Thank You Sweet Anita!

I love blogging..........I really love it. I have "met" so many wonderful women here in Bloggyville.



I've learned more than I ever imagined..........shared many a tear and a hearty laugh too.



And, every once in awhile you meet a chickie who is not only sweet and charming, but generous too.... And, that, my friends, is that darling little chickie from Castles, Crowns and Cottages.... ANITA.



And, to top it all off? She's SUPER duper talented too.



I've marveled at her artwork many times.....

When she asked for my address so she could send me some of her delish artwork I was so excited I could barely stand it.... and I must say, it was worth waiting for. :-)

All tucked inside this adorable card..... Anita LOVES France and Audrey Hepburn.... doesn't this look like Audrey IN France?? :-)



If you've never been to visit Anita......which I really doubt.... (because this chickie is super popular in Bloggyville)........now's your chance! Zip on over and give her beautiful blog a peek.




You'll love it.


I. Promise.


Thank you again Anita. That was just so darn dear of you.


And, I'll treasure these wonderful works of art.... for.sure.



Huggies!


Spencer



Oh, and PS..... I have a bloggy problem, that I'm sure one of you will know how to fix. When I try to add the labels to my post, it will automatically fill in something I've already put in that handy, dandy box, whether that's what I want there or not..... and it will NOT let me fix it. Grrrrrr. Any suggestions?

Favorite Things!.... And, Don't Forget The GIVEAWAY!!!

Hey chickies!

I hope you've had an opportunity to enjoy this sweet season.... I'm trying so hard to take a moment during the day to remember what we're celebrating... It's so easy to get so caught up in the hustle and bustle....



I'm joining Laurie over at Bargain Hunting with Laurie today. This sweet and fun little chickie hosts

A Few Of My Favorite Things Saturdays



Pop on over.... There are quite a few girlies sharing some great things.... And, you're going to LOVE the nativity Laurie found at an estate sale....for an unbelievable price! I'm crazy about it and sure wish it was mine!



As I've said before, I have a little ten year old grandson.... He is the joy of my heart.... Oh how I adore this child.... He LOVES art and can whip out a picture so fast, I can barely believe it.... They always make me smile.... I think he's AWESOME!


I shared awhile back that he had won first place in an art contest for the ENTIRE school district....oh how proud we were.


I found this monkey picture on a notepad the other day.... It just cracks me up. He really gets the details in there....

And, check this one out.... just some random doodles.... YIKES.... he has one dinosaur eating another... Woooops. :-)


I always have art supplies here at the cottage for him.




I also want to remind you about my giveaway!

Check it out here.



I'll close the post on Sunday evening at 10:00 pm PST so hurry on over and leave a comment...





Lots going on this weekend... And, I'm spending some time with my sweet daughter.......ahhhh....how I love to do that!



We went to see White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye last night at an old theater... I've seen that movie a gazillion times, but this is the first time I've ever seen it on the BIG screen. (YES, it WAS before MY time). It was sooo much fun... Don't you just love it when they burst into song? Don't you do that in REAL life? You just never know when the Hubbs is going to jump up and grab me so we can dance all around the house either... And, I wear a party dress EVERY day. :-) ..... edited to add..... just kidding about the dancing and the attire.....I did always dream of being Donna Reed though. :-) Some of you took me seriously... The Hubbs actually WOULD dance me all around the house, but my legs don't like dancing.



I tried to get some shots of the Christmas decor today, but the light just wasn't going to cooperate...that's how things are here in the Pacific Northwest!


Huggies sweet ones!

Thanks for letting me join the party Laurie!

He WON!!!!!!!!! He WON!!!!!!! YOWZA!!!

My precious little grandson is in second grade and is quite the artist. He LOVES to draw. They had an assignment to do a picture for Earth Day several weeks ago. It was entered and judged.......and............HE WON! Not just for second grade, not just for his school,
FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that just amazing? I'm so tickled and so is he. It sort of makes up for the...........oh.................many times he's been in the principles office. :-)

He's an awesome kid, and about a million on the intelligence scale, but does get into mischief occasionally! Bless his pea-pickin' heart.

He is the joy of my heart and I'm a proud Gramma........or Hemma as he calls me.

Blessing you all and thank so much for sharing this proud day!

Hugs,
Spencer

PS......Yep, we'll be doing something special. It's Tuesday and we ALWAYS have a Tuesday Date. I asked him, yesterday, what he wanted to do and he's not sure yet. :-)

His mom took him to dinner. There were two very elderly couples at the restaurant. He asked his mom if they were on a field trip from the nursing home. Oh KIDS! You just never know what they're going to say, do you?
