Dear Great Grandma...

The last time you came to visit you were trying to teach me where my nose, eyes, ears and mouth are on my face. I have made some major progress since you were last here...

This is my ear, as in "cute as a bug's ear."

"EAR"

This is the one you were trying to teach me the most and I am proud to say I got it down~

"NOSE"

I even found my...

"MOUTH"

But if I had to "PICK" my favorite, I'd have to say it's my nose-Thanks for taking soooo much time teaching me where it is!

I was trying to stand when you came to visit me a couple of months ago...Now I walk everywhere, I don't even crawl anymore. I even run laughing and screaming when Grandpa chases me through the house! Above is a video of me walking. Thank you for all the prayers you say for me. I can't wait to see you and Great Grandpa at Christmas.

I love you,

Your Great Granddaughter-Noelle Grace~♥ (11 months old)

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow...

The rain and wind has hit us hard here in Seattle. All the beautiful Fall leaves have fallen from their branches~

So before I bid adieu to yieu & yieu & yieu, lets take a quick look back. I took these photos just a couple of weeks ago-The fall colors were breathtaking~

Thank you Lord for being the greatest artist of all time~♥

"Fall Along the Hoh River"

"Rose-Hips"

"Fall in Forks"

Cell Phone Fun & A Little Twilight...

*****
I came across a website that gives out free ring tones, it's called Phone Zoo.

I've been having a lot of fun with it...

When my husband calls I hear Adam Sandler singing "I want to grow old with you."

When my brother calls I hear, "I am your brother, your best friend forever!"

Sometimes I change my brothers ring tone to a suspenseful, "Oh No it's RON calling, what does he want, what does he want???!!!"

Mom belted out this song when we were young so it's set for when she calls... "Yakety Yak, don't talk back!"

My daughter Ronnie...the theme song from "Spongebob Squarepants"

My son Timmy's ring is the "UFC theme song"~ (Of course)

When Lori calls me my phone jingles the "Dance of the Reed Flutes" from the Nutcracker.

And when Kimberly calls me it's "Supermassive Blackhole" (the song from Twilight that is played during the baseball game)

Do you have any special ringtones for your cell phone?

************************************************

Being New Moon is coming out this week I've been adding some little Twilight/New Moon ditties to each post...

Many of you may already know this, many may not: Rob Pattinson actually sings "Let me sign" in the Twilight movie. His singing voice sounds nothing like him...What talent~ he sings, plays piano and acts~

Here is a short video with his voice (Yes, it's really him singing) and some scenes from Twilight that I found on Youtube.

Are you excited for New Moon to come out? Then you might need THIS ringtone which is so funny/It's a crazed New Moon fan.

By the way, what I like about this movie poster is that the island in it actually looks like it IS James Island that is in La Push Washington not Oregon (where the movie is filmed sad to say.)

By the way, some of you were asking about more information on Glue dots... I will do a post on them sometime this week. I think they are one of the most wonderful inventions when it comes to crafting!

~Click on red words to go to websites~

My Most Googled Craft is...

The clear paint pail! Most of you guessed the chalkboard clay pots... Yes, they were popular but not the most Googled.

Here is a winter/Christmas scene I made with stickers. Everything that wasn't a sticker I used clear Glue Dots on~The great thing about Glue Dots is you can stamp a image on paper, add color to it, cut it out then just stick it on the pail.

Here it is filled with Christmas tissue paper and candy. A cute gift for anyone.

Looking for a craft for your kids to make? These couldn't be easier!

The photo above shows everything that is going to the winner~

AND THE WINNER IS.....

Lemonade Makin' Mama!
