Another Project Done!

While this project didn't take 8 years to finish like the curb appeal project, it has been pending since February. I had to dust it off to finish it but it is done!
10 Journals for writting down precious
thoughts & memories!

Now, if only the largest project was finished....
I wonder how long this one will take!


The TALL Living room walls! One of these days I'll get another spurt of energy! I could use an automatic lifter with a basket to get me close to the top without spilling paint everywhere!

For the first time in 8 years I think I finally have curb appeal! I think I like it! and it was fun to sling mulch!

Karate Girl!

Last week Skyler was tested to get her high yellow belt in her karate class. It was fun to watch but it made me very tense, especially when she was getting punched and when she was kicking the boards.




Why is that girl trying to beat up my sister!?





Choosing just the right boards to break
these are just the right ones...............!
Let's get cracking!

Breaking the second board! Breaking the first board!





Success!! The boards are broken!!!!!!!!!


And we have a high yellow belt!

What my quilt will look like!

I took 3 pictures of my quilt after I laid it out. I can't believe how nice it looks because I didn't really like how some of the squares turned out! It's really something!

Moto Cross Day!

Our church sponsored a day at a race track. I was really worried about it~that someone would get hurt but it turned out to be a fun day & I was wishing I could ride the trails too! Next time I will go ridin' too! The people who own the property are really nice~they like to see kids have fun in a safe enviroment! They all had lots of fun~me too!
