About Me

I am married to a great man and together we have 4 teenagers. 3 boys and 1 girl. I stay pretty busy with helping my husband with our business and keeping up with my teens. I'm a crafter by heart. I love to sew, quilt, scrapbook, decorate and so much more. If I could just stay home and do nothing but craft I would be in heaven!!! But, I have to feed my kids. I also love to shop for bargins. I do what I can to find a great buy and when I do, it's like Christmas to a kid.

I hope you enjoy my blog and please leave me a comment when you can. I am always trying to change up my blog to make it pretty so you might see changes as you visit. Please bare with me as I love to decorate, even my blog.

Foggy River

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but with the kids out of school for the summer and us going on vacation it has been pretty crazy around here. We took a vacation and stayed at a place called Foggy River in Branson, MO. The river was beautiful and each morning we would take our cup of coffee and sit down by the river and watch as the fog would move across the river. It was so peaceful and wonderful. Take a look at these pictures.

This is looking down the river that stays at 43 degrees all year long.

This is the entry to the place we stayed at. You can see the fog on the river.

We also had a dock that we fished for trout off of.

Here is the fog that would come in every morning and evening and sit on the river.




This is the place we stayed at. It was beautiful and huge.
See why I didn't want to come home?

A Great Buy!!!

So, my Mother-n-law needed me to go to Old Time Pottery to look for some aprons for her. Even though they sold out, the trip was not a flop. I got a great buy that was tucked away in a corner in the back of the store. This mirror is 30 by 40 and I got it for $19.99.

I love it when I find a great bargin. Now the question is,

what am I going to do with this?

Hang it in a bathroom, my living room or change the trim and sell it.

So many things to think about.

Back in Business

Heh, I am back in business.

I have worked hard this week-end getting everything set up

but it was worth it. I am now able to get back to craftin...

My daughter and I made these pendents late last night.

These are so easy to do and fun,

take a look....

This one actually has a tan color to it but the picture didn't come out just right.

I made this one since our home town is the Collinsville Cardinals.

Can't wait to wear it during football season.

I love red, so of course I had to make one with the color red.

I got a feeling we will be making alot more of these......

Mother's Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the special moms that has touched my life

Getting set up

Well, I am almost done with getting my craft area set back up. It has been a chore!!!
I have so many projects just running around in my head that I am about to explode.
I will be so glad to get back to craftying!!
