Feeling Wicked??

I always know there's 2 sure fire signs
that Fall is coming,
school started today for the kids
& registration opened last week for


I'm so excited to be teaching again alongside



Here's the project I'll be teaching:




Cindy is such a talented & generous person. 
Her art events are awesome,
no detail is left undone.


The howling begins on
Saturday, October 15
(gosh I hope it's under 100 degrees by then).

I think the event is half full already,
so don't wait too long to sign up!




It was so fun last year.
Cindy and AD used their magic
to transform a little cottage
into a feast for all the senses.
The decorations were over the top,
the food...was scrumptious
& the classes were pretty cool too!



Ann Denise decided decorating that little cottage
wasn't challenging enough,
so now the party's been moved to her house.
I cannot even imagine what she will do.
Can't wait to see it all!









We did some serious celebrating last week.
These babies turned 6!!!!!!!


I can hardly believe it.
They were so tiny when they arrived in this world 8 weeks early.


I have been following Alice W. & little Hazel's story
on the blogs & FB.
It takes me back to such a frightening but miraculous time.


All of you who have premies in your life know what I mean.
But each day they grew stronger & one by one came home.


And things have never been the same!
Happy Birthday Lily Owen & Philip,
Love you all...Mom.



 

Now that school's started back
it's time to get back in the groove ~
I have so much planned for the fall so stay tuned!!

Yes Lisa,
My bother was born (at 6 mos.)in Oklahoma in 1956.
My dad had to go to neighboring Texas to get liquor, because Okla. was a dry state, and the doctors said alcohol helped strengthen my brother's lungs.
He's now in his 50's and healthy.

As for the Wicked Tea, that sounds like a fun day. Have a good time.

You are surely blessed, look at those faces, happy days!

I'm so happy to know you -- I can't wait to watch those little ones keep growing up! They are precious. The event last year looks fabulous and I'm wishing I could make it to this year's. Your Raven project is genius.

Lisa,
Your kid are so sweet and growing up! That event looks dynamite. Why do I live in the wrong town and have to be out of town for The Creative Connection...Not Fair!
Hugs,
Suz

Precious and blessed!!!

Mary said...

Well, happy belated b-day to the little ones. My what fun your household must be.

The halloween decor is fab. I love love love the bird cage. I have been trying to gather up the nerve to knock on the door of an old tattered house with a big rusty parrot cage thrown in the weeds behind their house. I would die to have it for something similar.
