lucky number 7

Once again, my odd collection of things I pick up here and there comes in handy!

My grandson turned seven a couple weeks ago, so I threw together this jar of goodies for him and tied on the "7" card I had laying around my craft room.  

Happy Number 7, sweet boy!

two more babies on the way...

Our 20th and 21st grandbabies are due this summer and we couldn't be more excited to meet these two little lovely girls!  So fun that they are both having girls and these two little cousins will be able to grow up being such sweet little pals.  I was in my craft room a couple weeks ago and came across my pile of Shabby Chic samples that I've saved since we first opened the store almost 18 years ago!  I knew they would come in handy eventually :)  I decided to make some simple little zipper pouches for the two mamas-to-be.  Perfect for some diapers and wipes.  I love the way they turned out with the bright turqouise zipper!   

Stay tuned for baby news!

Should I be worried I have a problem, that I saved these for 18 years...

Both these lovely mamas have their own blogs, also.

look out...

I've learned how to take screen shots on my phone :)

I keep sending things to my kids that I find online!  They are all teasing me, but it is so handy.

For example, how much do you love this bathroom picture? Those shelves, that tile, that little stump in the shower...  Now I have this picture saved in my phone for reference.  

Seriously though, I might have a problem...
