Homemade Doll Closet

I finally finished the homemade doll closest for my granddaughters American Girl Dolls! They were made out of cardboard boxes, paint, wallpaper boarder, wooden dowel and wood drawer knobs with a screw. I added two sizes of hanger but the American Girl hangers actually work better. The plastic three drawer container I added for other accessories. It was a big hit with Maggie Beth and I am hoping Sarah Beth will love it too when I give it to her in in April.

I have taken on another big project for one of my co-workers. She was diagnosed with ALS and will be retiring soon. The pictures have been flooding in faster the I can keep up with for her scrapbook. I am so honored to be able to this for her and her husband.

Cupid

Got this super cute card in the mail this week. Don't know who the photographer was to give them credit but love the cupid idea! Been busy this week making mini closets for the girls American Girl doll clothes and accessories. If they turn out well I will put a picture on here. For now I will tell you it is made out of a cardboard box with a dowel, wall paper, borders, paint and a medium size plastic three drawer container plus wooden drawer pulls as door knobs. When I was a little girl a family friend made me one and then sewed the doll clothes to put in it. Fast forward fifty years and I am trying to make one for my grand daughters. Thank goodness for the invention of American Girl Doll clothes cause I could never sew them! LOL

Go Daddyo !

I just had to laugh out loud when I got this picture! Cory is usually so conservative. Guess there is just no end to what Daddy's will do to please there little girls. The big smile just says it all, what fun they must of had. "Go Daddyo!, all blinged out by Sarah Beth!"

2 Bits 4 bits 6 bits a dollar all for Sarah stand up and hollar!

Sarah Beth is cheer leading for her first time and her Moma is coaching the girls. Sarah Beth is not the least bit afraid to get out on the floor and do their routines and we all know the girl's got a set of lungs on her! LOL Moma is making sure the girls learn lots of routines and the girls love getting together for practice and the games. Go MIGHTY BLUE Go!

The other half

Just got the pictures from Shutterfly of the Virginia Beach kids the other day. They look so sweet sitting under the Christmas tree. Gotta get busy scrappin them now. Mom must have taken most of the pictures cause I didn't get but one of her. Ha, that's usually the what it goes,
either Mom or Dad is MIA due to picture taking!

Pride and Glory

Well there she is in all her glory, my husband's pride and joy! He has been wanting one of these for several years and finally bit the bullet and got it. Now mind you I was kicking and screaming all the way but, I gotta admit I'm enjoying it too!

What fun we had !

It was great to get away to Patrick's home this year for Christmas. It was decorated so cute ! I just love looking at their ornaments and hearing the stories behind them. This year I got all the men Atlanta Brave's snowmen since they had all attended a game together earlier this year. Of course the new baby got one for his first Christmas. This year we got to go to a beautifully decorated home where the lights were connected to music on the radio. This was a real treat and it was so much fun to watch the baby watching the lights. They also had a donation box for the American Cancer Society. Maggie Beth and I braved the cold weather and ran to the box with our donation. We all missed having the V.B. clan with us this year. Maggie Beth especially missed Sarah Beth. Maggie Beth says "she's my girl!" I had never heard her say that before, so sweet. We did get to talk on the phone and that helped some. I hope to get some pictures soon from them to post here. Saturday we got to take Maggie Beth to the movie. We saw the "Chipmonks, The Sequel". Her favorites were the girl chipmonks singing 'Shake what your Moma gave you!" LOL It all ended much to quick and Sunday we were back on the road with what seemed like a million other people headed for home. We were so blessed with a safe trip and time to spend with much loved family.
