Sculpey Clay and Shrinky Dinks

When I was younger, my sister and I used to make little figures out of Sculpey clay and color pictures on Shrinky Dinks. Lately I have been wanting to do that. I have been seeing a lot of figures on Etsy. My favorite right now is the little gnomes here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ratbeankat
I have a slight obsession with owls and gnomes.  Anyway, one year for Christmas, my mom, sister, and I made ornaments out of Sculpey clay for everyone in the family.  They had the faces and names of everyone in that family.  I will have to take a picture of them while I am at home.  All of our extended families have since grown, and all of my cousins are having kids.  It is weird, I am the oldest of my girl cousins that has yet to have baby.

My family is pretty ridiculous.  I have relatives that think its appropriate to post super personal things on facebook....

The other day my aunt, who is in her fifties posted this:
1. I had a miscarriage when I was 22, and I still wonder who that person could have been.
2. I was a daddy's girl until my sister was born
3. I've considered prostitution as a living..don't judge, It has it's perks.
4. I've considered murder, to the point of standing over the person with a knife.
5. I've had genital piercings..yes all of them.
6. coffee makes me manic
7. I've been stalked by both sexes
8. I rarely wear anything with prints
9. I hate wearing dresses
10. I hate having my blood drawn and almost faint every time (I'm a phlebotomist)



And today my grandmother posted this:
I have a sinus problem so last night I thought I would try the Netti pot. I read 8 oz of distilled water. I reached in the pantry and got distilled vinegar and put it up my nose. Pain so bad - like eating horseradish, a lot of it. Called the nurse-on-call. She had me wash it out with water and 1/2 t. salt. It was bad all night but doing much better today. Will teach me to read the whole label.


I am pretty sure I should be worried. Does anyone else have relatives that are really out there?
