Berry Salad

I found this delicious salad and dressing via. I threw in some raspberries as well, YUMMMM!

Can I tell you how easy and DELICIOUS it was?!?!?

We loved every little bite!!!

Happy Fourth of July!!

This morning Ms A enjoyed her first parade as a spectator. Our neighbor invited us to join her and her family to watch the parade. We cheered and clapped for the military and the marching bands. We has a wonderful time. Thank you Amy for the invite and enjoyable morning.

Later some other friends invited us over for a delicious barbeque and fireworks. We had a wonderful time chatting with friends, eating the amazing food and watching fireworks. Ms A had a little mishap with a sparkler, but after some love from mom and burn medicine from Rebecca, THANK YOU, she was back in the game having fun!

Playing with a sparkler.
Ms A has declared that the Fourth of July is her favorite holiday, along with Easter. She was grinning and cheering most of the evening.

Blanket Buddies.
Ms A and Mr L got a little chilly as the evening progressed, I grabbed a blanket and they snuggled in for the FABULOUS firework show!!

Dessert...I ***LOVE*** my trifle dish and the Triple Berry Trifle (layers of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries with angel food cake, cheesecake pudding and grated white chocolate) was a perfect addition to my dish.


Thank you Rebecca and Paul for the wonderful evening!!

Newest Creations

My dear friend brought over some beautiful hydrangeas after a rough week. They cheered up me up after my week long self pity party. Thanks L!!!

The flowers were a perfect springboard for this card:

Since I had my stamps out and some creative juices flowing, I played a little more and came up with these. My card stash needed to be replenished as well. :)



Ms A usually asks if I'm making any cards for her with hope in her eyes. This little card had a pretty dress in her favorite color with sparkles... perfect!!!
