Freebie Hang Tag !!

noreply@blogger.com (Huckleberry Arts) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:17:00 +0000

I played with the idea of Drawing on the tags and creating sheets with them. I listed a few in my Artfire Shop And thought this would be a good one for a Freebie for everyone. Just click here to download and print out a sheet of them on 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, try printing out on cardstock or manila folders. Give a great tag feel and effect.

I would love feedback on these too, more drawn tags in the future or stick to just my painted? I hope to get to paint some new tags today too.

You can see more of the new drawn ones in my Artfire Shop http://huckleberryarts.artfire.com Did you know you do not need to register to buy off artfire?

My New Aceos

noreply@blogger.com (Huckleberry Arts) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 12:34:00 +0000

Finally getting a moment to post on my blog. Been one of those weeks where you turn around and it is over and weekend is looking just as busy too. I did get some new ACEOS done and listed in my Artfire Shop. I am also excited tonight is the Update for Spooky Time Jingles and will have a couple new offerings there too!

My new Aceos are fun little whimsical characters. They make me smile each time I look at them. I think the snowman are my favorite, they all though remind me of the kiddos.

They are all original and one of a kind and can be found now in my artfire shop.

Aceos still are my favorite to create, and collect. You can get some wonderful Artwork from Artist, with ACEOS. I have some I frame, and some I hang on a ribbon. They are fun to decorate the house with. I keep some of my favorite from some of my favorite Artist, around my desk. They are fun little works of art to have through out the house, and what a perfect gift to add to an envelope this year for Christmas, or even you friends for Halloween. They are a wonderful way to share Art with your friends and family, or just enjoy your own collection.

noreply@blogger.com (Huckleberry Arts) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:09:00 +0000

This has become one of my favorites it takes a bit of Crock cooking time but so worth the wait.

BBQ Beef Sandwiches

2 1/2 pounds boneless pork roast
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups strong brewed coffee
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dry White wine or Cooking Wine
10 cloves garlic

3 cups beef broth (or Chicken broth)

Cook 3 to 4 hours. Scoop garlic cloves out of the cooker and mash with a fork; return the mashed garlic to the slow cooker.
Set over night in Fridge

2) Cook another 3 to 4 hours on low the next day.

3) Transfer roast to a large cutting board, and discard liquid. Shred the roast into strands using two forks, and return meat to the slow cooker. Stir in the barbeque sauce, and continue cooking on LOW for 1 to 3 hours.

Serve on Buns (I am cheap I use the seeded Hamburger buns but bet they would be Awesome on Kaiser Rolls.

And for an Awesome side or put it right on the Sandwich add the coleslaw below

************************************************************
Coleslaw:

(I double this recipe for my house to feed 8)

* 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix

2. Whisk together the salad dressing (or Mayo), vegetable oil, sugar, vinegar, salt, and celery seeds in a medium bowl; blend thoroughly. Pour dressing mixture over coleslaw mix and toss to coat. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.( I make mine in the morning and let is sit in fridge till dinner time)

noreply@blogger.com (Huckleberry Arts) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 22:09:00 +0000

Woo hoo Finally a peek at my newest creations ! These have been in the making for awhile. I had been tinkering with how to actually create these totally paper 3-d dolls and finally came up with how I love them.

They are formed from sheets paper that my husband made.he creates handmade paper from paper that we would normally throw out. I then do what I do, and create the them into the forms of the dolls I have in mind. They then are given a coat of paint, and some get Wire, some get beads, some even get Real Gold leafing.

Each one unique, and own personality. The first 2 will be available for the July 13th update of Spooky Time Jingles ! Debuting will be Buster (the crazy hair one), and the Tall Red Gal Which I Call The Spirit of Christmas.

The rest will come available in the next few weeks along with new ones that are being created. The green gal which you see is a Christmas Tree Topper or Shelf sitter however you might like to use her. She is reserved back for the 48 for Larry auction. July 24 thru 26 on Blockhead Radio.

A Fellow Artist Father is missing Please READ !!!

noreply@blogger.com (Huckleberry Arts) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:04:00 +0000

HERE IS THE LINK TO BLOG FOR PICTURE PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AND SEE IF YOU HAVE SEEN HIM !! This is a Fellow Artist KitCameo Her post from her blog is below Please take a good look and visit links You would want everyone to look if it was your father then if you haven't PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!! THANK YOU

ATTENTION! This note was written by Noah Korda today at 1:03am on Facebook. For some reason every link I send out to the note only redirects to the FB homepage, so I'm reposting his message here! PLEASE spread the word and FIND THIS MAN!!

RT on Twitter with the hashtag #FindBOB

UPDATE: Here is a banner his son made with a photo of the make of his car: http://www.batsday.net/missingrobertkordaposter.pdf

I dont know where to begin. PLEASE HELP. MY FATHER IS MISSING.Hi guys,I know this is going to sound like another bogus chain email but I assure you that it is not. I personally dont know how I am keeping it together at the moment.My father has gone missing and I need help.

I know that sometimes sending out messages like this can help locate people. I am asking for any help at this point. Someone might have seen him.

The police is not really doing anything about it other than just reporting it as a missing person. The best part about all of this is that his cell phone is on and I know that they could do a tracking on it to locate him. They cant do anything without a court order which I am going to try and get, before his cell battery dies.

My father left Thursday 7/9/09 morning @ 7:45am to go to a job and never made it to the job. The job called the person who booked him the job and said that he never showed up.

He left from the Van Nuys area. Major cross streets Woodman & Victory. His destination was to be in Hollywood at the Gower Studios at Sunset & Gower.

He was driving a white 1994 Geo Metro. I dont have the license plate but will get it. My father is the type of person that is right to the point so he would have just taken the most obvious route. Victory to the 170 to the 101 to Gower. But at this point who knows. He is also the type of person that wouldn't really go somewhere with out telling someone. Its like he just disappeared into thin air.

Name: Robert Korda

Age: 69

Height: 5'5"

He is in good health

Any info would be great since we are at a total loss. We have contacted all the hospitals and police stations and there has been no one with his description at all. This is why I am now going to cyberspace since it seems that normal channels are not helping.

Any info can be emailed to me @ findrobertk@aol.com

As much as I would love emails that say Im sorry for your loss, please do not send this kind of emails to the email account or to this post. Thank you for this your understanding.

Any info that can help would be greatly appreciated. My family is a mess right now and we dont know what else to do. You can repost this to other groups if you need to.

Thank you.
Noah Korda

NEW INFO: My Father's License plate number from the car he was driving.CA 3GPJ453 1993 White Geo Metro
