Dollies are done

Yes, I finally got my two little cuties done for the "Falloween" launch on Ebay. Yay! It was so good to dig into my stashes of patterns, fabrics & oodles of goodies.

I wanted to share a peek at them. You can click on the "Falloween" link above & it will take you to our page on Ebay. Please hop on over there & check out everyone's creations. I am so wanting to keep my two little dollies to put up in my new craft room. LOL Is that stingy or what?

I am in the last stages of completion on my Mini Halloween Album & my reversible Falloween Banner/Garland. I think I will be listing those in my Etsy shop (CountryCreekCreation). I prefer to list there & am very comfortable with the process. I cant wait for you to see those. I have never done a banner but have always wanted to. My only regret is that I didnt make two at the same time. Would love to hang this one in our new home. Well, stay tuned for their debut. :)

Well, I am off to bed. I am exhausted. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone. ~Toodles

P.S. I am thinking that it's time for another blog giveaway. I will be making something special just for you. Stay tuned for the details on how to enter.

He's growing up to fast

Well yesterday was the first day of school. My baby started the sixth grade. :( Gosh I remember his first day of school getting on that yellow bus looking so tiny in comparison. He's my last one & I just remember how fast it went for Tarynn & Taylor once they hit junior high. He's gonna be gone before I blink. It makes me sad to think that I am heading into a new season of life without my kids in the home but with that new season brings a new grandbaby. We are just thrilled about that.

So anyways before I get to worked up. I felt bad for Travis yesterday. He is in a new place, new school & this is the first year he has multiple classes. A little overwhelming for him. Travis suffered from mild autism when he was born & routine is very important for him to function. So we have been going over everything & trying to give him all that he needs to get through the day with ease. He came home yesterday very exhausted but pretty upbeat. I was so happy that he made it through. He managed the bus ride there & finding where he needed to be. He had a hard time with the accents though. LOL He came home & said, "Mom they talk funny." I had to laugh! I told him it will get easier to understand the more you're around them. They probably think he talks funny. Hahaha All in all, we had a successful first day! Yay

Well I am still trying to finish up my items for the Falloween launch. I made a lot of progress yesterday but the internet was down. I am hoping to complete my scarecrow today & get his pics done. My album is almost ready too. So I will let you know when I finally get them listed. Thanks for all your patience.

Have a great day! ~Toodles

Dial Up Argh

I have to apologize for my lack of postings. I am still fighting with dial up. Oh my gosh I could just throw this computer through the window. Hubby is still trying to get our wireless card so we can resume at normal speed. This thing now is far from normal.

So anyways, on to good stuff. I am super excited! I reached a goal of 50lbs. Yes, I have lost 50lbs since surgery. YIPPEE! It is very exciting to be able to wear things that I have'nt worn or seen in years. Since moving I have uncovered a treasure of clothes that were packed away in hopes of ever getting into them. I can now say I am in them & some are too big. So next goal is another 25lbs. It is slowing up a bit so I will really have to get stricter with my food choices.

On that note....so what have I been doing? BAKING! I know the worse thing to do when trying to eat right. I am in a baking frenzy. The other day I made sugar cookies that were to die for. The next day pumpkin scones like the ones at Starbucks. All I can say is Yummy! Luckily I have'nt really been eating to much of the sweets. I have been sending them to work with my daughter & the hubs. I love baking & usually that all starts in the fall. I am secretly wishing it to get here faster. Its amazing to have AC so I can bake during all this heat & humidity. I would of never given it a second thought when we lived without AC. I just keep telling myself wait for that first bill. LOL Today I am making peanut butter cookies at the request of my daughter's co-worker. The house smells so good.

I also wanted to share with you that great find I found at the garage sale a couple of weeks ago. This beauty was a steal for $20.00 It definitely needs some TLC but I just fell in love with it. With a new grandbaby on the way I need to get that done so I can use it come March. :)

Oh & I also mentioned before that one of my groups on Ebay called CPLG (Country & Primitive Ladies Group) was having a launch starting yesterday. I will add our logo & you can click on that to take you over there. It is a "Falloween Launch" with lots of neat goodies that we all have made especially for this launch. As for me, I am late as usual. I am frantically working on some wooly goodies that will hopefully *keeping fingers crossed* be up in the next day or so. Please check back each day because I know some of the girls will be adding new items often & some are posting at later dates this week due to their personal schedules. I hope you find some great treasures that you just cant live without, I know I will be shopping too. This is the kick off for my favorite time of the year. What better way to say** H*E*L*L*O **F*A*L*L** than to purchase something fun for you or your home. **EDITED** It's not allowing me to link the pic for some reason. So click on the Falloween in this sentence & it should take you over. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Well off to sewing. Have a great week & I will check back soon. Pray for faster internet for me please. LOL ~Toodles
