~ NEW~ ArT

I managed to get one little piece done for Arts a Flutter this month.
It is a piece that serves double duty. A wonderful piece of art as well a memo holder so it is useful as well.
I don't work in this medium very often but really enjoyed it this time around. I just wish the pictures did it justice. It is so much sweeter in person. Very hard to capture this piece.



Here is just a little teaser. Or you could visit the site to see the rest. I will show you more of it tomorrow.
I am going to bed. Totally toast. Fighting something.
Hugs,Pea

Just checking in

Hello Everyone,
Well I have been rocking right along for the items for the show. I will try and remember to take the camera. Don't have but a week left and don't have much so far but something is better than nothing. Getting my website stuff as well has me stretched really thin but I am getting it done. Only so much of me to go around. Wish I could convince my family of that.
Tomorrow is my son's birthday. To be technical about it he is already older as he was born overseas. We will have the whole gang and all their partners here for dinner and yours truly will be cooking a big ol' meal again. He wanted my beef stroganof for dinner. It is yummy but takes about a hour to cook. I won't even arrive back home from golf practice for the kids until about 6 pm. What we do for our kids.
Ty will be 23. I feel so old. Where has the time gone? I feel like I have spent it in the spin cycle of the washing machine. Just plain dizzy. All so much of a blur. I guess I am feeling like that because of this month. It is going to be that way for awhile I am told by my family as there are all these upcoming events. I need a vacation I tell ya. Calgon stinks so that is out. LOL
Well I must go back to the dungeon before Egor makes a mess.
Have a great week.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER. WE LOVE YOU!

Fairy God Mother Frogettes

I have listed the pink and aqua one of these little darlings on ebay. They are so very sweet. Just click on the word EBAY and it will take you there.

Working on some collage work today. Thank Goodness no golf today as there is a match. Katie hasn't gone much. Poor thing there was no way to get her there with my Mom here and that nightmare.

I should have another something to show you later tonight. Until then my friends have a wonderful day.

Cheap, quick and easy

Now that I have your attention! Ha Ha. No NOT Me! I am not that type of girl.

I thought I would share a little something with you. There are always last minute gifts needed it seems to come at the worst time. Like when we are broke. Paid all the bills and nothing extra for such things. Your daughter's best friends Mom is having a birthday and she has taken the girls to dance everyday for 2 months while you work. That kind of thing.
I am always on the hunt for things that I can whip up quick. Can be made cheaply and easily.
I found these frames at the dollar store. I bought three. Plain and boring but so many things you can do.



I often fill with card stock frames and use rub on's on the front.
I happen upon these vellum sheets at the craft store the other day. They are so very neat. I bought three of them for about 49 cents each.


Now look how neat they look all done. These were the perfect size for these frames. It took about 2 minutes to cut the bottom bar code off and slip it into the frame. NOw I know they aren't prim, but a lot of folks out there that like just simple stuff. Perfect.

So I have THREE great gifts that cost under 5.00 for all three. Can't beat that with a stick.

Hint* grandparents love these with new shots of the kids.
Have a wonderful day my friends.
Hugs,Pea

Something New

My dolly is sitting there not finished. I am stuck. I hate that but she is missing something and haven't see what it is yet. Been in a slump lately. Scramble, rush and all that from Mom being here, kids, pets and especially poor Mr. Peapod.
As I stated earlier I have a show coming up. Have to get as much done as possible so I decided to do this painting last night. Got it all done. I have never been a painter. Have a family full of beautiful painters and artist but never was one of them. I just play with fabric and what ever else I get my hands on. This was so much fun. I had a ball. Inspired by Kelly Roberts. Lots of techniques in her book to try and play with. any of you painters out there with tips on how to improve I welcome your suggestions.


I like the way this turned out. I think it is sweet. It is going to the show. I have some other painting I am working on along with a list of everything else. Time to rush and scramble again to have a few things for it. Won't have near what I ususally do but a few dollars in inventory is better than none.
Off to cook dinner and list some items on ebay.
Have a great evening.
Hugs,Pea

The results are in...

No cause for celebration I am afraid. The house did NOT pass inspection. We have mold in the garage and not just surface like I had thought. Much deeper. Then the inspector said that under the house was like a trampoline. Need a sump pump or a curtain drain. along with a furnace, kitchen updates,dishwasher, move the washer and dryer in the house and a host of things she wanted to do. All costing money and she is tighter than bark on a tree. So she is walking away. The agent is still hopeful but I know Mom when she says no, she means NO!

Mom will have to fly out here again and that costs her a fortune. She has to kennel her big dog. So don't know when that will happen. I can only hope that there are more homes available when the time comes and that means for someone to loose their house. How sad is that? I feel terrible about that, really I do but the only way Mom will get a suitable house. Unless there is a miracle. Which I know happens.

So right now I am pretty bummed. I miss her terribly even though she drives me bats. She had a big scare not to long ago one in Dec and one last month. The first in Dec they thought she was having a heart attack, the other was the symptoms of one but was a severe allergy reaction to Lysol spray. They even had to put her on steroids. So having her here is a must, not just a wish. Not only that but I am the only one who could/would take care of her if she became ill or lost her mind. We already know she will be deaf and hearing aids will not help. All nerve damage.

Well have to go hug my hubby. He is cleaning his room for Mom to live in even though that isn't gonna happen just yet. She is too stubborn. Then off to cook dinner as I am starved and have class tonight. Got to scoot.
Enjoy another picture taken by my best friend.
Hugs,Pea

Recovering

I had to take a few days to regain my strength after Mom's visit and all that driving, meetings, house hunting and etc. I put almost a 1,000 miles on my car in one month. That is with Katie's golf and Mom's visit. Going to Port Orchard every day sometimes twice a day from here is a LOT of MILES. Don't know how many exactly around (25 miles one way) but it is almost 40 minutes or more by freeway to the office.
I am completely wiped out and it starts again tomorrow. I will be up and out of here bright and early. I have to go to the inspection on the house she found. If it passes and all goes well it will be hers. Prayers appreciated if you are so inclined to do so. I am praying this is the one. She has returned home and would be very costly for her to return again. Not only that she has to sell her current home, pack and move yet. The home needs some things done. A few minor repairs, paint, a new bit of carpet in the livingroom and hallway. A furnace will be the biggie and a few windows. Still the best house all around for her.
I will have to paint along with a laundry list of other Honey Do's but I hope to work on it a little at a time. I have some helpers here so that should will be okay.
Currently working on a few projects of my own and trying to get ready for a show that is sneaking up on me fast.
I hope to have a dolly for eBay tomorrow. Been a long time since I have listed a dolly on ebay. I will announce it if I do. Until then my friends enjoy some sunshine and flowers.
Blessings,Pea

What a week- WOW is all I can say.

Oh what a week it has been. NUTS I tell ya. I am starting to see a trend here and not really sure I like it too much. LOL
My p.c. crashed last weekend. It is up and running now but what a nightmare that was.
Momma flew in last wed and since then it has been non stop. She has 7 days to find, buy and complete a sell of a home on a very limited budget along with a list of demands that make it difficult. They don't seem unreasonable but in this area it is hard to find these things unless you own the bank. She did make a offer on a home but now is telling me that she doesn't really like the home at all! Oh gosh well they probably won't accept the offer anyway. So now we will have 3 days to find a new house. Oh boy. Next week will be insane for sure with me running dd to golf. Mike has jury duty so he won't be able to help out.

In the mean time my 73 year old mother taught me who is ut-hum 45 how to strip tease. LOL apparently our neighbor at one time growing up was a stripper. She she showed me how to do it without ever showing a thing. LOL You all wondered where I got "it" from well there ya go! LOL Oh she is a hoot. Here is the pictures in case you also wanted to know. Cracks me up! Now you know why she was happily married for 42 years.


WHAT A HOOT SHE IS!!!



I did manage to get some frogs done. I used a great pattern from Soft in the Head. They turned out so cute. These are Fairy frogettes- magic makers in training. Baby Fairy Frog Mothers. They make me giggle. Oh so sweet and 3 total available. Pink, aqua and green. You can find them at my WSOAPP page if you want to know more about them.


Aren't They sweet!


Well I have to go create for a little while before bed. I am beat but itching to get somethings done tonight. Have a wonderful happy Easter. I will try and find a post card for you all to use on your baskets.

Thank you Sonia

This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give attention to these writers!".


Dear Sonia of the Dark Raven's Nest gave me this little award as well saying a few nice words about my blog. It is always so nice to be thought of. Esecially nice when a award is sent to honor you. Thank you Sonia. It made my day.
May you be blessed.

Thank You Tonya

Friends are one of lifes most precious gifts. I have been blessed to have met so many wonderful folks through the internet and Tonya of Back Porch Pickins in one of them.
I had asked Tonya if I could hire her to make me a new banner. She told me on my birthday that this was my gift. I would have to wait as she is always so very busy but worth the wait it was. Look at this wonderful banner. Tonya knows that butterflies hold a special spot in my heart. Something between my Daddy and I. So she placed a few in my banner. Isn't that nice.. I love the old feel of it and yet it suits the whimsical side of me to a T or should I say P? LOL Thank you Tonya it is beautiful!

I know I have been absent but I have been running, working and more like a mad woman. I have so many projects and sites due all at once. Not only that but the normal tasks of kids, Mr.Peabody, house, pets and taking all of them where they need to go. You may not see much of me this week as I am preparing for my Mother's visit. She is coming for a short visit and to look for a house. We need to find her something in only a weeks time. YIKES. So I have to get this place in tip top shape as she has severe allergies. So I will be running again not to mention the golf thing is still on going.


I thought I would show you a little sneak peek of one of my items for the new site
ARTS A FLUTTER( CLICK HERE) It UPDATES TONIGHT at 10 PM.
I am so excited and actually managed to get three items done for the opening of the site. That is amazing with all that I have been up to lately. Now to bust my butt to get the rest of the stuff done this week. Yikes.
Okay everyone I must scoot if I am to get anything done. Have a wonderful week and play nice.
Hugs,Pea

I just love Spring Give Aways

A very kind, gal over at Prim 4 HIm is having a give away. A lovely little bird, 2 nests and goodies to be added. If that doesn't make you think of spring no matter what the temp in your world nothing will. Ahhhhhhhh spring, I personally can not wait!

Now I am off to have a bit of fun tomorrow. My car is back and well we might be broke but I can at least hit the grocery store. What the hey the car only cost me 1200 dollars to be fixed. A small price to pay really when you think it could have been the trannie! Thank God it wasn't. Hey I might even get to go to church this weekend. whoo hoo.
Have a wonderful weekend making memories.
Blessings,Pea

Things are looking up a bit.

Well today I am feeling a bit better. Talking not so much like I swallowed the biggest frog on earth the bad news is DD got my frog. OH boy. Even being sick today she had the biggest news and couldn't wait to tell me. Her name was in the local Paper the Bremerton Sun. She was in the sports section of the paper as the first Upcoming player to watch for her golf team. She was on cloud nine as the list came in order from the coach. Whoo hoo- you go little girl! He told us she is a natural and thrilled to have her on the team. Wish she had joined her freshman year.. Oh well things turn out the way they are supposed to be I guess. She does love it and I know this because Katie hates the cold and yet she never complains when she is on the field freezing her toots off chasing a little white ball.LOL

The mechanic called today and the new computor for the car is in. Now have to wait for another part tomorrow. But hopefully will have the car soon. I can't wait to be able to go out again. Wasn't it me a few days ago complaining about being in the car? LOL Can't win all the time I guess.
Well I am off to work. With being sick I haven't got much done. I would only work for short spurts and go to bed. Can't sew if your eyes are crossed.
Have a wonderful weekend. I looking to going to the quilt shop to spend some free pennies on fabric. whoo hoo free fabric I love those words together. LOL
Blessings,Pea

P.S. it won't let me load the picture. Our new router showed up today so hopefully that will fix the internet problems we have had.

Happy St. Patty's day!

Just a couple of pretties for you to use if you like. May you be Blessed with all that is good.
Hugs,Pea

Mistaken Delivery

Okay, I think there has been a mistake. We were delivered some snow and in fact about 5 inches of this cold, perfect powder and well I might be yours? If it is yours could you please and come and pick it up? I hate to keep it if it belongs to you. Keeping you from using your shining skis,sleds and let us not forget about the kids who want a snowday to have a good old fashioned snowball fight.
Come ON OVER!

I woke up this morning with every intention of going to church till I looked outside. Then though okay go to town instead. Talked DH into going. Ofcourse we have to use his car as mine is still broke. Than it kept on snowing. He said I will hit the little store instead. It is still snowing as we speak. Good grief. Big old flakes. It was 50 something just the other day and DD was wearing shorts for golf. Mother Nature is off her rocker is all I can say.
Well I guess I won't be taking the car back tomorrow. OH boy fun, fun to wait some more. Well I am getting sick anyway. I have been dodging this cold for months and I think it finally caught up with me. Joy oh joy!
Have a good one.
Blessings,Pea

Happy birthday Jacob!

My boy is 25 today. WOW where did the time go? It seems like yesterday I was tug him around like a football. First day of school, first girlfriend, first so many firsts there are just too many and I am honored to have been witness to most of them. He is such a nice guy too. Serving this great Country of ours, still finding time for the ones he loves. The kind of kid that you can call in a moments notice and he is right there willing to help any way he can. Very much like his Father in that aspect. I couldn't be prouder of him and who has become.
we are having a little dinner, cake and ice cream. YEH I GET CAKE!! LOL After this week I think I need some. Nothing fancy but love and time.
Must scoot and get the dinner going. He requested beef stroganoff but it is yummy.
Have a wonderful day. The sun is shining so this is wonderful in a rain forest.
Pea

Just a horrible day

This week has been aweful. Everything that could go wrong has. Ever have one of those weeks?
Today was just the icing on the cake. I melted. My God Mother( Sue's Mom) is in the hospital and was given the grave news that she has colon cancer- which is what took my precious Sue's life. My mom had to put down my Dad's dog whom I loved very much. Seems like another piece of me went to heaven with him.
Then my car almost broke down on the stinking freeway. Off we were two kids in the car to the on ramp and my car won't go. All of a sudden it jerks and then goes. Thought maybe just hit the gear somehow. Doing okay but still feel something not right. Get to town and had a list of things to get for my son's birthday dinner/ celebration tomorrow evening. We ended up leaving town, calling for help/possible tow. We made it home but it was scarey for me. Now I have no gift for my beloved Jacob, and had to change the dinner plans.
I was going to town to buy some needed items as well and now probably won't have the funds for those with the car repairs. Sometimes life just stinks. I am just angry and feeling a bit broken. Just needing to vent. Sorry, just needed to get it off my chest.
Going to go and try and work. Doubt if I will be able to but I will attempt to anyway.

Have a wonderful week. I will be living in the car again. LOL For the next 5 months. OH boy.
Blessings,Pea

Special Orders have flown the coop

I am making progress. The new owners of these have received them and are pleased. That is all that matters. So I am still working on a few more orders and have to mail out this week. Just thought I would pop in and share what I have been up to.
Enjoy the day what ever the weather!
Hugs,Pea

for the love of PETE!

Girls, I have been living in my car for the last 5 days and I am just about ready to move the pillows and blankets in there. That would be one way to get some sleep.
My Gosh, the "child" the only one left Thank Goodness has had me running here and there, yonder and back. Now it is 17 miles to town and 17 miles back. so guess how many times I have had to fill up the car? If someone guess right I will give them a e-pattern. How about that?
Gas is about $2.18 here for reg. unleaded. I can't use that of course so it costs me about 2.30 a gallon.
DD decided that since it is her senior year she wanted to play sports. So golf it is. The other sports that were available cost 500.00 in equipment so that was out of our budget sadly. But they can't have it, do it all ya know.
Thanks to a friend for hunting for me, I got the clubs at a steal, bought the balls and t's yesterday. Along with her meds and physical. Oh let us not forget the bee sting kits- yes very important but grand total for yesterday was about 300.00 bucks and that was before lunch and gas.. LOL In the tank girls. No naughty thinking aloud. LOL

Now I know that I said I would show some goodies, but I have surprised their new owners so I must wait a few more days before they arrive as I know she sneaks on here once in a while.
I have WIPs on the table and working like a mad woman when I am not driving.
Hope to show them soon.
So beside the running for DD I was also going to the bank here for my mom. She said to pick up a check for her. Well I have been to the bank since Sunday everyday. I called to let her know that it still was not here. LOW and behold it wasn't a check but a money gram. GOod lord now I feel stupid for getting tickie with the gal on the other side of the counter. So tomorrow- you guessed it, I have to go back to town. UGH get that and then run a few more errands. I wanted and needed to stay home. I may have to skip church this weekend and just stay home and work. That might be nice to sleep in too. I have witnesses I have been getting up early. Okay anything before 11 is early for me. But early like in 8:30 or 9 am. That is something for me to brag about since I am a night owl. I have been known to stay up till 7 am and then sleep for 5 hours and get up and do it again.
Alright then off and running. I am actually yawning and running out of steam. Will have to hit the hat soon but need another coat of paint on something first.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs,Pea

P.S. my girl friend Kris took this picture of a local town last fall. Pretty huh?
It is cold here and snowed so I thought we could use a little sunshine. Enjoy.

Down Memory lane

As a child, I was lucky enough to have a Mother that sewed and loved doing so.
My Mother made a lot of clothes for me as a child and young woman. She even made some designer clothing for me when I was pregnant with my kids.
Every Easter and Christmas without fail My Mother sewed a red dress for me. I am a red head and hated to wear red and still do but it is my favorite color. My Daddy liked red. So he picked the color, I picked the fabrics and Mom made the pattern then the dress. She started sewing at the age of 10 for herself when she got her first job. She did laundry and babysat for the neighbors to buy fabric.

One year Momma made me this dress. Butterflies are my thing. Always have been. So she made this dress for me for Christmas. Out of all the things she has made me and there are 100's of outfits this was my favorite. The funny thing is I hated dresses except at Christmas. My dolly had a matching outfit but I don't know where that went. She saved this dress and the bottom skirt was turned into a coming home outfit for my eldest son when he was born.
I came across this picture the other day and all those wonderful memories came flooding back. I know I was a goofey looking kid but I am showing you this picture despite that fact.
I never have sewn for my kids. Oh little things but no clothing. I never enjoyed making clothes for people. I often tease my Mother and tell her that dolls don't complain if the arms are too tight.. LOL

I was curious if any of you doll makers/artists have a story to tell about your favorite outfit?

I had a very busy day today and am just dog tired. So off to bed I go my friends.
I hope to show you some goodies tomorrow. We shall see how much I can get done if I get some rest.
Hugs,Pea

Terrible Pea

Oh what a week I tell ya. Dh was so very ill. He is doing better but the doctors only medicated the problem instead of dealing with it. I just won't even go there with ya'll. I was trying to work- yeh right, and I simply forgot to share my goodies from the Love tokens swap you all. Just in case you missed that part of it.
Tonya.
made me these wonderful goodies. Wrapped so nicely, and behold a sweet little lady box, note pad and glittered heart and a cupcake candle. Everyone knows how I love cake. I love all my goodies and Tonya does such nice work. Thank you my friend for swapping with me.

I also got my prize from Angie.
she had a give away and I guessed right so I won a set of her wonderful lights. OMG don't ya know they are birthday cake scented! LOL I am in heaven I tell ya. I think I will hang them up in my studio. It will smell like cake and I will never want to leave. LOL Then maybe I will get something done. Thank you Angie, I love them. I will have to add the picture tomorrow. It is late and I don't have batteries charged for the camera.

well off to read my book. It is due tomorrow. Have a wonderful Sunday.
Blessings,Pea

ALMost got a dolly!

Tonya and I were matched up for a valentines swap. I was most excited yesterday when I returned from town to find her box. I couldn't get it open fast enough. All so carefully packaged. I got it open and here is a card addressed to Jenny.
ut-OH! I knew that Jenny was getting a package as well, a sweet little Daisy dolly.
I called Tonya afraid to open the package any further thinking it was for Jenny. She said open it. I did and there was the sweetest of Dollies. Oh how I wanted to keep her but Tonya threatened me with bodily harm. LOL Then Jenny would be flying out here to kick my butt too! But I did get to see her and all the tiny little details that went into her.
Soo for a moment she was mine! Ya know love something and set it free, it will come back to you! Ha ha wishing thinking. BUT I do have something to LOOK forward too! a wonderful swap package. I can't wait to see the goodies.

Tonya did how ever get her package( knuckle head) LOL. I made her a pin keep with a tiny kitty on it.

It turned out so cute and she is always showing us pictures of her furr babies. That was my inspiration. I made it so she can have it out year round if she likes. I think this swap was fun and maybe join another one in the future.
Have a PURR-FECT valentines day my friends. I will be creating this evening. Hope to have pictures soon.
Blessings,Pea

Oh Naugty, naughty kitty! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh I could just spit nails at the moment. I am very mad at what is a seemingly sweet face- my Bootsie. I keep my studio closet closed cause she likes to get in there and knocks stuff down. If that is all she had done I would be upset but would get over it in a few minutes. Nope, not that easy.

I keep my nice tissue in my closet. Ya know the kind we use for something special. Like the stuff I got for the valentines swap. I had it all in there. Matching tissue, tags and etc. Well Boots got in there to and made a nest out of it. But not just one sheet mind you. A entire stack of about 12 different tissues with 10 to 20 sheets each. It is all ripped and shredded. She even ate some of it. Not to mention my bag collection. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!




Just look at the mess she made. Not even big enough to cut and use half. So I saved what I could and that ended up being about 5 sheets.

I am keeping the other for scrap booking stuff. Now I will have to replace my tissue collection for those special things. I even had Mom's tissue in there for Mother's Day. A pretty blue/brown.

Durn cat anyway. She knows I am mad at her. She keeps trying to suck up. Maybe tomorrow it will work.

Hope your day was better then mine. SOrry just had to vent.

Hugs,Pea

I will miss her!

Oh sometimes we create things that really makes us smile or giggle. This is one of those dollies.

I have been enjoying her and greatly enjoyed making miss Flora the Fairy FRog Mother. But she is spreading her wings and flying to Texas to live with a new dear one in need of many wishes granted. Right after I get her to MAKE IT STOP SNOWING!!! LOL

This was made from a Soft in the Head pattern. I just added my own twist to a wonderful pattern. Thank you Pam for sharing it with us.

Now I must get to work. Trying to finish up my list of creation in the studio. The chatter boxes in there are starting to gang up on me. Oh dear, Oh my what will I do? LOL

Have a wonderful day my pretties. I will be back soon.

Blessings,Pea

Just a scary moment

Have you ever done something that you didn't want to do but knew you had to? Something that made you shake in your boots? Afraid that others would judge you and make you self conscious?

I did one of the things today that made me feel just that way. I got up at my church and spoke to the whole congregation. I was shaking so badly that I could barely stand or hold the microphone. I must say that it was easier when I was a kid in debate and drama. I had a lot less nervousness and didn't care so much what people thought.

In the end I did it and did better then I thought I would do. I did my part and they better not ask me to do that again for awhile. LOL

Now I must get back to work. I have to get ready for class tomorrow. My gosh, my life is so busy lately. DD is keeping me hopping with all the senior stuff, helping out others, church, my home work and then the ususal wife stuff. I need some good sleep.

IN the picture above you will see my lady Bug shaker for Pfatt this month. I think she turned out sweet. I am working on some new ones this week. Stay tuned and have a wonderful Monday.

Blessings,Pea

Just a few of my favorite pictures- except one

Some really big fish they caught!

A good friend I once had.

Kinda a James Dean Look



Okay. so I love Nerds! What can I say?

*GULP*Okay it is me, don't like it but it is what it is. Now that is all the sharing you are gonna get! For now anyway.LOL
Have a good one.

Tag you are it!

Jenny of Wonders of Whimsy tagged me with this unique tag. I don't really like the ones where you have to tell about yourself. I mean does anybody really want to know about me anyway? I don't think so. LOL

This is from July 4th last year. This is my youngest child Katie playing her music. She plays by ear and has taught herself to play. My Katie Rocks! LOL Plays about 2 hours or more every single day. Right now she is teaching herself to play the mandolin. I bought her that for Christmas.

This one is different. It is simply a picture. Interesting to see pictures. so here are the rules.
I am to upload the FOURTH photo from my FOURTH folder on my computer and tag FOUR others.

THE ARTIST

Now that I made Everyone cry and really didn't mean to. Maybe I can make you snicker*? Just look at that stupid hat! That makes me laugh.
I have three wonderful children. Each one unique in their own special way. Each one has special talents and I am most proud of them as all us Mom's are.
I would like to tell you a little about the "HAM" in the family. That would be goofy, lovable, Tyler. Our Middle son. He is the ARTIST or one of two children that carry the artist gene. LOL
Tyler has held a pencil since he was just about three years old. A very busy little boy. Always into something and never sat still for long until you gave him paper and crayon. He has never stopped and draws about 2 hours every single day.
This artwork you see here is one of his creations. I have his permission to share it with you.


Just look at all the details. This is a character drawing of a dwarf that looks like his brother in the face. LOL It is funny because Jake is quite a bit taller then this. Several inches taller then Tyler.
When talking to Ty I thought that this took hours and Ty tells me that it took about a hour to draw this. WOW! I wish I could draw but I can not. The people in my family that can are my Hubby, my Mom, my MIL and my Brother. My Father I am told could as well. NO fair that I can not but them are the breaks.

Tyler has always been the goofey, funny, smarty pants in the family. He broke his arm, shoulder and shoulder blade in 5 places, standing on a basket ball trying to impress a girl. LOL It worked though. He made her laugh.
Just look at his Senior picture. Yep, this went into his annual. OMG is what my Mother said. But this is Tyler. No one will ever forget that picture.


So this is just another peek into my life and those around me. This is my giggle maker. Alot like his Dad, Mr.Peabody and a bit like me- poor baby. LOL I will share more about the rest of the pod later.
Have a wonderful day and share the crayons will ya?
Hugs,Pea
