Spring Time Flowers

Love Spring Time Flowers

Here are some random pictures of the Farmers Markets . Do you frequent Farmer Markets in your community?

Biola University Summer Camp

My Julia Rose (14) loves her Christian Youth Group at Skyline Church in La Mesa, CA . This summer she wants to attend The Biola University Summer Camp in July 2013. She continues to sell her handmade items at the local Rancho San Diego Farmers Market. We decided to add a Paypal button for her handmade cards. For $5.00 plus a dollar for shipping we will send a cute Victorian like card. Thank you so much for your support !

Michael's Craft Girl

I love Michael's . It loves me. I actually needed to buy more craft supplies for tomorrow's Farmers Market. It's good to switch up your inventory to keep the booth from looking different and inviting.
Would you believe I couldn't even wait to get home and start crafting? I made 3 cards while in the truck waiting for Julia to get out of school.
Was it craziness ? Impatience ? Being driven? Tell you what it was fun. Totally forgot I was in cramp quarters and I barely could get out of the truck. Ok that could be age . ......What projects do you love to make?

The Color Purple

Elaine @ Sunny Simple Life shared a story recently of an area in her yard that she beautified with the color purple . Visit her story here

Now I'm seeing purple in my travels.

I bet you will get the purple bug as well !

Easter 2013

Spent the day with Julia -we enjoyed a beautiful Sunday service at Skyline Church . Ate Pancakes at the IHOP then ventured to childhood friends family picnic. I needed a 2 hour power nap upon returning home. What pictures did I manage to take ? 4 Yes , 4 little photos . I will do better next time. Guess what's important is faith,family, food and fun on special holidays right? Also not to have hate in my heart with all the spam I've been getting lately. Is it just me ?

Vintage Mexican Flamenco Dolls

How are collections started? I think I've started one without even realizing it! Last summer during one of my yard sale haunts I am across a beautiful vintage flamenco dancer doll with a pretty red dress with yellow polkadots . She was $5 . Today a whole season later I came across a similar doll with cream lace looking a lot like a flamenco bride doll. It was a dollar! Now I have two!They are both Carselle Munecos made in Mexico . I wonder what next season will bring!
How did your collection start?
