Bark at the Park Day

Logan, Gome, Ellie and I had a nice time at the 'Bark in the Park' here in Columbia. I think that we all enjoyed seeing the beautiful dogs! Ellie had a great time - any booth that we would stop by immediately gave her a cookie or something! They had booths for people ice cream and doggie ice cream! There must have been 50 tents of crafts, doggie treats, doggie apparel and even doggie massage therapists, and psychics....Hmmmm...

WE had a nice 'family' day even though we missed Lane. It was a breezy early morning, but it was a fun 'girl day' for us!!

These beautiful Irish Setters and their 'people' are enjoying the ice cream!

The Rosewood Crawfish Festival

A very very breezy day downtown Columbia that day. as you can see in the picture we brought garden pavers to help anchor the tent! Met alot of great people and everyone loved the new items! My neighbor set up a tent as well. Even though they were slackers and didn't come early enough to be beside us (we had a palm reader instead???) she had a great turn out, too. WE thought that it was funny because we had been planning this for months and getting our inventory together and then once it was over we didn't know what to do with ourselves...we had free time that we weren't working on anything...Yikes...we weren't stressing about packaging and pricing and displays...funny...It is nice to have a purpose for crafting. We are going to look for our next 'purpose' and get started on that crazy path again! Yippee!!

I hope that catches everyone up a little bit on what's been going on in South Carolina...I will make sure that I blog when I get the pictures downloaded from our Memorial Day festival here at Sparrow Pointe!!

Well, take time to enjoy your family - don't forget to call them occasionally (my speech to myself) they like to hear your voice as well as seeing a blog and/or email!! Send pictures so they can see the fun you are having and most of all tell them that you love them!!

Enjoy!!

The bait is set...

Ellie is ready and waiting....

Baby Kitty is ready and waiting...

Lucy is ready and waiting...

Yes, that's right we are all having a little touch of the Springus Feverus...Usually brought on by the beautiful days of sunshine and the warmer weather...Also the fever is usually spiked by the longer days of play time...

So until the official calling of Spring Time and until the day that the groundhog DOESN'T see his shadow, we'll all wait patiently by the door dreaming about the birds and squirrels that will be there to chase!!

Enjoy your warming days with silly things like squirrel chasing and bird watching!!!

My 15 seconds of fame...

So, we've all heard about Mitt Romney's argument with a reporter about Lobbyist running his campaign...Well, guess WHERE that little argument happened??? That's right...at my little Staples store in Columbia, South Carolina...Our District Manager called about an hour before the whole 'thing' landed on us...A bus load of reporters, his body guards, and his 'handlers' arrived first and then he made his entrance. I handed him an Easy Button and shook his hand and he said that I was very kind...hmmm the presidential candidate thinks I'm KIND! Those were some nice words from a nice man. He was supposed to make it to the upstate but they were snowed in. I really don't mind being second choice because it was really exciting!

(we might have jinxed him, though...he received only 15% of the votes...eekk! Sorry!)

My 15 Seconds of Fun...

The night before the big Romney 'visit' it actually snowed in Columbia! Lane looked out the window and screamed 'SNOW'! like a little kid and went running around the house to find his shoes! We got bundled up and went outside to play. It was dark but you could see the quarter sized flakes! We must have took a hundred pictures but this one is my favorite. You can really catch Lane laughing because I was blinding him with the flash ( I was holding the camera in front of us)... That's Lane for ya...brings a LOT of fun and laughter to my life!

Take time to enjoy some laughter and silliness even if there isn't any snow...find a reason!!

Baby Kitty, the jungle cat!

Just thought this was a great picture of Baby Kitty trying to hide! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with anything going on...just a really cute picture that really grabs the personality of this cat. We 'inherited' him from one of my customers at work. He and his siblings were found in a parking lot in Columbia. This was the last of the family and I was suckered (didn't take too much to twist my arm) in to making him a part of the family. He was skinny, sick, flea infested...and now he is a strong healthy playful cat.

Just wanted to make sure that you all knew that I have an updated website now! It's officially up! It's at palmettocrafts.com. A friend of Lane's really did a great job! I'm hoping it will help me with my business (if that's really what you can call it at this stage)!!

So, take an minute and visit it and ....you know the drill...

ENJOY!
