Thank You Mrs. Kime!!!! And Crazy Vic ~

My husband and kids were raking leaves tonight, seems like we had alot in our front yard. Crazy Victoria wanted to make a pile and jump in. So I took a few pictures. She actually had a really great time running and jumping into the pile. Look for yourself. Allie however wanted nothing to do with it. Her loss it looks like.

Hello!!!!!!

Oh the thrill of the jump................................

Ouch!!!! Head first, did I really want to land that way????????? Going for another try...... WOO HOO this is fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was fun, can I go again mom?????

Actually it was cold by that time and we went inside, but she had fun while it lasted....


A teacher at my school who also just happened to be both my girls 3rd grade teacher ordered 6 pairs of black fingerless gloves from me, with a possible order of more. Wow, I have to tell you this came at a great time. I was getting nervous as to how I was going to pay for Christmas gifts and this will really help. Plus I love her as do my kids. She is such a beautiful person and awesome teacher!!!!

Look how I packaged them ~ This was genius if I do say so myself.

They each went into a black and white box. The tissue paper was white with different colored glitter which I thought was festive. The gloves were folded and placed in the box along with care instructions, my card and a sample face scrubbie. The box was then topped off with a red ribbon bow and a To: From: tag that I punched to match the box. I have to say I would LOVE to get this as a gift. Read on......

My parents had a yard sale this past week and so with our few left over items and new things we wanted to get rid of we participated. Our booty was not so good this time. However due to the rain they are having it again next week. So we will see how that goes. Anyway the best part................

My mom was selling these towers, filled with candy, brand new for the upcoming holidays. Something happened and they had to take the candy out of the boxes. I saw them and thought what a great container for my fingerless gloves. She gave me 6 boxes and the matching red ribbon from the original towers. How utterly perfect. I think they are fab!!!!!!! I just hope she likes them. I tried to make them special...

The finished boxes and a little something for Mrs. Kime as a thank you for her order... more soon about the cute bird pin attached to the package.

Peace, love♥, and crochet...

Hello, I'm back

Ok, so I have been gone for a week. I am going to come clean and tell you why. We were not having computer problems, my computer ,TV and phone were shut off because we could not pay the bill. It is so embarrassing to me to have this happen, but I figure alot of people are in the same boat as we are. My husband still does not have a job. He has been out of work since March. We have cut back on everything we can and are starting to live a more simple earth friendly life style. I have to say I like it. We have in the past bought so much stuff we did not need, now we really think about it. It's not about the stuff it's how you live your life. What you teach your kids and how you try to follow a path God would want you to.

So we paid the bill and now on on Monday we are switching back to the cable company, We were with Direct TV and I have to say it was the worst experience of my life. Plus we are getting soooo much more for soooo much less. Since this whole job loss I am not loyal to anyone if I can get the same thing cheaper somewhere else I am going for it. These companies do not care how they treat their customers. the Customer Service is terrible. I am getting off my soapbox now.

Vic made these awesome donuts in baking class.... We enjoyed them for a few days........
Vic enjoying her fabulously good donut...

The whole box of them ~ Yum-Yum. I think I gained 10 pounds.

Vic and the donut box.......................

Allie's Junior sash.............. ah the memories.

Every year for the past 30+ years our town of Dunellen has had Art on the Green. It has gotten smaller in the past few years but it's still fun. There are crafts and local businesses and groups that come out. I actually won some cool scapbooking paper, 4 stamps and stamp pad and adhesive from Stampin' up how cool was that. Victoria and I went we had a good time and saw people we knew from town. Allie was at Great Adventure with a friend.

Victoria looking at the sports vendor. He had players cards framed very cool but to rich for my blood.

We liked this motorcycle, it was a fundraiser for a group.

Victoria painting a pumpkin which she later gave away? Who knows.\

A view of Washington Park. This is where we also light up the town Christmas tree.

Maybe one year I will take part in it and sell my crochet.

Ta Ta For Now~

Peace, love♥, and crochet...
