2010 Christmas Shopping Officially Begins

This Santa "bowled" someone over to officially kick off my 2010 Christmas season.

I'll be sending it on its way to New York on Monday.

Watch for my ad in the Oct./Nov. edition of Country Sampler.

Painting & Grandchildren

Believe me my grandchildren love to paint (the oldest was accepted into her school's art program recently), but MY painting and babysitting is like oil and water...they don't mix!!!

The kiddos have been coming and going all summer.  I've grabbed a few hours of painting time every chance I could. 

Here are a few shots of this weekend's painting effort.

Of course the grandchildren deserve to be shown off also.

Here are some of their vacation photos.

My Luck's Changing...Finally!

My granddaughter and I each won a bottle cap necklace from Dawn at Aunt Dee Dee's Designs.  We'll be watching the mail.  I think granddaughter #2 has her eye on my prize since her sister (granddaughter #1) probably won't share her winnings.

Thanks Dawn.  I know the girls will enjoy your necklaces.
