Two more days!

Ok, I don't know how many of you are excited about Thanksgiving but I sure am! I would say it's the best dinner of the whole year! Just think, all the turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce (homemade of course), mashed potatoes with gravy, pies.........wow, what a list! Ok, when we are done there is no doubt we'll be feeling like a "stuffed turkey" that's for sure. We have two houses that we are attending to on Thursday. It's like we'll be on an eating marathon.....yikes! First we're getting together with Scott's kids and then off to some close friends of ours.

It was a lot of fun to have the kids cook for us this year and thank goodnes we did not over due it with the food! Here's a few pictures of the day.

Paper Pumpkins

Here's something fun that I recently made. I brought this over to Linda McClain's house when we had a Stampin Up workshop this month. Linda took a picture of the pumpkins and put it on her blog! Thanks, Linda! Nothing like a little bit of fame!!

Remembering this...

Well, it's pretty late and I've been looking at some pictures I took and put on the computer. Man, did some of them bring back memories like this particular one! I found this little baby as I was watering a container of flowers on the front porch. After a little research we realized what we had was a rat snake, non poisonous! Thank goodness! They are sometimes confused with rattlesnakes. We find all sorts of interesting wildlife here in Texas. (by the way, we let him go...AWAY from the house!)

They're here!

OK, what seemed like an eternity, they've finally arrived...new G1's. Hmm......now to learn how they work. Wow, isn't technology exciting!

October's SU Workshop

Ok, here's a darling card that we made at Linda's house this month. She designed it and when I found out we were making this particular card that afternoon I was thrilled..........oh, how I love that cupcake stamp! Each little cupcake has puffy paint (you heat set this) for it's frosting with a little bit of glitter sprinkled on top! Thanks Linda!

Halloween crafts

Ok, I just had to share some fun things we made at Linda McClain's house. She's a Stampin Up dealer and we have so much fun at her workshops making all sorts of cute things. This is what we made in September!

It's October.....

.....and today is Scott's birthday..............HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONEY!!! I love you!!

Wow, it's already October! I love this time of year especially all the colors of fall and there is something about pumpkins that I love. Maybe it's the color. Down here in Texas the fall is wonderful because of the change in the temperature........IT'S SO MUCH COOLER!! Yes, our summers can be really hot so when fall comes it's a welcomed relief.

I'm really excited for the 25th of this month. We have a ward fall activity planned. Sounds like it will be a lot of fun........really looking forward to it. I hope to post some pictures of the event. Lynn

April Fool's Day!!

Ok, since this is April Fool's Day..............well, I feel like someone is playing a trick on me!! Ha ha! Had a really hard time trying to get into my "blog" ...........couldn't be that I have no idea what I'm doing.........hmmmm!

Well I'm off this afternoon to show a friend of mine the "Cuttlebug" and also the "Bind-it-all" machine........................she's going to want both!

Have a wonderful day............and hope you don't get too many tricks played on you today!!

Starting now.....

Ok world, here's my very first blog! Thought I would start one to have a place to post all my fun little creations when I finish them!
Update: Here's a little box I made for Easter. Has Dove chocolate eggs inside....yummm!
