Goddess Dollz ornaments

I made Christmas ornaments for my favorite girls this year.  As usual,  this idea came to me in the middle of the night so that I could spend every waking moment up to the party deadline finishing them! I showed up a half hour late, covered in glitter with the glue still drying, but they turned out pretty cool.

Something shiny-new blog endeavor

check out a new blog I've started and follow if you find it interesting

and now back to our regularly scheduled...

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything!  My excuse(s) are summertime and working a lot.  Quite frankly, if there is a choice between pool time and anything else...it's pool time every time! 

I had the best summer on record this year: made a little more money than usual and reconnected with old friends and found some really fun new ones too! 

Now that things have slowed a bit, I was trying to figure out a clever way to jump back into blogging and I think I may have hit on it.  See if you can figure out what I'm trying to say.

It was a beautiful and hectic summer, so I got a little 

on my blogging. 

Now that the

is closed,

I can get back on

and

on my blogging

A clever idea...

...blatantly stolen from the Naples Botanical Gardens! 

My parents own a condo in Naples, FLA and we usually go visit over Spring break.  This year was no exception.  My mom volunteers at the Naples Botanical Gardens as a docent (http://www.naplesgarden.org/) so we went through their beautiful gardens.  In the children's garden they had what I  thought was a cute and clever use for old purses...

I took a picture of them knowing that at some point I would totally rip off the idea and use at home!  I found a couple of purses at the local ARC Thrift Store and here is my version:

This is right after I potted them.

and this is where they ended up hanging-one of the front porch,

and one on the back deck

I thought they turned out so good, I'm going to make many more! 

Note to self: use potting soil because real dirt gets REAL heavy!

Greeley Stampede - 10 days of fun!

Whew!  The Greeley Stampede finished up on July 4th with a monsoon during the Gloriana show and fireworks postponed until Monday July 5th...what a ride! Here are the rest of the highlights from our 10 days 'living" at the Stampede:

my son and his friends brought food to get a break on wrist band night at the carnival.
