Family Matters

Loving my potato masher photo/recipe holder

Picked up the current issue of Flea Market Style and I'm totally inspired to create things for around the house.

On the way home from Pittsburg today I picked up a couple of vintage potato mashers.  I inserted a photo pick and voila, these adorable photo/recipe holders.  Lovin' it!

I have a recipe of Grandma Vickie's and one from my Mom inserted in them now.  I'm going to look for some old photos of my Grandmother's in the kitchen.  I think these would look pretty cute in a Christmas vignette, too... I'm thinking with a bow around the handle.  The idea's are just popping.

Kwinn Leyl - 5 months old

I love this picture of Kwinn.

Kristie stayed after the Ladies Cottage meeting at my house and helped me pick things up and put the furniture back in place.

Kwinn can't quite sit up on his own yet and he was making a slow slide towards the pillow in this shot.  

He is such an adorable, sweet tempered child; he just always seems to be happy (unless he's tired, hungry or needs a diaper change...LOL).

I just love this little guy!

Getting Ready for Molli Blou's 3rd Birthday

The Cottage Meeting is over - great success, by the way.  Then Mom and Tony arrived the following day for a quick visit.  They headed home on Friday.  

So after taking a day off I started pulling items out of my stash and made a couple trips to the city for supplies to work on the birthday banner for Molli Blou's third birthday, per Jess' request.  (I better get a move on, the party is only a couple weeks away.)

Here is a sneak peek of the banner... prior to assembly.

LOL... hope you have a good imagination.  I'll post more pictures as soon as it's finished.  Better get a move on it.
