All My GrandChildren

Hello to all that comes to see my little blog....these are my 6 Grandchildren. Today was make tags and wrap gifts for my family. I am so blessed to have all my children and GC here in Idaho. The clock is ticking in another Christmas and this is my first Christmas in Blogland. May your joys be many and your heart be light. You may need to click on picture.

I think I have the Christmas spirit.

I have been busy making things for Christmas. These are Christmas cards to my three children. I haven't done these before. We have been very sad, and this has helped me to think of other things. Arney's sister Mandy past away and we have been focusing on the family. As we say good-by to a very special lady...it is good to have Christmas to look forward to. Mandy loved Christmas, she would decorate with such love & Joy. We will miss her forever.

Thanksgiving

Last year at this time I hadn't let myself be known here in blog-land. Six months or longer went by before I really knew why I was here. It was a time when I thought it would be some of my writings, not thinking of any kind of real contact with anyone. If not for a article in a magazine, I probably would have never really looked into this wonderful place that I now so enjoy.
I wish you Love on this very special day.

This is in my kitchen....I keep things that are needed daily....I have a large laundry room slash pantry.

I have always liked this room, and since it is off the kitchen it has been many things over the years. I found that I had supplies here and there and spent alot of time looking for things I needed. So this is the begaining of my craft room. The back door is to the right and this was ones a laundry room...there was a hole in the floor where that lady of the house drained her washer. When I moved in it was a mud room. I am going to paint it. The blue counter top to the left is waiting for a make over. I am still sarching for the right tile. Just a little view of my space. Hugs, Mary

Autumn

I was going through some pictures and found this one. The color was turning some strange color so I made it into this. Note the clock in the background...it was very popular in the 60's early 70's. This is the fall of 1970. I had worked all day making this dress and finding all the stuff that was matchy-matchy for us all. We were all going to a Halloween Party at our friends house.
Autumn has always been good for me. I would lay-away Christmas just after Halloween...Arney never understood that I had to get ready, time would fly.
I was a very busy Mom with my two little boys...little did I know when this picture was taken that Jenny our little girl would join this little family soon.
Happy fall, I have watched almost all the tree's let their golden leaves fall, soon they will all be bare. We have about 3 inches of leaves to rake. We are having a really pretty fall. The news shared that skiing will start on Thanksgiving day on some of our mountains. I can see snow on the mountains all around us. Soon I will be watching the snow fall. My boys are eight and a half months apart...that will make you think.
