What fun! It makes me want to get in my car and come visit you and Samantha and the Chatty's...I love it...Window dressings!

I was waiting for a picture of the bride and groom....go dig in the closet and see what you can find! Yes, money spent on weddings is insane. I think weddings are beautiful and in Gods plan but we don't have to go broke in the midst of them. Simplify, simplify. Cheers to April 3rd...you just knew that you knew that you knew...Marriage is a joy for me too.

I can't wait for the Winter Olympics. I actually prefer it over the Summer games. I had forgotten it's in Canada in 2010.

That's a really cool idea to write a story and hand out to kids on Halloween night. I saw you last post of the Halloween doll swap. The outfit is so cute! I can see why you were so excited about it!

Yes, oh yes...the story must continue. Have you ever popped over to a blog I share with a couple of other writers called Nowhere? You may very well love it indeed!

2009-10-27T07:12:59.152-07:00

Wow, that is beautiful work! I can't even imagine how much time that must have taken to sew all those details. What talent!
Or course your Chatty Cathy is the perfect model for the outfit too!

How fun, I just went over to visit her. Lucky you...to win! I'm having an over the top busy week, but I'll be back to you with funds for Chatty Calender!
Night night!

Tea time...for all dolls and friends. Today in Bellingham I was at Aladdins Antiques and found a Chatty with an original swim suit it said (darker blue) but a child or some human, cut the poor Chatty's hear up past her ears. It broke my heart, maybe Dolly Mama should go back and rescue her! I still want the Chatty Calender. I'll email you soon and send a money order if that's okay?

2009-10-19T07:51:26.695-07:00

Boy do those look good! Skor bits? This is a Heath bar in the states I think? Or Almond Brickle bits in the bag.

What a delightful time for all of you. I'm thinki...

2009-10-12T20:06:32.498-07:00

What a delightful time for all of you. I'm thinking of all my Canadian relatives in Saskatchewan enjoying family time on the farm. I bet my cousin opened a jar of Saskatoon berries for sure!

2009-10-11T16:03:27.946-07:00

I'm glad you enjoyed the symphony.

Your Chattys look so cute. Mine are so neglected and I sometimes think about selling them, but then I can't. They're still dressed from last Christmas and Valentine's Day.

It is so nice to go to the VSO with your son. Don't they grow up fast? Wasn't it yesterday you were taking him to Toys are Us? You are so fortunate.

2009-10-02T06:56:04.304-07:00

This is one of those milestone moments you will never forget. It's worth many rocks in the rocking chair and front porch sittings...so lovely. No I have not heard of the loose caboose...yikes, I hope there were no gnomes riding back there! The train company really should put in seat belts, gnome size. We vote YES!

What a delightful evening! Isn't it fun to do things like that with your grown children? You're making great memories.

It's sad how some things can't remain with us. It's a good thing we can go back in memory to those days. How I wish I had a piece of the old homestead! Thanks for sharing today.
Have a great week!
