Merry Christmas!

Well, the big season is upon us.  We are decorated and most of my crafting is done.  I have all my cards done!  Just need to address and mail.

We had a nice peaceful Turkey day.  Just the two of us and Tristian and Gage.  I froze the rest of the ham for Christmas.  We ate leftover turkey for a few days.

I've been sick this week with diverticulitis .  It's getting better little by little.  Prayers are appreciated. We didn't make the church Christmas party because of it.  Couldn't be helped.  We have plenty of other he things to do when I'm, feeling better.  It generally takes a few weeks to heal from this.

I have the shopping done, just need to do the wrapping.  I have loads of baking to do an d I'm making hard tack as well.  Still lots to do!

I'll try to post a few pictures.  Not letting me do it so will try tomorrow.  I'm on my new iPad.  Trying something new!!

That's it for now.  Enjoy the season my friends.  Love to all

Want to let everyone know we're still alive down here.  I've been pretty busy.  It's just been a really busy summer.  Not sure what all we did, but busy.

We had a surprise BD for Ina in July.  That was a lot of fun and one of the best kept secrets around.  Now that football season is here, I'm watching games every Saturday.  The Buckeyes are doing really good.  I've also started watching the Georgia Bulldogs, and they're doing pretty good as well.

My granddaughter, Chelsea was accepted into University of Georgia.   She will start next Spring .  I'm very proud of her as it takes quite a bit to get into there.  She is officially a Georgia Bulldog. 

I will load some pictures from my camera onto the computer and post some of what I've been doing. 
I'll post another one today. 

Sorry for the delay!!!

Happy Summer 2013

Wanted to update a little and add some photos of things I've been working on.  I have some scrapbook layouts, some cards and a wreath I did and hung on my door. 
We are doing fine and have been pretty busy.  I've been in the shack a lot and Royce did a big project and will post a picture when I can...  I think he has one more step to complete. 
Our garden is not doing so well ...  We've pulled the cabbage and the lettuce is done.  If the squash and zucchini doesn't look any better soon, we will pull it and throw it away... I don't think we are going to plant one next year.  Just let the ground set and refurbish itself... 
Enjoy your summer..

Spring Updates

Well, I see it's been a while since I've been on here again!!  I'm glad one of my friends reminds me to update this thing.

Royce built a lighthouse for the yard.  It's very nice.  At night it comes on and blinks like a regular lighthouse does.  Hope the neighbors don't mind.  He has another big project in mind, but hasn't started it yet..He's going to build a big Ferris wheel.  It will have seats on it and all and will turn.  He'll put figurines on it according to the season...  I can't wait til he gets started.  It will be very large.  Not sure where it will be stored!!!

I just finished one project for a gift and have started another. I will post pictures when I can.  I have some pictures of the lighthouse and some other paper crafts I've done.. 

We've had the garden planted for a little over 3 weeks now.  It's doing well.  Have also planted the pots on the deck.  Lots of flowers and pretty colors there.  It's just splashes of color.  We put four miniature roses around the light house.  Also planted some day lilies down the side of the property where the side road is.  I bought a Clematis today to plant and a friend gave us a butterfly bush to plant.  We will put that by the lighthouse which is in front of the shack.  I can enjoy the flowers and the butterflies when I'm in the shack... You all know I love my butterflies...

We're doing fine, health wise.  Royce had a bad cold last week and I had a bad bout of vertigo.  I had to get steroids to help with that.  I hate taking them, but when you can't keep your balance, there's not much choice in the matter...

That's about all the news here for now..  Just trying to stay busy and keep our minds occupied.  I love my shack and really work hard out there with crafts and lots of paper to play with.

Be blessed everyone!!!

Hello bloggers and friends and family

I have some pictures of my latest works in the Craft Shack.... I've been out there a lot this week. So enjoy the pictures...

Royce was away this weekend to Tiffton, GA at a meeting for all city councilman and the mayor..So, needless to say I was in the shack...

We've been fine, just bearing the cloudy and much rainy weather.  We will survive as I know a lot of you in the midwest are suffering much worse weather than us...

Will try to keep you posted on new things happening.  We are planning our garden.

Oh and we had a Brother and Sister To Do doing a Valentine theme.  We had lots of good food, games, and lots of fun.  I will post some pictures in another post.  You saw some of the decor I made in the last post of the things I had made....

Be blessed and stay warm..C

Here we go again, not updating like I should.

I've been very busy in the Craft Shack lately.  Have gotten a lot of stuff done.  I want to share some things with all of you that I've done. 
A lot of the Valentine stuff is for the Brother and Sister Valentines Party we're having next Friday on the 8th.  I can't wait.  It will be a lot of fun.....

So, again, here are some pictures..Most of this is for Valentines, others are birthday cards I made.  The tags are just something I wanted to do....
Enjoy and have a great month of February..
