Treasures

My blocks are finished!! 70 to be exact! Yahoo!


Signed, sealed and ready to be delivered to Melissa (Cornbread and Beans). The blocks were fast and fun and I'm looking forward to the actual swap and seeing the siggys of a few of my bloggie friends.


It is so rewarding to use scraps!! Thanks Melissa for hosting the swap!



Dancer just finished up a week of local dance camp. She is a captain of the j.v. team and she had a fabulous time. We are all looking forward to another year of dance. There are only four home football games this year....I hope there will be more basketball games. Our high school has an awesome dance program (both varsity and j.v.)!!


My missionary son just hit his 18 month mark! I am the mother so therefore I have extremely happy feet. Six months to go!! I don't know why he is sitting next to a fire hydrant with a funny look on his face...your guess is as good as mine! Maybe because he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up!


Another man's trash just became my treasure! I love this little writing desk! I am such a romantic...I like to imagine someone wrote love letters on it. You know, like the characters form a Jane Austen novel. Mr. Darcy can write me a letter any time!

Piece & love,
Dawn

You are funny. Aren't we all romantics at heart. I'm glad your son is doing well. And your daughter, too. Wow. 70 blocks! I know my limits and I couldn't have done this right now. So I'll live vicariously through you on this one.

Your kids are so cute.
I am signing all my siggy blocks. That takes time too.
Nice desk. You should check it out for secret drawers in the big drawer.I was watching a show yesterday and it seems that it was done quite a bit, secret spaces.
