It's a Party

A celebration was in order for our 6 graduating seniors of our Young Women Laurel class




 and the others finishing up their junior year.
 We were missing a few girls so we celebrated for them too.



YIPPEE!

COOOKIE

My monster cookie jar will have a hard time staying filled,
 with the 6 little cookie monsters always hungry for his contents.

Copy Cat
 

I like creative people and all their great ideas.

I copied this idea.

Take a jar, any size or shape 
The one I used is a  large pickle jar  
Choose your color. (craft paint)
Put paint in jar and swirl it around until coated
Tip upside down to get the excess paint out
  Let Dry.


 I added a little vintage trim


 and the last of  my peonies


This jar will make a great outdoor vase for my picnic table.
  Perfect for the flowers cut from the garden and yard.


and if the grand kids break it, I'll just make another one
no worries

this summer

This summer I want to take the advice of the rock
 and do more of it.


"S" is for
summer
 sun
 swim 
 swing



and my last name.



oh yes, and sit
 I am going to do more of that too


the "S" is made from oil cloth,
and filled with a little stuffing

little red wagon

For many years, my little red wagon has been pulled around,  filled with children, our dog Tucker, toys, gardening tools and flowers.
.
  It is starting to show it's age,
 much like the person who does the pulling.

  Dings, dents and lots of rust spots.
