Birthdays & Rain

Happy Birthday to my daughter! I didn't get to post on friday & friday was her birthday! She turned 31, WOW, can't believe she is over 30! Her photo is below. She is so pretty! So very proud of you! Love you so much!We went to the lake on friday. The weather was cool & rainey which never happens in West Texas! It rained friday night, all day saturday & was still raining this morning. We had over an inch @ the lake before we left. We left around 10 this morning because we knew it was going to rain again all day. But it was a great weekend, very peaceful & we got lots of rest, plus I got some art work done. I made (of course) more blocks. I think I'm stuck on blocks. But the supplies for blocks are easy to carry to the lake so...therefore I make blocks. I made 2 sets. One set is not complete yet. But I will share with you the one that is complete. These are a little different from what I usually do, but I like the way they turned out. What do you think?

And then tonight I worked on some blocks for Christmas. They look vintage. I made them to appear distressed. I'm going to be putting more blocks on my etsy hopefully in the next night or two.

One other project I worked on was some little wood clothes pins. So check them out below. This is the first set, the front & the backs of the pins. This is the second set, front & back of the pins.

My great friend Lisa from Wild Over Wine has sold a beautiful bracelet that she has made. And now she has an order to make 5 more bracelets, they are a little different than the one below, but look how beautiful this one is.

Lisa has made some really beautiful jewelry lately. And she just started making jewelry about a month ago! Way to go Lisa, great job. Below is a necklace, wish you could see it in person, it is so COOL! If you get the chance go & check her out. She has also made some awesome wine bottles with lights inside & decorated on the outside.

Lisa's etsy site is MAJestic Designs. She has some gorgeous bracelets, & necklaces for sale!

Well I hope you all have a great week! I'm already tired thinking about it! Oh well...labor day weekend is coming soon! Yippee! Hugs to all my friends***Renea

Kennedy's Baby Doll

I am so excited, this is a little baby doll that I ordered for my new Granddaughter! Kennedy is due December 10th & she just couldn't arrive without a baby doll. So I went to ebay looking for this seller but could not find her. So I was browsing etsy & guess what...there she was. Her shop is called sugar & spice. Go check out her shop she has the cutiest dolls. This baby is the perfect size for a child to hang onto. I even asked her to make her with stitched eyes & Kennedy's name on the tag...no problem she did it & she was done in just a couple of days. How great is that? Everyone needs a baby doll, so go check it out. Now just waiting on Kennedy's grand entrance to this world!

I also wanted to let you know that I listed one of my purses on etsy tonight. I listed the "Lucy" purse.

Hope you all have a great week! Hugs***Renea

Happily Ever After

As most of you know we had another wedding this past weekend. Our niece got married & I want to share with you some of the photos. The wedding colors were pink & brown. Love those colors. And just wait until you see the cake, oh my gosh that was the most beautiful cake that I've ever seen. Everything turned out really nice & I think everyone enjoyed themselves. The first photo is of the bride with her bride's maids @ the rehersal dinner. They all look so pretty! They really had a good time, & after the dinner they had a lingerie shower for the bride!

The next photo is all the bride's maids with the bride on her big day!

And of course there is always a flower girl & a ring bearer. Except this was a little different as the flower girl really didn't carry flowers & the ring bearer didn't carry the rings. Instead the ring bearer pulled the flower girl down the aisle in a little wagon. Just too precious!
Introducing Mr & Mrs Bride & Groom. Aren't they a cute couple!
And now for the gorgeous cake! And it tasted great too! Love those flowers on the cake, didn't that just make it?
Here is the happy couple leaving the church. Look @ the bubbles. And look @ the bride in the car, so pretty & surreal!
I also have to include this great photo of my hubby & our beautiful daughter. She will be 31 on August 15th!! Happy Birthday to our baby girl! Love you so much! We are so proud of you!!!

I also wanted to let you all know that I have added some new things to my etsy shop. I have alot of other items to add but can only add a few @ a time because it takes so long! So check it out often to see the new additions! I want to thank each of you for your sweet comments. You all mean so much to me. I love all of my blog friends! Thanks too for visiting so frequently. Hugs***Renea
I am adding photos of my tote bags, because someone wanted to see them. So here they are, hope you like. I will be adding these to etsy soon. Hugs***Renea

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!

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?

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
