New Hat...

While walking throught the Mall of America, Alex stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted an "ancient Japan" hat in a window. He just had to have it and wear it for the rest of the day! He got lots of odd looks at the mall, but I think he looks adorable:


He LOVES to wear hats!

Snow Much Fun...

Alex's buddy, Carson, had his 8th birthday at Buck Hill where we tubed!
This guy was there, but we couldn't get him on a tube (chicken!):


Here comes Bubbie:

He laughs, yells and hoots the WHOLE way down, so fun!

Me with my cool snow dude at the top o' the hill:

We love Max, Carson and their mommies - such a blessing to have them in our lives!

Embellished Doilies...

Last May and June, the uber talented Christine Middlecamp gave fabulous step-by-step tutorials to make 16 Embellished Doilies. These are layers of yumminess on top of Martha Stewart Die Cut Lace Tags.
I've got 11 done so far:

I have a favorite one...which do you think it is?!?

Christine mounted each of her 16 Embellished Doilies on a different piece of pattern paper and "pieced" them in a shadow box! I cannot wait to finish mine and do the same.

Thanks for popping in!
