About Me

My photo
Earth, California, United States
Sissy Dre was inspired by my father, Robert Felix Rosales, particularly his stylish clothes and big-hearted ways of being. My father was always open to any new hobbies or opportunities and especially enjoyed meeting new people. I take on this creative venture to honor him in my own way. Creating from scratch has opened artistic doors within me that I never knew existed and I hope this blog helps to inspire some crafty part of you too. 000000

Gift Tags Halloween Style

Hi Peeps ~

Three days till "GLITTERFEST" ~ what a rush ~ the factory
is cranking up the production......

I feel like I just went thru 3 batches of cookies.....
check it out ~




No time for cookies, just "Gift Tags" ~

Where did this energy come from?

I know where it came from... from JC in heaven ~ 
I talked with him for an hour this morning about so many
things, this is his way of saying you can do it.

Only Jesus can really say, "I know what your going thru"

Why?

~ Because He entered our World
~ He breathed our air
~ He shared our pain
~ He walked in our shoes, and then some

God is with us, believe that his word is TRUE!


Much Love to you daily ~
Sissy

Treasures & Junk ~ Labor Day Sale

Busy, Busy, Busy @ Treasures & Junk on "Labor Day". 
Monday was non-stop from 9:30 am to 5pm ~
Had a great time running around, opening cabinets, 
taking items to the counter for customer to keep shopping,
lots of snacks, ice creams, soda pops, and cup cakes.

I have to say the most enjoyable time for me was meeting
and getting to know my fellow vendors. These gals & guys
are moms & dads, fellow animal rescuers, antique lovers, shooters,
church goers ~ 
some have been in the business for 30 plus years, some 
have multiple business, some have been collecting 
for a couple of years, like me. In Dec. this will be my 2nd 
year at Treasures & Junk.  All the new friends I met
on Monday are awesome and free spirited ~ I look forward to getting
to know them better. 
Thanks to Jenna & Chad for bringing all us vendors together
in this happy "free spirited" place of business and friendship.

Treasures & Junk ` ROCK ON ~

Reading this morning from "As I See It" by Greg Laurie.

"By questing God's goodness and love, I am in essence 
saying that I know more about it than he does. The fact is, God
doesn't become good because that's my opinion of him, or be-
cause I happen to personally agree with his actions or his words.
Nor does he become good because we vote on it and all agree
that is the case. 
God is good because God says he is good. And it's not up for a vote.
You see, God is good whether I believe it or not, and he alone
is the final court of arbitration. As the apostle Paul said, "Let
God be true, and every man a liar". (Romans 3:4, NIV).

~ Enjoy Today my Friends ~

Vintage Wood Grain Embroidery Hoops

Hi Peeps ~ 
It's been a while since the last time I've blogged..
..what a bummer for me. 
Last weekend hit about 10 garage sales
here in my little town of Upland, CA.
I really enjoy chatting with the old folks, 
I love hearing the stories behind the things 
that they are wanting to depart with, after
so many years of holding on their enduring
treasures. My most enjoyable find during the 
weekend was the "Vintage Wood Grain Embroidery Hoops"
I suppose it's because I'm familiar with the sewing 
community and enjoy the stories of how these older
gals got their start in the business. As well as 
tips, and advise only by experience they are willing to 
share. 







Now what to do with them???? Hum....
Well, I've had them for a couple of days now, starring at
them is not working~nor is it giving me any ideas
on how to re-purpose them. 
So, If I don't come up with any ideas....off to the shop
they go....

Much Love to you daily ~
Andrea
