Long Tyme, No Type!

WOW, it has been an age since I had the time to sit down here and share anything or even just type anything! I hate to admit this, but I have missed sitting down and thinking over the last few things I've made, sorting thru them and deciding what I wish to share if anything at all. Of course most times I do wish to share something, I'm just never sure what that elusive "Something" is. Today I am sitting here trying to decide between a few things to share, but I notice I have had a recent trend of sharing siggies using KAagard's kits. Now I LOVE her kits, as they are just deliciously cute and fun..but it seems that is all I am sharing recently..which is quite funny since that is not all I have been working with LOL So after much thought, and debating with myself I decided to share this sweet siggy I made.

To Clown or not to Clown

That WAS a question I had to answer not that long ago. I chose to clown, as it seemed to make the most sense since the intended use was a Birthday Tag.  So I went with what "seemed" the most appropriate. But as it turns out I should have not only NOT gone with the clown, I should have used a piggy in instead. LOL   BUT all is well, that ends well. and in the end the requester got what she asked for, after nicely asking me to take the clown out and declutter the tag a bit cuz it was hard to read :) Truth be told I am extremely Happy that she felt comfortable enough to tell me what she did not like in the Tag, which allowed me to revise it and make it into something she really did like. I just wish more requesters held that honesty when picking up a Signature or a Tag. It is truly refreshing.........and with out any more Mumbling, cuz this Mumbling Mama is DOG tired from a very sleepless night, here are the 2 Tags I made.

*Note*
 All information in both these tags remain unchanged.

This is my Revised version for the requester

Science Project and Siggy!

Well now, all has certainly been quiet on my end of this blog LOL

Not so though in my life. This past week, Mumbling Girl and I have been using most of our free time to work on her school science project! She chose to do her project on stain remover..which combination of Baking Soda and one other ingredient works best on Stains. Her combinations were Baking Soda & Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda & Soda Pop, Baking Soda & Laundry Detergent, or Baking Soda & Milk. After much thought, her Hypothesis was that Baking Soda & Milk would remove stains the best. So that done, we gathered our rags, stained one up with Ketchup the other with Dirt & Grass. Then we tried all 5 combos of Baking Soda using 1 TBSP of Baking Soda to 1 TBSP of her other ingredient. and I have to say BOY were we surprised at what worked the best on the both of those stains! Now, Now I am NOT going to give the results of her tests right now. Oh no, I will do that in the coming days. LOL Mumbling Girl and I, still have to finish making her Tri-Fold board into her experiment show case. But once we have done that, I will take pictures of it and post just WHAT combo of Baking Soda works best. :)

 The answer might truly surprise you :)

Until then though, I DO have another Siggy to share. :) I certainly think it is super cute, though I'm not sure the requester agreed with me...Perhaps it was a bit to "childish" or "cutesy" for her. Or perhaps it is not what she had in mind..Or perhaps I just read to much into a request picked up using 2 words...Thank You, and nothing else. This Siggy making is hard business, I tell you. Unless a requester is very specific, it is all a guessing game. One you never know if you did right, or are on the right track until it is picked up. and me...I don't so much like guessing games..but I LOVE Siggies and making them...which by default puts me right smack in the middle of a guessing game LOL So with out further ado, I will stop my Mumbling and share this cute Siggy :)
