Another Wonderful Day!

Yesterday my BFF Becky and I were blessed with a day out together. Eating lunch and craft shopping is our favorite 2 things to do together. I am so blessed to have a wonderful person like her to "hang" with.

Lots going on since my last post. Prom is over, YEAH, went well, so very tired from decorating and cleaning up. School is out for the summer! Graduation is past! Now time to prepare for summer camp. I did manage to get more beads done, did some research on the net for recycled crafts, found some reallllly kewl stuff. Here is a pic of one of the progects that inspired me to try something new with all of the magazines my 2 girls still have stored around the house. I will post another pic when it is finished.


Took the baby (Channel) back to the vet yesterday for the last set of puppy shots and rabies. She weighed a whopping 27.4 lbs. I had no clue Labs grew so fast. I did know how big she will be full grown, I just didn't know she would grow so fast the first few months. Here she is today

She has been tired the past few days from shots and her buddy Blue spent the weekend with us.
I was going to post more pics from the yesterday shopping extravaganza but the camera is doing really strange things this morning. It took an hour to get these 2 pics I posted here so I may be shopping for another camera today. I got some really pretty paper yesterday for some new bead designs I saw and am going to try to recreate.
A new friend of mine has a wonderful giveaway on her blog, you should go check it out if you are interested at all in making your own beads. http://justjenndesignz.blogspot.com/

Have a Great Week!

Wonderful Day

Yesterday was a wonderful day! I spent the day with my bff crafting buddy Becky! I so look forward to our time spent together. Lunch AND shopping for craft supplies, doesn't get any better than that! You can find her at whymsicalmusings.blogspot.com , there she has several links to finding her artwork on the web, also links on my blog.

I feel so inspired to create today, but I have so many wonderful ideas in my head I don't know where to start. We visited a really kewl new shop yesterday called My Heart's Fancy. Talk about inspiration. It is run by 2 wonderful ladies that are friends as well and they have a little bit of everything. Including craft classes and a once a month make and take class that is free! I can't wait to attend one of those. We had some weather issues yesterday while at this store. A storm came up very suddenly and we thought we would have to leave before we got to look at all of the eye candy, but a quick call home and we were told to stay put, the storm is on top of you guys! Gee, that is too bad we have to stay in such a wonderful place! HaHa. It turned out to be a severe tornado that indeed was very close. We made it home fine and had a wonderful time together in spite of it all.

I promise I will post some pics of my art and craft things soon. Today I must start packing for my trip, so I will leave you with this poem.


New Friends and Old Friends

Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test--
Time and change--are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray,
Friendship never knows decay.
For 'mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas! may die,
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast--
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
