When I heard that a friend's daughter was expecting her first baby, the wheels starting turning. I knew I had to do something personal for her and the family. Well thanks to DH, I was able to personalize it with the baby girl's first name - Henley and at the bottom I did a very cute poem I found.
In case you can't read it, it says:
A child is special - a gift from above.
One to cherish - And to love.
I don't think I could of found anything cuter or more special.
Our grand daughter and two friends were over this weekend and did me and my DH the biggest of favors. I've wanted my dining room and living room repainted for some time now and they were kind enough to do it for us. The main color is a light grey with a hint of green in it (think DMC 3013) and I had them paint two walls a dark brown green (think DMC 830). I absolutely love how it turned out and I highly recommend these 3 for future painting jobs....of which I have plenty.
I was going to start Letters to Santa but I've changed my mind. I'm going to take some time and finish up a few other things I have going before I start something new.
It's beginning to get a little chilly down here in Florida. I put Vallie's little Christmas t-shirt on her today that Jenn bought her last year and she will not let anyone take it off of her. I've never seen a dog love to wear a shirt so much.
Well enough for now - till we talk again have a Blessed day,
Barbara
Update: Catherine asked for a picture of Vallie in her shirt.....well here she is in her little Bah Hum Bug shirt. She went to the vet today to get her heart worm shot so she's a little under the weather. Who likes shots??? See the blue pillow - well that's where she sleeps while I'm stitching. I found that at Joann's and all you did was add stuffing and you get the perfect little dog pillow. She curls right up into it and is very snug. Our grand daughter Peyton has a little jack russel and I gave her one and she loves it also. So there ya go.....Vallie in her special shirt.

How splendid of Peyton and her friends to help you out with the painting - you are truly blessed to have such a thoughtful GRAND daughter. I love how you explain the color choices w/ DMC - I'll have to pull them to get a better visual. Sorry I missed you online again yesterday and today. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. When I count my blessing I shall count you twice! Hugs!
