Welcome.....

To my world of the weird, the strange, the unexplained......... no, I'm just kidding, this is a happy place......OK, maybe I am just a little weird.

 I posted this bottle yesterday and I still felt like it needed something else, all you crafters know what I mean. You look and look at it until you figure it out...or not! Anyway, just added a little dangling agate slice and now it's done....I think..

Black and white bottles

 Here are a few things I have made in black and white using old bourbon bottles. There are a couple of before and after pictures if you are interested. Not really that happy with them, but just trying something different.

My mantle

  I decided to skip Fall decorating on my mantle and just put some random things on there, but I like it, won't have to be changing it until the Christmas season.


 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Shelley

 Happy 56th birthday to my beautiful brown-eyed daughter Shelley Yandell today! Hope you have a fabulous day! Love you! Here are some random pictures from the 80's, (except the first one, which was a few years ago).

a visit with Mike

 We had a wonderful visit with our friend, Mike Schwartz today in Carterville. We went to Giant City State Park a few miles away for lunch at the lodge there! It was a beautiful place and the food was delicious and was served family style. They are famous for their fried chicken and have won lots of awards for it. We drove all through the park and saw the fall leaves, waterways, cliffs and historical places around the area. It was a great day. We drove home in the dark, in the rain, it was pretty treacherous sometimes, but we made it home and it had barely rained here in Kinmundy! Go figure! Thanks, Mike, for a fun day and for lunch!
