~ a snowy hello ~

we had a gorgeous snowfall one sunday morn. it was the very pretty covered everything snowfall. i love it when it snows like that. when i walked it was soo beautiful with it just covering all the branches, fences, railings ~ so lovely. i am so grateful to be able to see & enjoy Gods' beauty in every day. lil otis went outside looking for the grass to do his potty duty & did not know what to think... the sidewalks were still warm so not as much snow so he decided that the sidewalk would work. since we have gotten more snow ~ otis decided he loves it now & is hard to git to come inside 'coz he knows he has to git wiped off & doesn't care for that much. sucha snow magnet is he! otis is a wonderful puppy. so loveable & very mellow fellow. he has his silly spells & how he makes me laugh. the other furry members of the family are adjusting to the newest member. some times are better than others but they all seem to git along well. have a wonderful tuesday friends! humble ♥

~ my 'lil 'o' s.... ~

what can i say? to see such delight in a little boy & a puppy. spent a wonderful day with my precious grandson owen & he wanted to see otis. we took a walk & played & tried to eat corn stalks laying in the path. i dunno who had more fun? grandson, puppy, yep they did! but i think i had the most fun. i am truly blessed. have a lovely, wonderful week*end & enjoy life! humble ♥

~ doesn't this make you wanna smile ??? ~

does this 'lil face just make you wanna smile??? this is 'otis' our new four-legged fur angel. he is ten weeks old, born july 31st. a brown & white shih-tzu. it has almost been 10 years since we had a 'lil fur ball baby in the house. the other members of the fur family are not sure of him yet, but are slowly coming around. he is sucha good little puppy & we are really loving & enjoying 'otis' ! now we have two 'lil 'o's. our 'lil grandson 'owen' picked the 'otis' name from many we had... owen is sooo precious to us!!! maam'ma gets to see her 'lil 'o' tomorrow & he wants me to bring otis along... so will get pics! have a blessed & wonderful wednesday! humble ♥

~ still trying to git this 'puter fixed... ~

i soo miss my blogging & trying to comment on my friend's blogs... as of yesterday & dayz of calling & all passing the buck as to what is wrong... will see if this works. still git a black screen when trying to git to different blogs or locations. but fer now, at least it is letting me write & so far has not lost a connection. ~ too complicated fer me! just want it to work & enjoy so it is not a hassle. been busy with painting furniture, gitting fall fun things out & going to fun places... hopefully i can git my pics loaded & show you things i have been up to. been out & about with sharon of sweet repose & if u check out her blog you will see the wonderful pics she takes!! i also caved & got a new baby... it was a puppy that just caught my heart ♥ strings. i will post a pic of lil 'otis' later. he was gonna be wilson, since i was with wilson, she bought a wood box with wilson, and we past a street called wilson, actually 2 times since my radar of direction was off, so was my head to git a puppy! therefore the name 'otis' 'o' for 'oh' 't' for 'this ' 'i' for 'is' 's' for 'silly' or i guess 's' could be stupid & lotsa other things. and our grandson lil 'o' owen liked otis, too. so 'otis' it is! it was a puppy or cupboard, my hubby said i did not need either one... true... but... more later... have a wonderful creative tuesday m'friends. blessings & hugs ~ humble ♥

~ a wonderful friday ~

leaving this morn, i stopped at a coupla garage sales. found some old books & a cute 'lil engraved wood frame. next stop ~ fur coats!! even tho it was 80 degrees today, furs were hard to pass up. $5.00 for a box of them, white, biege-y, & dark brown. i am thinking collars & coats for santas! then to a cute shop,( next time pics, i know... ) that i have been selling a few things at. in a tiny, do not blink town ~ along the interstate. the witchy-poos are some i made with the stik noses & some wool candlemats. more on that later. then on to sisters' garden kalona, iowa. it was barbi's fall open house. what a wonderful fall feel it was!! you just wanted to stay all day & enjoy all the wonderful treasures! i bought some mums, they are huge! bushel basket size, just lovely. soo love, love, love fall. there was furniture in the yard, the shops were filled. punkins & gourds all about... i saw my friend sharon, sweet repose ~ check out her blog for more pics! i bought some of her soaps, the carmel apple is awesome. if u need your mouth washed out, that would be the one to use! m'mmm. the upstairs bathroom smells soo good! then when i got home i had a package waiting for me from my blog friend, sweet dawn, the feathered nest. it had the most adorable shoe pin cushion in it & the sweetest red check baby dress. thank*u! thank*u! sweet friend! i am soo truly blessed & honored & humbled to have such wonderful friends! hugs to ya ~ sharon & barbi & dawn! thank*u for a lovely day! humble ♥

~ computer is back home, but still slow...

woo hoo!! i finally got the computer back!!! & it loaded a picture... it took forever ~ and dunno if i will be able to git it published or not since it said it could not contact blogger. there still must be an interference in the house somewhere. too much technical 'stuff' for me! this is a pic of the booth the first of the month after i took some things in. been doing well. this month ~ september so far has been a bit slow. will try more pics later. medical tests came back ok ~ thank*you God!!! will have more at a later date. just wanted to say have a wonderful blessed thursday m'friends! humble ♥

~ 'why' wonder... ~

i am gonna try this & see how far i can git... our computer is running slow, so made some phone calls today ~ all this technical stuff!!! and cords? what is plugged to where? and the computer is setting on a desk with a back on it on the bottom so u can not see where is plugged to what... so i am gonna do as much as i can & let the hubby do the rest later. i can not git a picture to load, it takes too long & then it loses it contact. i just wanted to write to say have a very beautiful creative friday & week*end. along with the computer issues, i have been having some health issues going on & tests ran. most have been coming back ok ~ thank* u God. some are stress related due to family deaths & dealings at this time. we all have things to deal with & i believe we are stronger for all our struggles in our lives. we may wonder 'why' & then i always come across someone less fortunate than i ~ and am so grateful & thank*ful for my small trying times i have... & wonder how i could even ask 'why' in the first place. have a lovely friday & week*end m'friends. humble ♥
