Fabric Bags

I haven't done any thing remotely crafty in forever. These fabric bags have been the first thing I have made in I don't know how long.

New stove and freezer!

On Saturday I finally decided which stove I wanted. So we ordered it and a new upright freezer. I have been using the same stove since we bought our house 20 years ago, it was used then!

Here is a picture of my new stove that is going to be delivered on September 15. I can't wait!!!

Family Reunion

Over the weekend we went to a family reunion. This is the first time in probably over 20 years that Mike, his brother, and sister were together. I got a great picture of the 3 of them. Then we were able to get some good pictures of all our families. It was fun seeing everyone, just not long enough.

I ended up with a sunburn on my back that is killing me! But boy did Heather have fun lecturing me about wearing sunscreen. I think she has been waiting years to be able to do this! LOL I am always telling her to make sure and wear sunscreen.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend.





I have over 200 pictures from the weekend. So I have plenty to scrapbook! LOL

Sewing and Clouds

I had forgotten how much I love to sew! I made a pair of pillows for my neighbors yesterday and I had a great time. Just a simple project, but it brought back my love of sewing. Now I want to make some more stuff! LOL

Below is a picture of the pillows I made for them. The have just bought a 5th wheel trailer, so I made them as a "trailer warming gift". Joyce is the queen of flamingoes, so when I saw this fabric I couldn't resist it. One side of the pillow is the flamingoes and the other side is striped. I think they turned out really cute.

The clouds were really pretty yesterday. Below is one of the better pictures I was able to get of them.

Finally Done!!!

We started restoring our 1967 Mustang last year. It is finally done! Today, June 3 is the 40th anniversary of the day it originally sold. We restored it back to the original color, Candy Apple Red. Our first car show and cruise with it will be Father's Day weekend.

Hawaii in January!

I just finished booking our trip to Maui in January 2008. I am so excited, neither one of us has ever been to Hawaii. This will be in celebration of our 25th Anniversary. We will be spending 7 nights at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel. Below is an arial view of the hotel. Here is a link to it if you want to see more.

Now that I have the trip all arranged, I need to work on my weight. My goal is to be able to wear a bikini and not be embarrassed! LOL So I have a little bit of work.

Rascal Flatts

On Wednesday, I found out I had won tickets to see Rascal Flatts in concert at the Rose Garden in Portland, OR. It is about 4 1/2 hours from here. So I quickly made plans to travel there. My husband was gracious and told me to take Heather, so it became a mother/daughter weekend. Boy am I exhausted we left at 11:20 a.m. on Friday and got home at 8:oo p.m. Saturday.

The concert was excellent. The opening act was Jason Aldean and he did a great job, but Rascal Flatts was incredible. We had a blast. We could hardly hear a thing afterwards. LOL

We then got up on Saturday and started shopping, I didn't know there were so many malls between Portland and home!!!! I am totally exhausted today. But the weekend was fun. The only bad note was someone barely hit my mirror on my car and scratched it and put a chip in it, oh well could have been worse, they could have hit the whole side. This happened while we were driving, not parked. That was a little bit scary!

"Springboard to Summer"

I'm participating in Creating Pages "Springboard to Summer" Contest. It is a fun 8 week contest, each week we get a new challenge.


Below are my first 3 week's layouts. I have been having a great time scrapping some of Heather's Senior pictures. We were able to buy a CD (with copyright release) with all of them from the photographer (Beyond Images in Medford, OR). Week 1 and 3 are from there, Week 2 is one of my pictures that I took at Lithia Park in Ashland OR.

Week 3

The challenge was to use a Transparency.

Week 2
The challenge was to use paint.

Week 1

The challenge was to use 3 different shapes, that weren't square or rectangular.
