Oh, The Memories....

...Come flooding back to when the Thriller Album came out, I was eight years old and it was just amazing. I can remember going over to my friend Emily's house for a party and the album played the entire time. We all were memorized with the video, and not to mention his fantastic dance moves. MTV was blaring and we tried to copy the dance moves, but we never could master the moves of this talented man.

Every performance of his was absolutely electric, and I will miss the possibility of anymore music from him. I was excited for his come back...the one that was going to change things for him and bring back memories of my youth and even make new memories.

I will never forget the first time I saw this performance. Watch and remember.

Michael Jackson may be gone, but his music will always live on.

The end of May, the beginning of FUN

Wow! Can you believe that it is that time of year again? What time, are you asking? BBQ time of course, silly! I think most if not all Americans love a good BBQ. The favorites at my house are burgers, hot dogs and potatoes with onions wrapped in tin foil all grilled to perfection.



While grilling, it is always important to sing the "Oscar Myer Weiner song" Get ready lets give it a shot.

Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner

That is what I truly wish to be

cause if i were a Oscar Mayer weiner

everyone would be in love
oh everyone would be in love
everyone would be in love with me.

Now, seriously-don't you feel 100x's better. Like perhaps you can get your summer started. Okay, the unofficial start to summer. I suppose to be technical we should wait until the 21st of June, but that seems so far away. So, while waiting patiently for June to arrive-I have done a little research on hot dogs. I found out from the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (it’s a little funny we have a hot dog council :) ) Americans consume over 7 billion hot dog between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Can you believe it!!! And to top it off the weekend of July 4th we consume over 15 million hot dogs. CRAZY!! So,start eating your fair share and keep the Hot Dog council in business!!!

Thanks for doing your share and I hope you all had a great weekend!

Quilt

I just had to show off my the quilt my friend Peg helped me make. My kindergarten class is studying the letter "Qq" this week, so I had them make this neat tulip block. Peg came in to show me how to put them all together to look like a quilt. I just love it! I know the kids will love it also. Thanks again Pegster! You rock!

April Card Club (Church)...

I have not been to church cards since October of last year. So, I thought I best be high-tailing it over there and see what is happening. I'm really glad that I did. We made three cards and one was already made for us. Card club has not meet since December, due to bad weather. It was like a surprise to see what we would be making.





I really enjoyed all the cards. Have a great day.

Easter Hope

The great gift of Easter is hope -
Christian hope which makes us have
that confidence in God, in His ultimate triumph,
and in His goodness and love, which nothing can shake.
-Basil C. Hume

Wishing you a blessed and happy Easter, and praying that the victory of His empty tomb changes your life, as it has mine.

Easter Box...

I just love Reese's Peanut Butter cups. So, when the holidays roll around and they sell their product in cute little shapes I just have to buy them and of course eat them. However, I thought I best share, cause one only knows that I don't need to scarf the whole box of six down. So, I made up this little treat box slider. What a perfect way to send someone a little something and let them know that I'm thinking about them and wish them a Happy Easter. I used my new goodies I ordered from SU. Like the "Good Egg" Stamp set and then I used DSP from the Tea Party collection. If you would like to make one of your own or maybe a dozen or two, it is very simple.

Start with a piece of CS that measures: 6" x 4" Then score at 3/4" on the 4" side and 3/4", 2-3/4", 3-1/2", 5-1/2" on the 6" side. I glued the side the long side together, then I cut my slits to make the bottom. You should use the "Red" sticky tape to make it stay together, but I was out, so I just used snail adhesive. Easy Peasy and soooo cute!

I think this is my favorite Easter set right now. The little chick just makes me smile. Have a great weekend.

Easter Treats....

Wow! I have wonderful friends. Just look at the treats that I got to help celebrate Easter. I think back to the days that I hated chocolate. Hate chocolate? Really? I know! I use to tell people that it would give me a headache. I think I really thought it did, perhaps it might have. But, I really like it now. I mean really like it. In all shapes, flavors, and forms. So, when friends give me little treats containing chocolate, I get really HAPPY!

Wishing you all a happy and sweet day!
