Patio Angel

I cruised through the Wolcott Orchard's Arts and Craft Show this weekend and found this patio angel. She was one of those things that just took my heart. There was no deciding if I would take her home with me I just got out the check book. I had to have her. She is made of treated lumber that is used for decking and her head is a red bowling ball. She has a wreath around her head, a bird on one wing and a lady bug on the other. She is just darling.

The show was very crowded, had lots of really nice things and the weather was beautiful. I treated myself to an elephant ear - not quite on my ww diet. Oh well, only one I've had all season.

This is Waleed in his new bathing suit. He is wearing the suit over his pajamas. The suit has a built in life jacket and the goggles are a trip just on their own. He thought the whole outfit was really cool. (He's three, everything is cool when you are three! LOL) The suit works really well in keeping him a float, giving him a chance to gain some confidence in the water. It also doubles for a cool super hero suit as you can see.

And a couple more!

Here are some other Post it Note holders.

A Class Project Plus

This is a project that I did in one of my 'after hours' classes. The match box type figures can be opened to house a Post It Note pad. I have made several since taking the class. (I will post others in the coming days.) They are a fun project and nice little gifts for friends and family. A few of us from work have taken a couple of classes with a group we heard about through friends and they have really good ideas. They are really great people and it's been lots of fun. They meet each month and I look forward to the gathering.

Cousin Joel's Birthday Card

One of my cousins is the lead singer for a local band, the Blue Hawaiians. I attemp to work some kind of music into the cards I send him. This was for his last birthday. The music note paper was bought at JoAnne's and the stickers are from the 'Suzy' line. I think they are so cute.

Loss of Pet

One of my friends had her dog hit by a car and she had to have him put down. She and I are such animal lovers. I felt so bad for her and her family, I sent them a card letting them know I was thinking of them. The card was made using brown stock from Stampin' Up and the dog prints is a paper I picked up at JoAnne's some time ago. The dogs were made with my Cricuit. Two different breeds and one in two colors, dark and light brown. I haven't used my Cricuit too much but when I do I like the results.

One more Halloween

Another Halloween and last for now I think!

More Halloween

September 11 - Do You Remember?

God Bless America!

Halloween!

It's almost Haloween and everyone is getting excited about getting those special people a just right card. I was visiting my daughter and she has saved all the cards I have made for her in a binder. I took several pictures of past cards and these are a few of those for Halooween. It has been so long since I made these I haven't any of the information to give just credit to items used.

Newlyweds

Labor Day weekend my cousin Wendi tied the knot with her special man, Tim. They were married under a tent in front of a lovely decorated and lite lattice arch at the home of her parents. The colors of the day were 'pool blue' and Wendi was beautiful. It certainly was her color. Tim, Tammy (maid of honor), Tim's brother (best man), Colton and Jack (Wendi's boys) all added a touch of the blue to their attire. They looked fantastic. It was a small and lovely affair attended by family members from both sides.

The family enjoyed each others company and as usual told funny stories on each other. It was a wonderful day for all as we celebrated the beginning of the happy couples new life together.
