Love Spring

I absolutely LOVE Spring...God knew how happy it would make everyone...

Look how beautiful His beauty is...

I don't know about you ...but as a child I loved this "beautiful" sign of Spring...it is like alot of things; when you grow -up you realize that the beautiful flower was in true reality a WEED...I really don't care it still is a sign of Spring and a very pretty Purple...

And then there are the signs of Spring that makes you realize YOU need to get busy in the flower beds and pull the WEEDS...

and the blooming of the trees is always so beautiful...How did He come up with so many different things of Beauty???

and last but not least...one of my favorite plants...money-wart...mine was so lush last summer and I am so excited to see signs of green after such a hard Winter...

Well I hope you enjoy my look at early Spring and take time to see God's beauty around you...B

Snow Blizzard 2011...

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholders...

I am just glad we don't live in Tulsa...I have been in the house 1 day and am going stir crazy...can you imagine weeks of this??? we are so lucky to live in Oklahoma...where if you wait 15 minutes the weather can be totally different...got to love being an Okie...

Well since it is so very cold it seems like Chili weather...

I can and probably should make it from scratch...but why??? Mom used to use the McCormick Chili mix when we were kids and it is really good so I do it the easy way...Frito Chili Pie...Mmmmm!

Hope you all stay warm and don't go to stir crazy...Hope it melts soon...Brenda

Well the New Year is HERE!!!

 Well the New Year's resolution isn't going as I would have hoped...they never do do they... We had a fab. Christmas and I had a little time to be creative so I thought I would share some pics of a book I made one of my Bestest Friends...Neta...this was the first Christmas without both of her boys... they both got married this past year and one is off fighting for Our Freedom and one went to spend the holidays with the In-Laws...so she was a little lonely...so it was up to her hubby to keep her happy...and hopefully the book made her smile too...

 This is for the 2 boys...Brock and Corbyn...

 This is a page for one of her new Daughter-in-Laws...Anne

 Of course she has Dog pages...

 Her other Daughter-in-Law...Kylee

 She is a Teacher and this one was for her

This one is for Corbyn who is in the service...

There were about 34 pages and I really had fun putting it together...I hope she has fun finding pics for it...to me that is the hardest part...maybe you should start with the pics first and build the page around them...Naw...too easy...Have a great Tues. and hopefully I will be back soon...Brenda
