Happy Birthday, Miss Pixie Marie!

Two years later, we celebrate her 7th Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Miss Pixie Marie!

She took off running with her cupcake!

She ran to her bed and devoured her cupcake!

Even the crumbs were gone!

She tried to pretend she didn't eat it!

But empty plates don't lie.

Then it was off to Pet Expo where Pixie got to pick out her present.

Which one will she choose?

She's still not sure.

She's made her decision.

This is what she wanted!

Then she saw her friend, Kathy!

This made Pixie's day perfect!

Happy birthday, Pixie!

Getting Stuck

Well, it happened today.

I got stuck.

I'm getting ready for a show,

and

I got stuck!

I had the wire and tools out.

I looked and nothing happened.

My tool boxes were opened and ready for work.

The box of wire was ready to go.

The heavy duty tools were ready for work.

But I was stuck, so I started to doodle.

So, it's weird.  So I tried another one.

All right, I like this one better.

I'm not sure, but I still might be stuck, so we shall see

Hopefully,

tomorrow will be a better day!

This was fun, even if I'm not unstuck.

It was good to try my drawing again.

I Heart Macro! Getting Ready for the Show

Show's coming up very soon

and

it's time to get Ready!

I'm Still Making Beads, but here are some that are ready!

Here are a few components mixed in with the beads.

Some of the zipper pulls are ready.

 Here are a few of the bracelets!

I still have a lot of work to do before the show, but I'm heading in the right direction.

I HEART MACRO!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Let us honor  those survivors who still fight this disease yet live with love and enthusiasm! Let us honor those fight! 

Three Beautiful Things This Week

Three Beautiful Things This Week was inspired by a wonderful blog that Clare writes called Three Beautiful Things. Everyday, Clare writes about 3 Beautiful Things that happen each day in her life. It's a wonderful blog! I can only hope to imitate her in a very small way.

1)  The race for a cure for multiple myeloma was a success  Nick was the 6th highest fund raiser at the race bringing in more than $2000 for research for multiple meyloma.  Thanks to all who donated to the cause! 

2) Jenny, Nick and I had a great time this weekend.  It was so good to be together as a family again!  Pixie enjoyed her time with Jenny's kitties.  Walter fell in love with Pixie again.  All in all, it was a great weekend!

3) Summer is slowly fading into autumn.  The trees are beginning to change color and loose their leaves.  Slowly, but surely, we will join the trees in dormancy as winter overcomes fall, but for now, we have the beauty of autumn.
