What cute dimples.....

Ooooppppsss.... I mean pimples......Bwahahahahahahahahaha. I just had to create a scrapbook page on this one. Harlee came to me one day and asked what was wrong with her face and I just kinda snickered....and said " You've got pimples" She started running thru the house screaming..... a little overly dramatic for just a couple of pimples....but thats Harlee and really any other 10 yrs old girl. I told her she would have to start washing her face more and they would go away or it would make them less noticeable. She has now starting doing that and they have GONE away.

Pimples aside. L@@K at those eyes would ya..... she's gonna rip the hearts out of oodles of little boys, I just know it.....LOL Yes, that is the real color of her eyes. When she was a little toddler and could still ride in the buggy, people would stop us just to look at her eyes. They change color, but only a different shade of green. Sometimes they are almost a yellow color. It all depends on what she's wearing.

Until later, Dimples..............Gotta split...........TFL!!!!!

Happy {HEART} Day!!!!

Below you will see a scrapbook page of me and my sweet valentine on our wedding day. We went to the court house. In the spring we are planning a big bash to celebrate. I love him more and more everyday. We missed out on having our 'date', but we are planning on going to the movies later today to see "The Wolfman", super crazy happy about that!!!! I LOVE me some scary movies!!!!

He surprised me with a bouquet of flowers....... Jeff knows that daisies melt my heart.... That's one of the reasons I named my blog Rustic Daisy....... I could receive a whole room of roses and they wouldn't mean nearly as much to me as one single daisy. He also brought Harlee a single red rose, ain't he the 'bomb diddy'. Since me couldn't go out on our date because of the snow yesterday, he cooked steaks on the grill for us all. Yep, I said grill.....Neither Snow Nor Rain, Nor Heat, Nor Gloom Of Night could stop him on his destiny with the grill. YEP, I took pics...that's my next scrapbook page...... bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Until later, "Heart"y friends...............Gotta split..............TFL!!!!

Snow again!!!!

Yep, we officially have snow in all 50 states. WOW.....unbelievable..!!!

This was the antics at our our yesterday. Harlee had a friend (they're such goobers)over and we made snowcream and I had a gingerbread kit left over from christmas, so they made a velentine's house.....LOL.... And of course they played in the snow. Hopefully tomorrow I can get into my studio to do some actual work....I'm feeling the itch, but maybe thats from the cabin fever creeping up on me already....bwahahahahahaha!!

Jeff asked me out on a date for Valentine's, but I don't think we will get to go because of the weather. He, or I should say, we have been trying to plan a romantic dinner and movie for months and something always comes up. The dating gods have not been nice to us. But like a good girl scout (which I never was one) I'm prepared.....I have T-bones in the freezer and all the fixin's in the cabinet for a very nice steak dinner. I'm sure he will grill them out in the snow......can't wait to take pics of that one....LOL


Until later, fellow snow bunnies..........Gotta split........TFL!!!

Books, books and more books...

As most of you know I'm currently writing a book about the crazy adventures of my Mama. It's a arduous task to say the least. One minute I'm crying the next minute I'm laughing and thoroughly exhausted after a few paragraphs. But I'm determined that it will be finished and published one day. Recently I posted about my friend Linda George that wrote a book about her life as an in-home care nurse. Now, I'm posting about a book that my hubby's dad is in. A small, very small exerpt about him and his courage while under fire during the vietnam war. Below you will see the book jacket and the exerpt and a pic of him overseas.... not sure where the pic was taken or which one is actually Chelsie Rood. But it is him. Jeff is so proud and so am I, even if I never got to meet the man. If Jeff is anything like his dad then I know his dad was a great man too!!!!

Until later, fellow readers..............Gotta read (I mean, split).........TFL!!!!

Goldilock wannabe...............

Hubby is home from a 6 weeks stint out in Sunny California.....LOL So, guess what I'll be doing...yep, you guessed it....I'll be trying to find my inner Goldilocks and snuggling up to my Sugarbear!!!

Until later, teddy bears.....................Gotta split..............TFL!!!!!!!!!!!

Put on a happy face.......

I saw this card on another blog called Stamps, paper scissors..... it looked so fun I had to try it out. It's called a hidden message card. It has the WOW factor for the recipient.....

This is the closed card............ cute enough!

This is the card partially open......looks like something is trying to peek out.....bwahahahahaha!!

Here is the WOW factor!!!!!!!!!!!! The little window opens up to a small stamped image, isn't that cool!!!!
It was fairly simple to put together....a little time consuming, but worth it in the end.

Until later, Happy faces................Gotta split..............TFL!!!!!

Scrapbooking pages abound.....

Here are two of the pages that I worked on at the cabin..... the first one is Harlee at Halloween. She LOVES bugs and wanted to be a Killer Cockroach....bwahahahahahahaha. I took several of those fleece blankets and asked her to lay down and traced it around her.... sewed them together and painted the lines on the belly added some antennas and waaaallllaaaa a Killer Cockroach. The cockroaches on the page were made using the wide oval punch from SU!....

The next one is our Booboo. He is on anxiety meds, he's getting older and things are starting to bother him....:( storms, too many people in the house, etc...... To get him to take the meds I have to wrap them in a piece of cheese. Jeff made a joke that I've gotten Booboo "addisted to cheese"......bwhahahahahahahaha.... Booboo anxiously waits on his meds every morning at the kitchen counter......

Until later, Scrappers...............Gotta split.............TFL!!!!!
