Time

I spend a little to much time at this store. Between , craft projects and projects for church it seems I almost always end up here. One thing I love is that they are not open on Sunday. Got to love a company that will give time to their employees.

Two of my favorite things

Meet Veges my sisters dog not a great picture of him but he wasn't really in the mood for a photo shoot. He is so sweet! Love that dog he was my buddy while I was at my mom's. I slept in my sisters room which is where he sleeps (shhh don't tell I even got him up on the bed with me for a little while). He love to give hugs and snuggle

the photo of Vegas was supposed to be taken on the 6th...I even got up to take it and then promptly got sidetracked by who know what. I remembered at about 12:05 that I had not taken the photo. Oh well I did not let that stop me.

I love Krispy Kream doughnuts. I grew up eating them. If you have never had one it is worth every carb and calorie but you have to stop at a KK store when the big orange HOT sign is ON! Nothing like melt in your mouth hot KK's. YUMMY

When I was in high school at exam times. One or more of the clubs would sell KK's during our break in between exams. I would always split a box with a friend and we would devour it. As much as I love them I really don't know how I ate 6 KK's at a time. The thought of it make me a little queasy.

Suprise

I drove to SC for my mom's birthday on the spur of the moment. Her Birthday was Wednesday and late Tuesday afternoon. I was trying to make it work. I had to make sure the boys got to and from school and rearranged Justin's baseball lesson. It all worked and my mom was totally surprised.

I called her while I was still in Atlanta little did she know I was on 285 driving toward her :) A friend was taking her to lunch which was perfect. I wasn't sure if she would be home when I got to the house so I planned to call. If she wasn't home I was going to park in back so she would not see my car. As it turned out she was home. I called her when I got off the highway and she was telling me all about her lunch. When I turned into her driveway I really thought the dogs would start to bark but they didn't. I actually got all the way down the drive (which is quite long) parked so she would not see my car and walked up to the door and rang the bell all while talking to her and still the dogs did not bark until I rang the bell!! She told me to hold on the "mailman must be at the door" I wish someone could have recorded her reaction when she realized it was me. Best birthday present I ever came up with!

A couple of years ago I found this cute shop on Etsy and Drew and the boys got me this and one other picture. I love them!! This one is hanging in the family room and I have the other one in the living room.

I know the photo is upside down. I flipped in on my computer but I guess blogger didn't like it.

This year for our family service project we are sending packages to a friend of mine who is deployed. I will send the packages and he will put them in a common area for all to have access to. He is in a camp where they don't have a place where they can purchase things that they may need. If they don't get it from home.

I am going to contact the boys school and see if any of the small groups or clubs want to write letters that I can stick in some of the packages.

It isn't much bu it is what we can do as a thank you to the men and women who serve and protect our country. We already pray for them and their families nightly but felt like we needed to do something more.

Snowmen and such

Ok so I tried to upload a weeks worth of photos the other day and it did not work so I will do them one or two at a time.

Here is my sad little collection of Christmas decor that I put out this year. I have lots of snowmen and usually leave them out through January. This year I put it all away at the same time. I love my snowmen they make me happy. The fat one in front is on of my all time favorites.

Project 365

Happy New Year!!

I found this article on Project 365 . You take a photo a day for the whole year. It is something I am really going to have to work on to remember to do. I do carry my camera with me often so hopefully it won't be to hard. I will post my photos here at least once a week.

Here are my photos for January 1, 2011

This is one wall in my living room. I love these chairs I picked them out 11 years ago when we moved into this house and I still love them just as much today. The clock was my grandmothers grandmother and is made out of Burl Walnut. It brings back happy memories of my childhood.
