My Own Happiness Project!


Natalie! Is just the best! Today we spent the morning together! It seems we don't get to do that enough! She gave me the best treat ever! An adorable handmade "Quilted" card and my own copy of this book. She had mentioned this book on her blog....I am very curious to find out what I can learn from it :) xo

Turquoise Bucket

My new 3$ bucket from Walmart.....I couldn't resist! I now have a really cute cleaning bucket! I don't have to think stomach flu everytime I pull out my pale -muted -cream colored bucket to clean !!! Us Sweet cleaners need some motivation! and this was mine! I was inspired to fill it with hot water and Mr.Clean! I had a choice ya know...either Green or Turquoise! ( what I really went to Walmart for was to get some batting for a new lil some one you will meet soon)!

Memory


...everyday we play Memory! Me and Durkes play all the time....but I think it's extra cute when I watch Jimmy and Durkes play....hilarious really....I listen and watch and am amused!

Caught up in the moment...

VITAMIX

Well Natalie!!!!!! & I have new LOVES! She has the Blendtec and I have the Vitamix! It kinda goes like this! If you own a Maytag....you would never own anything else!

Im hear to tell ya!! we have used ours everyday and sometimes several times a day! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! this machine makes salad dressing, smoothies, dips, bread ( dough) , salsas.......anything and everything! Im just excited....ok?

1930 Crossroads

I love the name of this quilt just as much as I love how scrappy the fabrics look! This is a new project I started yesterday, St.Patty's Day 2011....posting this and the date will give me a little guide as to how long it will take me! How often in life do we find our selves at crossroads with somthing or another!? ( I aways am) This will be a very fun project, I have a little table set up in my family room by where my kids play and I cut every chance I get! I bought this Green aray of fabrics about 9 months ago and it has been sitting pretty for way too long! After being sick for 2 weeks yesterday it felt so good to start cutting! Spring is here I'm starting something NEW!

My View

This was "My View" this morning....I took a few good ....long....deep breaths! Here's a tidbit....every morning when we wake up....to get our sences going and alive for the day.....we can open our front door , back door, for me it's my bedroom door....I groggily get out of my bed and open the door and feel the cold air and inhale!!!!! It totally does something for me! It definitly wakes me up! I can more easily absorb Durkes' instant chattering to me ....as it does start the second he's out of bed! and me?...well I'm not an istant awake person! so this helps! My mother in law taught me this! Good ol Mar!

Tulips are Up!


I went outside this a.m. to chat with Ma as she got in her car....I was just so excited to see that my Tulips are up! It's only March 4th....but we have had some awesome wheather....and it's gona be a killer spring I know it! One of the many reasons I Love Utah!Im sure you will you will be sick of my tulips by the time they grow up, bloom and shrivle up....bare with me! cause ....in order for them to last I need to go to the barber shop and get some human hair and keep the "DEER" away....or do you know of anything else that works? soap?
