I am a thief............

So, I’ll admit it…I am a thief. A common street thief.


Me and my hommies. Braxton & Lulu. We’re a gang.


Our gang colors are cotton candy pink and chocolate brown…and we're tough..and we lookout for each other..(notice them looking both ways??



You see us in the ‘hood, we’ll give you a shout out, “YoYo, wassup?”

“Yo yo mama…”

Or maybe it's "Yo-Yo Ma" …no wait…he’s the cellist…
And gangs probably wouldn’t know classical music if it bit them in the baggy-jeans-underwear-showing-low-slung- no butt-butt….

Maybe it's one “yo”…........2 Yo’s would be a toy on a string.....

I digress….

I’ll bet you’re wondering what I stole…stoled?...Took....

A screen door.

No, not off a house…
…well, actually, probably at one time it was on a house…

But when I “rescued” it…. it was in the big-trash-pick-up pile in front of a house that our city does twice a year.

It’ soooo cool! That pretty green like in my kitchen – and old…distressed…but it’s really short…must have opened a really short doorway…for really short people….Hmmmm
Anyway, here’s a picture of it.

I can use magnets to display cards, scrapbook pages and photos!
Or recipes.....
Or receipts......

Or, according to Randy, arrest warrants……

Yes, I did finally read on the instructions for big-stuff-disposal-pick-up that to “take” something is actually against the law.

Oops. Didn’t know that… How silly! Thought I was saving the city some time and effort…..

Can you imagine if someone had called in to report a “crazy lady with 2 small dogs and one screen door walking down the street at 6 in the morning” ?

Yep, I found it on our walk. So I had to “walk” it back home, right?

Screen under my arm, two dogs pulling on their leashes..me trying to keep up with all of that….

And I can just see me & the gang in prison….

Them: Wacha in for?

Braxton: whimper…whine Lulu: Grrrr!! GRRRRR!!! (little “piranha teeth” in an under bite could be threatening…)

Me: stealin’ a screen…

Them: ...a computer screen?

Me: Nope

Them: ...a Big screen TV?

Me: nope – a decorative screen door used for displaying pretty pictures and darling cards!! It was FAB! All sea-foam green and distressed! Martha would have loved it!!
Them: Oh, you know Martha too?

Hahahahahahaha!


Pssst....Braxton .... don't stand near the evidence.......

Have fun and don’t steal….
Re-cycle! Re-purpose! Re-use!

Hey, I didn’t realize I was going “green”! Environmentalists, be proud! I RoCk !!
