Better Late Than Never

Hahaha...story of my life these days.


Well without any more delays.....here she is! This is my Spring Banner Annie that I made for the contest prize. I think she is too cute. I am in love with all the banners that I am seeing out there in blogland.....especially the ones that Candice Carpenter makes. Hers are to die for! If you haven't visited her blog or her shop Peacoats & Party Hats...run now & go see it. LOL Anyways, I am going to run the contest from today until the 8th. All you have to do is leave me a comment & I will add your name to the pot. If I am able to post during the next week you can comment again & have your name put in again....we all like more chances to win right? I will then pull a name on the 9th & announce the big winner. YIPPEE! So tell your friends to come visit & join in on the fun!

My Monkey In The Middle projects are temporarily on hold for now. We have had some changes occur here on the homefront. Some of you may know that my hubby Jim is moving us back to San Diego, CA the first week of June. Well, do to reduction in work here he is going to fly out April 12th & start the hiring process at the casino we used to work at. So sadly I will be left here to man the fort & pack this baby up. :( Momma is none to happy either. For one thing we have never been apart & thats sad & scary for me. The other thing is....I dont want to pack. LOL So we will be attacking the basement which is the size of our four bedroom house & full to the brim. A match would be so much easier. LOL Just Kidding! I told him I am not letting him leave until the basement is weeded through & packed. So with that being said, I may be on here less than I already am. I am going to try & remain loyal but I am just not sure how this will all work out. I still want to create & am hoping to get some of my things listed until we close the door on the moving truck. I really just wanted to explain my absense ahead of time.






Oh and may I mention again that spring is nowhere in sight here in Northern Idaho. This is what we got yesterday instead of spring like weather. :) I swear we will be moving in the snow in June if it doesn't stop. Hahaha
Well leave your comments & spread the word. If you look on the email their is a box that says Blog just click on that & it should shoot you over to my blog. Then go to the bottom of the post & click on comments. This little mini annie wants a new home. I also wanted to note that she is made from a Denni Doodles pattern that I adjusted in size. :) Denni has a lot of great dollie patterns. Check her out you wont be disappointed. :)



I have to share with you my Amish Friendship Bread.....It came out fantastic. I slathered butter all over the top (Paula would be proud *Ü*) & whipped up a powdered sugar icing with a sprinkle of cinnamon in it. It was yummy!



And last but not least, look at the bunnies I finished up & sent off on their adventure.
Well I am off to sit with my hubby & relax for the night. Enjoy your evening.

Toodles *Ü*
