Are you a Pinterest addict too?

I admit it.

 I love Pinterest.

 My in-laws are having a HUGE barn sale Oct. 4th and 5th.  When I look at all these photos...I see projects! Fun, creative projects.

 Almost drooling just thinking about it. :)

Seriously good haul here.
I will post more pics soon and give you the details - hours, address, etc.

It was a creative weekend

My in-laws are having a HUGE sale next weekend in their barn.  I made a few earrings to sell.  And by a few, I mean 52 pair!  What can I say...I got busy and couldn't stop.  I used a jar stamp on scrapbook paper (found at Michael's) as a card to display each pair on.  I think it makes for a good presentation.

Julia & the Penguins Tea Party

 Our new favorite book is Penguin Cha Cha.  So...

 to make the book come alive, to inspire more imagination, to create more funny conversations, I painted a clothespin Julia and added a few penguins from Safari's penguin toob.  Big Blue Eyes LOVED it.  So much so that we had to have an impromptu penguin tea party.

 I am telling you...this is the Book of the Year for us.  She loves Julia twirling red dress. And the penguins are so funny!

 Of course, the penguins had to take a bath and...

eat cake.  Most of the penguins were pretty mild mannered...except one.  Naughty penguin.
