Encanto Palmcroft Historic Home and Garden Tour

On Sunday, March 27th 10:00am-4pm the Encanto-Palmcroft Historic District will present its anxiously awaited home tour and street fair located in Phoenix (9th Avenue and Monte Vista).

I will be there peddling my calendars. Here is a smaller 13x9" size that I completed today.

Have a great weekend!

This is a family photo taken on Sunday March 20th at my father-in-law's memorial. The memorial was at his home in Sunnyslope. His home is nearly a 100 years old and has such character just like Randy had. It is hard to believe that he is really gone.

May he rest in peace! He was truly a wonderful soul.

Hugs,

Shirley

What a week I had!

On a happier note last Thursday was my very special friend Melody's birthday! Happy Birthday dear friend. It was also the untimely death of my father-in-law. Justin along with his sibblings have spent time preparing for his memorial. Although he will be deeply missed, we are okay with his death because he is no longer suffering and he is in a much happier place "Heaven".

Hugs for now!

Dr. Seuss's Birthday!

What a wonderful morning I had today! I was privileged to come to Knox Elementary School to read to Katie bugs classmates. Of course since we are celebrating the birthday of the famous Dr. Seuss, I read "If I had two duck feet". Katie loved helping me turn the pages.

I am so blessed to have Mrs. Jenn Coughlin as her teacher. She has made a difference in Katie's progress with learning. Katie loves her along with the teacher aides and all of her new friends!

Hugs for now!

Happy Tuesday!

Vintage Circus matchbox Perpetual Calendar

Hello and how are you doing today? I spent some time today shampooing the remaining carpet in our home. We have ripped out 80% of it and are saving for some kind of new flooring. I wanted stained concrete but my husband will have to do the job and it's a back breaker from what he tells me! Oh well.

I celebrated my "4o ish" birthday on February 8th. It is so hard to believe that I will be 50 next year. I have the heart of a young child and the body of a broken down little red wagon. Oh well again!

I went to Mystic Paper last week and purchased the new line of Graphic 45 paper (Circus theme). I made a matchbox calendar out of it using all of the fun vintage circus cake toppers and other unique stuff that I had forgotten about.

My next calendar will be made using the new Graphic 45 "Curtain Call". I have attached a photo of the "Vintage Circus" calendar that I finished yesterday.
