Happy Valentine's Day

-
 Yes, I am going backwards
in time as I catch up.
Please bear with me.


The table was set and all ready
for the Valentine's Party
with 3 very special little boys
plus an added guest.

The cute blue bags
were for the boys to take
 home their goodies in.

Loved these little vintage
looking plates.  I think they
came from Hobby Lobby.

The cereal boxes were a Pinterest
find and they were a big hit.


What would a Valentine's Party be
without conversation hearts?

Jeremy delivers Aaron and Caleb
to the party.....


and they soon discover the goodies on the table.

Kelly arrives with David.
Notice the snow on the ground.

Caleb is such a good big cousin.
He likes to keep an eye on David.

Sweetie was in town and she made
heart hats for the boys.
Aaron think he is very
handsome.


David's heart hat.

Let's check out how we look.

Making a collage.

Craft time was fun.

Look at my collage.

I made a heart necklace.


Caleb also made a heart bouquet
for his parents.  On the back of each
heart was a job he would do
to help his parents out.
Thanks you Pinterest for another
great idea.

Heart cookie cutter for a grilled cheese sandwich.

There are "jewels" in this heart shaped bowl which
we put in the freezer.  The idea is to melt the heart
and the jewels will be left.  Each time
I have suggested melting
the heart, Caleb vetoes the idea.
It may be in my freezer until he's 18.

I think Sweetie enjoyed making
crafts as much as the little guys did.

Didn't they turn out pretty?

And of course, the cupcakes were a huge hit.

Happy Valentine's Day.
It's never too late for a day
devoted to love.

New Walking Shoes

-
Image
I have loved the Dansko shoes that I wear when it is cool. But I needed some comfortable walking shoes and amazingly Dansko now makes  "tennis shoes". They are so comfortable, although a little wild.  Probably should have gone with a more neutral pair, but these are fun. And to all the fashion police out there, no, one pant leg is not longer than the other.  It is just the angle of the camera. Sheesh!!!!!

Laundry Dilemma

-
Image
OK, all of my friends in Blogland, I have a problem and those closest to me are getting tired of me showing them my laundry dilemma and of me trying to get them to help me figure it out so I am sharing my problem with you in hopes that some BRILLIANT person can help me. Several, and I mean several of my shirts are getting holes in them. I hope you can see from the pictures below--I have put a red cloth behind the holes in hopes that they would show up better. They start out with tiny little pinprick holes and then they "grow". They are always right about waist level. I have been working on this puzzle for a several weeks because I don't want to have to replace all my clothing every few weeks (although there is a Stein Mart in Colorado Springs.) See the solutions that have been ruled out. not one of my bracelets puncturing the cloth no, I'm not wearing a belt that is puncturing the cloth it does not seem to be something that I am leaning up against the seatbelt ...

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

-

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...
