We Turn 40!!!!!

That's right I am a twin, here we are Peter and I on our 1st Birthday in 1971!!! Aren't we cute!!!

Where did my time go?

Our first cook out and camp fire for the year, we have been so super busy since prom passed us. Right into end of school finials, pool season started at work and really busy there. With graduations and parties life needs to slow down. But as you can see in the next photo life doesn't slow down when you get a snake visiting you in your dishwasher....eeekkkk

Isn't he kind of cute, not!!!!! He must of came in the house on the tomato plants we brought in for the night. Lee but him back outside, the poor little guy didn't like Lee kept on biting or trying to bite Lee's hand, his little mouth just couldn't fit on his finger.

Memorial Day our town has a little parade and Lee is one of the guys firing the rifle, it was a beautiful day and then we had friends over for a cookout. Now the tears start to flow, here is our youngest daughter Emilee graduating from 8th grade, she even received an award. We are so proud of her.

Emilee and her father. love this photo, daddy was so proud of his little girl. Boy they grow up was too fast. Now both our girls will be in High School, one a Freshmen and one a Senior.

I have been getting the bug to create some more primitive items, a line of cards would be nice, and some stitchery. I hope to create some over the summer. Enjoy your family and friends with a cool ice tea and a slice of watermelon.

What I've been Doing!

First let me say I will be happy when May is over, what a crazy month for me. Olivia's 17th birthday, Mother's Day, and Prom wrapped up in one month way to much....end of the school year coming to a close next month and now getting the yard ready for summer and working on our flower beds and preparing a garden whoooo!!! While working in the yard my husband stumbled upon this little guy we have named him "Bill" he is leaving under our shed, I said ohhh great he is living life free under our hotel and pretty soon have a free buffet for meals....time for a fence around the garden. But Bill is so cute!!! Olivia's 17th birthday party, it got really loud with the Karaoke singing. They had a blast!!!

Olivia's Prom 2010, here she is dancing with her father before the parents had to leave for the night. It's nice for the parents get to come and see everyone before the prom starts. Great photo moments.

Olivia and Heidi getting pics done at our friends house.

I have been so busy with all this and working now my time is nuts, sorry for the lack of blogging but we are enjoying the nice weather before it's gone...here on the East Coast you take what you get because the weather changes so fast. see ya soon

News from Peggy Lee

I have been busy making scrapbook layouts for awhile now, trying to be creative everyday for more scrapbook inspiration hop over to my other blog http://pegbaker.blogspot.com the flowers are made from strips of fabric I had laying around my sewing area, simple tied a knot at one end and rolled toward me and glued as I turned. I will post a more detailed post and pics soon. I have started my veggies inside but the weather isn't helping us outside, here in East Coast it can be touch and go in the Spring.
as you can see in the this next photo which was at the end of April, we got 9 inches of snow of course it melted right away but yuck, the weather man is saying for more snow this weekend. Come on I want summer already......winter is so long here.

more inspiration-trying my hand at blending inks over stamped images..love how these came out, going to make them into wall art for our house.

Here is Olivia she just turned 17 years old on Wednesday, where does the time go, she was only 7 when we moved home. Olivia is doing a little better with her health but we are still waiting for some test to come back.

Resurrection Sunday

Morning prim friends, today is Resurrection Sunday. Our Lord Jesus Christ Has Resin and Lives!!
Mark 16 (NIV)
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"
But when the looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they alarmed.
Don't be alarmed, he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen!

Celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Today and Everyday-build memories and sing Praises to Him.
Enjoy

Girlfriends Gathering

With Valentines right around the corner, some of my girlfriends are coming over today to make valentines, and home decor for the home. I am going to try to make some special valentines cards, and a wall hanger and some heart bowl fillers. I will take pics. stay tuned....

Where did the time go?

My heart is heavy today-just thinking of when my girls were this young, many years ago. Now being 13 and 16 where did the time go? I have been reading other blogs where a child has left the nest. I am not ready for that, but I know deep down it's just around the corner. Oh how I wish I could stop time, but I know it's for their good to let them go. I am thankful I have a few years left.

Cherish those times now why you have them with your children, because before you know it they are gone. The good side of that is you can make new memories with your children as they start their adult lives. Scary to think of my girls in that way.....

around the house

here is a pic of some of my Christmas primitives that I haven't put away yet. I am so bad this year, my decorations are down, but not put away. On my list for the morning.

Queen of "Bittersweet Street"

I have been scrapbooking alot lately, handmade flower embellishments by me. I had so much fun with glimmer mist to change the color to match the paper which is glimmer mist too.

Little Note

Sorry I have been away for such a long time-after church today I have a long overdue post that I will be sharing, much has happened since my last post. shame on me..please forgive which I know my prim friends will-we all have busy life from time to time.....

more to come

Baby it's Cold Outside!!

Baby it's been a little cold here in New Hampshire!! Saturday night snow fell and left a beautiful blanket of fresh fallen snow. After church on Sunday the girls and I went out to try to build a snowman, but the snow wasn't sticky enough, so they did the best they could and he turned out really cute....

Been so busy since I came home from my mom's in Maine for Thanksgiving, the day after I got home I started working part time at a Pool store/scrapbooking store, so I have been very busy and I haven't even done my Christmas Cards yet...!!!! Christmas is right around the corner. boy...

Today I have my Ladies Quilt Group Christmas Party at my house, so I have been rushing to decorate and clean and I still need to make a homemade item to exchange...ahhhhh but I know I will be done way before they get here.

Happy Holidays,

Peggy Lee

Glitter is a flying!!!

The glitter was flown onto the floor for little miss kittie to run through it!! Glitter world I have been busy in, getting ready for the holidays, and working on some new artwork.

Christmas tag/ornament made from a coaster from our local rest. 99 which I turned into cuteness!! This could go on a tree, or gift or be a present itself.

Our Hero layout is of my mom (who had a major stroke a few years back) my daughters just love how strong and how grammie never gives up. ok the tears are coming so enough of that.

Where did my time go?

Where did my time go? I have been very busy bee these past couple of weeks, getting ready for teaching two workshops at my Ladies Retreat. Alot of work to prepare, 40 kits that had to be put together, alot of cutting, inking, stamping, shopping for last minute items. We are home from the Retreat and it was a fun filled weekend, spiritually refreshed and ready to start the holiday season.

What to Make?

Today started out chilly and a little snow fell, with that today is our Quilt Group Gathering and I am trying to figure out what to make, or start or where to begin. I need to start on my Christmas Homemade, Handmade Gifts and some new decor for our new home. And I am drawing up blanks, I think it's because my plate is full, to much going on at once and this Holiday Season is already filling up fast. I can't believe it is November already, Christmas is in 49 days Oh My!!
Well I need to go find a project to start, finish working on my Scrapbook Workshop that is next week and I have a sick kid home today. Wow it starts....Watch out there might be snow in the morning. ahhhh
