I found these at Charleston on our visit and can't wait to put some shells up at the beach to start painting!

My Dad and my oldest Daughter Jill and her husband John and the babies Harley and Prince.  My purse was a Christmas present from my youngest daughter and her boyfriend.  We had a great Christmas!! Took lots of pictures and ate a lot of food!! Dad has to wear the hankie because of the radiation treatments although it's 85% better.  My youngest daughter didn't want her picture shown much as 2 weeks ago she came down with Bells Palsy which paralyzed her right side of her face.  Her smile is straight and her eye doesn't blink but once in a while.  This should start to go away before long and she will be back to normal.  Teah is still beautiful to me and to the rest of us.

Christmas memories of my Mom and loving times with my Dad then and now. I hope all my Blogging friends a very Merry Christmas and I hope to be on here blogging again soon.  Love you all for your prayers and good wishes.  My daughters Bells Palsy which is paralyzing the right side of her pretty 28 year old face has some pain in it.  Here's hoping that's a good sign of the feeling coming back.  Dad's drinking water he collected after the rain from a mineral spring which is noted in the Bible to be healing water. Praying both get better.

Dad and I in Oct. when we went to Boone on a trip.  Wednesday we got the news that Dad's cancer is back and they can't do anything else to help him.  Please keep our family in your prayers.  Dad is my best friend and has really helped me through losing Mom 1 1/2 years ago. I'm making scrapbooks for each member of our family for Christmas.  Maybe I'll put a few of the pages up later. 

Last year's Christmas Quilt I made.  I think I'll put it up for sale this year:)

This is what I'm making now from a Tuna can, tobacco stick and thrift store glass:)  

Last year I made the girls a book about their dogs and a quilt with their dogs names on it.  I had so much fun collecting the pictures and putting them on Snapfish and making the hardback book.  Yes it's a real book:)  The children couldn't put the books down, I bet they read it 5 times before they opened the rest of their presents. I even took them to school before I gave it to them and read it to my classroom.  The children thought it was so cool and they call me an Author, how cool is that!!

Miss Minnie's is a place at Holden's Beach that I just love to go visit.  They have everything from antiques to Shabby Chic and the prices are great!!  Can't wait until my next visit as I also get great ideals:)  Been scrapbooking a lot lately and will have to put up my buy at Michael's after Thanksgiving sale. I racked up with about 300 and some worth of stuff for about $135.00.  YOU HAVE TO LOVE IT:)

Just wanted to share a great item I found.  Yes it's a metal pant hanger that I hang my quilts on and I love it!!!  You can hang so many different items on it like the small quilting flags that I see so many people making now.  Good way to display with layers:)

Ok so the craft show is over and I have a $184.00 in more in my pocket than when I started:)  It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be but for the first time and free to set up I'm happy!! At the very end of the show I sold $40 more dollars worth which tickled me to death!! Plus 40 of it I will really get Tues. which is ok with me as I have to take 8 tooth fairy pillows to Carthage to a lady who special ordered certain ones.   All in all I will say I'll do it again next year if I get the chance! Also first time to set up and to learn just what I need and what I don't need:) 

Well this is what I've been working on for the past several weeks.  I'm going to do my first craft show this coming weekend.  I don't know what will sell or if anything will but I'm going to see:)  At least I'll know how to set up everything and to see what else I need to display my items.  The diaper cake was something I've been wanting to try and make and for my first time I'm ok with the way it turned out.  I'm not quite sure how to price my items yet except for the Tooth Fairy Pillows that I usually sell for $5.00.  Any suggestions on pricing any of it?????

Granny please quit sewing and crafting and lay down and scratch my belly!!  Yes this is the look I've been getting!

I Spy Bags that I've made for the craft show.  I put my business card on a piece of ribbon and on the back of the business card I list the items.  Then I sew the ribbon onto the bag attached with a button.  That way they won't lose my card or the list of items they'll be looking for in the bag:)
