Wonderful World !

I been just wandering around and looking at some wonderful pictures ! It is so amazing where we live and sometimes the beauty is so much you wonder if it can be real.I wanted to share with you some that I found Enjoy!



Nature’s beauty is divine.
Nature is serene.
Sunflower loves sun’s glare.
Flowers’ fragrance fills the air.
Colors being vibgyor and more;
Eyes sparkle and ask for more.
Leaves are green and green.
Autumn sheds all this green.
Between winter and summer swings the spring;
Plants are back in full swing.
Green environment looks awesome.
Flowers bloom and blossom.
Colorful butterfly flirts with flower;
Sprinkling pollens all over.
Swaying leaves look graceful.
Brushing wind sounds peaceful.
Dew drops on leaves and petals glisten and shine.
Oh! Nature, you are divine!

These flowers are real isn't that something !



Soon our colors will be here and I can't wait !

Wonderful Weekend !

Hey all hope you all had a GREAT weekend !! Mine was nice the weather was beautiful,so we took advantage of it and hit the mountains ! The signs of fall tipped the tops of trees and the hint of Autumn was in the air.The clouds this year had been fabulous,it is as if you can reach out and touch them.

As we drove through town we found the perfect chair for the porch only problem is I don't think it will fit.Not to mention how would we get it home YIKES!


I have put my new pieces on for ya enjoy ! and as always I look forward to your comment . Well Wishes !

Friday Funny !!

HOO BOY ! I'm glad it is Friday, this week just flew by but I look forward to a long fun filled weekend .I'm also feeling a little silly today ,so I thought I would share the feeling !
If you think your having a bad day just think what this poor kid must be going through he is being eaten by a giant bun! Yikes !!


I would say this next picture would fall under, I hate it when this happens !


As time goes by things sure do change .Places don't look the same and the to some the years can be cruel,even a super hero can't escape change .


Even Wonder Woman couldn't run fast enough !

This last one is just plain funny! At least he won't have to pull over or stop at a rest area.

Special flower !

It has been a busy few days but I did have time to stop and smell the flowers ! Of course I didn't get too close I didn't want to get poked in the nose !
The last hot day did the trick and brought out this lovely gal . Every time it flowers it is very special, it like a visit from my grandma ,she is the one that gave me this cactus, and it only flowers when the summer is real hot. So when it shows it's flower I feel like she is stopping by for a visit.She loved all the worlds flowers and plants. Amazing that something so beautiful can come out of something so plain.
I've been busy getting things ready for my next party and the holiday shopping season it has begun ! Here is some of what I have been working on . I hope you enjoy them.

TA DAH !!!!

It took awhile but here she is , MOOING MAYBELLE ! she all dressed up for the county fair ,she even wore her best bow!! She just wanted to stop by and visit a spell before she was on her way!

I had a good time with this one,she was fun to put together . Who knows what will come out of the paper clay package next we can only wait and see !! You all have a great week !

Sunny Day !!

What a wonderful day ,we couldn't ask for more !! It is a great day to run away,where would you all go ??

I think I would pick some place peaceful and green ! I think I'll go here please forward my mail !

Take a moment and enjoy the day ,lay back and take in the clouds !
Our days are numbered soon that fluffy white stuff will be here !! YIKES !

A PRAYER REQUEST

It is a sad day for a friend of mine ,He lost his best friend to a long battle with cancer. I ask you please to pray with me ask our lord to to welcome Richard into heaven. To help his family and friends to have faith and to find strength and peace knowing he no longer suffers.
~ Psalm 23 ~
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside still waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness,
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup run nth over.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

~ Amen ~

Just Sharing !

I hope everyone had a great weekend just like the one I had ! I got to wake to beauty and quite .We spent the day yesterday ,enjoying Gods great earth and the beautiful weather . Enjoy the pictures !!

Happy week to you all, try to smile and face the week head on ,I'll do my best !

Busy as a bee !

Busy ! Busy ! I've been working on all kinds of things I'm waiting for my fingers to drop off ! lol. I always wonder how many other people are like me no matter how tired I get or what is going on in my life I can't seem to sit still. I always have to have something to do .No matter what ,making jewelry or sewing working on my paper clay projects painting , I get restless if my hands are idol.I guess that is why I always have something going on, even in my sleep !When I wake one of the first things I do is write down what I was dreaming of so I can work on it later . It probably isn't good to have my brain in overdrive all the while.I find that my most creative time is real late when everyone is asleep.That could be why I'm tired a lot !I just do better in the dark hours,could that mean I'm a creature of the night,OH NO ! I better give up garlic then !!
I wonder if the sliver I got in my finger will be a problem ?? lol !!

I posted some new pieces I hope ya like them ,more on there way this weekend ,and someone is here for a sneak peek ,just another step in the paperclay party! WOO HOO we'll be back!

I've been busy making new pieces and working on my paper clay project.Just a sneak peek for ya !

If I wasn't busy enough I've started something new. I had a lot of scrap material around and made up a block,I liked the way it came out so now I'm doing a new blanket for my bed .It will be nice for the cold weather that is on it's way. It will be nice to snuggle down and keep the chill off our cheeks if you know what I mean !!

I can see it all now ,I'll post a picture when it is done !
In closing I ask all of you to say a special prayer for my friend congetta she is going through a real hard time now and can use all the prayers she can get .I pray that God guides her during this time and give her the strength she needs to see it through . Amen

Here is the little beauty!,and it is already in the works,it reminds me of when I played with paper dolls and I could believe that they still make them ,I found these the other day.

Are we sure we are going in the right direction with all our modern gadgets, our kids are loosing there imaginations, it is sad to see!

Blast from the past!

The other day I was looking online and stumbled across some old clips from TV shows I watched as a kid.I couldn't helped to laugh and when you hear the music you can't help to sing along!
Or what about the sea monster, Shello!
When you think of how simple things were back then compared to what they show on TV now .It is scary to be a kid now a days.
When I look at these things and laugh I tell my son come here and look at this he gives me a look like I'm crazy .It is the same look I know I gave my mother way back when!Nothing like getting older,kick back and enjoy every moment.

Boilermaker Sunday!

What a great day for a race,we had another great Boilermaker Road Race .Everyone day a great time and all the runners get a BIG hand !! It is a hard race to run and they had good weather for it this time around .As usual there were some funny dressed up runners that makes the race all the more enjoyable for all .Great Job to you all !

A visit from God!

My son was in the yard yesterday and took these beautiful pictures ,he came in quick to show me .He said doesn't it look like God is coming down from heaven ,and by Jove he is right Great job Son !!

I'm glad the Lord had time to stop by ! Amen

Sunday in the sun !

The beginning of the path and here's a rock I would like to see someone try to skip! Honey I don't think you can pick that one up !This is how we started our adventure today .


taking the trail down was a great a treat in it's self each step was filled with wonderful beauty. We enjoyed just taking in all we saw and heard . The sound of the water rushing over the rocks was very peaceful.The birds filling the air with song.The breeze making the leaves of the trees make their own kind of music.


How can we not be grateful ,just look at this beautiful sight! A short ride up the hill and we found paradise.So tempting we wanted to jump in but there were signs posted no swimming,what a bummer.


We ended our wonderful day with a nice view of the clouds watching them float by as we enjoy the quite.You can loose yourself in those wonderful fluffly parts of heaven.

Enjoying life!

What a wonderful day we had I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy it as much as we did. We spent the day up in the north counrty,Pulaski! The weather and the day were perfect.


The water was nice and fishin was great, as you can see my hubby caught himself a good one.We pratice the catch and release program in our home .Just so they can grow and be caught another day,bet the fish were glad of that !!


The view was breath taking and so peaceful ,I could have stayed there for ever,if given a choice.

As you can see we were'nt the only ones who had the chance to enjoy the water and Gods great gift.
After spending most of the morning by the water we went into town,stoped at our favorite gift shop and then had lunch with a few friends.

I think there main diet is french fries the whole flock would follow you anywhere for just one.Everytime I see that all I can think of is the Disney movie Finding Nemo,when all the seagulls say the whole time is Mine,Mine .If you think of that then watch the way they act it is all so true !!Enjoy the rest of your weekend and be safe.

Happy Fourth !

Happy Fourth everyone ! Let us all enjoy our freedom and give thanks to those who fight so that we my keep. Add all of them to our prayers and wish them safe return to there families.

My God how little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possesion of,and which no other people on earth enjoy.

Jummpin for Joy!

Well the show was a smash hit,HOORAY! All the ladies were have a great time as well as I. It was a joy to watch them and how excited they were at all the choices they had . I brought my Mom and niece along to help out . Whew! good thing I did We weren't even finished setting up when the ladies stormed the gates!As they all left they kept asking when I was coming back.So, I booked another show for them in the fall it will give me time to reload for them ! lol I didn't really expect that kind of reaction I was thinking oh I do the usual a few sales but they took a big chuck out of my inventory . So I had to hit the craft store and I will be shopping on line for new beads this weekend I'll be busy again for awhile ,and I don't mind it at all !
I got more paper clay I've got the itch to play in the clay again so I'll let ya know what I come up with
