...and a GREAT time was had by all!!!!

Yes we all had a great time at Chayli's party!! Mom, Dad, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpa, cousins and lots of friends all joined in the fun. Doesn't Chayli look great in her outfit? All of the paper mache' decorations were made by her and her family. Look at the big saucer she is in in one of the photos! It has a big teacup to go with it!! We danced and ate and laughed and met new people and had lots of fun!! Thank you Chayli for such a fun time. Oh and she did open her present the next day and she loved it. (Yay!!!)

A Graduation Gift

Yes, I decided to post this picture of Chayli's graduation gift only because it's the day before and she will be too busy to be looking at a blog. I almost thought this gift looked too young but it's an Alice In Wonderland party HA!!! Anyway Chayli will always be young at heart no matter how old she is. Here are photos of the back, detail of free form daisys on the border,(I love daisys) and upclose detail of the fun front. I call it CELEBRATION!! Happy Graduation Chayli!!!

Hats for a party!!!

I've been making hats for my niece's graduation party this month (they grow up so fast). Her theme is Alice in Wonderland and it's a tea party, CUTE!!! I won't show her present (just in case she's looking) but the hats are kinda fun. The pink one is especially for her and it is HUGE!!

Ewwwwww!!!!!

I love to go out in the mornings and collect my new cache of lovelies. I love to pick the fresh jonquils and daffodils and then place them throughout the house. Spring! Spring! Spring!


This morning when I was picking flowers this is what greeted me in the yard!!











Snake!!! Ewwww!!! I didn't see it until I was right there with it!! I had my face right there by it (shiver) and talk about ruining the moment. I really didn't know I could still run that fast. I don't care what kind it is they're still scary and yuck! Isn't it ugly?? :-P

Sorry PETA and the people who love snakes, this girl DON'T. Just thought I would share my heart attack moment.

Here's the e-mail I got from my husband after hearing this:

Hey Pumpkinator,
Hope you didn't kill it. It's a king snake. It eats other snakes and rodents. It's good to have this snake around the house. I'm sorry it scared the life out of of you.

Isn't he sweet???

Hmmmmmm, I wonder how long it will take for me to forget this and go back into the yard??
