Camp trailer memories...

Do you remember Daddy's clock in the old camp trailer? It didn't have animated clockwork quite like this, but was just as lovely! What a darling and talented man!

Christmas Surprises!

I know it's hard to believe, but here I am well into my second half-century, and I'm bursting with excitement for Christmas!! In my efforts to personalize gift giving, I've made many of my gifts this year, and feel almost a little kid again myself! And what's added more to the fun, has been skyping with my sisters while we crafted! Oh how wonderful modern technology can be! It is almost as much fun as our Sister Teas when we get together to make things, though many miles apart.
All finished now and ready to be posted, I hope my lovies enjoy them as much as their Maka did making them! Happy Christmas!!

Cinderella and the Prince 

All the finished characters and a few little kiddies if they really do live happily after after! Can you name a few in this photo?

Monkey See - Monkey Do!

 Doesn't take long for Gracie to follow the leader! I noticed from the first day in Iowa, when ever I'd pick Gracie up, her little legs would just wrap around me, just like a little monkey! And from then on that's what I called her. Not only because of that, but she is full of beans and quick to follow whatever her big sisters do, especially Teagan. A few shots on their front porch when the weather finally cleared (it rained hard for the first 3 days of my visit!) Silly wee monkeys!

Four Wee Girls!

Steph texted me the other day after her ultrasound - I wondered if they'd have to purchase all new baby things in a different hue. Nope, another darling little girl. I guess Libby cried when she learned. She had told me earlier in the week she thought her dad needed to have another boy in the family, so he wouldn't be all alone. Poor dolly. I'm thrilled, I must say!! I love my grandbabies almost too much! Thank you Will and Steph!
Just returned from a lovely visit to Iowa watching the girls and spending time with Will while Steph was in DC. Will post more on that next time.
