A NEW YEAR!!!

Some personal information.  The last several months have been a blur.  My husband Grandfather whom I care for got REALLY sick at Christmas a year ago and had heart surgery and we had to put him in a nursing home.  Whiched we visited everyday.  He has been in out of hospital since.  He past away December 22, 2010. The day before he said his goodbyes. Which we didn't know it at the time. We thought he was getting better.  It was sad but we know he's not suffering anymore. We had his furneral Monday with a military service.  He recieved a purple heart metal with several others for being wounded in WWII.  So, on the day of Christmas Eve, I panicked.. MY home was a WRECK!! Family was coming, Friends were visiting because of our loss.  I started surface cleaning. Just piling everything in baskets then putting them in my "Creative Playground" (craftroom). I so dreaded to go in there, but longed to CREATE! But couldn't until I cleaned it up, I couldn't even walk in there.
So I bit the bullet and worked nonstop for 5 hours and finally got it presentable.

That totally INSPIRES me.. I CREATed for while. I 'll post pictures in a little while.

I have several goals this year, but the main one is..CREATE....

Many Blessings!

The Parade Festival

I've always wanted to do a craft show, so I done a local festival we have every year, all the local people come out and celebrate the event.  Me and one of my dearest friends decided to get together and do it. I am so glad we did. I got to see alot of people and friends, family.  And the results of how everyone reacted to my pillowcase dresses were EXCITING!!!  I took some pictures of our little booth.  The next one will be done different, but we will twick it as we go..


 My daughter made some cookies and cupcakes we gave out to all the kiddos.. She loves to bake..And they were so yummy...





It was a FUN, FUN day.. We really enjoyed it.. I sure was tired when I got home..  So I know now what I will work on and devote my time on..
