Bobbin Lace LUCKY MOUSE Book Marks


I made some bookmarks for my grandkids for their scriptures. Handmade by grandma. I had fun making them in all different colors.

It was fun to see who would pick what color. I was wrong on all of them. Here's a close up of a blue and white mouse.

Do you know what a bunch of mice are called? I didn't until I looked it up on the internet.

Either a horde or a mischief of mice.





They were easy and fun to make. Only about 7-9 hours from start to finish. I hope my grandkids remember that grandma made them speciality for them.

Creative kids at Grandma's

One day when the grandkids were here and bored. They wanted me to take them to toy r us and buy them something, I didn't want to.


So, I cut some branches off a tree ( I had been wanting to anyway). Went to Home Depot and bought some rolls of bright colored masking tape. Let them do just what they wanted to. This is what they came up with. They had hours of fun and it was cheap.


Last week, Poppy said she didn't want me to buy her any new school clothes. She wanted to go to Home Depot and get some nails, wheels, and wood instead. So off we went to Home Depot. This is what she came up with this time. I still have some wood left for the next visit.




I just love this little girl and her special personality. Weapons are her speciality.


Just ask Poppy about her battle scars she got making it.

SEAWORLD 2011

I went to Seaworld with Melissa and Kids last Thursday.
Seaworld has changed since I was last there. Lots of rides and carnvil stuff and not many fish displays. They still do have some shows, which we went too. The mania ray tank is being replaced for a ride, why.

You cantell the kids they will never win anything from Carnvil games. But, that is what they want to spent their $5 on anyway. @#$%&#$%^ oh well. Then Willow wins this fish her first try. Now we have to carry it all over with us. It is too big for them to carry, so mom carrys it. It was a good thing we were in Melissa's van or we may had to leave a kid behind in order to get the fish home. Grandma fish-sets (this big blue fish) while everyone else goes on rides. It wasn't so bad as I got to rest in the shade. Now isn't that a good looking fish. See how big the thing is.



Lily Catherine Stingy Snow White, and her last name is Princess. Now isn't that a mouth full for such a pretty little princess.








We had fun but was tired when we got home.
