My first hAnglar card & some pictures

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so happy to get a few things in the mail today.

First of all, these beautiful papers from a challenge I won about 8 wks ago.............Took a long time go get these puppies but I have em & I love em!

Secondly, these adorable, loveable, cutsey, whootsie hAnglar & stAnglar images from my bestest gal, pal, blogger buddy boss over seas!!! What a treat!

This is my first time coloring one of these adorable lil people & it won't be the last!

I put two & two together and got this Christmas card.

Because I will be sending this to Operation Write Home, I was not allowed to use bling (glitter or rhinestones or swirls of flash) as these cards are going to our heros of war & all the bling puts their lives in danger if caught in just the right flash of the night sky! Please read more on this HERE before making a card for this cause!

Oh how I wanted to add bling, glitter & Zing! But I withheld!

NOW if your still with me................

I have some pictures to share!

Here we have a few pictures of The Honorary Prairie Fairy GurlZ at our annual Marketsquare Sale table.

We got two spots this year, Trisha supplied the tables & card holders.

As you can see by the table below, sales were BOOMING.....well, not really but I had to get a shot of the Prairie Fairy herself workin the crowd! She got some more people hooked on her stuff that day!! Woo Hoo ! you go girl!

This is a picture of my son Reade. He turns 3 TODAY!!! OMG!!!

He is a 'self taught' bike rider.

What I mean is, while I sit at the table crafting, he runs in & out of the house off & on his bike.....

.....& before I knew it, he said 'mom come look'....he was riding up  & down the cement walkway to our deck! (small walkway, small deck [a one stepper] ).

So I had to take him around the neighborhood and flaunght his bike riding ability!

Dressed to the nine's my son, who found his rubber boots on a nice summer day!

This is a picture of my daughter waiting for the bus on the first day of school .

Nine going on 16 !

Into grade 4 this yr......BTW she hates it already!! Bwahhaaha!!

And this is my son playing with his sister on his first day of school .

It is a struggle to get him here every morning & he has cried every day for about 5 mins after I leave, then when I pick him up he talks non-stop of what he did & sings the songs they sang that day!

It's definitely a 'love-hate relationship' !

Thanks for taking the time to come check out my blog today.

Don't forget about my candy at the top of my blog, until Sept. 26!
