Well, friends & neighbors, here I am back again. After a long and quite difficult 2007, this time I'm back to stay. Thank you all who have continued to visit the blog and those who have sent good wishes after my Mother's death in November. It's time to come back, though and I have saved lots of goodies from around the 'net for you.

Hope you like all the new goodies I've added to the sidebar here. I'm working on Angelsolutions Boutique too. I have two new web sites too, LOL! Boutique Chic Gifts and Precious Pets Gift Shop. Hope you'll stop by and enjoy some delightful shopping.

Better run for now, but I'll leave you with a poem someone emailed me after Mom passed away. I just loved it.

When I Asked God for Strength, He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face.
When I Asked God for Brain & Brawn, He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve.
When I Asked God for Happiness, He Showed Me Some Unhappy People.
When I Asked God for Wealth, He Showed Me How to Work Hard.
When I Asked God for Favors, He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard.
When I Asked God for Peace, He Showed Me How to Help Others.
God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted, He Gave Me Everything I Needed.

Have a Blessed Day!

BOO!! I'm Back!!

I'm back at the helm and so excited to be able to bring you more fun gift ideas again!

After a challenging year in real life, dear readers, and I was finally able to retire from my "day" job after 30 years of public service as I became ill.

More painful for me is my mother's illness, however. Mom had a heart attack in January, and again last month. She's doing better now and at home, Thank God, but the stress of that was overwhelming too.

It's my hope that by doing what I love to do, sharing fun ideas, we'll all have a great old time and I'll be able to release my creative spirit again! I've made some updates to the blog sidebar, so I hope you'll check out all the links. I'm off to update the Angelsolutions Boutique website too. But first, how about some hilarious BAT POOP & PUMPKIN POOP ideas for Halloween?

BAT POOP
I hear that you've been playing tricks,
So listen, here's the scoop...
I'm running short on candy treats,
So this year you get Bat Poop!!!

Use raisins; licorice, root beer or other dark jelly beans; chocolate covered peanuts (you get the idea!) and put them in a little bag, a cellophane cone bag would be PERFECT for this! Then attach this poem to the bag.

These would be great little party favors for kids' Halloween parties, or if you make smaller bags, you can give them to the trick-or-treaters in your neighboorhood.

Here's a different version of a poem to use:

BAT POOP
Furry Little bats,
They don't like cats.
They fly at night,
They are a sight.
They come and go by the moonlight.
So.....
Beware of where you step~
BAT POOP!!!

And how about some *yummy* Pumpkin Poop?

Pumpkin Poop!
I started to carve a pumpkin
With my carving knife and scoop.
But the pumpkin got so scared
He took a little poop.
It looked so cute and funny
Just like a candy treat.
So I'm sharing it with you now
Because you are so sweet.
~Author Unknown~

Use candy corn, and put them into a little plastic pumpkin (you can probably get them at the dollar stores) OR those *wonderful* cellophane cone bags or smaller cellophane bags would go great here! LOL Then, tie the poem to it.


Hope ya'll enjoy those! Be sure to subscribe to the blog! We gonna have some fun now! Laterz,
