The Kellio

O.K. it really is a Patio BUT why does my friend Patty D. have every wonderful outdoor room named after her. Well in Protest I am calling my special little place THE KELLIO. The very fun thing about the Kellio is that 90% of the furnishings, decorations are from garage sales. Please come on in and sit for a spell for soon it will be too chilly to enjoy.

Thanks for visiting, autumn will be here soon!

ENJOY!

The Wizard Came to ME!

Another wonderful swap hosted by Sherry at If You Could Set Your Soul Free.
Who doesn't love the Wizard of Oz, a childhood memory for almost all of us. The Wizard and Valerie from All the Queen's Chocolate made a special delivery to my house straight from the Wonderful World of OZ.

The Scarecrow brought be glorious sunflowers and beautiful flowers from the fields of poppies.

Glenda the Good Witch sent along magic fairy glitter (how does she know Martha Stewart?) and Dorothy send me red glitter from her famous ruby shoes.

The Wicked Witch (OH I am so glad she didn't bring her monkeys) sent beautiful ribbon that I think that was the only thing left of her dress when Dorothy threw water on her. The munchkins didn't forget about me the lollipop kids candy bracelets.

Toto is sticking around to show me the yellow brick road paved with Ghirardeli Chocolate.

Thanks to all of you and especially to VALERIE and her little friend, Toto, for making my swap so special.

Enjoy!

A week of Swapping!

I love participating in Swaps. So many of you have such great and fun ideas for all of us to indulge in and are willing to take the time to coordinate the swap. This week I have 3 swaps off in the mail and I can't wait to show them to you. I must admit at times I wonder why I do the swaps but when I am finished with a project it is a great feeling and giving it away to a new friend is even better.

Heather of A Speckled Egg is the wonderful hostess for this swap. She is celebrating her blog birthday with a Birthday Tag Swap. I must admit making cards for me is the most challenging, I am inexperienced at this craft and have yet to learn all the tricks of the trade. So please be kind.

A little Birthday Thank you to Heather, Happy Birthday dear Blog.

Now that I have my swaps off I am looking forward to visiting many of my missed blog friends. Hope to see you soon. Take care and enjoy!

The Par-Tea was a Success!

Last Thursday was the Crea-i-tiv-i-tea " Show and Tell Luncheon". Oh we had fun. Put 18 talented ladies with their latest creations, great food and drink how could you help but have fun.

It was a great reason to finish the mosaic cakes I started about a year ago. Finished on Wednesday night and filled with flowers from my garden on Thursday morning.

I was amazed how many TRULY talented artist there were but few knew about the other's talents. I watched as old and new friends discovered things about each other that they never knew. I personally feel that my art is a very personal aspect of me that I rarely share in my every day life, so the opportunity to share with like minded ladies was fantastic.

Take a peek at how much fun we had! The tables were set

We put an vintage family quilt on the pool table for everyone to display their art.

I have to brag a little bit...this is my mother's needlepoint. She designed, made it and finished to frame. It was a hit!

Of course the kitchen was a popular gathering place too.Every one brought a salad or a dessert and it all was yummy!

My guest left with new friends, new ideas and a little favor with the tea recipes we served tucked inside.

Wishing you great friends and creat-i-tiv-i-tea!

Enjoy!
