It's a BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Twelve years ago today at 3:55 pm I gave birth to my wonderful, beautiful, creative, intelligent daughter. Up till then I had two rough and tumble boys, and boy was I in for a change. Pink, dresses, ribbons, pigtails, painted toenails, tea parties, dollies, with dump trucks, pink camo, and dirt under those nails, has blossomed into  my young lady .....

Why all this......because I wound not have it any other way. The balance in the house with two big brothers watching over her, and her coming into her own self....Sometimes I find myself just sitting back and watching her and the boys grow and mature into wonderful, strong healthy young adults. I just love the ages of my children right now......Ok now I'm getting all sappy..........

Well, back to the party stuff..

Her cake...........

It's an ice cream sandwich cake. The best when its 100 degrees out..lol

The car packed with carnival games....

Her carnival party.........

We also had, tic tac toe, a putting green, coke bottle toss, bozo buckets, and many other games.

We also had a cotton candy machine.......

That would be Gamma with her mad cotton candy skills......

We had so much!

 Yummo!  It was soooooo goood, and we had soooo much fun making it!

A big thank you to my ma, and brother for all their help...

Not to mention the boys and hubby for unloading and setting it all up, and reloading it all.

Ta ta till next time...

It's been so long.......

Where has the time gone? So little time and so many to doings.......Between working, camping, fishing, crocheting, etc......I have not been able to find the time to post..

We had a wonderful holiday on the 4th of July. Lots of good food, good people and good fireworks. Unfortunately my pictures of the fireworks didn't turn out.

But I do have this lovely photo of what happens if you don't practice firework safety........

I was hit in the leg form  a house down and over one, by an illegal firework. it was a pop bottle rocket that got me..............

This photo is a week and a half later, so you can see it got me pretty good...

We've been camping and just out at the lake a lot enjoying the weather.  Those pictures will come later.

Here's my newest project.......

My nephew wanted Husker colors for his blanky.........

This is what I have done so far, can't wait to get it done, because it's getting way to hot to be under an afghan!

Well, sorry for such a short post,

Ta ta till next time......

Market Bag.....

Hello all! I have survived my first 3 day in row stint at work. The day shift is definitely different than the night shift, at least it's a lot brighter. I'm used to functioning in dark patient rooms and halls, not the blazing sun rooms of the afternoon...lol! I've even managed to find time after work to start some projects......

Remember this......

It's now becoming.......

A lovely market bag........so excited to how it turns out..........

I did some flower arranging today.....wanna see????

Aren't they just beautiful? 

This is only part of my teapot collection........

Lil M likes this picture best, cuz it looks like a row of elephant trunks...ha ha!

On the way to get fireworks, which are legal for the first time even here, I caught a little bit of what I call God's light.......

Well, off to start some serous cooking for the festivities tomorrow.....

Ta ta till next time.....
