Fall and Christmas Celebrations--in July!!

We have been getting more rain but 1-2 inches in 20 minutes has it's draw backs in the desert!

Flash Flooding! 

When we lived in Las Vegas it was really something to see.  The freeway exchange where we lived would be completely under water.  They have since redesigned that section of the freeway.

On a fun note I will be giving away this ornament (still in celebration of the rain dance, Christmas in July and Fall's Splendor Shop Hop)!

Leave a comment here and I will pick a name on Monday morning July 23. 

Any new followers welcome too.

 I am finding that my weekends are spend outside working on the house and I have been caught hiding downstairs at the computer too many times in the last couple of weeks.

Snowman Give Away in July!

There are Angels among us and one happens to be Denalee at Silver Strands!! For a very inspirational blog stop here and watch her videos. I ended up linking to her because I also have “Silver Strands”.  Her blog name drew my attention.  So I checked it out.  Then after seeing her site I was hooked.  She is also the first person to follow my new blog!
What a wild and crazy summer already…but Snowmen in July?! So this will be the Holiday Snowman that will be for the give away at Silver Strands!!
 
 

Holiday Snowman

This is a hand made frame measuring 7 ½ x 7 ½ inches from reclaimed wood. The design is by Renee Mullins and has been adapted to fit the frame. This holiday snowman is ready to celebrate! The Snowman is holding a tree that has a star button and his friend, the cardinal, in the other arm. It has been hand painted on fiberglass black screen. The frame is painted Avocado Green. It has been sprayed with a matte finish. It has a saw tooth metal hanger on the back.
 
So follow the instructions on Silver Strands for points and inspiration.  It is a great site!!
