I asked my daughter to model my purses but she didn't want to so....my youngest Grandson did it for me. And what a great model he was! Or should I say ham?!?I finally finished another project tonight. I made a journal with all kinds of collaged pages, tags to write notes on & blank pages for notes. I love this little journal it is really sweet. What do you think?

Just a couple of little things!
Well our kids are here for a wedding tomorrow. Our second niece is getting married. And my daughter is in this wedding too. My daughter & another niece were getting ready tonight for the rehearsal & I took a couple of photos. These 2 are totally up to no good most of the time! Ha!The first photo is my daughter, isn't she beautiful? So pretty!





We had our 3 Grandson's tonight & we went out to eat. Here are some photos of them clowning around with their PaPa.
And I am including one more photo. Have you heard the expression, if you don't have an oil well, well get one? That used to be on a TV commercial here years ago. Tonight we had dinner @ Clear Springs Cafe & behind the restaurant was a pump jack or oil well. And yes this is right in town. Didn't the clouds make a beautiful back drop for this pump jack.
Well I hope you all have a great weekend. We are being totally entertained by 3 monkey boys! I Love them so much, they are always fun to be around! Hugs to each of you***Renea

More From West Texas
First things first, I would like to say thank you to all of you who left such sweet comments about my soon to arrive Granddaughter! I'm sure she will be rotten to the core! I have already started buying pink little things for her. And of course pink is my favorite color!


Another beautiful site was a crepe murtle bush. It was so pretty, the blooms were a deep fushia pink color. It too was @ the nursing home. I love the blooms on these bushes because they remind me of lace so graceful & elegant.
Now that I have explained the beauty of wide open spaces I wanted to share the next few photos. Has anyone heard about the West Texas Windmill Farms? The windmill farms produce electricity for huge cities & other states like Florida. One farm is owned by Florida Power & Light Company. These windmills are 200 feet tall & the blades are 80 feet long. Just check out the photos below.





PS--(revision added) Okay I now realize that Texas is not the only state to have these windmill farms. I guess this is progression. But I am glad for all the jobs that these windmill farms have produced! I know that we all need our jobs! I apologize for putting my feet in my mouth!
Finally I have one new piece of art work to share. I have made a perpetual block calendar. I will be putting it on etsy soon. Let me know what you think? I am currently working on a little journal that will be full of birds, nests, flowers & all kinds of good things. I have so many things I want to do, but so little time to do them! Tell me where do you find the time?



Now one last little tid bit....we were at the lake this weekend & started painting the cabin. Here is Hubby hard @ work. Just a sneak peek @ the progress there.....also look @ the peach tree in the right distant back ground. Yes that is a peach tree loaded with peaches. We made homemade peach ice cream & it was wonderful! Yummo! We picked the peaches & brought them home with us.



The colors in the photos are a little strange. Not sure why but the last photo is more true to color, the house is mocha in color & the trim is rustic red. Hope you all enjoy the photos! Hope you all have a great week! Hugs to you all***Renea
I feel like I haven't blogged in forever! I have been so busy though! I have several things to write about...some interesting...some maybe not. I love West Texas, it has a beauty all its own. (which I have mentioned before) I have written recently about West Texas, but I have more photos to share with you all! The photo below is of a local complimentary magazine. The front page is of the vast West Texas area, and the title is miles & miles of West Texas.
I love the wide open spaces, just like that song by the Dixie Chicks, wide open spaces are the heart of West Texas. I took several photos the other day while I was making a visit to the nursing home. This nursing home happens to be out in the country. And I came across a sweet little bunny that didn't seem to mind if I took his picture. He just sat & posed for the photo.

Yippee, Yippee, Yippee!
Today my daughter-in-law, Griffin, went to the doctor for a sonogram. We learned the sex of the baby today. And I remind you that I have 3 wonderful Grandson's. So when Griffin called me awhile ago I was so excited! I was in Michael's (believe it or not), and when she told me that we are having a GIRL! I just started jumping up & down and yelling Yippee! It's been 9 years since our last Grandchild and we really wanted a GIRL this time. God has really blessed us! Of course a boy would have been great too, but a GIRL this time is a prayer come true. This precious baby is due December 10th! Oh what a wonderful Christmas gift! They have already decided on a name, her name will be Kennedy. Love that her name will be so original! I have always told my son, Corey, that since his sister had 3 boys, that he will probably have 3 girls. Hee Hee! Okay, Okay just one at a time! Can't hardly wait! 

Just thought I would throw in some photos of little girls! My heart is smiling! Hope you all have a great week. Hugs***Renea

West Texas Desert
West Texas does have a beauty all of its own, I took these photos this week & thought I would share with all my blog friends. I usually always carry my camara with me & take photos whenever I see something eye catching. The photos below are of the West Texas beauty. The bush is called a purple sage, & that just happens to be the name of the street I live on. But purple sage is a Texas native plant, when they are blooming they have a sweet lilac smell. Oh so pretty!



I also took a photo of a gorgeous stainglass window that is in a sanctuary of a church. This stainglass is approx. 14 feet high. It was just breath taking!
I have also added several new items to my etsy shop. I have added several new block sets, and some vintage wooden spools that I have made into a birthday greeting.
Wooden Blocks are of faces.



Wooden Spool decorated for a birthday gift.


I hope you all have a great weekend. We are going to the lake tomorrow. And besides tomorrow is my birthday! Another year better! Ha! Hugs***Renea

Tried Something New
Well I had decided to try something new again. I wanted to paint a canvas with soft colors & words. So I worked on this canvas & finished it today. What do you think? I like it, I think it turned out well. It also has some yellow mixed in but it is hard to see. The sides are staple free & painted pale blue with yellow mixed in @ various places. I also really like the dangling cross. The cross also has copper colored wire wrapped around it.


These angel blocks are already listed on my etsy site.
These are Sold! (yippee!)


These are women of the 20's, I love these blocks, they are so fun!



Well I hope you have enjoyed the photos of my art work. I had fun creating each piece. I hope you all have a great week! Hugs***Renea
I have more blocks that I finished while on vacation. I just have not had the time to post them. I hope I can get these listed on etsy tonight. The blocks below are of a bird house, birds, eggs & a man's face that has a white wash over it.
These are Sold! (yippee!)
