Thank you all for my birthday gifts!

Earlier this month was my birthday!  I got some really nice gifts and well wishes from my friends and family.  I love you guys!  Thanks everyone for your thoughtfulness. The poncho from Pat (yes they are back in style and I've been wanting one), the travel journal and cowboy boot luggage tag from Jackie (can't wait to use them), the handmade rivoli pendant necklace from Colleen My. (love the colors and sparkle), the enamel piece necklace from Colleen Mc. (so cool!), the Pistol Annies CD from Tanya (got to love gals and their guns), my red sports jacket from my brother and nephew (need it for my running....yes I'm back at it). Mom and Dad, thanks for the ipad2(you guys rock!).  Starbucks even gave me a free drink (pumpkin spice latte was my choice....yummy!).  You all mean more to me than you know.  Thank you!!

Thanks to all the Veterans!

On this Veteran's Day, I want to thank all those who served our country in our armed forces and for your willingness to make sacrifices for our country.  Special thanks to my father who served 26 years in the military.

Jiffy Jewelry time!

This is one of my favorite Jiffy Jewelry classes!  We used some of Colleen's new handmade enamel pieces.  Aren't they vibrant and colorful!  All these pieces were so fun to make and so easy peasy.  Thanks Colleen for another super class!

No more "Cone of Shame"

Yesterday Bisquit got her stitches removed finally after 2 weeks with that irritating cone on her.  She somehow got used to it, if you can say that. Here's she trying to play with her toy.......so determined.  Next, is what she looks like after 2 weeks of wearing that cone......can we say bad hair day? Glad that's over with!  She is doing well now.  First thing she did when we got home is roll in the grass.  She's a trooper!
