OK, the pics are out of order. not sure how I did this! This is a pic from today. our little swarm....explanation is down further on the blog. sorry about no make up, but we had a great time!

Yesterday was a wonderful day! I spent the day with Thornberries and then got to spend some time with Gunner man. we went to McD's for Ice Cream! Yum! Judy finished her top. she said she bought the kit in Houston. it's made with big chenille squares and flannel. it looks soooo cuddly! is that a word? LOL!

Justin Turn 16!

my goodness, I can't believe my oldest grandson will turn 16 on saturday! I was there when he was born. It was the first time I had witnessed a birth other than my own. I felt like I would have rather given birth instead of watching my daughter go through it. Justin is a very talented drummer, a good looking guy, a great sense of humor, and a typical teenager! We love him and we are so proud of him.
I feel very confident that he doesn't check his granma's blog very often, so I am posting his birthday card! someone on SCALyahoo groups sent me the drummer sillouette and I used my

SCAL to shadow the cut. the gold in the background is Joss Paper. I used zip two glue on it.

Happy Birthday Justin! We love you.....

new blog and I won!

OK, I am getting brave and I am going to start blogging! just to let you know I love to quilt! I love to scrapbook - haven't done too much of that lately! And I love to make cards!!! Recently I was at http://www.owlwhimsy.com/ and did their challenge. I won!!!! here is the card I made. I was so excited. I used suzy q and my copics! I won the betty set.

today I had Thornberries. this is a group of quilters that met at thimbleberries club at common threads in Mesa, AZ. they are no longer there. let's just say it was a few years ago. we meet once a month to sew, gab, eat, sew, laugh and sew. we had a great time as always. I made Robin's banana muffins. YUMMY! I will share the recipe later.

thanks for reading!
