My Pool - Trashed!


My pool got trashed, I had water in the basement and coming in windows, but we didn't get it nearly as bad as some people just down the hill from us. There are roads closed all over the place, there were funnel clouds and hail, it lasted forever! We never have storms like this! It was crazy. The pool was overflowing, there were little waterfalls coming from my neighbors' driveway, and all the pine bark mulch that is in my planting area is now in the pool; the filter somehow got clogged with mulch and it's going to take DAYS to get it swimmable again.

The mailman never took my mail yesterday so some people who are waiting for beads are going to have to wait another day...sorry. I'm going to run them down to the post office, I guess.

The most important thing is that you all made it out in one piece! I am glad to hear that you made it out in one piece...Clean up is never any fun, so I hope it isn't too hairy!
Oh geez, no fun. Glad you're ok!

Living in So Cal as I do, one forgets how severe the weather can be in other places. We just catch on fire every fall or rock and roll occasionally. Hope no one was hurt and that the damage is undone quickly and painlessly!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
