Bonfire of the Vanities

Teenagers and Fire...what a combination......Britt and Josh grilling Hotdogs on the fire....or at least 'trying' too.....it was so 'buggy' out that night that we were chased back inside pretty quickly...but they had fun while it lasted....LOL

HairSpray

Britt and I are off to see Hairspray the Musical this afternoon at the CNU Ferguson Center theatre...needless to say Britt is quite excited as she lives and breathes musical theatre....should be a fun day...we are going with a group of women from church and then having dinner afterwards....now if only Wicked would come our way!!

My Perogative?

Typical Woman am I...LOL.....I've 'changed my mind"..sorry Laura( I know you changed the link already).....LOL
I've decided I really don't want to lose my history here... so I'm just going to keep this blog going....and will probably delete the new one....

Movin'

to new pastures.......I"ll be closing this blog soon....but don't despair....I've already started a new one.....over here: maggiibleu lifestyles ....I've just been feeling a little uncomfortable about some of the pictures I sometimes post...that maybe I'm invading the privacy of some of my friends and acquaintances....so I plan to be a little more careful about all that, over at the 'New" place...I'll leave this blog open for a little while to give you all( my oh so HUGE readership...LOL)a chance to mozy on over to the new digs.....then I'll be setting this blog to Private...

This Little Piggy Went to Market....

It's been a little while since I had a Shopping Day.....so today I took off to get a few things done.....First I hit Michaels ...to check out their yarn...and then I realized we ARE into September now and fall is just around the corner as well as Halloween.....Britt and I are planning to have an AWESOME Halloween Party so I figured I should pick up a couple things...I got a little Fall Wreath...and a really cute Candlabra..a Halloween Banner( Martha Stewart...I got her Halloween Magazine the other day...lots of GREAT ideas in it!) and I added another building to my Spooky Village....I've been collecting the Lemax Halloween and Christmas Houses for a few years now....

I then Headed over to one of my local Thrift Stores and although the pickin's were slim I did find a few cute things.....I got a wool sweater to felt and use for crafting.....two Cheese boards with domes...I'm going to use the domes with decorative plates.....I got the idea from another blogger but can't remember who.....I'll probably use the wooden bottoms as trivets....maybe I'll decorate them ......and I found a cute little mug.....I've seen similar ones on other blogs and always loved them but never seem to find them...well today was my lucky day.....this one's from France even...how cool.....I LOVE anything French.....

Then I went over to the Knitting Corner for some yummy yarn......I'm in the mood to start Socks again....so I two kinds of Sock yarn and a few hanks of Wool....I plan to use the plain wool on a Ripple Afghan ...I've been collecting various colors for a while now......and with the variegrated one I'll make a felted purse ...I got a few of these skeins at Michaels...the rest from the Knitting Corner.....

Saturday Sky

Been ages since I've done one of these posts....not sure if anyone else is even doing it but what the heck....here's today's sky..LOL

Let's Go For a Ride!

Today was such a nice day...it looks like it's finally cooling off a bit.....DH invited me to take a ride around the block in this:

We've had this car for years...13 to be exact.....we bought it at an Auction in California.....DH started bidding and I nearly had a heart attack...and then he KEPT bidding.....I couldn't believe it when we won.....he drove it everyday when we lived in CA ..but since moving here...it hardly gets driven....lately he's been taking out of the garage occasionally to drive it around the neighborhood.....he invited me today.....I mentioned this would make a nice 'going to Church" car....LOL....so now he's thinking of getting it registered with antique plates.....

and here's a pic of our newest car...the one I posted about earlier...
