I went to the store to get necessities and there it was, cute toliet paper...

I am enjoying making these, but I think I need a beach house now. (in my dreams)

Pink Saturday...

Well they are pink...
poor little ugly things...

their mommie is so proud...

and beautiful!!!!!!

Isn't she gorgeous!!! Funny how they start off so ugly. Have a wonderful weekend and be sure to go by Beverlys and visit all the wonderful Pink Saturday posts.

What I have been working on...

I bought some shells, coral and some starfish when we went to the beach, so I thought I would make some altered bottles. I really should be cleaning but, well, yuk!!!

So Sad...

School started today....
annual picture for first day of school...

and their off...

It's so sad another year that will fly by... I guess I will clean the kitchen and maybe go treasure hunting. It is so fast how each year they grow.

Outdoor Wednesday...

Okay, its a bad picture but I took as we were driving... It really says "Welcome to Shaver Lake"
Isn't this sitting area beautiful...

They are made from logs...

and shaped with a chainsaw...

what a talented man...

the view from the deck outside the house we rented...

at the lake a big nest in a dead tree, we never saw who made it...

the lake is so beautiful...and fun...

of course I found a cute shop, the town probably only has 15 buildings...

cute garden area...

this was inside the store, the floor of this room is pea gravel...

We had a really good time, it was 105 in our town, so being in the mountains was sooooo much cooler. We have never stayed here, but I think we might just have to go back. Thank you for visiting me and be sure to hop over to visit our generous host Susan and all the other Outdoor Wednesday participents.

New items...

I just finished some organza roses...

I put a piece of vintage jewelry in the middle, the backs have a pin so you can adorn almost anything your heart desires. I then attached it to a coffee stained hand stamped tag. with seam binding ribbon. I thought that way it would make a pretty gift tag. I will be listing these in my shop.

Yuk...

Okay, pull it already!!!!

I'm back

Whew am I tired! We had a fun time and it was cooler up there in the mountains compared to the valley. I took lots of pictures, I will be posting those for Outdoor Wednesday. There was one cute store and she had this vintage dress form with charms on it, so pretty. Now this one is nicer than mine but she had $395.00 for her, ouch!, and it was sold. So I am really feeling good about mine. I got back in time to visit a few people but I still need to make the rounds. Hope you all had a wonderful week.

Going on vacation...

We are leaving tomorro to go to Shaver Lake, we rented a house for the week...so I am coming back from the grocery store and at the end of our drive is my boys(and their friend, who is over so much we call him our other boy). Well my husband told them to clean out the ice chest, there was really old beer in it, so this is how they got rid of it. I guess when you play baseball anything can become a ball. Well they sure did not like the smell or taste (yea).

Have a great week and I will visit everyone when I get back.
