One more thought for the day-
Watch this space the next week (maybe even *sooner*) for some exciting news. If you like the look of my "Swatches" (aka little paper books), you may LOVE this news.

Hodge Podge of stuff...
Do you drive *this* car?? If so, stop parking the damn thing in front of my apartment. Your ear piercing squeal of car alarm that CONSTANTLY goes off at all hours is making me insane. I have an idea-you and my "favorite neighbor" can get in the car and drive far, far away. "Favorite neighbor" decided to smoke in front of "new neighbor's" door on Friday night. Well, when "new neighbor" opened her door and sprayed lysol, so "favorite neighbor", he started calling her very very rude names...Then "Favorite neighbor" called the cops on HER when it was HIM who verbally assaulted her. Little did they know-we saw/heard it all...ready to help if help was needed. Luckily it was only verbal...nothing physical (though he has made threats and he DID physically assault my husband in 2005).
The police came an hour later and he blatantly lied to their faces. He also sounded like he was ON something. After hearing what he said and after he closed his door, so the police could talk to "new neighbor", I opened our door and told one of the officers that if she needed a witness, we saw/heard everything. "Favorite neighbor" said "new neighbor" sprayed lysol ON him (no she didn't). "Favorite neighbor" likes to stand right in front of your door/window if he knows the smoke irritates you. The police left. "Favorite neighbor" then in the middle of the night decided to destroy "new neighbor's" property (a decorative sun she had nailed to the wall outside her door) at 4 a.m. Oh fun. When will this jack ass be evicted?? He gets away with everything .
On an entirely different note, here's how I spent my day-
On to today, my friend Kara is the BEST. Look what she made me. Inspired by Hanna of IHanna fame, check this out. I LOVE it!!! How totally and utterly cool is this?!?!?!
First stop in the door was this husband and wife team. The husband was selling paper ephemera and the wife had buttons and fabrics. YUM. I went a wee bit crazy and bought 3 old photographs, some old books and book pages.

After we visited Hammond Castle, our next stop (one of my priorities) was The Paper House. Mom & I went in while everyone else just hung out in the car. Even though the inside is small, I could have spent a while in there just oogling and ahhing over everything inside. It's amazing. See for yourself:

I love the "cut" look here:
