I finally got some things Listed to eBay

After a very busy summer (so far) I finally got some things listed on eBay. Hope you have a minute to stop by and take a peek at the latest treasures.

Special Order For Michelle

Well I finished up the Sewing Chair that Michelle sent me for a NW Pretties make-over. I thought I'd share it with all of you! Hope she loves it!

Sweet Eddie

Here's a Cool Picture of Eddie, our Chow Chow trying to stay cool on these hot summer Seattle days!

"DOG hiding in bush... KNOWS you're there! "

He's a sweetheart.

Remembering days gone by.

The roar of the Blue Angel’s jets after-burners are rumbling through the skies today. It’s Sea-Fair in Seattle. Hydro Planes ~ Blue Angels, etc… Port Orchard must be like their U turn zone or something! Reminds me of the days I would climb to the top of mom’s roof (in Sunnyvale, CA) and watch them practice out at NAS Moffett Field, Sunnyvale and directly over our heads as they would Maneuver over the Valley.

Remembering Days Gone By.

On July 1, 1994, NAS Moffett Field was closed as a naval air station and turned over to the NASA Ames Research Center. NASA Ames now operates the facility as Moffett Federal Airfield.

Smile to the Sound of Music

I came across this video on Katie's blog and had to snag it share too. This is way too much fun and if this is what might happen when riding a train in Belgium than I'm so there☺ I just love how it spreads a little happiness and we could all use more of that, right?

A Sweet Taste of Summer

Straight off the tree from My Garden and into my mouth! Oh these are the BEST! I wish I could share them with you!!

I got my art Cards all Finished up

THEME: Create a card combining Marie with birds, birdcages and/or aviaries. All mediums welcome.

This is a 3 for 3 ATC swap. Your cards must include birds, a birdcage or aviary and be Marie inspired.

This was my first attempt at such a swap and the art on an ATC (Artist Tranding Card) which are made on a playing card size card (or whatever). I was really lucky when I found the deck of vintage scalloped edge playing cards, which are a child's game. I used found images, stamping, vintage metal glitters, crystals and painted roses... not to shabby for my first attempts. I'll keep at it.

I'LL Miss You *~Michael~*

I've always been a fan of Michael Jackson. I grew up with him. He's only 10 months older than I am. My heart goes out to his family! I've lost a brother, I know how completely sad it is. My prayers are with them now.

When I was about 11-12 years old, my girlfriends and I put on a show for our parents, in the garage of our suburban house~ using white sheets as a back-drop, card table folding chairs and picnic table benches for seating. I had a large (probably 4 foot fury purple foot rug that we centered for "stage" appeal. After everyone was seated, (my brother) lifted the needle onto the spinning 45 record and we all set off to pretend to sing and dance to Michael Jackson's "A B C" & "Rockin Robin" songs ....it was quite the show!!! And it has always been a very fond memory of childhood days gone by!!

I'm Back ... Hello, Hello, Hello

I've been off to a busy start this summer!! My brilliant (youngest) daughter, Darby, has graduated with her Bachelor's Degree from: California State University @ San Bernidino, with Honors!! ((I might add)) Way to go Sweetie!! I'm full of pride! Naturally I few down for the celebrations! It was fabulous.

Message of the Day

Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.
