Time
Time
has slipped away from me. It seems like just yesterday I was holding
my second granddaughter in my arms for the first time, and here we
have just celebrated her birthday and the birth of or third
granddaughter. Granted, it was just under a year in between these two
but it was a year that went by very, very quickly! My babies make
beautiful babies! Though I think they may have cheated with this
newest one and just made a carbon copy of baby number 2! Tell me what
you think.....
I
have worked very little on the doll house, in all honesty, I have
been super busy with babies and spring fever! I did manage to get
the doll house's “rock look” on the porch and the tower, and have
to say I am pleased with that. Will try to take a picture of it for
you guys but right now it is laying on its back letting some glue
dry.

I
made a small fairy garden in a birdbath that I found, and cleaned up
last years gardens. I got interested in working with polymer clay and
have had so much fun with it! I have made so many little things, for
fairy gardens and charm bracelets. I have shared most of the things I
made with others, but kept a few that I really liked. Here are a few
pictures of things I made.

I
also joined a group on facebook that is for fairy gardens. It has
been such a blessing for me and I have made a few new friends!
Everyone is friendly and shares their experiences with their fairy
gardens! This is where I learned about the clay, that is driving Big
Daddy crazy and has me playing with it like a kid with playdough!
Maybe I can throw some clay tutorials in here for guys if anyone is
interested! Let me know!
Other
than that, health wise, I am doing much better. I did try to get off
all my meds but went back on the Cymbalta because my muscles were
hurting again. Its the fibro that causes it and the Cymbalta has
truly helped with that! So, good deal, no more back pain after my
surgery!
Jason
and I were honored to be invited to a graduation for his best friends
son. They live in New Orleans, and he was only allowed to invite 4
people and two of those are me and Jason. It is a great honor to be
thought of so highly! We will go, and spend the weekend there. It is
going to be quiet an adventure! After debating over the things we
really want to do while there, and how badly we wanted a nice hotel,
I decided that the hotel doesn't matter much at all, we wont be there
much, we plan on going to the aquarium and the IMAX theater for sure,
and walking around and shopping and all, so I figure we need the
money for those things more than we need a nice hotel. I booked us a
room in a very old hotel, very, very old. But very cheap too. It's
only $50 a night. The reviews on it are mixed, and it has a 1.5 star
rating! Not very good at all, but definitely an adventure! Some
reviews said it was exactly what was expected of a $50 room, a clean
bed and hot shower, others complained about hookers in the lobby and
cracks in the ceiling.... Like I said, adventure! We wont be there
much, just a place to sleep and big daddy has his gun and permit to
carry and I have my angels and my faith, so I think we will be safe
enough. Just let me say, if we were planning on taking anyone else
with us, we would not be staying here!

| That's it! |
We
leave in May, and will only be gone for a weekend, but it is so
needed for us! Once upon a time we would take a weekend trip for
every anniversary, but that got put by the wayside and forgotten. We
need to recharge and reconnect before something goes horribly wrong
in this relationship! Both of us are really looking forward to it!
Well,
I think I have managed to tell you all the important things that have
happened lately! For some reason, my comments are not showing up on
Blogger.com so if you wish to leave any, do so on the facebook link!
Thanks for being so patient with me guys!
Until
next time, keep on crafting!
