Lovely display business cards in an old elegant frame.

Oh so romantic! This is the way family Christmas's should be!

I have been planning to reproduce this delightful Christmas decoration from the movie "Happy Christmas, Mrs King" for awhile. Maybe it will be ready for this year's Christmas!

This is Mrs King riding through town in her sleigh...isn't this a divine scene?

Love this scene in the movie "Merry Christmas Mrs.King." This is the mercantile and it looks very much like my own mercantile that my dearest Tim built for me on the back of my home. One acceptation would be the Canadian flags being displayed across the top of the cabinet. I would and have American flags, of course.

Me with 2 clowns I refer to as my grandsons, Isaac and Eli! Last summer at Waterworld.

"In Jesus Name" was the name of this band of wanna be musicians back in the 1970's. Me, on the left front doning a macrame' and red bead chocker, as was popular in the day. I was the female lead singer. We had some fun times practicing songs to sing for different events in little towns in our Northern California area. Other band members: behind me, Carol Miller, behind her, Jerry Walker, ring leader, to right Lynn Johnston, and Terry Witt, my lil bro. We girls had black top hats that we wore when we traveled....wish I still had mine. No idea what I have done with that hat. 

Well, what-do-ya-know....I am posting on my blog for the first time in ages. Here's Willow adorning my new mask. I love this mask with it's "nanny, nanny" stick out your tongue face.

 

Birthday Girl

Today is my oldest daughter, Sarah's, birthday. The photo is from a party she shared with friend, Effie Miller, in Grass Valley back in about 1982. Such a pretty girl. That has not changed over the years, she is still pretty.

Thanksgiving spread

Okay, here's what we had...Turkey, Ham, Yams, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Green Salad, Corn, Cranberry Chutney, Cranberry Jello Salad, Gravy, Rolls, and Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream. Boy, that's alot...but we gotta lot of leftovers. Tyler helps us out by taking home a doggie bag.

Thankgiving -desert time

Here I am with son, Tyler, and husband, Tim. It was a small celebration, but good food and company.

CAKE at Farm Chicks

This large metal and wire cake was the center piece at the Farm Chicks Show last weekend. It was very cool and made me wanna do some metal creations myself! You can only get the jest of how large it was...I only had my hubby's small camera to use. I have lost my battery charger for my camera and had to go with the backup. But it is just not "my camera."

Where Women Create founder & I

Yep, this is me with Jo Packman, the founder of Where Women Create. I bought the book when it came out and have bought every issue of the magazine ever since. I told her I was gonna be in her magazine someday...she said "Send me your information." So whenever I get settled and get to have a studio again I'm gonna do just that! I had to ordered the new book, "Inspiration" since she ran out at the show. But it will come in the mail to me signed by her. BTW, I am not towering over her in the photo, she is sitting down for the book signings.

Carnation & I

Carnation truck that is...this beauty greet us at the front door of the building at Farm Chicks this year. Of course, I had to get my pic taken with it.

Farmchick plate

This plate was on the Carnation truck at Farm Chicks...adoreable.

Rolane from the Vintage Barn

Rolane sold some of my crowns...I forgot to get a picture of them in her booth. I only had a few left and with recently moving it was just not possible to get more made. Rolane's show is coming up in July in Rathdrum, Idaho. Great outdoor show at her farm there. My crowns will be there, providing I can get more made.
