Happy Mother's Day and Give-A-Way

LOL  It rhymed....


I want to wish everyone a great day today!!  Whether you are a mother or not....I hope it's a good day for everyone!!!


I got a package last Saturday, it was from my youngest son and his wife.  I know my mom won't believe me, but I swear....I waited til this morning to open it!!  It was hard and I was tempted, but I must be maturing in my old age....not really old...but probably not really maturing....anyways...I struggled through it and wait to open it this morning!


It's it awesome!!  I absolutely love it!!!  


As with being a mother...whether it's with young kids or dogs.....I started my morning off not being able to sleep in ...due to a big ole boxer tongue saying "Hey mom....let's play...I need to go out....wait let's play...out...play...come on mom get up!!!"

This is only a face a mother could love!!!  And boy do I love this goofy boxer!!!

So here I sit....the birds are chirping...the chipmunks are playing and the squirrels already came by for their morning breakfast!


I love this view!!  I could sit here all day...why is it when I want to take a picture of all the birds that visit...a beautiful cardinal and a vibrant blue jay were just here....they fly away as soon as I get the camera out...I think I need to get some Army camo from my sons....now there's a visual LOL

Finally got one!!  So red!!

Ok....to the Give-A-Way!!!

  2. I love epp. Have about 3 projects going right now. I got hooked when I received a sample bag of paper pieces at quilt guild a few years ago and it's been an ongoing love affair. I' m going to visit my grandchildren this summer and I would love to have this giveaway to use to teach them epp. Whether I win or not I plan on showing them how it's done. Thanks for the opportunity to win this gift. Keep up the good work.

  5. I would add some yellow for the center, some green Paper Pieces jewels and make a table runner. And then I would show it off at Weekend Sew and say "look what I won!" Such fun! Thanks, Kris

  7. I would join the hexie craze you and Melly are in! Purple is my favorite, maybe white centers -- would be cute coasters!
