Bess!!!

Here is the finished project.

I think next time I need to use a smooth dress form. The one I used
was wicker. I also put a hanger in her so she will hang up.

Today!!!!!

Today we went to town for a few things.
First we went to Denny's,

Then Hobby Lobby,

Then a 7/11 and we saw this gaggle of geese right beside the parking lot!!!!

Then we went to CL Boy D to get a part for Dad.

Then to Dub Ross Company to get two tinhorns.

This is a picture I took while waiting for Dad, I thought it was pretty cool.

Also cool!

Not so cool!!!

I am back!

Wednesday...
...Anna and I got up at 5 o'clock in the morning and Dad took us to the airport. We flew out at 7:30. We had two lay-overs, one in Dallas and one in Atlanta. FYI Atlanta's airport is the busiest airport in the world!!! After Atlanta we boarded a smaller plane and continued to Charlottesville Virginia. We arrived safely and only about 30 minutes late!!!  That night was meeting, so we went but didn't stay long.
Thursday...
...We... I don't remember what we did.
Friday...
...Night sing was canceled because they needed to have a men's meeting instead. Amy was going to wait up for Matt so we did too. Any-way, when he still wasn't home at 1:30am we decided to go make popcorn, and of course he came home right as it got done!!!! So we ate the popcorn then went to bed. We didn't get to sleep until after 2 o'clock!!!!! 
Saturday...
...we didn't do much.
Sunday...
Amy, Anna, Allison and I sang the song ''Break me Lord''. It was a lot of fun. 
That night we went back to meeting hall, after having lunch at Matt and Amy's, and had dinner. Then we sang for awhile, then visited, then went home, and to bed!!!!
Monday...
We were supposed to leave at 12:30 or so, to fly back home, but they a snow storm in Atlanta where we were supposed to be going. So  our flight was cancled. so we got to have Kathryn Martin over to Play NERTZ and have ice cream and popcorn. It was a lot of fun.
Tuesday...  
We went to Janice Williams house for a home school thing she does with the kids.
We went to the airport from there, we flew out at about 5 o'clock pm. We went from there to Atlanta. When we looked at the board we saw our flight to OKC was cancled!!!!! We finally got a flight to Tulsa. We pulled in there at about 10:40pm, we were so tired. But we are finally home and we got here safely.

Still painting!!!!

9:50 PM. and still painting!!! 
I was so bored with painting that I ended up painting my hand instead of the walll!!!!!!

Another project!!!!!


Here is another one of my projects!!!!!
I already told y'all about having to replace the carPET in my bedroom! But after I got that out, I decided to go ahead repaint my closet also. I don't think it has been repainted since we built the house in '99. (11 years ago) Yeah it was time for a new coat or two!!!! So, I took EVERYTHING out of my closet and put it on and around my bed. Dumb move, now I am sleeping on the living room floor because there is no where to put my stuff until I get done painting. Oh-well, I will just camp out in front of the fire!!!  

Here is a picture of the stuff on and around my bed!!!!
    !!!!WARNING: HARD HAT REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES!!!!! 

My most humble apologies!!!!

I need to make a public apology.
I have always teased Mom about burning the bread. She seems to do it quite often. Well any-way, I made dinner tonight and I pretty much made charcoal out of the bread!!!! So even though some people think I'm perfect, I make mistakes too!!!!! JK on the perfect!!!
