Hi, I haven't posted in here in a long time. I sure hope this year will be a better year healthwise. Last year I had back surgery and congestive heart failure and blood clot in my legs. My husband had five by passes done this past year.
Well I didnt start the new year off again right. Had to go to ER New Year night with my legs. Then this week fell at my sisters house and had to go to DR. Just a bad bruised knee. Thank goodness I didnt have any broken bones in my knee. I know The Good Lord has been watching over us and close to us to bring us out of all of the sickness that we had last year.
My daughter has a blog in here also and she is so good at blogging her pictures and writes in her blog most every day. I am so dumb at this and dont know how to upload pictures. I have a new desk top pc and also a lap top. I really dont care for the Vista soft ware, wish I still had xp. I have tried to scan some pics and they didnt scan. I have also try to download some dics that I saved from my old computer and they want download to the file that I want to go to.
Beth my daughter will be over here tomorrow to help me on this new darn computer. I dont like the new Paint Shop and new Printshop that I had to buy for vista. Oh mercy me guess I am too old to learnLOL. I am in several art groups and love to make cards and atcs. Guess I will just spend time making those and forget about this darn Vista soft ware that is on my new computer. I can do games on it and usually at night that is what I do. So much for my dumbness on the new pc.
I am sick of this cold weather. We have had coldness in the teens and twenties for the past two months. No snow to go with the coldness, just a light dusting one day this week. Beth and I thought we might get it next Monday but now they are saying that we want. I just get up in the morning and look out the window and guess what it is going to do, just like the weather men that are on TV stations LOL.
Guess I will get off of here and eat dinner and then do some art work or play games on pc.

Trying this out
Havent been in here in a long time. Beth showed me how to get back in here. I hope I can do this daarn thing again. I know Beth has kept up posting on what all has happened with me. Today I finished my third nerve block. I really feel like it will help my back pain. Time will tell!!!!!
My husband and his son Robie is leaving for Oklahoma Nov 4th and will be gone for a week. Beth will watch after me at night time, but I am doing fine and I will go and visit my sisters for three days. Beth and I will work some on our banners for Jane swap and we are giving my first granddaughter a baby shower Dec.6 so we will work on invitations for the shower. We plan on covering a five gallen paint can with baby paper and put baby lotions, powder and all of the little stuff that my greatgrand child needs. I have 2 other greatgrand children, but I have never seen one of them to this day as they live in Alabama and not heard from them in several years. I also hame another greatgrand child that I have only seen one time as they also live in Alabams and doesnt come to see me. My granddaughter Emily comes once a month to see me or calls me once a month. So much for that.
Robie my stepson has come to live with us and we really dont know what we would do without him and Beth taking care of us. Robie drives us to doctors, cooks for us and cleans the house and Beth has made our house and flowers outside beds so pretty. She has cooked some and clean my house also. She comes over every afternoon to check on us. Robie is retired and he is a big help to us. I am hoping I will be able to do more after these injections in my back. I am still on a walker and hope that I can go to a cane soon and be able to cook some.
Now I am going to try to upload some of my art pictures. Beth showed me how to do it. Heres hoping that I can do this LOL

Here I Go Again With My Blog
January 19,2008
I am trying again to write in my blog again. I just dont know how to do different things in my blog. For instant uploading pictures of my arts and how to do a lot of other things that you can do in your blog.
A lot has taken place since I last posted in my blog. We bought a house next door to us and we had to remodel it completely inside. We had all of the rooms painted Bisqui, except the kitchen we had it painted white cabinets. We already had hardwood floors in the den, dining room and halls. We installed hardwood floors in the kitchen and Breakfast room. We had tilted windows installed also. New carpet in both bedrooms and in my art studio we had vinyl that looked like hardwood floors. We already had a brick fireplace in the breakfast room and my dear husband gave me a corner natural gas fireplace. We still have a lot of work to do on the outside but guess we will wait until spring to do that.
Beth my daughter and her husband Dan bought our house that we moved out of. They repainted the den, kitchen and her art studio. It is so nice to have her right next door to me.She also does arts and we will be close to do our arts. We even will cook up meals and exchange the meals. Beth is planning on doing all the yard work this summer. She will plant flowers in her yard and mine since my husband and I arent able to do so. It is great to have your daughter living right next door to you!!!!!
I am sitting and waiting to hear from my Doctor as to when I will have my back surgery. My heart doctor gave me the okay to have it done as my stress test was normal. I hope it will be next week as my back and legs are in bad shape with pain. I cant do much shopping or standing a long period of time.
We had a good Christmas as all of my kids and grandchildren were here for dinner and then we had Santa. We had a good time.
Guess I better get back to making ATCS for the swaps that I am in. I hope to upload some pictures of my house and arts, but may not have enough sense and know how to do it.
Have a good weekend.

I am back from trip to New York
Oh my!! What a fun time I had on my trip to The Big Apple. My friend Jane was a great hostess. We done and saw so much. The first day that we arrived at Janes in Newburgh we had lunch at The Fireside Grill on the shores of the Hudson River and then we walked along the sidewalks on the banks of the river. It was a beautiful walk with all kinds of rose bushes and flowers. Then we went to Jane's house and what a great hostess. We unpack our bags and had a great steak dinner. We done some crafting and look through some of Jane's books of ATCS. She had over a thousands ATCS. To bed we went as we had jet lag and we were tired also as we had to get up at 5 A.M. that morning to be at the airport 2 hrs. before take off. Our flight was great , no terrist thank goodness.
Monday the next day Jane had a great luncheon for us. She had 6 of her friends over for us to meet. All of her friends were crafters of some kind of crafts. We met one of our group member on the internet that does scrapbooks and she had her scrapbooks to show and tell about how she does those books. Also Jane's friend had a beautiful quilt that she showed us that she had made in 3 months time. She also makes beautiful greeting cards. Jane also showed us how to make a pull out card and we made the cards. We all had such a good time and the food was delicious.
Tuesday we got on the train to go into New York City. The train ride was wonderful it rode along the banks of the Hudson River. It took about an hour to get into Grand Central Station. We took a scary cab ride to our Hotel The New Yorker. This was my first time to be in New York city and I couldn't believe all of the traffic and people. So many cabs and the way the cab drivers would drive. I was kind of uneasey riding in the cabs LOL. We arrived at our hotel and had a wonderful suite and a great view from our window in the living room. We could see the Empire state building and all of the other tall buildings and all of the people on the sidewalks. We were on the 24th floor. It was a beautiful site at night time with all of the lights and the Empire all lighted up. We got ready to go to see The Phantom Of The Opera. We took another scarey ride in a cab to it. Oh it was a great show the costumes and musice was wonderful and so colorful. The acting was also great. The Majestic theater was beautiful inside. I wished we had taken our camera to the theater to make pictures of the inside of it but we thought we couldnt take our cameras inside but we could but couldnt make pictures during the show. We had seats four row back from the stage and it was great to be so close to the play. After the play we had a bite to eat and returned to our hotel. A great day in the Big Apple.
Wednesday we had breakfast and off we went on our tour bus to the Empire building. We were searched just like at the airport to enter the Empire building. We went all the way up to the orbervation tower which is 86 floors up. A great view from the tower. We made some great pictures. And of course had to buy some souvenirs. We then went to China Town and Little Italy. China Town is the second largesst China Town to China Town In Californa. We walked and walked the streets of China Town and jewed the markets down on their prices. I bought a watch and other things that we jewed down the prices which we were told to do. We got back to the Hotel and boy I was so tired. We had dinner and rested and then went to bed as we were all so tired.
Thursday we hopped on the tour bus again after a good breakfast and off we went to get on the Ferry to go to Liberty Island to see statue of Libby. It was a beautiful ride on the ferry and a beautiful island. We walked all around the Statue of Liberty and made pictures of the island and our lady Liberty. It was a hot walk and had ice cream to cool off. We bought more souvenirs of the grand lady and the island. We then took the ferry back to the city and boarded the tour bus again. We saw where the towers stood on the awful day of nine eleven. It was so heart breaking to me that I had cold chills. There was a fense full of tiles that children had made in schools all over the world in memory of Nine Eleven vitoms, over a thousand of the tiles that was on the fence. We got off at Central Park and took a carriage ride through the park. All kind of flowers and trees a very beautiful park and the carriage ride was great. By the time we done all of our site seeing it was getting late and we had to get back to the hotel and pick up our luggage to board the train back to Janes house. We got back to her house at nine p.m and her husband met us at the train station. Boy we were so tired we had ice cream and then hit the bed. It had rained that night and a cold front came in and the temperture dropped to 44 . It was really cold and damp and wind blowing hard.
Friday morning we went to Mohonk Castle. Mohonk Castle is a resort on a beautiful mountain. Jane had made reservations for lunch there for a lunch outside on the lake. We had a great meal of barbeque ribs, yams and all kind of salad and vegs and deserts. It was beautiful place with a beautiful hotel like a castle and the flower garden was beautiful with every kind of flowers you could name. Beth hiked up to the top of the mountain and Jane and I sat by the lake as I wasnt able to do the hiking. We left the Castle and went into a little village shops and we shopped until we dropped LOL. We got back to Jane's house and we were so tired that we order a pizza and then we had to pack our bags for Saturdays flight back home. Oh we did hate the thought of having to leave Jane and New York. We had such a wonderful time with Jane and site seeing in New York but we knew the time had come for us to leave.
We left for Nashville at 8:58 A.M. and arrived at 12 in Nashville. Beths husband met us at the airport. We have great memories of our trip to Janes and our days in New York. We will post some pictures of our trip soon in our blogs and we plan on making a scrapbook of our trip. We will always treasure the trip to New York and will never forget it.

New York Here We Come!!!!!
Well it is about time for Beth and I to go and see Jane in New York. Today is Wednesday June 12th. We will fly out of Nashville June 17th at 6:40 CDT and arrive in Newburgh N.Y. where Jane lives just about hour from the Big Apple. We will arrive in Newburgh at 1:45 EDT. She said she is taking us to the river for lunch. I can hardly wait to get there. I have already started packing my suitcase LOL. I always pack too much clothing that I want wear but I guess that is a woman for you LOL! Jane has really worked hard on plans for Beth and I. She is having a luncheon and craft meeting Monday for us. Then Tuesday we will take the train into N.Y. City. She has already made reservation for us to stay at The Plaza Hotel right across from Madison Square Garden. Ashley her daughter will meet us and that night Jane, Ashley ,Beth and I will go see Phanton of the Opera. Wednesday we will go site seeing and shop. We will take the train back to Janes house on Thursday. Friday we will go and have lunch at The Castle in the woods. Saturday we will fly back to Nashville Boo!Hoo! I will post some pictures in here of our trip to Janes when we get back. I know we are going to have a lot of fun with Jane. She is a very dear friend of ours. I made her a surprise package to take to her. I hope that I can do all of the walking to see the sites. I am taking my walker and my cane. My walker has a seat that lets down and when I need to rest I will just flop down and let Beth and Jane stand LOL. Oh might take turns with them to use my walker seat if they are real good to me, which I know they will help me out a lots. Beth is so good when we go anywhere she always watches after me so I dont fall.
I have really been busy this week trying to get my art swaps out and in the mail. Beth took me Monday to the eye Dr. to get my eyes checked out. I will get new glasses after I come back from N.Y. Monday night I burned the midnight oil so I was able to finish all of my swaps and Round Robin cards. I had 30 R.R to add something to and send them on to someone else. Tuesday I cleaned my art room up. It was a mess trash all on the floor and couldnt see my desk top for all of the brushes,paints, stamps and cardstock. It really looks nice and neat today but my husband said it wouldnt stay that way longLOL!!! It will stay neat until I get back and start on my arts again. Today I cleaned house and been pittling around in here and decided I would write in my blog even if no one ever looks at it. Beth said no one looks at mine because I never go into their blogs. She may have something there as I have been so busy that I havent gone into other blogs.
Sorry about that, hope you will forgive me will try to do better. Tomorrow I go to get my hair fixed, my nails done and a pedicure done on my ugly feet. Friday Beth and I are going to the Funeral home. Our dear close friend in Sassy Stampers a stamping club that we belong to had a massive heart attack and died. She was just 53 yrs. old. She went into the hospital to have a hernia removed and had the heart attack. She was a dear friend and we will miss her so much. I am really worried about her Mom as she is really taking it hard. The family is very close knitted family and such a shock to them. I think Beth posted a picture of her in her blog.
My son is coming in Friday night to stay with Dad while I am gone. I didnt want to leave my hubby by himself as he has real bad dibetes. His blood sugar can drop real low and he goes into a seigure. I had him in the ER a month ago from this. He has had 2 mini strokes and doesnt walk all that great as his balance is off. Robbie his son is so good to come all the way from Oklahoma to stay with him. I have 2 sons and Beth and my hubby has 3 boys. Beth and Robbie helps us out so much, I dont know what we would do without them. Our other children lives in Alabama,Georgia and Oklahoma.
Well guess I have rattled off enough in here and guess it is a boring blog but that is my life except next week I will be kicking up my heels in the Big Apple!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I dont know why I even bother to post in here as no one ever read my blogs. But it is one way to get things off of my mind. I guess my blog is not very exciting enough for anyone to read it. I know it is the "same ole same" but I do live a dull life. But what do you exspect of "A Seventy-eight year old Granny"????
As I stated in the above not much going on in my life. I did enjoy Mothers Day very much. My daugher gave me a pretty plant and she put out my flowers in my flower beds and help me do my baskets on the deck. My deck looks so pretty!!!! My son in GA sent me a Michael certificat I know that I can put to use. My son in Alabama and his wife came up to see me and brought me a bamboo chimes and all different colors of candle wax in a jar. My son also went to barbeque place and bought barbeque and slaw and works to go with it for lunch. He didnt want me to cook on mother day. My grandaughter also called me that night and my son in Ga. also called me. A very good day that I enjoyed so much.
I am looking forward to my trip to New York. Beth and I will be flying in a month to see our dear friend Jane. Jane has really planned an iteninery for us. Jane lives in upper New York stae and we will take a train into NY city on Tues and see Phanton of the Opera and site seeing on Wednesday and back to her house on Thursday and she will take us site seeing in Newburgh where she lives. I can hardly wait for June to come and get away for awhile. I will make a lot of pictures and if this darn blog will let me upload them I will do so. I havent been able to figure out how to upload pictures yet, but maybe my daughter Beth can do it.
I am caught up in all of my art swaps. I guess I will work on my shipping tags book that I am hosting for June first. It is hard to stay inside of my studio when it is so pretty outside. I just want to sit outside on my deck and watch the yellow finchs on their bird feeder that we have for them. They are so pretty. I have tried to make a picture of them but they fly away if I get too close to them. We have had a few hummingbird also. I need to fill my feeders up for the humming birds. They have been getting nectar from all of my hanging baskets. It is so pretty here today and the temperture is very nice just in the seventies. Oh I do want to go outside but guess I will finish my tags for Summer Fun shipping tag book.
Hope I havent bore any of you with this blog.

April 30,2007
It is finally summer I hope so. I have been real busy today. I thought I better clean my house. I done that the first thing this morning. I was through cleaning by noon. I havent been doing anything excited this past week. A good friend of mine passed away with lung cancer. I went to the funeral home and also took food to her daughters house and stayed and prepare the food and clean up the kitchen. I will sure miss my friend. She was a dear friend and a hard working woman of 74 years old.
I did get Colleens tip in pages done for her book. They turned out fairly good as I am just learning to collage. I done the pages in Vintage women and musicians. I have several more trades to do now. I am going to try cabinet cards next. Hope I am able to do these. I have been looking at some pictures of cabinet cards.
Well tomorrow will be the first of May. Just a month and a half before Beth and I leave to go see our dear friend Jane in Newburgh N.Y. I am really looking forward to seeing her and New York city. June the 17th is the day we fly out to Newburgh. It will be here before we realize it.
I am looking forward to putting some more flowers out and more hanging baskets when Beth gets done in her yard. She will come up and help me put out some flowers. My dh has the planters all ready with gravel and we will sit pots around in the beds. It is so much easier for us to do this as we arent able to pull weeds and the plastic under the gravels keeps the weeds out of the gravel beds on each side of the deck steps. I need about four more hanging baskets for my deck and also some pots with flowers to sit around on the deck. I hope Beth gets through with her planting today as she is off from work today. Maybe we can do some of mine this coming week. We have to go to our DRI stamping work shop this saturday so I guess it will be Saturday week.
Well just thought I post a little bit and try to load some pictures in here of my tip in pages.
Have a good day.

Well tomorrow will be the first of May. Just a month and a half before Beth and I leave to go see our dear friend Jane in Newburgh N.Y. I am really looking forward to seeing her and New York city. June the 17th is the day we fly out to Newburgh. It will be here before we realize it.
I am looking forward to putting some more flowers out and more hanging baskets when Beth gets done in her yard. She will come up and help me put out some flowers. My dh has the planters all ready with gravel and we will sit pots around in the beds. It is so much easier for us to do this as we arent able to pull weeds and the plastic under the gravels keeps the weeds out of the gravel beds on each side of the deck steps. I need about four more hanging baskets for my deck and also some pots with flowers to sit around on the deck. I hope Beth gets through with her planting today as she is off from work today. Maybe we can do some of mine this coming week. We have to go to our DRI stamping work shop this saturday so I guess it will be Saturday week.
Well just thought I post a little bit and try to load some pictures in here of my tip in pages.
Have a good day.

Hope you haven't forgotten me dear friends
Hi all, yes I finally decided I had to change over to Google as I couldn't get into my blog. I know it has been ages since I have posted in here. I have been so busy that I just didn't take the time to change over. But here I am trying to post what all has gone on since I last posted.
I had another birthday in February it was a wonderful birthday. I received over 50 cards from all of my friends in all of the different clubs that I belong to. My two sisters came out to celebrate our birthdays as we all was borne in February. As I once told you we are called The Golden Girls, but the oldest golden girl ended up in the ER. She was very dizzy and heart rate was 170. She is doing fine now. Our celebration was cut short as she stayed in the hospital for 3 days. No we didnt have any Bloody Marys LOL. My friends in ATC Group made me a beautiful shipping tag book for my birthday as they called me The Shipping Tag Queen LOL.
March has been a very cold and rainy days. The only good days were the days that Beth and I went to Tunica and I know that she told this in her blog also. But I just had to say it again I hit the Jackpot and won $5000.00. This will be spent for our trip to see Jane in New York our dear friend. We are leaving June 17 and will be back June 23. Jane has planned so much for us to do while we are there. We are going into New York city for two days and will see Phanton of the Opera and sight see. I am really looking forward to our trip to New York with Beth. We always have such a good time on our trips. Beth is my wonderful daughter and friend also.
I had an awful scare with my husband night before last. His blood sugar dropped down and he had a seigue and had to call 911. The EMTS worked with him and gave him sugar through IV and by the time he had arrived at ER he was to himself. Beth was there for me and my neighbors also came and help me. Dont know what I would do without my Beth and my Neighbors. No I want leave him alone as I am afraid his blood sugar will drop again as his kidneys are going downhill fast due to his dibetic condition. I am afraid that he will have to go on the kidney machine forgot the term for it LOL. His son is coming from Oklahoma to stay with him while I am going to NY. His son is so good to come and help us out. He came and got his Dad and took him back to Oklahoma to spend two weeks with him and his brother back in March. I dont know what we would do without his son and Beth.
Well I guess this just about tells all that has happened in my life for past couple of months. Just the same ole same ole. Thank goodness it has turned warm here and Beth and I went to plant nursey yesterday and I bought 6 hanging baskets full of flowerw to hang on my deck. Beth spent the night with me last night and we sone some art projects and she went home this morning to work in her yard and put all her flowers out in flower beds. She has a beautiful yard full of flowers and yes she has a green thumb. She always comes every spring and does my flower beds as I am not able to do all of the planting. This old back and leg want let me, I use to do it all and I so enjojed it so much and miss not being able to dig in the dirt and put out flowers. It is awful to hit the Golden Years I think they should leave the G off of Golden and have Olden Years LOL.
Goodnight all and hope I havent bored you too much. See you later and will try to post some pictures later.

Been Busy as a Bee
Gee, I cant believe that I haven't posted in here since January 14. I have been a very busy old lady. I have finally caught up in all of my art projects as of tomorrow. I have made a lot of ATCS,Quilt Squares, birthday cards. I am making my two sisters an albumn of us three. We were all born in the month of February and our family calls us The Golden Girls. We always get together to celebrate our birthdays. I have gone back and found pictures of us from the time we were little girls until now the present time. I bought three albums at a Craft Fair last year. They ore wooden covers and I put Gesson on them and then two layers of metalic gold paint. With letters on the front cover Goldens Girls. I hope they will like these Albums. I will make a picture of these later on. February is a busy month for me in making birthday cards and gifts. My daughter Beth was borne Fe15, my son Feb3, my two sister Feb 3, and 10th. My daughter inlaw also in February. I always try to make them something to give to them. And of course I was borne in Februaryk also. I have also been busy hosting a valetime shipping tags book. I am now trying to put the book together and mail out to the 12 gals that sent 12 tags in for the book.
I may go down to Beths house friday night and we will do more art projects. We have such a good time working in our arts together. You know two heads are better than one. I will go if we dont have any more snow here. It is just cold here now 26.
Beth and I met Rosie last thursday in Franklin, Tenn at Hobby Lobby and we shopped until we got hungry. Rosie treated us to Mexican Lunch. We had a lot of fun shopping and eating. Rosie you are a dear and thanks so much for the lunch.
Theres not much going on in my life, just the same ole same ole. I have gotten some relief from having a nerve block done on my back two weeks ago. Went to my doctor today and he was so glad that I had gotten relief from the awful pain. I can shop more now LOL.
I am so tired of this darn old cold weather. I will be so glad "When Spring Has Sprung". I hate the months of January and February and Old Arhtur hates it too. I will be glad to see March roar in like a lion. My husband is planning on going out to Oklahoma to see his sons in March. Beth will be off for spring break the week he is going and Beth and I may just take a little trip to the mountains or Tunica. I am hoping my old leg and back will be doing ok for me to go. We are also planning on going to see our Friend Jane in New York this June if my old leg with let me.
It is getting late now and I need to hit the sack. I will post some pictures later on this week of some of my arts.
Stay warm and nite

Saturday January 14,3007
It is a gloomy old day. The sun isnt shinning and it puts me kinda out of sorts. I have been cleaning this house some today as it really needed it bad. I have been so busy trying to catch up in my art swaps that I just forgot about house work. I hate house work anyway much rather do my arts. I guess at my age house work and cooking soon gets old to you and sometimes just care if the house gets cleaned or not. But I do clean it anyway LOL. I hate cleaning the bathrooms and that is a job that is needed every day or so. I dont do windows !!!! just toilets!!!!!
I am going down to Beths house tomorrow to get away for a little while and I will spend the night with her. We are planning on working on our art projects. She will come after me as we are suppose to have a bad stormy rainy day tomorrow and I dont drive in rain. It is to turn colder after the rain. Beth is hoping the rain will turn into snow and I will get snowed in at her house and she want have to go to work. Dream on Beth!!!!
I am going to try to post some pictures of some of my arts that I have been working on this past week. If not successful in doing so I will just give up on trying to post the pictures in here. So keep your fingers crossed that I will be able to do so. If not maybe when Beth comes up here she can do the job for me.
Hope every one has a good weekend. I know I will at Beths!!!!

January 9,2007
Hello, just thought I would drop in for awhile. It is 11:15 P.M. I really need to hit the sac but not really sleepy. I have been really working in my arts this week and last week. I have made a lot of ATCS cards for swaps that I sign up for and also made a Birthday Card. I will start on making the covers for the Valentine Shipping Tags Books that I am hosting in a group. We have made the Fall Shipping Tags Book and The Christmas Shipping Tags book. They have all turned out so pretty. Our next shipping tags book will be Spring and then Summer. There are usually 10 that signs up for these swaps so that mean 20 covers to make for the books and put the pages together that are sent to me which are 110 pages. I really enjoy doing these books and dont mind doing them as I get to see all of the books after they are put together. It is so much fun to see all of the great art work as we have so many great artist in this group.
The weather is something more here. It rained yesterday and today it has turned cold here. The wind has really been blowing something awful. In Nashville they had a few snow flakes and a little sleet but didnt stick to the ground. It will get down in the 20s tonight. Good night to snuggle LOL. Not much going on in my life just the same old same old day in and day out. I did go to my back Dr. this past monday and I will have a nerve blockage next Wednesday week. That isnt too much fun as they inject steroids into my spine to block a nerve that spine is closing up on the nerve. It is just about all they can do for me. It does relieve the pain but doesnt cure the Spinal Stenoises Disease that I have in my spine column. The injection does give me about 4 months of pain reliefs. Just glad that they can do that for me. Well so much for the latest on my health.
I would love to post some of my arts in here but I dont have much success in doing so. Maybe when Beth comes up here she can post some for me. I just cant get the hang on how to do all of this blogging. Beth is so smart and can do most everything in here. I have tried to post some pictures and some came up ok but some didnt come up. Guess I need to take some lessons on blogging. I have tried to go and read some of the blogs but not very successful in doing that either.
Guess I better hit the sac now. Nite to all and have a good Month Of January.

Waiting For The New Year
Well I am sitting heare waiting for the New Year 2007. Hoping and praying that 2007 will be a better year for not just me but for every one. We usually go to our neighbor's house for New Year Eve, but I took a tumble yesterday and bruised my bad old leg. I just didnt feel up to getting dress and fixing a cover dish to take. I guess this the first time that we have'nt gone to our neighbors house in over 6 years. They are really good neighbors and they really watch after us. When I fell yesterday my husband couldn't get me up off of the floor and he called them. They came right down and took me to ER. Thank goodness I didnt break any bones just bruised up my old bad leg. I am feeling better tonight but just sore.
I wanted to do some art work but just didnt feel up to it today. Hope that I will be up to it tomorrow. I bought some DVDS for my husband for Christmas so we watch those, I mean I watch the movies my husband slept through both of the movies. So I had a lonely New Eve Night.
It is 11:30 right now and husband has gone to bed for the night after I roused him up out of his recliner to take our dog Sassy out to potty. A great New Eve evening I must say. I have always enjoyed going to our neighbors house as we all had so much fun and great food. I really miss not going this new year eve and I know they understood why I wasnt able to come as they are my helpers when I need them. I guess I am just feeling sorry for myself. Didn't mean to cry on anyones shoulders.
I do hope every one has a Good New Year in 2007. I pray that my health will get better and that we will have peace around the world.

Wonderful Day
Well I know I havent posted in here since before Christmas. I had a wonderful Christmas Day with my children(the ones that were able to come) I know most of you have read Beths blog of the account of our Christmas Day together with our family. We had a great day and she posted some pictures of the family on Christmas day. As you all know I am not smart enough yet on this blog to post pictures LOL. I have tried and just guess I dont hold my mouth the right way as they never appear in my blog LOL. After Christmas day I packed all of my Christmas decorations and tree away as to me after our get together with our children Christmas was over with for me. I got real smart and started reorganizing my art room. I packed all of my Christmas and fall art supplies away. Then I typed labels for all of my drawers of supplies so I could go and find what I needed. I was spending more time looking for something than making something. I still like my littler drawers with do dads labeling them. I receive so many wonderful treats from every one when I host a swap in ATCS, Books they really come in handy in my art projects. I really appreciate all those treats that I receive from all of my art friends.
Today was a wonderful day as my sweet Beth and I went out to my two sisters house and spent the day with them. We exchanged Christmas presents with one another. I got a beautiful Christma pillow and a beautiful cream color scarf with my initials on it. My sister fixed us a nice lunch. I made both of my sisters a YA YA Girls Book and knitted them a neck scarf. My oldest sister will be 87 years old in Feb and my other sister will be 85 in Feb. also. I am the baby of us three girls. I will be 78 in Feb. also. We were all borned in the month of Feb.
My oldest sister Adelaide is so sweet and bless her heart she is able to live by herself and cleans her appartment and cooks. She goes to all of her grand children and great grand childrens birthday parties and ball games. She really get around real good for her age. Her eye site is failing on her and she couldnt read the little book that I made her. Guess what Beth done she went to Walmart and got both of my sisters a magnify glass that went around their necks and rested on their chests so they could read the books. They both have the dry degenrating disease of the eyes like I have also, but my oldest sisters eyes are getting worse.
We left my sisters house in the afternoon and we just had to go by Hobby Lobby and Book A Million stores. We had both swore that our New Year Resolution was going to be not to buy any more card stock and supplies. Well 2007 isnt here yet and we bought more paper and supplies LOL. They had some of the most beautiful Valetine card stock and was on sale. We bought some stickers and stamps. We then went to bookstore and I bought 2 new art magazine and of course Beth bought some book on her new toy her camera that Santa Daniel gave her.
I spent the night with Beth last night so we could get up early to go to my sisters. Beth and I tried some new techniques out in the book that Beth gave me for Christmas. We finished our deco books ready to mail to the next person on the list in our round robin deco books.
Beth made some great pictures of our visit with my sisters. I want try to upload them in here as I am so dumb they never load in here. Maybe one of these days I will learn. Beth tried to show me how last night to do it but my old mind has already forgotter what she showed me LOL.
Wishing every one a Wonderful and A Happy New Year.
