DID I TELL YOU...................

DID I TELL YOU I LIKE TO SKETCH, AND PAINT, AND MAKE CRAFTS, AND HAVE CRAFT SHOWS. WELL, I DO. MANY YEARS AGO I USED TO DO IT ALL, I STILL MAKE CRAFTS AND HAVE SHOWS WITH MY DAUGHTER JACKIE. I ALSO LOVE TO WRITE SHORT CHILDREN'S STORIES, AND ILLUSTRATE THEM.

CARMELINA LOUNSBURY FROM CREATIVE CARMELINA HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIFT OF AN ARTIST. HER WORK IS SO LOVELY, AND SHE INSPIRED ME TO PICK UP A SKETCH BOOK AGAIN, AND JUST SKETCH ANYTHING. SO I DID..........

THIS IS A BALL OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF LONG GRASS, MADE INTO A HOME FOR A LITTLE ANIMAL..

TEA TIME................................

MY FAVORITE FLOWER, VIOLETS. I DOODLE ALL THE TIME, BUT REALLY ENJOY PUTTING IT ALL DOWN IN MY SKETCH BOOK. AHHHHH....TO GO BACK 30 YEARS, WOW! THAT WOULD BE NICE. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY............RIZZI

MY LADIES.................

I BOUGHT THIS STATUE A WHILE AGO, JUST CAME ACROSS HER THE OTHER DAY WHILE OPENING UP SOME BOXES. I THINK SHE IS ELEGANT. I JUST BOUGHT SOME NEW WHITE WICKER FURNITURE FOR MY ROOM. SHE WILL LOOK NICE ON THE BUREAU.

I ALSO HAVE STATUETTE'S....THEY ARE SO PRECIOUS......

I LOOK AT THESE LADIES, AND THE WAY THEY ARE DRESSED, SO LOVELY. I WONDER WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO LIVE IN THOSE DAYS? RIZZI

MERMAIDS ARE TREASURES FROM THE SEA......

I LOVE MERMAIDS.......SO WHEN MY DAUGHTER JACKIE, AND HER HUSBAND PAT WENT AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND TO MYSTIC, CONN., SHE BROUGHT ME BACK SOME MERMAIDS.

THIS IS AN ORNAMENT I CAN HANG IN MY WINDOW, OR ON MY CHRISTMAS TREE, OR REALLY ANYWHERE.

THIS IS A BOOK MARK.................

THIS IS A BOOK MARK, THE BEADS ON HER TAIL HANG OUT OF THE BOOK, IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

I HAD A VERY NICE MOTHER'S DAY, OUR WEATHER WAS WARM WITH A COOL BREEZE, THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS, AND I GOT BEAUTIFUL GIFTS.

MOTHER'S DAY/REILLY/ & JENNA

MY NIECE KAREN FROM "OVER THE BACKYARD FENCE" SENT ME A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER'S DAY GIFT. NOT ONLY PRETTY LOOKING, BUT DELICIOUS TOO.

REILLY.........................

TIME TO GET UP REILLY, YOUR GOING TO THE GROOMER. MY POOR REILLY, HE IS 14 YEARS OLD, GOING BLIND, BUT HAS A HEART OF GOLD. HE SLEEPS A LOT THESE DAYS, HE EATS WELL, NOT TOO MUCH EXERCISE, BUT HE IS QUITE HAPPY.

WELL......................I'M UP........NOW WHAT?
NOT A HAPPY DOG, HE WOULD RATHER BE SLEEPING.
THIS IS REILLY BEFORE HE GOT HIS BATH, AND CLIPPING. (I THINK HE LOOKS SO CUTE WITH HIS LONGER HAIR, BUT IT IS TO HOT FOR HIM)

WELL, HE HAD A GOOD DAY AT THE GROOMERS, FIRST THING HE DID WHEN HE GOT HOME, HE RAN TO HIS FOOD DISH.

HE DOESN'T LIKE HIS PICTURE TAKEN, BUT THERE

HE IS ALL GROOMED, SMELLING GOOD, AND HE IS WEARING HIS NEW SCARF THE GROOMER GAVE HIM. HE IS SO GOOD, THEY LOVE HIM WHEN HE COMES.

JENNA.....................................

JENNA IS IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEY HAVE THE PROGRAM WHERE YOU MAKE A BABY DOLL AND MUST CARE FOR IT LIKE IT WAS A REAL BABY. ALL THE GIRLS, AND SOME BOYS TOO MUST CARRY THEM EVERY WHERE THEY GO. SHE HAS A BABY GIRL NAMED PENNY. HAVE A NICE DAY, AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY. RIZZI
