WORDLESS WEDNESDAY #12 (+ new banner day)

To do a Mouthy Monday as the last post of the year, or a Wordless Wednesday in which I ignore the wordless part and just adopt the Wednesday of it all?

Hmmm...?

Meanwhile guess what? We're on an 11-day Christmas Staycation and LOVIN' the freedom of it. Got new taller hair pin legs for my dough bench and put those on today. I love the new area. Made a kilo of hand-shaped cavatelli for me (and the freezer), and a BIG HONKIN' pizza for Smoochie Face. We'll live off this until it's gone. 

Delightful. 

In other news, on the 15th I finished the last of the lighting classes along with food in motion classes (video classes). That felt good. Excited to take the education into 2026, PLUS jump into a few new adventures. 

Pretty cool. 

And that my Boogerbutts is all that's fit to print for 2025. This is Ivy, reporting live from an 11-day Christmas Staycation. See you next year ❤️

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY #11 (now with la la las and maybe some words, plus more words)

Tim asked me how many Christmas movies I watched this year and I'm not even sure but the answer is a lot. Many. So many. 

Here's the best line I heard yesterday in a Christmas movie.  

"Is the Easter Bunny here?"

"No."

"Okay, good. I need to focus."

That interaction cracked me up. 

27 broken candy canes awarded to anyone who knows what movie that was from. Along with 3 stinky stockings and a handful of elf approved gummy bears. 

In other news, I failed to make it through this Wordless Wednesday. I might have to start Mouthy Monday. I'd be good at that one.

And that my Boogerbutts, is all that's fit to print. Wishing you all a yummy rest of the holiday season with lots of fa, la, la, las, along with a kickbutt 2026.

I dunno about you ... but I'm excited to make a few BIG changes in 2026.

Bring it on.

Huggs & Bugs, Me.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY #10 (now with no actual words)

 

WORDLESS (wordy) WEDNESDAY #9

Welcome to another not so Wordless Wednesday. Brought to by me, someone who can't stop using words.

True story.

Also, today is not Monday. 

Also a true story. 

In other news, I wanna turn the bedroom into a winter reading wonderland. So far my idea is to include snowflake lights and books. That's as far as I've gotten.

Suggestions and ideas welcome.

In other, other news, I tried saying wordless wordy Wednesday ten times fast and I couldn't do it. But I did a little better saying, wordy wordless Wednesday. 

And that my Boogerbutts, is all that's fit to print. 

ALMOST WORDLESS WENDESDAY #8 (because I can't help it, some days I gotta have words)

What do I get when I mix one snow day, with a bucket of mud, wood from HD and pot of Annie Sloan original chalk paint? Athenian Black to be exact.

Happiness.

I get happiness.

Plus another new banner using the DIY black photography board and inverse square law (the rate at which light falls off), for the back. 

Happiness.
