Party Central

Last Sunday our youngest had her birthday party... Dad decided to rent a Jump Castle since it was her last "non teen" birthday.

Here are a few of the guests...
I have to say they were pretty well behaved...this was a good investment.

Sydney wanted Tyler to play air hockey with her


ever the gentleman he let her win.

I even had time to list my Stamp Collection on Ebay while they bounced.

I tried to take a picture, without flash, of the bodies lined up on the living room floor the next morning but it didn't turn out.

Sunday I left for my ride and Dad made the girls pancakes, they were gone by 1pm then started cleanup until Gabe & Jess arrived then the family party commenced. First a game of UNO then off for a few hours of bowling, followed by dinner at Outback.

I am almost finished with an adorable summer top for Sahara & her doll (the doll is more a dress) I hope to finish that this evening before grading papers.

I am still on a clean & purge binge right now, after being down with this upper respiratory virus most of the week. I decided it was not going to keep me from my appointed task. Tomorrow I hope to repaint the master bathroom after a short ride in the morning.

Time off from training to clean yippee

Today and tomorrow there will be no 'Personal Training' as I have to clean & set up for my open house sale.

Time to share some of the things I have enjoyed over the years and to decrease my inventory.
One would think it was me giving birth in the next few weeks but I guess I am going through
Grandmother 'nesting' right now.

Last night I listed this new Punchneedle Treasures Box


This is the second item I listed for PRHG's 'HOT FUN in the Summertime' Launch on Ebay

I also placed the Semper Fi Marine Fund Rug right here on my blog you can email me through my comment on any post if your interested in purchasing a rug to help the Injured Warriors Fund.

Maybe I will post a few items here as a 'ONLINE OPEN HOUSE' tomorrow. :-)

He's Home He's Home Yippee

We were able to pick up Casper from Dr.MacDaniel's this morning.
He came home with two different meds but over all he is looking a lot better!
He has his bright yellow pressure bandage on his IV site, we call it is POWER RANGER
wrist band.
He was spoiled with some steak pieces and banana (his favorite treat)
He wanted to nap on the lanai in the sun after 5 minutes followed me in & is sleeping on my lap right now



As nice & comfortable as he is I have to go finish those two items so I can list them soon.
The damages weren't as bad as my dental bills but none the less $410 is a tank of gas these days. . . for my suburban

Off to the Vet this morning

After waking up worrying and Casper vomiting a little (he didn't eat or drink anything of significance yesterday) at 4:30 this morning. I finally got back to sleep around 6am then awoke at 7am got ready & took him in to Dr. Mac this morning, his temp was still up & he was still lethargic.

She drew blood right away which will be sent off this morning, then took x-rays to make sure there was no bowel obstruction and saw more tiny stones in his bladder & now in his kidney.
I got a urine sample & there is some blood in it so he is staying there over the weekend on antibiotics & fluids to rehydrate him.
It is days like this I wish I would have gotten my degree and had my own practice, but since I didn't there is no one I trust more to care for my animals.

So now to keep busy and not worry until I receive news on his condition, diagnosis & what treatment course we will be taking.

Not to mention get somethings listed & sold to pay this bill....:-)
Anyone want to buy a lightweight craft display booth??? :-)

Blessings 2 U today Friend!

Where is the time going?

Wow I can't believe the weekend is almost over.....
a brief recap of some things I accomplished;

I dyed more wool yesterday.....


The Moonlit Midnight Blues was a custom order there is one left in my Etsy Store...

I finished this little pinkeep that I was working on during the airshow and finally got it listed on Ebay


Attended a Makeup Luncheon with my daughter & her co-workers this morning/afternoon (not a big make up person here)



We all went to see Ben Steins new move EXPELLED....very eye opening and sad but you should see it!


Hubby is watching Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp & it is all I can do to not watch it tonight (I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP) still digesting Expelled.


Tomorrow we are attending a Ray's game with our eldest daughter & her boyfriend. I honestly don't know who they are even playing...but the kids are excited to go to another game.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend and spending time with those you love!

BIG REVEAL COMING SOON.....

My dear friend & Leader of the Primitive Rug Hooking Group, Betty & I have been working hard on bringing the EBAY PRHG Group into compliance with their guidelines & policies. With the help of Julie, Deirdre & The Queen we have been deleting THOUSANDS of links to outside (of ebay) sites & blogs. These wonderful ladies have spent hours upon hours deleting links/posts & threads that go back to the groups inception back in early 2006.

Just imagine over 150 women posting numerous times daily to each other, asking questions, building friendships, sharpening their Hooking Skills, from all over the United States & Canada.
That should give you an inkling of how many posts they have gone through to clean up the group so as not to have it closed down and to keep these women together.
This time, by the way has been completely VOLUNTEERED. This is the love for the art and the group as a whole that has kept us going to make sure the group does not close.

On top of all that we have been trying to make sure things run smoothly & make it clear that we all were in violation of the policies, and even though it was allowed and not corrected by the previous leader or moderators with all the changes happening on Ebay it needed to be fixed now before people were caught and possibly suspended or removed.

I can not tell you how proud I am of Betty, Julie, Deirdre & The Queen (Sherry) for their dedication & selflessness!
Thank you to Doris who started a list of members information last fall, and to the 40 or 50 members who updated & added their information to that list. We now have a way to contact them should something happen to the group board...
Thank you to all the members who didn't feel they were 'singled' out and willingly removed their links/banners & website information from their signature files!
My friends you will be rewarded for your cooperative spirit.....

For those of you who are not members you can search for ALL the talented pieces by these ladies on ETSY & EBAY, just type PRHG into the search fields of either website. You can even GOOGLE PRHG for some of the members listings/blogs.
