Memorial Day 2011

 We are home from a most wonderful visit to the cematary in Tumwater, Washington!  It is so beautiful with all the giant flags out.

  All of the Veterans burried here have another smallish flag by their headstones.  Mike and I brought the boys today and walked around and found service members from all walks of life and from all different places.  We saw markers the dated as far back as the Spanish American War...all the way upto and including a fallen soilder from our hometown of Rainer that went to my kids High School.  We paid tribute to all and it was a beautiful day.  The boys really liked it too.  Enjoy your day everyone and come and see me this week at the store!

Happy Memorial Day Weedkend! Remember A Vet this weekend!

Hello ladies...well it is the end to another week...boy, Now that I am "50"....the days just fly by!  Actually they have been flying for quite sometime now! 

The Used Product Sale is going on today and tomorrow.  We will be closed on Sunday in Observance of Memorial Day.

 I will be helping out along with my husband and 2 boys at the very small service the American Legion out in Rainer does at our local cemetery....I think it is important to teach our children that this is just not a "day off of school"  There is a reason behind it!

Let's see So this month we have gotten in a lot of new papers...here it is in review:
Echo Park, Summer Days and Splash (these both are such cute lines for Summer)
Pink Paislee...Butterfly Garden(omgosh...this one is so light and beautiful)
Cosmo....This and That (adorable vintage)
Creative Imaginations...Tide Pools (again)
Three Bugs.... Dawson (Dino papers)
May Arts...ribbon
BoBunny....new double dots papers
Sticker King  (yes I got some fun stickers)

I also have a couple of thing in the wind...Melissa Francis...the retro cooking line and one other too and  a Newish Disney Line...from someone

Now we will stop ordering for a couple of months and wait to see what Summer CHA is going to bring us for Fall and Christmas!

Please take a moment to REMEMBER all that was given for our Freedom and all of our Liberties!
