Good Bye

I have been very lax on my posting, please over look me for a little while.

I just popped on her to tell you that I will be back again, probably next week.

This past Sunday on the  20th my beloved grandmother passed away.  She would have been 95 this June.  This wonderful women left behind 8 children,  26 grandchildren and 48 great grandchildren and 16 great-great grandchildren.  And up till a month before she passed, she could tell you every one's name, spouses, and birthdays..  That's better then I am now!!!

Taking this week to help my family get through this and I will see you soon.  It helps to know she is with Grandpa now.  She had been missing him alot these past 15 years.

Please take time to visit and cherish those around you.  Goodbye comes faster then you ever think it would......

Please Stop!!!!!!

I start each day with my coffee and computer.  It is how I wake up..

My problem is that I start looking at a blog, then find a link to another blog, which leads to another link and the snow ball effect  turns into an avalanche!!!!

I have honestly sat at my computer from 7am to almost 2 pm just looking at all the wonderful projects and my mind starts whirling!!  lol  Please quit posting so many awesome things!!!  Just joking..I love all the items I find.

I just need to discipline myself better so I can get my own projects done!

Keep posting and I will keep looking.
I have a project in mind that I am starting tomorrow!  Transforming a large TV  to an entertainment center.  Wish me luck!!!!

A New Little Something I Tried!!

The other day I was going thru some of my junk ( I mean craft supplies) and I found some left over yarn.  I really like to crochet while watching TV at night so I grabbed it and a hook and started playing with it.  Not sure what I was gonna do I finally settled on making
 dish rags.
Now these are not perfect by a long shot.  The first one came out larger then I expected but still usable and the smaller one came out neater looking.  All and all I don't think I did to bad of a job.  I believe I will get better as time goes by.  But I figured HEY!  I am using them to wash dirty dishes with so why sweat it?!?!   I do plan on making more and being really careful because I believe I hit upon a  cool Christmas idea!!!! 

Sorry it took a while to post again but work is a little crazy right now.. 
Check back soon because  I have a lot of projects bouncing around in my head and will be getting started soon!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

It's A Party!!!!

Saturday was a busy and crazy day and I loved every minute of it!!

My grandson Alex will be 5 this Wednesday so we held his party this past Saturday.

Spider man was the theme and cousins came from near and far to attend.  Out of 13 grandchildren we got to enjoy 12 of them here.  Like I said it was a crazy day!

We had cupcakes but his aunt made him a 3 milk cake(a family favorite and also part of  most of the grandchildren's Hispanic heritage  She came in from Kentucky and discovered that running her car's heater caused the writing to run a little.  But let me tell you, it taste AWESOME!!!!

And last but not least is the birthday boy himself.  I can't believe how big he has grown.  All the grandbabies are growing like weeds and I have to struggle to keep up with them.

I didn't post all the pictures I have because there are like 34 of them and that would have made for one heck of a post!

Tomorrow, come visit me to be introduced to the new love of my life!!  See you then!!!
