And so it goes.

So... I recently posted again on my devotional blog, MoreThanJewels. Check it out if you want to... this time I around I had some questions that I would love to hear some answers to. :)


It seems like we have been pretty busy. Mostly because I helped my big sis with her Christmas Show at the Idaho Center in her Cathedral Soap booth. I spent several days over in her warehouse, wrapping soap, making kid soap kits, labeling shaving soaps, general encouragement to the artisan, etc. Then we went to the Idaho Center and spent a day setting up. Then there were three days of sales. I didn't sell on the third day, but I did arrive to help her clean up and pack up the van. I then brought the tables home and began setting up for my CM Open House. It seems like there is just one thing right after another during the Holiday Season, doesn't it!


We spent Thanksgiving with the Hoseley Clan (including Ralph and Dee who are FAB!) and we had a blast... we spent about three hours around the table, talking, drinking, eating, laughing like crazy! Then we rounded off the evening with a rousing game of Hand and Foot in which my niece and I slaughtered L and A... Hahahaha (evil laugh)...


Next on the schedule is the second Christmas Show down at the Boise Expo (repeat of above--just new venue) with periods of transcribing in between. Then it's off to Pittsburgh! Hoo-rah!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Been Up To...

So we've been doing a lot of things here on our property lately. You saw the pictures of the removal of bushes... that was followed by hanging siding on the front of our house and hanging the trim, caulking, etc. Then we concentrated on building a flower bed in the front yard (raised one with trimming stones) that is going to hold a Fringe Tree (something my hubby has really wanted to have) that we found out we can get from a local nursery. Hubby had a landscaping job that he did for a local realtor and he had leftover mulch, so he worked some more on the front yard and made a second bed and then mulched both. We have also started laying the tile on the kitchen countertops. It is soooo beautiful! It's been really fun working on the house together. We are going to take a break and go to Mississippi this weekend for Brother Brad's wedding. It's going to be a really fun weekend! The little guy is going to stay with his Auntie Wawa and Uncle Crud. ;o) I am going to post some pics of the flower beds and tile when we return. 'Till then!

Party on Wayne. Party on Garth.

Halloween Night

Here is our fun with pumpkins and two cuties in "not-so-cutie" wigs.
The cutie without a wig was a COWBOY!
