I did something really stupid, so of course I had to tell sherry of http://ediemariesattic.blogspot.com/ And of course she said I should post it,so here it is.
The first thing I always do in the morning is put lotion on my hands and face. I did not sleep well,so I did not realize what I was doing. I proceeded to rub the lotion all over my face and arms, when I smelled something not quite right .Hmmmmmmmmm. What in the world (not exactly what I said). I looked at the tube, lo and behold ...instead of rubbing Avons Honey Lemon body balm...LOL...I was rubbing BOUDREAUX'S Butt Paste on myself...LOL. I don't know how many of you know what butt paste is, but down here, its a cream that you rub, where else, on your BUTT. Its for rashes and such as that. Most convalesent homes use it on their patients. Anyway I've been using it on my little dog Hobie. You see she has bad skin allergies. It kind of numbs the areas you put it on, LIKE IT DID MY FACE !!! I thought Sherry would never stop laughing. Anyway that is my tail, I mean tale of woe. It took me forever to wash that crap, dog gone it, I mean that paste off me.
I want to post a few dolls that I made a few yrs ago. I always wanted to make Asian dolls but never could find the porcelain heads to make them. So what I did was alter some of the faces of porcelain head I already had. I kind of sanded thier faces off and redid them as best I can. I'm not an artist, don't claim to be. Anywho... The first picture shown is not supose to be Asian , but more of the islands I guess. Any of you who have ever been to Bay St Louis on the coast might remember this. For its not their anymore. There were a couple of well known places on the Bay that got washed away during Katrina. I know all of you heard of the bridge that was completely gone. Well this is the spot I'm talking about. There was a bar called the Firedog Saloon ,a famous restarunt called Tripanies, great shops. In one of these cafes was a murial on one whole wall. The picture was of this doll you see here. I'm glad that I made this doll, because most records of it is forever gone. The elderly lady who painted this murial has passed also. She painted this when she was a much younger woman. She also use to teach belly dancing and was quite famous around our area. She taught my daughter belly dancing.
About the doll...I made everything except the head and limbs.I did sculp the blue parot. Not the smaller ones. In fact thats what this scene is called The Blue Parot. The vignette I crated believe it or not is almost identical to the huge murial.
I would love to pass this award to all my friends that I've been blogging with.You all deserve it.
LOLLLLL!!!That is toooo funny!!I can just visualize that now. Sweet Marie just slathering her 'cream' all over! How LONG did it take you to get that stuff off??
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the laugh...we have ALL done something similar, I am sure!
Did you get my email about a little surprise for you? Stop by my blog when you get a chance...
Have a Smoooooth Friday!
Hugs,
Lynn♥
Hi Marie,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure everyone's done the same thing at some point - like picking up too quickly in the morning rush that tube of haemmeroid cream...lol
Have a wonderful weekend!
xxLOL LOLA:)
OMGosh! You are so funny! I had a friend thought she was putting in no rinse conditioner in her hair after a shower once and it was really lotion! She had to get back in and try to wash it out and it still looked greasy for a while, LOL! Oh, and YES it really was a friend, not just me saying it was "a friend", LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour dolls are beautiful!
Thank you for entering my giveaway! Good luck to you!
If your daughter does help you put the button on the sidebar be sure and come back and do a second comment for the second chance! I was looking for her blog title on your sidebar and I couldn't remember the name!!! Please make sure Alexia is invited! :)
One should NEVER blog with liquad in their mouths. EVER... that is so funny and right up my alley of "what tammy did today". I have a knack for doing such things. I also twist words around a lot.
ReplyDeleteYour dolls are exquisite!! Truly beautiful.
No "butts" about it, you are too funny!!! Just had to "butt" in and say that, LOL...but Toni let us know if you think the butt cream is good for the face after all...
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous dolls! It's wonderful that you made that vignette of the Blue Parrot before the original mural was lost to the world.
All of the dolls are gorgeous. I love how the lady is carrying that lantern and leading the horse in the last one!
Duh!!! Your daughter's blog is "Genteel Poverty"!!! I just saw the thing at the bottom of your blog! I will go and invite her now! :)
ReplyDeleteIt has been a while since I have visited. Oh honey, I hope you are feeling much better. That numbness doesn't sound good.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of you and Sherry. It is so wonderful that you were able to spend the time together. Yay!
Your story is too funny. You need to steer yourself clear of the butt cream. Does it work for your dog?
Your dolls are treasures. You have been blessed by God with a true and rare talent.
Have a good weekend.
hugs,
Barb
hahahahhahahahha,....... that was a great laugh!! too funny!! thanks for posting it Marie.... it's great to be able to laugh at ourselves isn't it? .... I'm still giggling.... honestly the best thing I've heard in ages.... love it.
ReplyDeleteHurray, I can actually read your post! Before all that would come up was your sidebar, no post, no comment box.
ReplyDeleteOh that is so awful, I bet you RAN to the bathroom.
Those dolls are really cute too, have a great weekend.xxx
Hi Marie,
ReplyDeleteI will write some more when I've finished laughing. I almost did that the other day with my toothpaste. I owe you an email sweetie and yes, your lemon honey lotion sounds so much better. Talk very soon ;)
Happy weekend!
xoxo~Tracie
Hello Marie , saw you on Dame Penni 's blog and came by.
ReplyDeleteYou are very creative. And you raise those exotic fish and 'peacocks ' wow. I am full of admiration for you.
Hey Marie, OMG I am LMBO. This is too funny. I can see Sherry laughing and telling you to post it. I sure needed a good laugh tonight.
ReplyDeleteYour dolls are out of the world wonderful. I love them all. You are so talented and so creative.
Thank you for stopping by Lorri's home tour. Your kind comment is so appreciated by her and I know she has enjoyed reading them.
Have a great weekend sweetie. I will be in touch.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Marie!!! How wonderful to see your comment! Thank you so much for asking about my thesis...I am moving along quite well. It is comprised of three chapters (long and full of citations) and I have finished chapters 2 and 3. I now have to tackle chapter 1 and if I am wise, I will finish before the summer ends. Your story is hilarious! This has happened to me before, but not to this extent! I have used hand lotion instead of soap to wash my hands but in your case, that is very unique!!!! Your dolls are exquisite Marie! You are so gifted and I know the joy of working with dolls. My mom was so great at it. Have a marvelous summer; we are having a cool one. Yesterday it was about 59 degrees and windy! Take care and I will be blogging again soon. Kind regards, Anita
ReplyDeleteHi Marie,you poor thing ! But that was so funny when I was reading it.I have never heard of it.
ReplyDeletePretty dolls.
Hahaha, this is funny! My mistake was taking my daughters medical lotion instead of my contact lens liquid...this was an expensive mistake! The alcohol in that lotion damaged my lenses, so I had to buy new ones :-( I was happy that I didn't use it for my eyes though! Luckily budd ream doesn't exist here! Have a great weekend without any 'mistakes', though we like to hear those stories!
ReplyDeleteYes those dolls are old, the frozen charlotte is a little older than the little bisquit lady and the bath they are in together is new.
Hope you are having a nice weekend Marie.
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks SO much for your Cafe Press purchase too!
Chris (-:
XOXO
Hello,
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I haven't been here for a while and now I can't stop laughing about this post!
Hilarious~
~ Gabriela ~
That was so funny. How long did it take for it to wear off. Thank you so much for sharing the story. We all need to laugh at ourselves more often. I love your dolls. As usual they are exquisite.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh...that story is too funny!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Too funny! Your dolls are sweet. About breaking plates. I use a tile nipper...I have an EBOOK for sale that gives exact directings on how to cut a plate and keep it so the pattern stays together when you are breaking it. There is a link on my side bar.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny
Hi Marie!
ReplyDeleteJust stopped by to say you’ll be relieved to read you’re not the latest “tagging” victim in Lola’s latest post! (Or at least not when I last checked...!!)
Thanks for your later comment on previous post - made me really laugh!

ReplyDeleteHi Marie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. And yes, did note your love of historical romance novels! Think Mr Depp or Mr Bloom's company could well inspire me to try writing that type of novel too!!*wink*
xxLOL LOLA:)
Girl, you have got to get some rest! Too funny about the Butt balm. Well it could have been worse like Ice/Hot or something that. I've been there. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteYour dolls are beautiful as always especially your shimmering outfits.
Thank you so much for your visit. I'm glad to see you are doing well. Say, would you like to contribute to one of the TADS journals? I would love it if you would. You do not have to be a member of my network to participate. Let me know.
Sending fairy wishes for a magical and magnificent Monday.
Hugs! =D

Hi Marie, great job on the dolls. And what a hoot about the butt paste. We all do that, in some way or another. I hope you are feeling well, it is hot here, but probably not as hot as where you are. TTFN
ReplyDeleteHi Marie Send Butt cream asap! Haa..haa! I hope you are feeling better..I waited 10 months for sun out here on the beach...RAIN...it is going to be snowing soon! I feel like and look like a vampire! Maybe Butt creme will flush my face so I look like I have a sunburn!
ReplyDeleteGood thing I have been going to PT all summer....an eternity of PT!!

ReplyDeletehugs, Gail
Hi Marie,
ReplyDeleteYour dolls are just beautiful. Thanks for stopping by my blog party& leaving the sweet comment.
Merry christmas in July !8-)

Dear Marie!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you're well & totally recovered from the **** paste incident?!
Have enjoyed this return visit to your terrific site! Hope you had a wonderful weekend - am still recovering myself from Saturday's Xmas in July blog party and my special giveaway (entry deadline July 31!)
Have a great week & see you again soon!
xxLOL LOLA:)
Hi Marie,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you came to visit me this weekend. Your blog is lovely and you are one hugely talented lady!
Ah, Boudreaux's Butt Paste! The best in the world. When my son was born 18 years ago, we had a pharmacist friend who still lived in LA. He sent us a "custom made" tub of that wonderful stuff. I think maybe it used to be just a pharmacist's secret and you couldn't buy it over the counter then? Now it's famous!
Mele Kalikimaka! Maligayang Pasko!
ReplyDelete(still getting around to visit the Christmas parties and those that left such sweet comments…since this was our daughter’s last weekend home before flying back to college today!)
haha! I am cracking up about your "butt" creme mishap... with you, not at you, of course :o)
and you have beautiful dolls... I'd love to see the little girl's clothes you have sewn.
Blessings & Aloha!
Thank you for stopping by my family’s Christmas memory party :o)
You have an amazing talent for detail! Your dolls and projects are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you Marie, I am so sorry about the ear infection I know that can't be much fun I hope you are on the mend. I am just about ready to send mine, I need your address, If you have already sent it to me, I am sorry I misplaced it or some such thing, I am such a scatter brain these days. Just e-mail me with it if you still have my e-mail addy. TTFN
ReplyDeleteOh Dear that is soooo funny - Hey I wonder if that would work on painful spots on the body!! other than the butt?
ReplyDeleteAlong those lines - many many years ago while staying at a friends after a party - I woke up early in the am and HAD to brush my teeth - did have my toothbrush with me - so went in this guys bathroom and picked up a tube put the gel on my brush, stuck it in my mouth and started brushing - and then just about gagged -
looked down at the tube it was
Brylcream!!!! aaagghhhhhhh!! lololo
Toni - those dolls and vignettes are just stunning - but that doesn't surprise me - you do such beautiful dolls!
Hope you are doing pretty good sweetness!
Take care of yourself!
love ya Toni,
Kris
my one daughter got in a whole lot of trouble once for calling her little brother a "but face" I can't help from thinking that's what you were....LOL, sorry...Heidi
ReplyDeleteHi Marie,
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny! Oh my gosh! We have all done things like that. Beautiful dolls as always! My little DD was looking with me and thought they were so pretty! Hope you are well.

Hi, Celeste sent me over to look at your beautiful dolls. Oh my, what a story about the lotion. I am loving your blog. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie,
ReplyDeleteFunny, funny story ... you're a good sport to share it with your readers!
Your dolls are wonderful, especially in the settings you create for them. You said you're not an artist (I realize you were saying you're not a painter), but you definitely ARE a very accomplished one!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving the nice comment. I loved visiting you today, and I'll definitely be back!
Thanks for the sweet comments. Yes that is my sofa!
ReplyDeleteHi Sweet Friend, Just stopping by to say hello and view your gorgeous dolls again. Each and everyone has such character. You capture their personality so well.
ReplyDeleteI shared your peacock feathers on my post last night. They are so pretty and I am enjoying them so much. Thank you so very much.
Hope you are feeling okay.
Have a great evening.
Love, Celestina Marie
