more things i've pondered

in this country, it seems the criminal gets more rights than the victims which is unacceptable anymore! what ever rights the criminal took from the victim, those rights should be taken from the criminal and that's me being fair, as i TRULY believe that once you commit the crime, you gave up your rights as a civilian of this country. but by no standards should the criminal have more rights thank the victim and more power than the courts.
i truly believe that if zimmerman wants to claim its him on tapes screaming for help even tho he was the profiler, hunter and armed, then we should be able to stun gun him and see how high his voice sounds. i know it sounds horrible but even the innocent have been stunned gun or tazed by cops, why cant we use it as a test on a criminal?
tbese sports people are getting out of hand with their obscene wealth when eve THEY KNOW that kind of money should go to police and fire fighters, who by the way, are mostly volunteers.
if things were done even close to what i suggest, so much bullshit would stop almost immediately, i'd bet on that.
war crimes should be charged on the bush men when they get rich as they destroy the backbone of america, the middle class. it, to me is disgusting, what's happening in these days and i pray the right people smarten up and start getting things right soon or we are all doomed as a civilized country.
anyone who takes the time to read this, i would love to hear from ya :)

really been quite awhile now

 since last blogging i have been a little creative with making dollhouse miniatures, cards, painting stones like ladybugs, just trying all kinds of things here and there. see some samples:

but my health has been really top priority as of lately. one thing or another has been going on since before beginning of this year and it's truly been tough. i try to keep things positive and remain strong but with all the crap with GMO's being approved in our foods and now vaccines and how crazy the world has become, it's growing tougher each day.
hence why i write today, i hear this crap in baseball with how many men now being accused of using steroids and no one has a solution to put this shit to an end, well i have something i think they should try... if ONE person is found using steroids, then the whole team should be benched (at whatever sport) for the entire season, more importantly WITHOUT pay, then maybe these buttholes would think twice before repeating the same offense.
Also i have been watching diligently, some court cases and realize it's not the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth anymore but win or lose at whatever cost, which is absolutely unacceptable! how dare lawyers run the victims name thru the trash in hopes of confusing the jurors and being proud when they do, when a judge KNOWS the  lawyers are bullshitting or outright lying, fine them, jail them but serve them somehow with punishment, so this comes to an end! how can anyone have faith in or believe the system will bring justice otherwise?
 and finally i ask what is going on with these GMOs in our all our foods from baby formula to kool aid? why target our children with these organisms that have been proven to cause diseases and now that WE have these diseases, why isnt the government supporting us being their experimental guinea pigs? instead they destroy the middle class, so its rich and poor classes only and feed us poisons and fine us for wanting to grow our own foods!? what the hell happened to america and the american way where we could be proud to wave Old Glory?
when i see sports events so expensive the average man cant afford to support their team,same with concerts and celebrities and people who act like the world is just fine instead of getting involved in making it right, it just doesnt make sense and really makes me wonder where this is all going. capitalism, make money, great but not at the cost of your fans, constituents  or citizens!
i know many that visit my blog, will not even bother reading this entire post cuz it's not about crafts and they dont want or have to face what's going on, but i encourage you to get involved. whether you live in the states or not, it is problematic to us all, effects us all and we all need to get involved to end it. it has been going on for years and getting only worse as we remain silent. we must stand up and speak out to let them know these things just are no longer acceptable before it is too late. support your local farmers, artists, musicians and dont be afraid to MAKE your represenative, represent you.

been awhile!

this is the first time i am posting this year, wow. it's been kinda tough and things arent letting up anytime soon, sadly enough.
anyway, i am here to hopefully inspire anyone who still visits my ol' blog.
i'm gonna share some backgrounds i made and hope if you use them, you show me what you did AND i also hope to encourage you to try some of these techniques as well.
first up is a painted background, just squeeze the paint out in streams and have fun:

second is just glitter glue dropped on page and then sponged around:

or just sponge different paints on your paper or cardstock:

or last you can play with shaving cream and inks or dyes to create marbling or tye dyeing effects.
here is my inked:

here is my food dyes:

 here's a link to a video to show

the point is to just have fun and you can create awesome backgrounds too :)
