Future BMX Stars

This is the feeling I have had for weeks now. Can you see how hard my child was working just to make it up that hill? I now have the "Jeffersons" song running in my head!

On Sat. we went to East Macon Park where they use to have BMX races when my husband was a child(back in the old days as my oldest son put it). As you can see they all had a blast even if it was 100* in the shade(of which there was none). Now my husband has it in his head to call the recreation dept. and see what it would take to renovate the track and possibly start having races again. I tried to show everyone in these shots except me of course. I did get on my husband's bike and huffed over those little bumps but threatened him (with, well you know what matters most) if he took a pic of that.
Ooh for some exciting news, Sara over at Sadie Olive was interviewed for the Artful Blogging, that will come out on Friday, for her blog, shop and design business. My little ole' blog, that I so ignore in order to keep up with everyone else's, will be shown on page 40. Already I can see a difference in the views that I receive but will definitely be working on a few things in the next couple of days to update my shop and the blog itself. There are so many people I visit on a daily basis that I haven't posted links to and must get that area updated. BY THE WAY....I think I will have a giveaway to kick things off! Leave a comment here telling us some of the blogs and shops you visit daily and I will be giving a cigar box full of goodies away. I will post the pic of the giveaway this afternoon, I must go fill the box first. Obviously it will hold vintage sheet music, old wallpaper, antique lace and buttons, a few baubles and well you will have to return to see what else. I will draw the winning name on Tuesday, Aug. 5th.

This is the way we all felt by the end of the day!!

AWOL

I have been so out of it and can't seem to get back in(whatever that means). Have you ever just been in a funk? It seems I am stuck in one, nothing is going right. I have so many projects going and can't seem to get any of them completed. Oh well, I know no one wants to hear depressing mess so instead I hope any of you that stop by will take a look at the video I just posted. Wasn't sure I knew what I was doing but it works and I love Jason Mraz so please watch and let me know what you think. Have a wonderful day!!

More RED

Old house in downtown, great red brick
New book that I will someday get to!
The side of First Bapt. but what I really wanted you to see was one of the few brick roads that are left in Macon.
This was my great grandmothers chair, very small but it fit her perfect. She
must have added this fabric when the original wore out, it needs a lot of
work but I love having it.

Part of booth display pic for the festival app, notice my red walls
Yes, this is red, so deep it was almost black, pic from the fest.




St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Macon, built in 1823, I think

The title of this book is Life of the Party !

First Baptist Church in downtown Macon, Ga. thought the brick was a great shade of red

Great reds in this old postcard
Not red, but a great book that I just bought at Barnes&Noble
Cross stitch sampler in my living room

All of the items that didn't sell will be in my etsy shop soon.

I was so busy getting things ready for the Daylily festival that I didn't get around to posting more pics for the ISAWRED challenge or some of the crafts we were selling at our booth. On Friday we loaded our trucks and went to Gray, Ga. for the festival and had really thought it would be cool under the pecan trees, boy was I wrong. We had the hottest two days out there, I mean absolutely miserable. Usually we don't start seeing the 100's until July and even August but Friday was 101 and Sat. 100 degrees. No breeze blowing at all and sitting under a tent was horrific. I do not like to sweat and especially when I went to the trouble of fixing my hair and makeup but I literally poured sweat all weekend. It was nasty, running into my eyes down every crack and crevice imaginable, just nasty! When I was a teenager I couldn't wait to lay out in the sun all summer and never once thought it was too hot but now I am old and just can't take the heat. I did get to meet a lot of nice people though, one being Tammy, go visit and say hello. I also met another blogger but cannot find her card, once I do I will link to her so everyone can visit.

I hope everyone has a great week and I will post more pics soon of a journal/scrapbook I am working on.

a RED letter day

I'm back, whadda ya know. I faithfully visit everyone out there and never get around to my blog but while visiting over the weekend I spied this challenge and decided I had to get in on this. Red is my absolute favorite color so I knew this would be a cinch! I didn't say professional so bear with the photography skills. Make sure you visit Sara to see who else is participating in the I Saw Red project.

I have been getting all of my "stuff" ready for the Daylily Festival in Gray, Ga. this weekend. Lots of journals, notecards, tags, altered scrapbook/journals, wallpaper packets and the coolest serving trays a friend of mine has made. Obviously whatever does not sell will be in my etsy shop on Mon. I would love to meet some of you so if you are near by come to the festival and introduce yourself.

I will be back tomorrow, don't forget to visit everyone on the I Saw Red list!!

gosh, I can't believe I haven't been here since the beginning of April. Pretty sad, I know, but it seems that everytime I really get motivated and inspired something happens to stop the ball. The latest was the tornado's that ripped thru on Mothers Day and I am just now getting over all of that. Our town still looks like a war zone but I think all is finally getting back to normal.

I have so much to say but of course no time to do it. I do want to recommend the book P.S. I love you, be Cecelia Ahern. I read it a while back and have just now seen the movie on Friday. As always the book is so much better so make sure you read it as well as see the movie! The best thing the movie has going for it is this man.....YUMMY!!!!!! I mean Scrump-Delish, yummy, yummy, yummy!!!!

All out of order but lots of pics
