Pink Socks!

Oh my goodness what was my husband thinking????? I am absolutely thrilled with my new screwdriver....but PINK socks????? They are a bit over the top for me....I really liked his grey wool socks much better.....He told me these were feminine.....but I'm NOT a girly girl....that is just not who I am....give me some blue jeans a tee shirt or sweat shirt wool socks and my birkies or clogs and I am a very happy camper.....

Well I am getting very excited .....Anne and I leave early Sunday morning for Massachusetts for the trade show and Monday with Tim Holtz.....I'll keep you posted as to how it goes....I love an adventure......Have a great day. Robyn

Week before B-Day- Daughter takes me for a new hair do!

Introducing Sirago

Good Morning everyone I would like to introduce my new granddog Sirago. I am one proud Granddogmama! I can hardly wait to get my hands on him and hear all about the ride home. This is a very special part of our family.

I spent the day at the shop with Connie yesterday and am looking forward to Jimmy Buffet day on Saturday the 8th. I did purchase a couple of stamps and I'll post them later.

Have a great Tuesday!

Photos I Promised!

Here is where I hung out with my friend Connie at Your Maine Stamper on Monday....well actually I worked with her getting ready for the 8th of March Jimmy Buffet Event!

Please take note the lovely scenery from the back window....snow, snow and more snow...and in the chimney picture 1/2 of that fell a couple of weeks ago because the snow decided that it had been up there too long....LOL....Enjoy.....and if your warm and cozy...ie 70 degrees F. I am moving on in!

Sunny Days are Here Again!

Ok so the sun did shine today.....yeah! As you can see we do have lots of snow, yes those are golden retreivers way back by the snowbank!

My daughter and I went to Sam's Club before she and her hubby left to go home to NY. We had fun as always shopping! We came home and got the car loaded and they are off.....It was great having them here for almost 2 weeks!

Well as I promised I have been doing some research and will be getting classes together tomorrow. Wishing you all a great evening and until tomorrow.

Snowing Again!!!!

OK......so I knew it was going to happen.... it is snowing again.........talking to my friend Connie this morning and she let me know that we usually get about 40 or so inches of snow....we are now at well over 100 and counting.....On the positive side it is March 1st and spring is on its way .....Right?

Oh, my it appears in this picture that it is time to scrape and paint the house again.....didn't we just do that....oh yeah it was almost 5 years ago and I guess that paint doesn't last that long! Well that project will be on the back burner for a while! (wink)

Have a great weekend all! My plan is next week I'll get cranking on class projects!
