The winner of my first ever blog giveaway (other than OWOH, which is awesome) IS ........ I want to thank everyone who commented. I think I may do this again, possibly when I hit 100 followers :~) I'm off to email the winner!  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

This is my 100th post. ( Who would have thought I had so much to say? ) And in celebration of the fact that I have a tendency to ramble on, and to thank you all for hanging out with me, I'm going to have a little giveaway. And it just so happens this little guy is interested in doing a little bit of traveling. Sooooooooo............ All you need to do to enter, is leave a comment on this post. No jumping through hoops or linking here and there.  Just say "Hi" and leave your email address if it isn't in your profile.  I'll pick a name at random on Sunday evening. GOOD LUCK! AND THANKS AGAIN FOR HANGIN OUT!

I have been messing with this stupid thing for 3 days now.... About a month ago I received an order of beads and as I was putting them away I just happened on a combination I thought would go awesome with the polymer roses I had made earlier and I figured as soon as I had a chance I could throw together a necklace and earring set. Did I keep that group of beads off to the side??  ...Umm NO...    Did I, at least,  keep one of each in a little bowl so I would remember the combo when I had the chance to get to it??  ..Umm NO.... I know it had some red and that is what I liked the most...the red. It also had these long gold spacers and I think white pearls? Didn't like the pearls, so I tried these glass thingies.  I like them better but now I think I'm likin' the silver spacers better.  And I think they work better with the pearls. I may have to give up completely on the red, but I am going to keep trying a little longer. I may have to throw the polymer...

This is where I was today. We rode for about 3 hours.   It was a beautiful day.    It was overcast, but in the 70s ( here that's about as warm as it gets in the middle of summer, and we're just getting started ) and a nice breeze to keep the skeeters down. His Hers This is Ruby Lake.  This picture shows end to end. Here are a couple of loons that you can't really see. (By the way all pics on this post are courtesy of Honey, since I forgot to bring my camera) A couple of stuffed animal friends over-looking the lake. (It took us the longest time to figure out what the heck these were.   We had to blow up the pics to see:) One of THEE MOST AWFUL pictures ever taken of me,  but hey, it's not a beauty contest,  it's a ride.  The Love of my Life. Not nearly as dirty as me, since he was in the lead. We can ride our 4-wheelers right from the house, along the trails and be here within about 30 minutes.  Who can't just l...

Meet our newest (and I mean REALLY new ☺) neighbors. They are so FLIPPIN CUTE when they are babies! Momma decided to take a short cut through our yard last night.  We guestimate these little ones were born earlier in the day.  One is still packin' his umbilical. We are taking a four day weekend.  Today we are taking the 4 wheelers out.  Hoping to get a little riding in before it gets too crowded on the trails out here.  Then we will be doing yard work for at least a couple of days and hopefully a day of rest before going back to work. Hope everyone has a safe, happy, relaxing, productive weekend!

I honestly cannot bring myself to stay in the house and clay.  I have tons of ideas.  But up here the weather is very, very  unpredictable, ( the weather predictors try and usually fail miserably, but at least they try ☺ ) so if the sun is shining, ( which it has been the last week and a half, and they have been predicting RAIN for the last 3 days ☺) I have to be outside.  Summer is short in these parts, and in the summer, I only clay when it rains! Here  I am half way done clearing 'treelings' and a very few weeds that have grown up in the garden.  We have surmised that the soil that we had brought in 3 years ago, was somehow 'sterile'.  Absolutely nothing, including dandelions, would grow in this dirt.  So, we are having new topsoil brought in and we are building it up another few inches, and I am DAMNED determined to grow something in here! Keep ya posted☺

Shed's done, On to the garden. I  promise some crafty stuff soon☺
