Great-Grandma and Haley

Sunday fun

Here are 2 of the dotees i created last night. I just have so much fun making these. I hope someone will trade me someday! It's fun to see others work.

I'm a little down today. My darn printer ran out of ink, my car(Geo Metro) died for good(i think) and I still haven't gotten my face stamper from Hobby Lobby! I went to see about the stamper and they didn't know what i was talking about! I told them one of their help was supposed to order one for me! Anyhow, i guess i'll wait and have to order/find something online! I did get my little face mold for clay. No clay yet but soon i hope! I missed my chance at a yard sale! She had lots on sale for 50cents each but some other lady beat me to it and wouldn't let me look! =( Darn. I know eventually i will get the things i need but not soon. I have to be patient. =-) I did get some neat papers for 10cents each, oh, and some buttons and material. I got a huge bag for $1.00. The lady knew me as she lives up the street so she was kind to me. Last year she gave me a whole sack of nice socks as she was changing to all white. I'm still wearing them. We found each other on Freecycle. It's a great place to share things you don't want with someone in your area who might need them. I got a like new stroller and baby carseat for my great granddaughter.

Today i made lasagna and garlic bread. Here is the recipe for the Lasagna, it came from Hy-Vee Test Kitchens

This was really good. I think next time i will use 2 of the pkg lasagna noodles or just 1 jar pasta sauce as we like it less saucy. I'm all for easy too!

Thanks for coming to see my blog. I hope you'll try the recipe. It's good! Add some garlic bread and maybe a small salad...Yummy! Blessings....

Nice Surprise!

I wanted to share the nice surprise i got in the mail! Mattie(poketypatch) sent me the cutest easter bunny dotee along with so many other nice things! Thank you Mattie! I wanted everyone to see this bunny. Cute,cute,cute! I really love making the dotees more than the ATCs. I seem to be better at sewing. =0)

I went to my granddaughters to see Haley today. She is just so cute. I love being a new great-grandma! I tried to make an ATC to commemerate the birth but just couldn't seem to get it right. I'll try again later. =)

It's been really nice out today.I went out and sat on the picnic table and watched the birds and squirrels...i put out some bread. While sitting there a bunny came up and ate! Why didn't i take my camera? LOL. It sat there for quite awhile so i stayed still. It was just so calming to be out in the fresh air. I hope you all have a wonderful day too! HUGS

I'm a new great-grandma!

Today my oldest granddaughter, Julie, and her boyfriend, Justin, had a baby girl. Her name is Haley Anna and she came to see us at 4:48am or therabouts. =) She weighs in at 7.8# and is 19 3/4" long. She is just beautiful! I am so proud! Mom and baby are doing great!

I was ending the day yesterday with my car blowing up. My little red convertible is no more! I've loved that car for 17 years! So i thought well i guess it will have to get better. I was right! Haley came into my life and i know it will be better.

I made some new dolls and a few ATC cards that i will get posted. First i have to get the photos of Haley! =)

Well i'm bushed so i'm going to bed early. Thanks to all for being here. Blessings.
