It's Been Awhile!

Wow! It's been awhile since i have posted. Well, that's probably because I haven't really had anything exciting to post about.

Had a great Memorial weekend! Went to see Indiana Jones movie. Very good. Had some friends over to watch the UFC. Fun! Ate too much junk food! Went to some friends house on Sunday and ate more junk food!! Oh well, I did go back to the gym this morning. Really I did!

I have been working on my houses for the Itty Bitty House swap. I am getting close to finishing.

Also, I've been checking out a bunch of new blogs! How fun! I have been entering a bunch of giveaways from the 2009 Cottage Charm Giveaway. There are some great giveaways and it's been so much fun discovering all the blogs who are participating in the event! If you haven't checked it out, go here http://owcl.blogspot.com/2008/05/sign-up-for-2nd-annual-cottage-charm.html and see for yourself. The Twice Remembered Cottage is putting it on.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY,EVERYONE!

Miss you, Mom!!!

My Cool Early Mother's Day Gift!

Isn't this the coolest thing? My darling daughter gave it to me for Mother's Day -----early!! Lucky me!!! And the yarn inside is some that she handspun for me!!

I am assuming that it used to be used for string for packaging! Whatever, I absolutely LOVE it!!








OK, so I finished my pages for Karla & Beth's Birds & Bonnets Swap. I was pretty happy with some of them. But I look at other peoples collage work and I feel I need to work on some techniques.Ther is so much talent out there!!
It is so much fun though.
Any way, here they are. I sent them off this morning.

Got started on my house for the Itty Bitty House Swap the other day. This is going to be fun too!!
Then I really have to stop for awhile!! Take a break from the fun stuff and maybe get some house work done. One of these days maybe I will actually get my craft room organized!! Ha!!
I 've said that before a few times, haven't I?

Going to go see my oldest sister tomorrow! And my niece and her kids and husband!

Itty Bitty House Book Swap

I joined another swap. this one looks like so much fun! Callieflowergirl is putting it on. Isn't the little house soooo cute, don't you think?! I think it will be alot of fun!

I am just about finished with my Vintage Birds and Bonnets swap creations! That has been fun too!

I am so looking forward to a weekend at home. We have been gone for the last two weekends. and we may be going away next weekend also!! Fun, but I am getting very behind in everything.

Have a great weekend everyone!

New Banner

OK-- I just love the free banners that Counting Your Blessings has!! They are sooooo pretty! and just perfect for people like me who are not too smart on computers! As you can see, I have used a free banner and still can't get it to work right on my blog!! Ok, so I tried to use a different template and then I lost a bunch of other things. So---- I 'm going to settle for the banner to be off center for now!! Good enough for me!! I'll work on it later. But anyway----- if you have seen her banners, aren't they just so pretty? And if you haven't, you should go take a look at them here http://countingyourblessings.blogspot.com/. and how very generous of her to let us use them for free!!!

Had a great weekend. My husband and I went with some friends to Yuma, AZ to a motorcycle run that we go to every year. Had a really fun and relaxing weekend hanging out with great friends! then came home and watched the UFC replay. Oh yes! My guy, George St. Pierre won his fight!! He was awesome as usual!! Yay, George!!

Karla & Beth's New Swap and a Deleted Post

Karla and Beth are hosting a fun swap with Vintage Workshop. You can see what it's all about here http://karlascottage.typepad.com/karlascottage/2008/04/birds-and-bon-1.html
or here http://bethleintz.typepad.com/gathering_dust/2008/04/a-swap-announ-1.html.
It really looks like too much fun for me to resist! Even though I swore I would resist all swaps for awhile.

I had to delete my last post . I got several questionable comments. So just to be safe I deleted the whole post. So I will try to redo the post sometime soon, as I had some pictures of some of my daughter and daughter in law's items they have for sale on their Etsy shops.
Till then you can visit their shops at
The Beach Hut http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5714255 and
HMBM http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5267226 and
Dottie Lou's Knits & Notions http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=82166.

I think my husband is wanting some dinner and I am getting pretty hungry myself, so --see ya later!
