and being grateful for what you have.
Kissing your loved ones and telling them you love them.
Getting rid of those 'energy vampires' in your life.
Cutting out the fast food, brown bagging lunch.
Call a friend or sending a note.
*
Simple things make a difference.
*
Take care, God Bless.
Enjoy your life in 2012!

Winter Storm Alfred? Really?

Winter Storm Alfred-the-Horrible!

Tess as Abby from NCIS
*

A winter storm named Alfred on Halloween weekend?
Really?
Unbelievable!
*
I don't like Alfred.....I never will.
He put the kabosh on the 4th Annual Parker Pumpkin Fest!
There was no Trick-or-Treating!
That meanie!
I still haven't recovered from it!
*
SOOOOOOOOOOO........
this Saturday, we are going to have a Power Outage Party!
That's right Alfred, a P-A-R-T-Y!
We got our power back Tues afternoon.
Some of our friends and family, not so lucky.
*
We're going to fire up the grill, get out the snacks and have
everyone over to eat, drink, socialize and be warm!
*
So there Alfred, stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Country Living Fair in "HOTlanta"

A week from today I will be meeting Jen of Earth Angels Toys
to pack another 15' Truck
and head out for "HOTlanta" for the Country Living Fair.
*
The Amazing Earth Angel's Artists will be together ONCE AGAIN!
It seems like yesterday that we were just together in Ohio.
This time, Jody Battaglia, Pat Murphy, Leslie McCabe and Debbee Thibeault
will be joining us. You ladies were missed in Ohio!
*
Not to mention, the amazing, energizing, 'teamster' Michelle Hodge!
Girl, where have you been?
Can't wait to spend time.....we'll have a lot of time to catch up when we're driving
for 14 hours!
*
If you live near Atlanta, you CANNOT MISS THIS SHOW!
There's nothing like a Country Living Fair and
there's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE THE
INFAMOUS EARTH ANGELS TENT!
*
Be there or be square!

Country Living Fair in Ohio

Only one week from today and I'll be heading to NY to
help pack up the Earth Angel's box truck!
I can't believe the Country Living Fair in Ohio is next week!
Friday thru Sunday, September 16-18th.
*
Either one of the Country Living Fairs, Columbus Ohio or
Atlanta Georgia are
ABSOLUTELY A VACATION DESTINATION!
There's Art, Antiques, Junk, Food, Demos and lots more!
*
If I weren't working both shows, I would empty my own truck, bring my
bestest girlfriends and shop til we dropped!
We'd spend it like we had it! ALL WEEKEND LONG!
*
There are a few goodies on my list from our own Earth Angels Artists.
Can't wait to chat and spend time with all of the Earth Angels.
*
Stop by if you are near the Columbus area.
You won't be disappointed!
PROMISE!
*
Oh, and check out these talented ladies at the
Earth Angel's demo tent.
AMAZING!

Poz Family Vacation

MC, Tessie and Me

Eddie, Me, Mommy Dearest and Chris
(Missing Matt!)
*

August is always the month for the
Poz Family Vacation.
This is the second year we ventured to Jamestown, RI.
It's a beautiful, stress free, farm island.
No traffic. No crowds. NO WORK!
Only 20 minutes from Newport, a more 'touristy' and
crowed RI town. We head to Newport for dinner at the
Barking Crab. Everyone loves the Alaskan King Crab legs
or a Lobster dinner. Oh, that is with the exception of my brother
Chris who has shell fish allergies.
*
We always take family pictures.
We have actually used them for Christmas cards in the past.
I think we might do the same again this year.
The only thing that would have make this vacation perfect,
would have been my youngest brother Matt and his cutie patootie
daughter Sadie Anne coming too.
I'm praying that 2012 will be the year for all of us to relax together.
