My Spring Supply Swap Goodies

I recently participated in a Spring Supply Swap organized by The Shabby Chic Cottage.  My partner in the swap was Beverly @Flamingo Toes.  I was afraid she would not be too excited with a Grammy.  She sews beautiful things and I don't sew at all. ( My mother used to sew for Airstream trailers and had no patience to teach me to sew or cook.)  I love to scrapbook. So we chatted by emails a few times and started to gather treasures for each other.  Here are my goodies from Beverly.
Here are some of the fun things she sent me:  some crocheted flowers, etc. from Ikea, information about the town of Carlsbad where she lives, ribbon (lots of ribbon....how did she know my ribbon supply was dwindling?), beautiful material (I think I will have someone sew into pillows that I really need/want), Yummy strawberry jam made in Carlsbad, stickers, alphabet letters and a beautiful print on a card that can be framed.  I am so excited with my items.  I will have fun making things and remembering the new friend I have made from this swap.  Stop over and visit Beverly blog.
I can't wait to have more followers so I can organize something like this.

Busy End of the Week

They recently remodeled this Garden Center.  It is huge and really nice.  Not too easy pushing two little girls and two big bags of potting soil.  Not sure what K. Bug was doing here.  If you wondering, I try not to make the pictures of these two very good on purpose.  Fairy Gardens they had were so magical..  Oh, my gosh the price tags were something.  The container gardens and the single houses/barns were from $100 - $250.  They looked like they were made of cement and tiny stones and the cutest things evah.  I wanted one so bad but would never pay that.  The container ones were less than one foot as were the house/barns.

Then we went for Happy Meals and back home for Grampy and Piper.  Izzy had to stay home due to her infections.  We took Piper to the dog park for the first time ever.  He loved it.  Then to Knuckleheads for ice cream and we are chilling now.  The girls parents come home tomorrow from a long week-end to Arizona.
Oh,  Dorothy and Toto went with us to the dog park.  That's alot for one day....Grampy and Grammy are a little tired.  I hope you have all had a fun week-end. 

Poor little Izzy

Izzy has an ear infection and a boo boo on her behinder. I won't get into details but it has to hurt.  We went to the vet and Izzy wasn't happy.  I have to give her antibiotics and ointment treatments.  She loves that as well.
Speaking of antibiotics.......I have been on them  six times in the past six months.  I know, not good.  Pneumonia, stupid tooth extraction (still not healed from 5 weeks ago and four visits to the dentist), then last week a serious infection.  I am so ready to be well.  I am trying.  The problem is that I continue to do everything I always do whether I feel like it or not. Like take care of the Littles.  Mothers can certainly understand, right.  I have been trying to sneak a little nap somewhere near the end of the day.  I did that on Monday.  The last little left at 5:30.  I was to meet my family at Goose's soccer match at 6:30.  Well.......I fell asleep for a "short" while then got up and started to drive to the match.  Delila (sure that isn't spelled correctly) was on the radio.  It starts here at 7:00 p.m.  I got to the match as it ended.  As I walked across the field.  Goose came running up to me all smiles and hugs.  My son and my husband looked a little worried about where I had been.  Then they laughed.  We went to Whitts for ice cream (actually custard, the best ever)and all was well.  So as the saying goes, "On with the show."
