Welcome Spring!

We've had a

beautiful weekend,

here in the Pacific NW!

 

One whole day of

glorious

sunshine...

(I'm not complaining,

I was tickled pink about

it...I just know we're

going to have more soon)!

 

 

I'm welcoming Spring

with open arms,

and

lots of Zinnia seeds

to play in the dirt with! 

 

Doesn't that sound like fun?

...I think so!

 

I found this sweet wreath

last year at one of my favorite

thrift stores.

 

 

I think I was pretty lucky to

find such a beautiful

wreath, especially,

with white tulips,

don't you

agree?

 

 

There, a sweet little pastel welcome sign...

Now it's just perfect!

Thank you so much for

visiting my blog,

I'd looove it if you left me a

message!

 

Always, Debbie~

 



Spring Has Sprung!

Spring is in the air!

 

When my Weeping Pussy Willow bloom's,

I know Spring has Sprung!

 

 

It's full of the little

fuzzies!

 

 

Don't you just love Pussy Willows?

 

 

...and the little birds love the Willow too!

 

 

Sweet little prims...

 

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy Spring Everyone!!!

 

Always, Debbie~

 

 

 

 

Do You Bunco?

I love my Bunco

Girlfriends!

 

We play once a month,

and when there's a

holiday...

 

It's Party ON!

 

If you haven't ever played,

you might look into

starting your own group!

 

It's a dice game, with

12 players...(you can

talk, and play, no strategy)

 

Some groups

play with their husbands,

others, like ours, are just

gals...

 

The main thing is, choose

who you know will be fun

and a good fit for your group.

 

We plan on playing together

forever!!!

 

The word is out, on how

fun our Bunco gals are,

and we have people asking

to be subs...we actually

have 13 players, and if

we all show up, then many

times, the hostess is just that...

(and sometimes, that's a blessing)!

 

Check online for Bunco rules.

 

We each pay $6 dollars to play,

and have money prizes...

The hostess provides dinner, desserts

& sometimes other giftys too,

(that's totally up to her)!

 

We're a party group, so many times

we go all out for holidays!

 

Our hostess for Valentine's Day

is also our group creator,

I call her our 'Party Gal',

here are a few pictures of our

Valentine Party!

 

~Wish you could have been there too~

~a candy bar~

~you could decorate your own cookies~

 

I forgot to take pictures of the three tables...

they were beautiful, adorned with silver chargers, all set

with hearts sprinkled about, and a heart shaped

box of chocolates in the center of each place setting!

Also a pretty jar with conversation hearts at each table!

 

I know, I know, I'm terrible about taking pictures...

Jeri (our hostess), also had the most incredible

Panini station set up in front of this area...

with several different types of cheeses, meats,

olives, onions, tomatoes, condiment's etc.

...and what, four different salads!

(OMGoodness, an electric Panini iron, 

and a timer...)

 

WOW!!!   

 



~these are our Birthday cupcakes~

(Each month if someone has a birthday, Pam, 

who we also call the 'Cookie Lady' makes

cupcakes for the birthday girl)!

 

Oh, and the jar lids you see,

belong to small jars of vanilla ice-cream 

(she'd fixed ahead of time), 

just waiting for the hot fudge topping!

 

...and this, yep cheescake!

 

I mean really?

 

Jeri really goes over the top, don't you agree?

 

We were waited on, and pampered like you

would not believe!!! There was so much

more, but you get the idea...

pure enjoyment!

 

I also forgot to take a picture of the bar,

I won't even go into that...too much to tell!

 

We love you Jeri,

thank YOU, for such a fun

Bunco Party!

 

We also had a Valentine exchange,

yep, I told you, we looove our parties!

We're pretty much like little girls when

Valentine Day rolls around.

 

 

Our hostess with the mostest,

had a bucket ready for each of us...

 

Over flowing with love, from our

Bunco Girlfriends!

 

 

We 

Laughed & Giggled, 

as we went through our loot,

(because the little girl in us

always come out),

 yes it does!!! 

 

Thank you for visiting my blog,

I'd looove it,

if you'd leave a message!!!

 

Always, Debbie~

 

 

 



Her First Valentine Exchange!

Remember the day,

of your

'very first ever'

Valentine exchange?

 

Such a sweet

memory!

 

A couple of weeks ago,

my Granddaughter Lulu,

 and I, worked on her

first ever, Valentine project

for her kindergarten

Valentine exchange...

 

 

For the girls,

 

I drew a 'Sassy' Lip pattern,

 

...and

 

for the boys,

a

~Mustache~

 

Easy, quick & Fun!

 

We traced the amount we needed 

onto fun foam,

then I cut them out, 

as Lulu punched the holes

and inserted the heart suckers! 

 

I ran off her Valentine message,

and we stapled them onto the suckers,

and TA DA, they turned

out adorable!

Lulu loved them!

 

 

 

Finished Valentine!

 

She could hardly

wait to hand them out!

 

 

What fun we had making these!

 

 

There she is, Miss Sassy Lips!

 

 

I ~mustache~ you... 

My friends,

wouldn't you agree,

that she looks adorable

either way?  

 

Happy Valentine's Day

 

Thanks so much

for visiting my

blog, I really appreciate you

stopping by, and would

looove it if you'd leave

a message!

 

Always, Debbie~
