Thank You Jenny Doh!

 
 
 It was a blessed Thanksgiving Holiday indeed!! Here is me with my little brother and one of my younger sisters. I have not seen my brother in over 15 years and my sister in over 13 years.

If you are familiar with my Art Saves story on Crescendoh, you'll know that we were all raised in difficult circumstances. We've all had our own issues through the years that have separated us, but thanks to Jenny Doh asking me to write my Art Saves story, I think we may be headed back to togetherness. After all, WE were ALL WE HAD.

It was a very emotional and loving reunion and I look forward to seeing them again soon.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs and Kisses to you Jenny Doh!!!!

xoxoxoxo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. I hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving as well!! :-)

Whooo Whooo

A few weeks ago, the hubby and I went to a roofing convention in Prescott, Arizona. These events can include alot of partying, which we felt obligated to participate in. ;-) Let's just say that we had a really good time :-)

We had such a good time that we made friends with the bartender at the hotel where we stayed and where the convention was being held. This is TJ and he was alot of FUN! So fun that he put on this pink cowboy hat and did a little dance for me LOL!

 

The view from the hotel restaurant was spectacular. The real thing looks better than this pic.

 

Here's the hubby and I on the last night at the awards dinner

 

The next morning we took a drive to check out Lynx Lake....Beautiful!!

 

 

One of the extra curricular activities that the convention had was a winery tour in Chino Valley. As soon as we got off the bus, they had us begin wine tasting. After a few tastings, I remember purchasing a few bottles of somewhat expensive wine ($35) :-) They then took us to see the grapevines which were pretty cool and on the walk back, we saw this

 
 

A Great Horned Owl sleeping. Isn't it just beautiful?!! They are very large too. Our tour finished with a fabulous lunch.....thank goodness. I needed it after all of that wine.....however, wine was served with the lunch....oye! ;-)

Anyway, it made me think that The Wall was in need of it's own owl, so I went digging through my dish scraps and came up with this

 


He's now perched on The Wall looking out over the garden and the studio :-)

 

That's all for now. Today is my birthday, so I'm headed to Anthropologie (LOVE) to spend my bday money and a gift card that has been in my purse since Mother's Day.

See ya soon!

Blooming Addition to The Wall

Had a couple of these yellow bowls in my stash of dishes. Decided to make some flowers out of them.

 

It's amazing how many flowers you can get out of 2 little bowls

 

 

The Wall is turning out nicely :-) I just need to keep at it until I have it finished!

I spent this last weekend working really HARD in the garden. So hard that I broke a water line with my shovel and had to repair it. :-/ That put a couple of extra hours into my work load. I was not a happy girl. After repairing it, all I could think of was how I wish I had a hot tub to soak my sore body in.

I should be able to share my hard work tomorrow on my garden blog at www.mosaicqueen.typepad.com/mosaiccottagegardens

Now this made me smile last night....
 
 
My little grand-daughter came to trick or treat at our house. She was so cute dressed as Dorothy :-)

Okay, back to work.

See ya soon!
