Let the Fun Begin...

Hello Everybodee...

This is my first post you wouldn't think that this should take sooo long to come up with... well let me tell you... I don't know why but this may be one of the hardest things I've ever written.

I would like to start by saying thank you to Heather a friend over at Hopscotch and Hydrangeas. Who has been encouraging and helpful with this blog. Through talking with her and reading her blog this blog would not have been started. She has helped me with set up and has answered many questions.
Thank you Heather for all your help!

Why blog I decided to blog for an outlet, and a fun way to meet new people. It's also a way to share funny stories and pictures with friends and family. I can also get help with decorating which for me has been a looong and slooow process for me.

A little about me ... I got lucky and married not only my soul mate but also my best friend Gene. He loves to go to flea markets and garage sales with me. I love taking photographs of family, friends and my cats. These are my babies Stanley and Ollie . They were adopted shortly after I met my husband and we have now had them for 8 years. I also like to cook though I usually make so much that we have leftovers for at least a week. I learned that from my Grams, who also made more than enough to feed the whole family and send leftovers home.

My blog name that in itself was another long process for me ... To say the least I think things over. Then I think some more I pick the idea apart analyze it then finally reach a decision. Sometimes it was the original idea some times not. I came up with a different ideas but could not find the one. Then I took a friends advice and thought about what I wanted my blog name to say. That started me thinking . So I picked names and things from all parts of my life . Here is how all the parts of my blog name came together.

The Gypsies come into the picture from when I was little one of my favorite skirts to dress up in as a little girl has gypsies/dancers on it. It is a turquoise body with the gypsies/dancers at the bottom in yellow, red,white, peach, and black from what I remember and I loved it!!! It always made me feel special I hated to share it and would give up just about anything I was playing dress up in so nobody else would wear it. I think my mom still has it as a potential Halloween costume. I also dressed up a Gypsy one Halloween wearing it. Then as I got older I became fascinated with fortune telling of all types, and often wished that I had a gypsy in my family history. Fortune telling I have always related to Gypsies and carnivals they have always had the long dark curly hair wore flowing skirts and peasant blouses and scarves in their hair. Small discreet tattoos and lots of earrings mostly hoops.

Sit back dream, think and most of all enjoy and laugh!!!!
