Howdy!! Wow, it's been quite some time since I was on here. I can't believe time is just flying by. Well let's see, what have I been up too with being MIA for these past months? Working fulltime, watching my youngest grandson 4 days a week and now, got myself involved with my daughter of doing some fun stuff that we didn't think would be such a hit but boy, were we wrong!! We now have a Facebook page where we are selling our fun items. If you have a FB page, feel free to hop on over and check it out and "Like" our page, you'll enjoy it I promise. It is located: </div>

Where did all this stem from? Well I had found this cute little chair that I bought from GW and wanted to do a Time Out saying on it for when Carson is a little older. Once I posted it, it went viral! I had no idea but it sold immediately and now more people want them. The problem is I don't have any of that style now, but we have found a few other fun pieces so getting those custom ones done. I have to admit, it did turn out so cute!! What do you think?</div>

Howdy!! I've been very busy with work, watching my youngest grandson 4 days a week and working on things around the house. Today is a time for me to step back, look at what is going on around me and to thank the good Lord for all the blessings in my life. You ever have a time that an event happens and it literally slaps you in the face and you ask why??? Well that happened to me today and it made me really think how precious life is and how blessed I am to have such wonderful people in my life. Never waste time to do what you want to do in life. I know we've all heard it before but we get so busy at times, we forget so it is a good reminder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of my newest crafts that I worked on is this cute "Welcome" sign. I made it for my daughter and son-in-law as they love these types of things. I think it turned out cute and it is now hanging outside their front door.</div>

Here is a shot of my sweet little grandson, sporting one of the onsies I made for his "month" birthday's for his first year. He's gotten so big, so fast but is such a sweet blessing. Happy go lucky. I can't believe it's been 5 months already since we were blessed to have him come into our lives.</div>

We've been very busy working in the yard also, and getting the flower beds all cleaned up and re-barked. Is that a word?? lol They look so nice now but there was a void in one of the beds in the back of the house, which our neighbor's stare at on a daily basis as it faces their front part of the house, so I decided to do something colorful, cute and quirky, all in one. What do you think? My first attempt, not bad :)</div>

Well howdy there! Sorry I've been missing in action, a lot has been going on since my last post, from last year. Geesh....where is the time going!! I had tried quite a few times to get on Blogger but it wouldn't allow me too giving me the error with cookies....but guess I finally won that battle :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So,what have I been up to since I last posted? Well we have welcomed our 6th grandbaby on December 14th which was a wonderful Christmas present to all of us.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Carissa had to be induced a few weeks early as her blood pressure was high but all turned out great and Carson Roe was born at a whopping 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 1/2" long, healthy and happy. We couldn't be happier. She was able to take 12 weeks off for maternity leave but had to go back the first of March which was very hard, but it is only part-time so that is good for her. It's so hard for first time Mommies to be away from their little ones. I do have the privilege of watching him as I have the flexibility of working from home, so Monday - Thursday I get this precious little guy. His other Grandma watches him on Friday's. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life gets so darn busy at times, I need to at times remind myself to slow down and take care of myself also. I haven't been able to take as much time with my crafting as I've been busy as stated above, also our oldest two granddaughter's were having issues so we had them staying with us a few weeks, birthday's of our 3 kids were happening and well, yes just life in general.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have done a little crocheting for Carson. His parents love to fish so of course Nana had to make a special hat for him ;) Isn't that just the most contagious smile!! lol</div>

Have done a few smaller items. I made each of the two older granddaughters these for Christmas. I thought I had taken a picture of the other one (done is black and whites) but can't find it but gives you the idea anyway. They loved it them and have their "girly" stuff in it as they put it lol. It is so nice to have grandbabies who love things that are made from the heart :)</div>

Howdy!! Yes, I am still around and I have been busy, and trust me, that is an under statement!! I have so much going on right now and I've been trying to prioritize things and unfortunately, my blog has been put on the back burner this past month with everything going on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started a new job a few weeks ago and have had a few obstacles getting everything set up but as of today, that is all behind me and it is full steam ahead :) The perfect thing about this job is that I am able to work from home and only have to go into the office for half a day a week. Not bad huh. I feel very blessed as this job found me, I didn't find it. It allows me to work fulltime and still be close to my youngest who is due to have our 6th grandbaby within the next few weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking of which, here is our little updated picture of her and baby Carson. She is at 34 weeks right now. Excuse her bathroom shot but she was at work and wanted me to see.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSU5Y20tZ8edxY51KZvyEj-FJno6z0VCeanp7ciJUKctam8Yt__NfVyTOGxzTG5omjDnGnWYK2ooRNY5s9SULe2YB8FUtxMBUYP4FHHeLXlEN_mZJ1HsskdsfVUGBcZCkbqBWgygBkeNat/s1600/34+weeks+and+dropping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSU5Y20tZ8edxY51KZvyEj-FJno6z0VCeanp7ciJUKctam8Yt__NfVyTOGxzTG5omjDnGnWYK2ooRNY5s9SULe2YB8FUtxMBUYP4FHHeLXlEN_mZJ1HsskdsfVUGBcZCkbqBWgygBkeNat/s320/34+weeks+and+dropping.jpg" width="191" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She sent me this picture as she said she is really feeling pressure right now and I know you can't tell, but she definitely dropped a lot over night. They have her on a close watch as she's had a few minor complications and goes on a weekly basis to her appointments, including now being put on the monitor to make sure he's tolerating everything OK. So can you say we are walking on pins and needles?? Is that enough stress?? Nope, we are moving the kids partially this weekend and next weekend into a new house that will accomodate their growing family. Don't worry, she's been put on strict orders from me she can point and direct people but that's it lol. She so badly wants to nest so hopefully we can help get the nursery together for her :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been getting custom orders on top of everything else so have been completing them and getting them into the mail. I can tell people are starting to get ready for the holiday's lol.</div>
<br />
Here is my latest order.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With all that being said, I need your advice on something. When you love what you do crafting, and you get custom orders, how do you determine how to price things? Any feedback is welcomed my dear friends :)</div>
<br />
Here is something I am working on for little ole me....stay tuned for this one :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well that is exactly how I am feeling right now. Life never slows down and I just keep hitting things head on lol. I've been off work for 3 months now and enjoying every minute. It has given me a little time to regroup and decompress work wise which was well needed I must say. So what has me going all over the place?<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hmm lets see, where to begin. Yes I am still around, just have been busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My DIL had to have surgery so had to help out with 2 of the grandbabies getting them to school and back and things handled around the house for her. My youngest daughter has had a few mild complications with the pregnancy so have been with her having more test ran, on top of trying to get them handled to move in the next few weeks. Good news is all the other test have come back normal so we are thanking the good Lord for that but her bloodpressure is still higher than they want so we're seeing what is going on with that and the next step. In the meantime I am interviewing for a new job position so see, lots going on and I need a vacation lol. </div>
<br />
So what makes me slow down and relax????<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Getting to see this precious gift...this is a picture of Carson Roe. He is 28 weeks here and we can't wait to meet this little one.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7cUKv8mBZPjuACrz6CoN_Xnsf25rEAg24ZsuQ_CpexbWY5BX_eSnfYfrNyx1fzhlo_hnqAZq1SN0FWkj3mu5B1Wt3IOhclw5hvVXp21fOtiQ86sKgh8-co4UoRb4VPLPDTLojzf4KV14F/s1600/Carson+3d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7cUKv8mBZPjuACrz6CoN_Xnsf25rEAg24ZsuQ_CpexbWY5BX_eSnfYfrNyx1fzhlo_hnqAZq1SN0FWkj3mu5B1Wt3IOhclw5hvVXp21fOtiQ86sKgh8-co4UoRb4VPLPDTLojzf4KV14F/s320/Carson+3d.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've been very busy getting crafts done for his nursery so that also helps me to relax. Here are a few things I've already finished. Carson will not have a typical nursery. Both his parents love the outdoors, as I'm sure if you've been following me know from my past posts, so they want to have his nursery with the outdoors theme. Problem is you can't find things very easily so yes, guess who gets to make them....yes Nana lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well I can't show you everything right now can I so you'll have to stay tuned to see more lol. I think it is time to just settle down for the night, clear out my brain and try to relax and get ready for my interview tomorrow. Pretty peaceful about it as I feel I'm going in and being myself and whatever happens, happens. </div>

It is probably because my plans can change in a heart beat to accomodate everyone elses since I am flexible lol.<br />
<br />
I've been working on projects and my hubby surprised me for our 13th wedding anniversary. Well it isn't until Sunday so I got it a few days early but that's OK with me :) Look at what I got!!! So so excited!!!!<br />

Howdy!! Since we have found out what the next grandbaby will be, I can now start to make his baby blanket. I've made all of my grandkids a crocheted blanket, along with all our nieces which has been fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here was Carissa at 20 weeks and we had just found out the day before that we have a little boy coming into the family and we are all very excited.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a great shot of Carson. He is perfect in every way and they said he is a healthy little guy so my birthday wish was fulfilled. Yes, we found out on my actual birthday and that is the best present I've ever had.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the hat that I've finished. The color is showing brighter in the picture and the specs are actually more subtle but it is so soft and will be perfect for him as he is due in December.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So other than working on his blanket now also, I am finishing up my redo's of our bathrooms. I'm thinking that I need to paint the walls in the main bath as it is pretty darn bright with the yellow that is in there so we'll have to see but I'll give you a little sneak peek on the color that I'm loving........ stay tuned lol.</div>

Howdy!! I hope that all of you are having a wonderful start to your 3 day weekend. We are just staying home this weekend and taking it easy. It will give me a little time to hopefully get some outside painting done on the decks lol. We'll see how the weather cooperates.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been just cruising around doing all kinds of different projects and enjoying myself. Here are two diaper projects I made that will be centerpieces for Carissa's babyshower next month. I've never done these kinds but think they turned out adoreable!! The theme is "outdoor" so think these fit quiet nicely. What do you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have all kinds of hidden treasures throughout these pieces so she's going to have to go through the wheels and everything to find them. This is his first bear that is included on this 4x4 :)</div>
<br />

Good evening :) I've been working on a few projects that is for my new grandson's nursery. His Mom sent me a few ideas so I figured out what, when and how and off I went.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both of Carson's parents love the outdoors and anything to do with it so he will have no choice but to adjust and learn to love it also lol. They are so cute as they sat down, went through things and decided what they wanted the nursery to look like, what colors and the theme they wanted to do. Brandon also makes customized fishing rods and Carson will have one waiting for him when he's born with his name on it and everything. So cute :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So are you curious as to what I've been doing for it? Think wood lol. Carissa had been surfing for ideas about wall hangings and she sent me this saying. I got out one of my boards I had, my wood burning pen, my vinyl and cartridge and this is what I came up with. It is all done except I have to put the hanger on the back. Cute huh :)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTlGzOcxgRhHbfvf_nTbZ_a4iLQ9rhNWoXvRcED4iTY_iIWJ9bNWna71sVmrGhNmHt1nxxtQDY5X3AfqY8I4anNwws7YF-51PEPmPQRkeHEsJYWre1Lo8x4EKTyqDo8IQXoJgtKkUBDP3V/s1600/Carsons+bedroom+sign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTlGzOcxgRhHbfvf_nTbZ_a4iLQ9rhNWoXvRcED4iTY_iIWJ9bNWna71sVmrGhNmHt1nxxtQDY5X3AfqY8I4anNwws7YF-51PEPmPQRkeHEsJYWre1Lo8x4EKTyqDo8IQXoJgtKkUBDP3V/s320/Carsons+bedroom+sign.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
When they found out that Carson was going to be a boy back on the 8th, she had seen a frame with this on it so I thought why not incorporate the vinyl and wood into a little frame that holds his ultrasound picture. Love how they both turned out actually :)</div>

No I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I have just been busy working on lots of projects around the house. Things that have been put off for months, if not even years lol.<br />
<br />
I started off last week by pressure washing the entire house, 3 decks and the driveway. It was crazy and took me a few days but it looks so nice and besides, what else do you do in 90+ degree weather right? Yes call me crazy.<br />
<br />
Since I've been laid off work for the past 2 months, and enjoying it I might add lol, I've also got a lot organized. My hubby had this little computer desk for one of his play computers (he works at Microsoft and is always writing scripts) but it was getting too dusty as the cat box is in the same room, or should I say it was. He moved it into one of the other rooms and he gave me the cart so I can move it where I want when I'm crafting. I thought that was a great idea too so off to the store I went to get more storage. You can never have enough containers right? Out came the label maker :)<br />

I hope that all of you are having a fabulous weekend so far. I've been taking it easy today as I've been doing heavy duty cleaning in our master bathroom and redoing some things. Kind of tired lol.<br />
<br />
Last weekend I was able to get away to the beach with a girlfriend of mine last weekend and we had a wonderful time. I wish I had a home there so I could just enjoy it day to day. We were fortunate to use a friends home and it was cute as all get out.<br />

Well think that is enough for now as I don't want to bore you with too many pictures as we took tons!! It is so nice even to just get away for a few days and think we all should do it more often. I was amazed on how I still feel so relaxed and peaceful. This trip started me on a re-do for both of my bathrooms. I've got a new color I'm loving so stay tuned lol.</div>

He is due December 27th and his name will be Carson Roe. We can't wait and since I found this out on my birthday, maybe he'll give Nana an early Christmas present and be here before Christmas.....hmmmmm. We couldn't be more excited for the kids and know that this blessing is a true gift from above. Carson is healthy from head to toe and all his genetic testing came back perfect. So can today get any better???</div>
<br />
Nope!!!<br />

Howdy! Well after working by myself I "FINALLY" finished all the floor and got everything moved back into the room. It was a lot of work but definitely so worth it. I loved how it turned out and I'm back in there crafting away now lol. So lets do a little recap on where we started.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below is the "before" and I had pretty much removed a lot of the furniture when I took these. Yucky nasty carpet!! I decided I was even going to wash the curtains too. I figured hey, if I'm going to do it, do it right :)</div>

The the ripping and tearing began and with each piece, I was so glad to get that out of there. It has been in our house for 10 years and it was only 5 year carpet and it was destroyed trust me.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once I got all of the carpet out and tack strips up, cleaned it really good and got it prepped, the transformation started.</div>

Stay tuned for the reveal on my birthday, August 8th! You can't receive any better birthday present than being there to find out first hand what this little sweetie will be. Once I find out, I will put the date on the "correct" block I made with the date and it will go into her memory journey I'm doing for her.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just wanted to give you an update that I was able to pick up the flooring today and I started to lay it and after 2 hours, I got this much done. I was taking my time as I really wanted to make sure that I got it just right and I can honestly say I'm loving it!! </div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The one thing I did find out is that one of the walls isn't square so there is a little gap but that will be covered by trim so not worried about that lol. Amazing what carpet will hide huh hahahaha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I will be working on finishing the flooring in the next day or two so stay tuned for the finished product. When the hubby came home he inspected it and said he was very impressed :) Kind of proud of myself too ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The one draw back to getting everything moved out was the hubby hurt his back helping move the large file cabinet so he's hurting a little tonight :/ Guess all my workouts have helped me as I'm not feeling to sore at all :)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Howdy!! Well being laid off work has it's advantages as I am taking the time to go to the gym and work out 5x's a week, watching what I'm eating and enjoying now really having a schedule to follow lol. Hmmmm wonder how long I can get away with this with the hubby?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I decided to FINALLY rip out the old nasty carpet in our family room. I just couldn't stand it anymore. It was cheap carpet and the animals had destroyed it and no matter what I did I couldn't get them clean enough so I said now is the perfect time to do it :) It took me 5 hours to get it all ripped out along with the pad and then had to get the staples and tack strips off. I also sanded it all down to make sure that it was all smooth with nothing sticking up to show through the flooring when I lay it. Yes I said when "I" lay it. Yes this is my biggest project yet and I'm very excited. I've picked out the floor planks (using the vinyl ones) and pick them up tomorrow as they didn't have them in stock at the store I went too closer to me.</div>
<br />

So what did I start out with? K get ready and I'll warn you now, it isn't pretty hahahahaha. We did however get our money's worth since it was only 5 year carpet and we've been in the house going on 11 yrs lol.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I got everything out of there except for the exercise bike as I couldn't move it far by myself and the way out house is laid out, I'm going to have to work on the floor and when I get far enough, move it back lol. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started ripping things in sections and figured it would make it easier to roll the old carpet up and that way it wouldn't feel so overwhelming to me. Yes, that's my story and I'm sticking too it hahaha. But seriously, it did work out great as I was able to just roll it up in about 5' sections. Easier to dispose of that way. This was the first strip gone.......</div>

And it just kept coming and coming until finally I got it all done :) Tomorrow I will pick it up and won't be laying it tomorrow as I'm definitely going to have to let my poor old body rest in between lol so stay tuned for the final outcome.....wish me luck as I've NEVER done this before :)</div>

What a wonderful day today! I am trying to take some time off work inbetween jobs to get some things done around the house and to also spend some time with family. Today I had promised one of my granddaughters that we would go out and do something fun and special, just the two of us. Having 6 grandkids, and the ages they are now I try to do one on one time with them too and that is exactly what today way.<br />
<br />
I had my physical therapy this morning and then after I finished that, it was off to go pick up Bailey. She is the next to the oldest of our grandkids.<br />

First stop, we of course needed some energy to get ready for our fun afternoon. It was a beautiful day here in the PNW and got up into the upper 70's so it was perfect. We went to lunch at this cute little hole in the wall and had the best sandwiches I've had in quite some time. Once we finished there, off to all the cute quaint old shops there in town.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bailey was enjoying all the porcelain dolls and antique carriages.</div>

Back to the ceramic pieces lol....this was Bailey's piece she painted and then I outlined the black for her and sealed it. She loves to do crafts with Nana as it is a great stress reliever she says. Ahhhh a girl after my own heart :) She did a great job and was very proud of her!!</div>

Happy Sunday!! I hope that all of you have had a great weekend so far and enjoying yourself. I know I have been relaxing and having a great one so far. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday I was able to go out and meet two girlfriends, mind you neither of them had met each other before and we had so much fun chatting away, it was like we've all known each other for years. We laughed, they got to know each other a little more and before we knew it, almost 4 hours had passed that we were sitting in the sports bar and munching on food lol. And mind you, there was no alcohol drank either lol. So that is when you know you're having fun. It was great being inside as we had quite the nasty storm come through. By the end of our visit though it had cleared off and was sunny out. The strangest weather huh????</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I'm still working on my frame so you'll have to just wait a little longer on that one. I am just relaxing and doing things little by little. I will see what this week holds for me on the job force so keep positive thoughts coming. I still, even if I do get this new one, want to take a week or two off and just relax so wish me luck.</div>

Happy Saturday!!! I hope that all of you are having a wonderful weekend so far and enjoying each and every minute. Today here in the PNW we've got overcast and it is much cooler so think it is time to do some inside crafting. My overall goal is to relax and have some fun this weekend to clear my mind out so that I can have fresh beginnings come Monday :) I'll also be meeting a few girlfriends today so watch out world hahaha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what are a few things I'm doing? Well I won't give you the answers but I will show you some hints :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First off, these are all quick and simple crafts but something I've been wanting to do. You see with having some issues with my muscles not relaxing the way they should lately, I have to do shorter bouts of crafting until I get them to cooperate again lol.</div>

Wow, here it is only Wednesday and I really want this week to be overwith. A lot has happened work wise these past few weeks and have you ever been somewhere that you really felt you shouldn't be? Well even though I was at this job for only a little over 3 months, from about 2 weeks in I felt something wasn't right. I know all companies run differently but there are certain things that my Mom and Dad taught me and that was to be honest, treat people how you want to be treated and always be true to yourself. Don't change who you are. So what do you think happened?????<br />
<br />Friday is my last day at work as I was told my position was eliminated, which I found out later that day was a lie so I am very thankful that I will be totally done as of Friday. It is time for me to be out of that negative atmosphere and find something meant for me so I'm excited to find my next journey :) Thank goodness that I haven't had to be in the office and have been able to finish things up from home.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I met a girlfriend of mine and the weather was beautiful so we sat outside and drank our coffee in front of a gas fireplace at one of the strip malls and just talked about things, yes she did work there also until last Friday (see a pattern developing???) It was good for both of us to just put things on the table and leave them there and we both are glad we are done with that :) Negativity is so draining.....so not worth it.<br />

I had made this wood frame a week or so ago and wasn't sure if I was going to put a picture on it or what. but after this week, I decided to put some vinyl on it with my integrity motto and I absolutely love it! Here was the "during stage"....<br />

Don't ever be someone that you're not. Always treat others with respect and how you want to be treated and stay true to who you are. Life is too short to please others....you have to be you :)<br />

<strong><em>Happy Father's Day</em></strong> to all you wonderful men who have taken the time to be caring, guiding and a role model to shape us into who we are today. Even though I lost Dad 1 1/2 years ago (wow has the time flown by), I think of him daily and all the wonderful things he taught me, things that I've been able to pass onto my children. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had a wonderful day today. Even though Larry isn't the kids biological Dad, he's been in their lives for 16 years and so he's had quite the influence in their lives. His special day started out with a wonderful breakfast. Then Carissa, Brandon and "piglet" (that is the babies nickname as we don't know the gender yet) came by and shortly after that Josh, Krissy, Braeden and Sydney came by to wish Papa a Happy Father's Day. It is so fun having family around. I laughed as the kids bought this shirt for their Dad and he wore it proudly :) I am very proud of my son. He's grown into a wonderful young man, a wonderful husband and an amazing Dad who lovs his kids with all his heart. </div>

After the kids left, the sun was shining and I'd been being lazy this weekend sitting on my hinney so I decided to get up, get out my sander and get my blocks and wood prepped to start doing decorating so I went outside and sanded away :) Got 2 boxes done and it felt good lol. Then of course it got me going to want to start decorating and since the sun was shining and I want Summer to come and now, yes I am impatient lol I created these :)</div>

Howdy!! I hope that all of you are having a wonderful week so far and either relaxing, spending time with friends and family, crafting or just making memories. The weather around the PNW has been a pretty sunny these past few days which has given me lots of energy to work on things :) Around here, you take advantage of the nice weather when you get it lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Went and got my errands done and I scored a few things so thought I'd show you. I absolutely love this box!! It is a little harder to tell in the picture but it has the tin on the front with the start. Absolutely loving it and it was on sale.....and discounted another 50% so yay!! I couldn't have purchased all the material for what I paid for this trust me so I am a happy girl. It is pretty big actually and at first I thought hmmmm I can put my magazines in there but it's a little too bit I think so I'll have to figure something awesome out for it. Any ideas?? It measures about 12" high x 18" long.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then found this cute plate and I loved the raised starts on it. Not sure if I will put vinyl on it or a candle....so many choices lol.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is one of my projects I did from my wood the other day. I love how it turned out but think I may put some vinyl on it also with a saying. I wanted the staggered look for the edges to give it the look like it was kind of flowing in the air. But hey, it was fun and I am enjoying myself.</div>

Happy Friday!! Wow what a busy week and it sure is feeling great to be back into what I enjoy most and that is my relaxing and doing my crafts!! I have SOOOO many ideas going through my head right now and the question is, can I get to all of them lol. Guess I better write up a "To Do" list so I don't forget. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So one of the things I'd like to do is this. I found it on pinterest and it looks so simple so think I will attempt it :) Isn't that the cutest thing!!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIBuU7exyeASCDmLOvwZT4mIKRsuZ6-B7t35Z5PHAB-E9-m9IGFPkMfuQOJm-G-p8SSiIqsT6wLgv34suUJC_kUQEBUNxkpIREI31qVlQhBYAz8YYwJosv0a9QZAuKL_3gh32ZTO2wZE6f/s1600/Table+centerpiece.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIBuU7exyeASCDmLOvwZT4mIKRsuZ6-B7t35Z5PHAB-E9-m9IGFPkMfuQOJm-G-p8SSiIqsT6wLgv34suUJC_kUQEBUNxkpIREI31qVlQhBYAz8YYwJosv0a9QZAuKL_3gh32ZTO2wZE6f/s320/Table+centerpiece.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
OK so back to what I've been up too lol. With all my wood cut so far, I decided to make up these cute frames. I also found the idea on Pinterest....love that place lol!! This is the idea I found......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sorry for the blurry picture, I think my lens is dirty :( I will clean that and make sure the final product pic is clear I promise.</div>

Well today I think I FINALLY hit my crafting mode again which is a great feeling. I've been battling some stress with having a new job and dealing with my foot issue and physical therapy but today something hit me like a ton of brick. I said nothing should get in the way of what I enjoy and love doing and that is my crafting so I started pulling out my wood I've stock piled and plugged in my table saw and away I went!! </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge_l8qcnDTqpEsGCSGaVajvCrDbK4h1cFeTELtwi4oOsaTjyLdESVBCihmFgpKt_Gj9OVAMNvRp7iaxDkTnNhEppThnb3UUtPMN86P4byQBCuiJNnDT5IIwXF5vs9wdIToeyUPDigKQYNL/s1600/Wood.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge_l8qcnDTqpEsGCSGaVajvCrDbK4h1cFeTELtwi4oOsaTjyLdESVBCihmFgpKt_Gj9OVAMNvRp7iaxDkTnNhEppThnb3UUtPMN86P4byQBCuiJNnDT5IIwXF5vs9wdIToeyUPDigKQYNL/s320/Wood.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">So what is on my agenda with all these wood pieces? Oh lots of things lol. I thought some word blocks, some frames, some holiday items and well, maybe I won't tell you everything. You'll have to just wait and see lol.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">So what else have I been up too? Well I have to confess that my thoughts actually started changing last night as I was sitting here listening to some good ole country music and I was crocheting a cute little hat for a baby shower that I am going to at the end of the month. I sat there and it felt great to shut down the computer, focus on something relaxing and finishing this little hat all within an hour :) The picture doesn't do it any justice but I just couldn't get a good shot of it. The little pink on it is actually the end of the rim which I folded up :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-iEGRCNQFGrDZhIE-07o9CH3wRWz_wpM65mIKoFunnFIdisrQUb1h2lFXr3N1_WnYQQAIVQt8UTMd7RE4r7ig_3u9oa1rNFgvwkvZyCEK-6HtHBz-gr2j-UyBD6Iyl3z4ciplFffxJ-lU/s1600/Baby+hat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-iEGRCNQFGrDZhIE-07o9CH3wRWz_wpM65mIKoFunnFIdisrQUb1h2lFXr3N1_WnYQQAIVQt8UTMd7RE4r7ig_3u9oa1rNFgvwkvZyCEK-6HtHBz-gr2j-UyBD6Iyl3z4ciplFffxJ-lU/s320/Baby+hat.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Well I promise that I won't be away so long this time. It is time for me to get my priorities right and have that work/life balance and do what I enjoy most. That is to make people laugh, enjoy my crafting and cherish my memories we're making with family and friends!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

Wow, where is the time flying to? It was already a year ago that we had just finished Brandon and Carissa's wedding, we had sent them on their honeymoon to Mexico and I was starting to finally slow down. Well I guess time didn't think that it was necessary to slow down. A lot has happened this past year, some good and some not so good but that's life right?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've been dealing with Plantar Fasciitis for the past 3 months and have been physical therapy twice a week for the past month. It is starting to get a little better but I can't be on my feet for very long or it flares up and gets inflammed. You don't realize how important those little feet are until something like this happens. Well things can only get better :)</div><br />
So what exciting news is happening? Well I started a new job 2 1/2 months ago! But no, that isn't the exciting news lol. The newest excitement with the family is .........<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkerz8p6SSTghEK_2CIx8O0V3qic-fv_EWgsMqL-1WsvbvRqoEYp_HAIUJDf0qyTc-jqMplBt-b-afeXnioXkgDRQ-85vGxegOWdH7xKkiRqV12nmZ2zrRB_Tbi9I6B8o-k3htGOiOdR2f/s1600/imagesCAYX80R8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkerz8p6SSTghEK_2CIx8O0V3qic-fv_EWgsMqL-1WsvbvRqoEYp_HAIUJDf0qyTc-jqMplBt-b-afeXnioXkgDRQ-85vGxegOWdH7xKkiRqV12nmZ2zrRB_Tbi9I6B8o-k3htGOiOdR2f/s1600/imagesCAYX80R8.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Yup, #7 grandbaby is on it's way :) Carissa and Brandon are expecting their first little one December 27th, 2012! We are all excited as the youngest grandbaby is 6 yrs old now so we're going to get a baby fix again :) So now I have a few ideas on things I want to work on for the next activity, yup the baby shower. I have some time to get my ideas together since she's only 10 weeks along lol :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well I just wanted to let you know that yes I am still alive and I have been keeping up with reading the blogs, just haven't had time to do much or post anything exciting so I'll be working on that :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I hope that all of you had a wonderful Easter with your family and friends today. Ours was very quiet today as we spend time with our older kids and grandbabies yesterday. We didn't have anything planned but a quiet little ham dinner with just the two of us and then we got a call from Carissa and she asked what we were doing and she said her and her hubby Brandon were coming over to visit. We said OK then :) Well in the door they came and was it just them? No it was their dog Red, and Roger their rabbit lol.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMs4wURYSRONN5J1JU5hZihXpsZrZUcC3s_1gRJzXEOafdQFcrRzA6WOTrxZIY5QVt601MnaDsi2lgrjr98ol_lp3FU49J4uGglJdYw7i3sZXG7Rcr9Mz-LyboKhuP16WiccQ8ehA9HfSP/s1600/IMAG0515.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMs4wURYSRONN5J1JU5hZihXpsZrZUcC3s_1gRJzXEOafdQFcrRzA6WOTrxZIY5QVt601MnaDsi2lgrjr98ol_lp3FU49J4uGglJdYw7i3sZXG7Rcr9Mz-LyboKhuP16WiccQ8ehA9HfSP/s320/IMAG0515.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
This is the first time the Easter bunny actually physically stopped by our house lol. It was a beautiful day here in the PNW and got up to 76 degrees so we were enjoying it and so was Roger. He just roamed in the yard eating any of the long grass he could find.<br />
<br />
