Always A Delight

Love holidays! Always did when I worked in business world as it meant time off.
Now being retired, it is just fun to be able to drive around neighborhoods different times of the year just to see who decorates for a holiday being it Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas.

There is one particular home that I pass when going into town (Knoxville) to shop. Every holiday they decorate an old truck according to the holiday theme. Their property fronts on a rural road, not much traffic and it was easy for us (DH and I) to stop in the road to take a photo. Every time they change the look for the specific holiday. This of course being Christmas. With Santa sitting in an old truck, a tree in the back and "HO! HO! HO! Letters against their fence. It has lights of course but this was daytime. Notice he is carrying Rudolph in the back of the truck, nice touch.
I guess Valentines Day will be next.....to be continued.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Ho Ho Ho!

We have an old truck stuck in a snow drift behind a barn. I have told my husband I want him to haul it into the yard (it has no motor) and I want to plant flowers in and around it. He thinks I am crazy. I can now show him these pictures and show him I am not the only one ;)

Why I started to Blog.....

If you like to write, being a story, a poem, an article, your thoughts for others to see blogging is the way to go.

Being creative only since 2007 when I joined an internet group on yahoo and then a webiste for creative people on Swap-bot, this has been a way for me to write and create.

There are a great many bloggers with many creative ideas and stories to tell and I wanted to join in so here I am and I hope lyou will enjoy my muse.

I have gone thru a new phase in my life since 2007 and that is crafting. I did ATC's in all mediums and have started to think about quilting. I have done some fabric things. I have made fabric postcards in a yahoo group and did over 150 of them. Then fabric ATC's and they account for a few, but have two big looseleap books of paper ones I swapped with others. There are so many talented people and this is the way to find them.

In 2009 I really go into making fabric journals, inchies, other dolls and the lapquilts for my grandchildren.

It is 2012 and only one month left of this year.
Still doing swap-bot challenges. I think I have sent out over 1200 postal packages, letters, cards, goodies to people by now and intend on sending more as long as the post office doesn't get more extreme than they are already.

However, I did get the bug to write. I may not be great at it. I was a terrible in my English class at school. However, I love to write in journals, I make up nonsense stories to my grandchildren. Now I put all my writings down in a binder for my children and grandchilden can see what I did in my later lifetime. Even poetry has entered my thoughts as you can see on this blog.

Swap-bot has become addictive for me. I love trading crafts and things with others. To see abilities of others as they send you things they make. Wonderful fun!

Just go to http://www.swap-bot.com/ and see all the fun things you can share with others.
