New on Etsy.....

Just one of the beads that I listed on MY ETSY today....

Loving the snow!

Last year for Christmas Whit gave me a flexible flyer sled and got one for himself. It wasn't until yesterday that we were able to use them. We had a blast. I am just like a kid when it comes to snow.....

We have another chance of snow coming this weekend..... you know where I will be!

Winter Wonderland

We are just loving the snow! I wish it would stick around for a few more days....

“When you smiled you had my undivided attention. When you laughed you had my urge to laugh with you. When you cried you had my urge to hold you. When you said you loved me, you had my heart forever.”

I love you Whit!

This weekend was fabulous! Spent some great time with friends and had a wonderful class. If you ever have an opportunity to take some of the great classes that M and D offers here in Chinook go for it! A wonderful facility and the people are just awesome! I will be coming back in August to teach a silver class.

I had so much fun with my friends here ........ I am looking forward to coming back again sometime soon!

Thank you Teri, Nick, Vickie and Marion for being such wonderful hosts!
