Comin home!
Tomorrow my baby comes home!
She went to Florida with my other daughter last month... after 6 weeks she flies home tomorrow! She is NOT ready to leave there but... what can I say? She has to come home sometime! Next summer, Yahwey willing, she will get to spend another month.
This is her at the ocean.

What kind of music I am!
Well.... this did NOT surprise me!
You Are Country Music |
 You are friendly, down to earth, and fairly conservative. You are true to your friends and your upbringing. Change is hard for you. But beneath your old fashioned attitude, you are expressive and artistic in your own way. Very few people can express pain and pleasure as eloquently as you can. |

Always wear...
Boots while you are splitting wood! And this is after two hours with an ice pack!
I had on sandles.... the wood fell faster than I could move my foot!

Kraftin Kimmie's Challenge
well... I have only done one other sketch challenge... this isn't exactly a sketch challenge so I guess you could say this is the first "challenge" I have done! but when I seen this I knew I just had to do it!
It is from Kraftin Kimmie's Korner
we were to take her book and use it for inspiration! I did... made mine almost exactly like hers! but I really like how the cover came out (I still have to finish the inside of the book)
Sorry about the lighting!

Accordian File box
I found this on someone's blog who is going to be selling it in a "class"... I so wanted to make one... but was thinking about the cost.
Then in my blog reader... I was sooooo excited.... Dannie had posted a link to the instructions!!!! (check out her blog!!!) It ended up not costing me a thing except the supplies of course!!!!!
I want to publicly thank her for posting the link! I know Yahwey used her to give me one of the little desires of my heart!!!! and she blessed me without even knowing it!!!
Here is a link to the site... you have to have a free membership but they have some cool projects!
It is the july 4th episode called "expanding Memories"

Struggling
Well... I have been struggling with Kathy's passing (see last post) and today I got some crushing, devastating news about the health of my oldest (2 1/2 yrs) grandson... I don't want to really go into it right now except to say that the doctors believe he will be completely deaf but years end and could be going blind on top of it (he has been having some issues seeing somethings, which we thought was just depth perception issues)। At least now, after 2 1/2 years testing, they have a diagnosis... good on one hand, because they know what they are dealing with, but very devastating on the other... because of what it is and there is NO treatment... NO cure.
IF you want to read about it here is a link....
http://www.cdc.gov/cmv/signs.html
I forced myself to be creative today to try to pull myself away from just feeling overwhelmed with life... I made 4 cards and a card box... not sure who I am going to give it to or if I will try to sell it (would be my first for cards) anyway, Here they are and TFL.
Box is in center back.

I've been Tagged AGAIN
This tag is different than what I played before...so I will play!
I was tagged twice with this tag...
first by Char and then by Anita, my friend across the water!
The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

Ready, Set, Don't Go!
This has been a "sad" week-end for me....
All of my girls were here... together for the last time, for awhile...
maybe years.
My second to the youngest, the one on the far left,
is moving to Florida with her hubby and one of my grandsons.
She has never been far away...
she is STILL my baby even if she is married and has a baby of her own.
Reminds me of Billy Ray's song...
"Ready, Set, Don't go!!!!!!"
I love you guys... I will miss you horribly...
But I know you must follow Yahwey into your destiny....
I let you go in His hands!
