Musings and Too Much Stuff!

I was surfing through blogland today while eating lunch and took a peek at Allsorts blog. Now I have been recently tagged by my BFF Suzy, among other sweet blogland friends!, for a middle name list. I don't have a middle name. All my life I've felt a little left out by not having one, but there is a good side to it too. In grade school one'e middle name was often a teasing point. so I didn't have to worry with that. BUT I was left out of the recent tag.

When I found a "open" tag on Allsort's blog, I thought it looked like fun. So in the same spirit, I am giving you all my list and repeating the fact that this is an "open" tag and you may play if you wish. Here goes:

1. YOUR ROCK STAR NAME: (first pet & current car),
Spek Beetle

2.YOUR GANGSTA NAME: (fave ice cream flavor, favorite cookie),
Party Cake Chip

3. YOUR “FLY Guy/Girl” NAME: (first initial of first name, first three letters of your last name),
E-Fed

4. YOUR DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite color, favorite animal),
Green Dog

5. YOUR SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name, city where you were born),
Holcombe Richmond (I used my maiden last name to sub for my middle name, so that's why this name makes very little sense)

6. YOUR STAR WARS NAME: (the first 3 letters of your last name, first 2 letters of your first),
Fed-El

7. SUPERHERO NAME: (”The” + 2nd favorite color, favorite drink),
The Yellow Coke

8. NASCAR NAME: (the first names of your grandfathers),
Frank Irvin

9. STRIPPER NAME: ( the name of your favorite perfume/cologne/scent, favorite candy),
Fresh Maple

10.WITNESS PROTECTION NAME: (mother’s & father’s middle names ),
Edith Calvin

11. TV WEATHER ANCHOR NAME: (Your 5th grade teacher’s last name, a major city that starts with the same letter),
Jordan Jamestown

12. SPY NAME: (your favorite season/holiday, flower).

13. CARTOON NAME: (favorite fruit, article of clothing you’re wearing right now + “ie” or “y”)

14. HIPPIE NAME: (What you ate for breakfast, your favorite tree),
Chicken Willow

15. YOUR ROCKSTAR TOUR NAME: (”The” + Your fave hobby/craft, fave weather element + “Tour”),

That's all! Have fun!

Musings....

Sometimes I just can't help myself and make a purchase of something I just have to have and then realize I can't find a place for it in our home. Case in point...

Isn't this wonderful? I have a hubby and 13 year old son and if I put this in the bathroom, it would get broken or any number of horrors. Let's face it, there are some fellas out there, and you know who you are, who just can't manage delicate dexterity. So, after enjoying this in my office for a long while, where it really doesn't fit in, I regretably put it on eBay. I hope it finds a good home. Adieu.

So that tells me that I simply need to just buy things to use in my creations, but I already have lots of that too. And what am I doing this weekend????? Why going to the Big Flea! 1100 dealers, indoors, awesome! You saw that my BFF Suzy and I went there back in July, and this time I'm going solo to hunt for treasures. I always look for things for Suzy even though she also says she doesn't need anything either.

Why is that if I say I don't need anything and go to the Big Flea, I come back with several bags full? Why? Why? WHY? Oh, well...;)

XXOO, Beth

Oh, I saw this name game too, pretty silly!! Love that dresser set, I hope it finds a good home. Absolutely I don't need ANYTHING from the Big Flea! But you know what to look for, right! I always need more of that stuff that I don't need! xo, suzy

Hi Elizabeth-

I'm still alive and well, just doing way too much! Love your names especially E-Fed! Cracks me up. At least it isn't K-Fed. One of those in the world is enough! LOL! Hope all is well with you and yours! Drop by my blog and say hi. I posted a purse I made for my friend's birthday with a vintage photo. You'll love it!

Hysterical! Have a great time at the big flea. I hope that you find more than you dreamed you would. xxoo, Susan

Hey E-Fed! I was so thrilled to have a few minutes to catch up on several of my favorite blogs. Time has been short around Stash Studios lately.

The Big Flea sounds like a blast! And the name thing just cracked me up. I once wrote a short story about an unfortunate young girl with 2 middle names trying to survive jr high and a locker which displayed her initials. I think her name was something like Faye Alice Rene Thompson. File this under "could be worse" ;-)

I have to tell you that those pin cushions have been a huge hit as the wave of birthdays I was preparing for this summer has finally hit. I even had to part with a real favorite but I know it went to a great home!
