"Shipwrecked" book signing at Country Creek Treasures

The book signing at Country Creek Treasures was really fun today. The girls made the food table in an ocean them with goldfish crackers, starfish cookies, gummy fish and ocean water punch, so pretty. I enjoyed talking with Brian Alvis, the author of the book, "Shipwrecked"..and visiting with my team mates and customers too. Oh, and of course, I had my book signed.. I hope you have all had a great day!

Did some crafting today

I did some crafting for my booth at Country Creek Treasures..I made this other foam head, I tried to make it look like a sculpture, with layers of scrapbooking paper that looked like sheet music, also made the little paper flower..really used lots of modge podge.. then I have a blank spot next to my sign, so I made this gypsy dreamcather, except for the metal hoop and scrapbooking paper, I had the rest of the stuff here...so I really enjoyed my day and now time for some tv. Hope you all had a good day.

Ladies of '67 annual Christmas party

Our annual Christmas party for the ladies of '67 was today at Mitchell Museum (Mitchell House) in Mt.Vernon, IL. . It was so much fun, delicious food, and the desserts were to die for. Several were sick today, Jenny Holsapple left early, but it was a wonderful party. We missed you ladies, get well soon...Hope you all enjoyed your day!

Merry Christmas!

Super moon Sunday

Can't really see the super moon tonight, except between the clouds, still a beautiful night out there...

Annual wine tasting at the Martin's

Once again it was a fun time at the Martin's annual wine tasting last night! A large crowd this year, but that just made it more fun! I just snapped a few pix. Yes, they are blurred because everyone was on the move.. Hope you enjoy this lovely weather today, "Winter is Coming"....(Game of Thrones fans, that is for you).

Food tasting/soup tasting/ music event at Country Creek Treasures, Salem, IL

The food tasting/ Christmas shopping/ music event was a huge success...lots of shoppers came in and I was reacquainted with an old friend from World Color Press who was playing the dulcimer in the musical group playing the Appalacian music...My favorite song of the evening (though most of it was Christmas music), was "Hallelujah"...just beautiful......really enjoyed the evening. (Kent I was talking about Chris Ray...I forget her married name.)

Victorial ornaments

I made these little ornaments out of some old tart tins I have had for years, not sure what I am going to do with them, since I just used stuff I had around here to make them .I just made them kind of neutral so they can hang on the wall all year... Anyway, they were fun to do..I hope you are all having a great day and are starting to get your Christmas shopping done.

Heart shaped biscuits...

I couldn't find my biscuit cutter and all I could find was this heart shaped one...so we had heart shaped biscuits for supper....lol

 

Last camp of the season....or iS IT?

What a perfect camp out last night...so beautiful! We went to Hazlet state park in Carlyle, Il, as it is open all year.. We did do some hiking, but mostly we sat by the fire and watched the sun move across the sky, then set, then rise...we were so relaxed that we had to take a nap when we got home this afternoon...that relaxing will wear you out..lol...anyway, it was one last camp until Spring and it was wonderful. I hope you all enjoyed your Monday.
