Texas Rain Gauge

 

We can’t even fill this one up! It is supposed to be way above 100 all week.

We need some rain, even the weeds won’t grow!

A Small Town, Gonzales

 

is the home to the  Craft Crossing. A super store with so many TH goodies, and tons of other new lines,it is a road trip waiting to happen.

These are some of the ladies Linda and I spent the day with, teaching the Celebrate the Season album. A great store, awesome lunch, and very fun, talented ladies. Thanks Pam for having me and I can’t wait to come back to Gonzales. Hoot!

I just had to have this bed spring wind chime from The Craft Crossing, made by Pam. It will love its new home at the studio!

A Classy Month

 

This month was filled with fun classes. This was at the Rockin R Retreat. A great bunch of students and a great retreat!

This Saturday I will be at Scrapology teaching a Holiday album, almost makes it feel a little cooler around here.

Next weekend I will be in Gonzales teaching Celebrate the Season at the Craft Crossing.

After that we leave for a 7 day much waited for cruise!!!

It is really Hot in Texas

 

‘nuff said!

Summer Things

 

I love photos of the backs of kids in the water! Splashing around in Port A

shopping after a day at the aquarium in corpus.

a zillion steep stairs touring the USS Lexington and so Hot!

Lovin the water, sand and seaweed!

The biggest fish. Tuck reeled this catfish in all by himself!

Keyto  caught the most fish!!

Chillin and cooling in the pool!

Bay Fishing in Port A

 

Tucker is ready.

7:30 am was a little early but we all made it smiling.

He ended up catching the largest fish.

Keyton was the top fisherman pulling in 11 keepers

She caught it but wouldn’t do the touchy feely thing!

Papa caught the first fish, but the red drum was too small.

I only caught 2 keepers, but I did   catch this. The weather was great, the Gulf was calm and we had a great time!

Smash Book

Yep I jumped on the Smash Book Band Wagon for this vacation.

First page! The first few pages will be for GASC and the others are for our trip to the beach and fishing.

Day 1: Eating at their fav hamburger place, seeing the bats fly, and

Shopping for fishing shirts and hats. I bought a Fuji Instax camera that is a revamp of the old polaroid, so we will see how those do. So far this has been so much fun, using up old stuff mixed with the new.

Mini Beach Album

I will be teaching this 6x6 mini beach album,using Graphic 45 paper and embellishments, at our studio this week. Fun techniques and fun album.

Our new topsy turvy dove

 

2 babies hatched Monday and Tuesday on the top of my tomato topsy turvy. I can’t believe how big they are and how close she will let me get!

Fishing is Hard Work

But some one has to do it! Teysha is fishing , napping and sunning all in one easy motion. I am just fishing and the only one to catch a fish!!

After the big catch I needed to read and take a little snooze. Hubby is still really fishing just resting his eyes for a while. A great day at the lake, not much wind and not too hot!

ps. I caught the only fish in case any one cares

Pure Joy

 

The Hawks won the playoffs. Brandan pitched a super game. Think Dad is happy?! Maybe Brandan is too!

Neighbor Challenge

My online friend, Catherine has some new neighbors. Not wanting her to out do me, I had to post some colt pictures. They are so cute and so much fun to watch play and then plop down in the grass for a nap.
