December is almost here!

A little wish to get the Christmas season started.

November....

is almost over. I am so excited for the holidays to start. We will be having a visitor for Thanksgiving and can hardly wait.
I have managed with the help of several different tutorials and several different blogs to learn a new craft. It is so much fun to make flowers. I have been using old dresses for them.

Here are two of the cards I made from thrift store finds.





Here are the thrift store finds.

I am so excited to make some more projects from these finds.

I have some ideas in mind for the formal dresses and wedding dress. I can't wait to get started on them.

5 generations

I posted these pictures on facebook, then realized I really did want them in a blog post.

Once again I have been thinking. Sometimes I think to much, other times not enough.

My granddaughter - I am having so much fun watching her grow up, she is such a good little mommy to her brothers, especially her baby brother.

This is Alyssa.

This is Heather.

This is me!

This is greatmama

This is Lettie Mae.

I love the similarities in our looks. I wonder what other things we have in common.

Good News, buttons, yodeling, bad news, and missing Dad!

First the good news....I found my buttons!

I am so excited that I found them. I have hunted and just about given up. Alright I'll back up and explain. I really love "Mary Jane's Farm" magazine. I even joined the farm girl sisterhood. The basic principle behind it is common sense. As part of my goal to simplify this year I have realized how much "stuff" I have and this fits right in. I feel like it has given me permission to be me, the best me.



Please, don't ask Rick how many boxes with craft stuff we opened this weekend.



I am learning to use what I have. To also reuse or re-purpose what I have. Remember the wedding dress from earlier. In the next few days I will have a project complete that is from items I have created.



Oh sorry, back to farm girl. Well one of the things you can do is earn merit badges by doing or learning different things. Yes, that is where my buttons come in, there is a merit badge for a button collection and learning about buttons.


Last Sunday was such a great day. We had guests. Family!

I love my family. Vickie and I got to singing songs from road trips.

We yodeled. No, I will not yodel for you, sorry.

Mom laughed and said she couldn't remember how to yodel. On Monday when we picked up the little dog, she told us she had spent all day trying to get the dog to yodel.

Poor little dog.

Bad news, I lost my buttons again. I put them back in the same box I found them in and dear Rick restacked the boxes!

Just for you "Lark" pictures.

Every once in awhile I miss him!

I believe that he knew how to handle his reins.

Life Happens

I cannot believe how long it has been since I posted.
What has been happening...First baby Evan has been growing he is over 4 pounds.

Greatmama, got new ears (hearing aids) and it has made a remartable difference. shhh YIPPEE!!

I got new shoes. Before you start getting all excited as to why would she post about new shoes please stop and take a deep breath. I don't like trying on new shoes. I do like my favorite shoe salesperson though. They were on sale and are nice.

Poprock and I got to go see Evan again and we both got to hold him.

Well on to some other things and I will be back!
With pictures.

Look what I found!

This was hiding on Poprocks computer and it made me smile.

I don't know really anything about this picture, so I guess I can make up a story for it.

Today is one of those bad days that I haven't had for awhile, I figure if it has been over a week I'm doing good. So instead of a pity party I will make up a story about this picture. Real free to make up your own story too!

The little baby is still ok, he is back on the cpap. It must be so hard to be such a little baby. Feel better and grow strong little baby, we all love you and want you to come home soon.
