Proud!!

 I'm so proud of my nephew, Jeffrey, who graduation from high school on Tuesday and my niece, Tara, who will graduate from junior high school next Tuesday. They're all grown up now!!

Recycle!

I'm always trying to find new uses for old stuff around here...that's why I had to laugh when I saw Little Bit sleeping inside this old flour bin! I guess she's doing the same thing we are....

One of those days....

Have you ever had "one of those days"??? I had one today! Last week I bought a card for my camera that didn't work with it. When I was leaving, the alarm went off. I showed them the receipt and all was fine. When I brought it back today, I realized after I got there that I didn't have my receipt. When I walked in, the alarm went off. I stood around a minute and no one said anything. I went to the customer service counter and at first she said they couldn't take it back without a receipt, but decided she could. She asked for my drivers license and I remembered that I had stuck it in my back pocket when we went out Saturday night (a rare occasion!) so I handed her my old one. She said she couldn't use an expired one. I remembered I saw my temporary license so I dug it out. It had one day left! I was starting to worry how I'd get out of the store without them thinking I had shoplifted the card!! Anyway, I got my money back on a card and did some shopping. I checked out, scanned my gift card and then realized I was out of checks. I had to ask the lady to hold my stuff until I ran home. Told her it would probably be about 10 minutes. Of course, I got home and couldn't find any checks except two that I started to write and  messed up on. I ordered more checks and went back to wal-mart. My stuff was already at customer service to be put away! So.....you see, I have had one of those days today. I think I need to go home and relax for a while!!

The Tale Of Despereaux

This is one movie I can't wait to see...I am in love with the little characters on the previews! Click on the image above to go to the website and see the trailer....

Snow in Alabama!

It snowed here yesterday....we couldn't believe it! I picked up my nephew at school and it started to snow soon after he got in my truck. He was so excited! He snapped so many pictures on the way home after it started to stick to the ground. He wanted to make snow cream and we put a bowl on the truck to catch snow, but I doubt he will get that much in there. I checked it when I left and they might have been two teaspoons full!! :) But it was pretty to look at. They live on "the  Mountain" (Sand Mountain, that is!) and I live in Scottsboro. It was nice & white when I left, but there was no sign of snow when I got to Scottsboro. Below are a couple of pictures my nephew took of the snow....

 

Tonight I'm in my studio staying warm and working on some papier mache figures...I'm trying to learn some new techniques, so there's no telling how these guys might turn out! :) I bought new fabric for dolls....I spent about an hour & a half at wal-mart trying to get someone to cut fabric for me!! After all that, I haven't even cut the first piece of fabric tonight! I wanted to get the  papier mache guys started so they can dry while I sew!

A few nights ago I was planning to paint a Valentine fairy ....but she ended up being a  Fall Fairy! This is a photo of her before I finished....just a little sneak peek!! I'm planning to list her on ebay yesterday!! Ha....since I didn't make it, I'm planning to get her on there some time this week!! Until then....she is up for grabs. If you are interested, email me at denise@scottsboro.org!

Last but not least.....I wanted to show you a picture of the view from my computer chair tonight...
