Repurposing dresser

Got to find time to finish taking apart the dresser, sand it, reliant it, get shelves cut painted and put in, and take it to the new room.

What a week.

Game day at my house

Christmas party at the river

This past weekend we had our Christmas party at the river. We played dirty Santa and then some of us went to my porch for karaoke.

Newspaper Christmas party

We had a ball. Well, Shelia, Donald, and I did anyway.

New wreath

I was inspired by a wreath I saw at a flea market and decided to make my own. Love it. It will go on my door at camp when I get the door painted.

Farley the elf arrives

I ordered the grands an elf on the shelf from Santa, his name is Farley. Farley wanted to have an arrival celebration for the kids so he came to my house first so I could cook for him. Kate and Kamden were so excited. Karson is only 7 months old so he is excited with all the attention he gets. Uncle Alex aka Bubba to the grands got a new motorcycle so Poppy took the kids to the shed to see it. While they were gone Farley left. Kate looked all over the house for him. He showed up at their house the next morning

Family photo

Thanksgiving morning we have breakfast at my husbands dads. Everyone attended so I made them go outside for a family photo. He is a farmer so we went to the equipment shed for our photo on the cotton picker. This picture is of my father-in-law, his sons, grand kids and great grands with no outlaws. Lol. The tall guy on the left belongs to me. Beside him is our daughter and our 2 boys are at the top of the cotton picker.

Grands help put up tree

Had my two oldest grandchildren here thought they were going to spend the night with me. I had ice cream, popcorn, candy, movies, and games ready. They wanted to put up my Christmas tree. We liked one strand of lights having enough colored lights to finish the tree so we ran to the store. One hour later we had a box of lights and they both had a little happy. Kamden just couldn't find what he wanted. We got back home and they wanted to go home. So much for spending the night. Lol

Shutterfly party

I had a shutterfly party from house party. Got together with some friends and family. Taught them how to upload photos to shutterfly to make a photo book and 15 got coupon codes to make a free book.

It's been crazy

The last few months have been so crazy for me. Trying to get the room finished at camp, basketball games , photos, and of course Christmas shopping and crafting. I kept forgetting to take pics of the stuff I was crafting and the room progress. I will have to do better. Here is the room. Not quite finished but almost there.

I am behind!

It seems I am more than a little behind. Last week made a quilt top waiting for mr friend to get it quilted then I will post a pic of it. I have had a couple photo shoots besides sports and granddaughters early birthday party so I have really been a busy bee.

I have made a couple of photo items. Fixed a shirt and photo for a friends birthday. Made some valances for another friend. Took a motorcycle ride and watch a redneck pull put tiny pliers to crack crab legs. Gotta love the things you see in the south. :)

Now "Got Things To Do"

Snow family

This is what I made with the wood blocks I painted white. I crocheted each a hat and scarf and painted an orange nose. Glued on two google eyes. Presto a snowman family.

Now, "Got Things To Do"

Party on the porch

Last night after the Bama game: Roll Tide!!!! We had a porch full that wanted to do a little karaoke so that is just what we did. The pictures are of a couple of our guy friends singing.

Getting ready for Halloween

I started off the day feeling a little creative. So i got the hubby involved cutting some wood for me. I painted some white and some black. For what you ask? You will find out a little later. ;)

My friend, Margaret, and I have taken the afternoon doing some preparations for Halloween. We made witches brooms and got dead limbs for us a Halloween tree.
