FUN FRIDAYS

As we celebrate Memorial Day I remember the Sailor who stole my heart, as you can see he was a lot of fun! We married young and had a great 20 years, blessed with 4 wonderful children and his legacy lives on in his 5 Grandchildren. His time was too short and the days we had flew by. I was blessed to have him in my life as my soul mate. He was my Husband, my Lover and my Best Friend. I celebrate this person as he made me complete. He is the always with me in spirit and remains in my heart forever my Best Friend. Many years have passed but he has never left the recesses of my  mind. Hats off to "My Sailor" and all the other military men out there, a very HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

WHEEE---KNOTT"S BERRY FARM TIMBER MOUNTAIN LOG RIDE

A great time was had by all on Saturday when visiting Knott's Berry Farm with beautiful blue skies and plenty of sunshine. Timber Mountain Log Ride is always a safe one for Grandma, laughing and screaming all the way! The girls went on many other rides, then we're off to the "Pink's Famous Hot Dog" stand a Hollywood Legend, with one recently located in Knott's, after lunch more rides and shopping. We finished up with one more ride, BigFoot Rapids. The camera wasn't water proof  and was tucked away just in time before a real drenching! No visit is complete without a dinner in Mrs Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant which opened in 1934 and still remains the same.  I'm thankful somethings are timeless!  Like myself, Haa.. I wish, but happy I'm able to still enjoy the ride!

FUN FRIDAYS

This Fun Friday all started with last weekends neighborhood annual yard sale sponsored by one of the Realtors in our area. My neighbor Deb, from Possible Impossible Studios hoped in her truck and we covered about 50 or so yard sales. We had a great time running from one place to another finding great things. This was my greatest find, a Burroughs adding machine from about the 1920's with original tape intact. The best part of it all was the cost, only $15.00 what a deal. I could hardly lift it but managed to do so since I wasn't going to leave it behind, especially at that price. Apparently it once belonged to this families Grandfather and was used in his store. Imagine the stories it could tell. It now resides on the dresser in a spare bedroom and my youngest son has claimed it as his! I think he is the only one in the family who appreciates my crazy collecting ways and loves all things old. I'm pleased that he liked it so much, after all someone is going to want to keep some of my treasures and it would be nice if it was one of my adult children. Maybe a Grandchild will love this stuff, who knows, as I say to each his own. Meanwhile I will have had the Fun of the Find!

TIPS FOR TUESDAY

Good Bye Fruit Flies.....Get rid of those pesky Fruit Flies! Take a small glass, fill it with 1/2" Apple Cider vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid, mix well. You will find those pesky little buggers drawn to the cup and gone forever. Have a fun week!

FUN FRIDAYS

Today the fun begins, this is a photo of one of the treasures in my sewing studio, an antique White Rotary sewing machine that was missing parts so it was converted into a lamp. Today and through the weekend I will be cleaning, and re-arranging so I can get down to creating.  I have a few of my paper filigree treasures that will be completed and ready to list in my Lulus Lovlies  Heartful Creations Blog or Etsy. Finally progress is being made. This room is where everything takes place with the exception of half my bedroom which contains all paper goods, german glass glitters, tinsel and other smaller vintage treasure. There just isn't enough space to have everything in one workspace, I guess I have a studio and a half! At least for now. Too bad I need a bed to sleep or I would have more room! Back to work I go!

Feel free click on the link to check back as I  continue on this wonderful new creative journey that I'm  just getting beginning.  I have never sold my creations online and they have just been given as gifts for friends and family. All my life I have been  collecting and creating something and always looking for new ideas to try. Between being a single parent, raising a family, working, and many other of life's challenges  I haven't been able to pursue all my creative dreams as I had hoped to. Now is My time, some may say at age 68  years why now? I say why not? You've only just begun, after all I'm very Young at Heart!  I would like to thank Karen of Valentine Designs for my lovely Blog shop and Blog design  to enhance my postings. Karen was a pleasure to work with and knew exactly what I was looking for in the way of layout and design. Please stop by and check out her beautiful work, Karen can create just about anything that you are looking for.  Now I can get back to what I love doing the most, "Creating" and giving new life by adding something old to something new within the creation. My previous banner will now return to my ebay page for which is was designed.  Let the Fun and  Creative Journey begin!
