It was so difficult and I was sure I would never do it again, for fear of the attachment and the eventual loss... but this little sweetie has proven me wrong! I just love her! She'll be going for her shots this week. :-)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51); font-family: georgia;">As for work, I have some new dollies to share...</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TGfOOJ4DxBI/AAAAAAAAAko/pC5Y0UKsLVc/s1600/RWBAnnieg.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 279px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TGfOOJ4DxBI/AAAAAAAAAko/pC5Y0UKsLVc/s320/RWBAnnieg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505595812048258066" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TGfOV0xE4UI/AAAAAAAAAkw/WeDDSFQsHm4/s1600/GrayAnn2b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TGfOV0xE4UI/AAAAAAAAAkw/WeDDSFQsHm4/s320/GrayAnn2b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505595943820779842" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TGfOe-bAg_I/AAAAAAAAAk4/0xO-td7giw4/s1600/CAnn7.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 274px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TGfOe-bAg_I/AAAAAAAAAk4/0xO-td7giw4/s320/CAnn7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505596101031396338" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51); font-family: georgia;">They are all currently on eBay and you can find them </span><a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 51); font-family: georgia;" href="http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbay&gbh=1">HERE!</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51); font-family: georgia;">I'll be visiting dad for a bit today.

I'm stocking up on my fabric stash in case my Walmart decides to do away with their craft department.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family: georgia;">One of my Walmarts already did. This one left is the only one near me. I will be so upset if they decide to do away with it.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family: georgia;">I asked the fabric lady today if they had plans on doing away with crafts/fabric and she said she was still getting loads of fabrics in and she had no where to put them. So, hopefully, she's right and they'll keep it up. She did say they were trying to make this Walmart a Super Center with more food. I think a lot of the Walmarts are doing that and doing away with things they THINK we can do without. They have no idea how many crafters count on their fabrics! I refuse to shop at JoAnn's for fabrics until I'm forced to. I got the above fabrics for $1.50 yd. JoAnn's fabrics are about $8-$9 yd. I am NOT paying those kind of prices.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TEd1X1NvF8I/AAAAAAAAAhk/cKeQ2Q6Z7Uw/s1600/coralann1b.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 338px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TEd1X1NvF8I/AAAAAAAAAhk/cKeQ2Q6Z7Uw/s400/coralann1b.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496490922511112130" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">So..........with new fabrics comes new inspiration!

Sometimes the old brain needs a little vacation before whipping up new and exciting ideas.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">So, I'm back. I made a great fall piece today. A fantastic, olde, distressed pumpkin, witch hat and mouse. Click my eBay link to visit the auction tonight at 10 EST. :-)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">But before I did that... I wandered about in the garden... looking at all of my hard work come to fruition.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">These baby American Robins are living in my garden. Running about in the ivy and mint. Sitting atop my chaise lounge... pooping on it, of course. But no worries. They are too cute to shoo them away. This shot I must say looks professional. And that never happens when I take a photo. The lighting was just so right and the coloring on this sweet baby... well. You don't get much better than that. How sweet. He doesn't even have a tail yet. Just born probably 1-2 wks. ago. :-)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">I love watching them. They get into trouble, just like toddlers. LOL</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">Here's another photo.. of the other baby.</span><br /><a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TC50wxuo5LI/AAAAAAAAAa0/pYltkViNQuk/s1600/babyrobin2.JPG"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TC50wxuo5LI/AAAAAAAAAa0/pYltkViNQuk/s320/babyrobin2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489453377142711474" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">Sitting on my trumpet vine stalk.

I am so looking forward to my tomato sandwiches. Mayo, white bread, salt, and maybe some American cheese and I'm a happy camper. These are beefsteak which are perfectly meaty for a sandwich. Not a lot of seeds and water inside.</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TC52GYuaXkI/AAAAAAAAAbE/HjoRAHZEgaM/s1600/zinnia1.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Yqdh0mAG3kg/TC52GYuaXkI/AAAAAAAAAbE/HjoRAHZEgaM/s320/zinnia1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489454847899622978" border="0" /></a><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">And the Zinnias.....I just love them. They are one of my favorite olde-fashioned flowers. So beautiful! This orange is so vivid. The butterflies love the little yellow flowers in the center. :-) I grow them from seed each year and anxiously await which colors will show their faces. So far, I got a beautiful antique white one, a hot pink and a couple of beautiful hot orange. :) Hopefully, I'll get at least one cherry red!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">So.........that's what I've been up to.

color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">To her, you'd give anything, but it's not about the gift.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">It's that marvelous smile brought on by the spirit you lift.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">It's not about what you can give her or about what you can do.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">It's about the unconditional love reciprocated between you two.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">It's the tears in her eyes when you two disagree.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">Nothing's quite right until 'I love you and I'm sorry.'</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">It's that spunk in her step, the rainbow in her eye-</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">You'll know she's a Daddy's girl when she passes by.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">She's got the kind of love that never fades or dies.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">The depth of your love always shows in her eyes.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">Upon angel wings you soar; your sparkling golden halo glows</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">Whenever she's with you, it's Heaven in her eyes that shows.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">Her eyes hold a song so beautiful you'd think it was Heaven's melody.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">It's the music of love's symphony composed by each precious memory.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">The love known is the love you've shown from sunset to sunrise.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-family: georgia;">The depth of your love will forever show in your daughter's eyes.<br /><br />By: Michelle Emerson<br /></span></div><div style="overflow: hidden;
