JUST CLIP IT...CLIP IT GOOD

I've been crafting with my origami birds

and clothes pins.

There are baskets of birds

in my house

and I wanted to come up with another

way to use them for

my etsy site.

My sister in law Terry, suggested I attach them

to clothes pins

for a fun fastener.

And so I did...

and have sold two sets!!!

Now I know, about now you are saying to yourself

"what the heck can I do with

Origami Bird Clothes Pins?"

Well, here is just a few

delightful ideas.

Embellish a special gift

or attach it to a

Birthday or Thank you card

as an extra something.

Keep your letters

organized.

Use it in the bathroom for drying your wash cloth

or hanging your sponge.

Maybe as a bookmark.

You can even clip your chips.

Anything needs clipin...

use an Origami Bird Clothes Pin.

Yep, every home needs one

or two

or even three.

Happy Clipping!

A WALK THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The neighborhood

where I live offers

an award 

 "Yard of the Month".

The sign caught my eye this morning

as I took my walk,

Congratulations to the June winner!

Our neighborhood is very eclectic,

you have to take

 the good with the bad.

The good always makes me

smile.

I absolutely love

 people that take pride 

in their front yard.

It makes walking the dogs (baggie in hand)

so much more

enjoyable.

It seems that the flowers are blooming

much earlier this year.

I love it,

 it's beautiful,

but I'm fearful for the coming winter

and what it will bring.

Lets not think about the future.

Lets just enjoy this walk

through the

"Tree Streets Southside Neighborhood."

Sweet Bungalow.

Hydrangeas and window boxes.

Just down the street.

This woman's a

 GARDENER...

big time.

A shot of one of her side beds.

One of my favorites.

Who needs color

when you look this good.

Well that's the tour

and of course I couldn't leave out our home,

"Buttermilk Cottage."

Happy Gardening.

BONDING

Susan has been away for the past four days.

She went home to visit our folks

and celebrate my Mom's Birthday.

In the mean time I've been bonding with

our new dog, Chaos.

He's quite a handsome guy

for an old gent of fifteen.

He's been a real sweetheart too,

 adjusting to his

new home and lifestyle.

Chaos is actually my brother's dog

who has moved to

Germany for a few years,

we've stepped up to foster Chaos

while his family is away.

Chaos has had to adapt to new food and

and a new bed, but he is taking it

 all in stride. 

I know he misses his family lots, but

he has a knack

for making his new

step-moms

feel like he wouldn't have it

 any other way.

If his folks are going to have an

adventure, why shouldn't he.

Thanks Rick and Terry.

FINDERS KEEPERS

Okay, so I was walking the dog the other day

 down the back alley.

And what did I see in the high grass?

That's right, laying in pieces...

someones art project.

The top of the head (which looked like brains) had

been broken off.

Well I  couldn't just leave it there.

So what did I do?

Brought it home

 stuck a plant in the top

and

added it to the garden.

Did I do wrong?

Happy Gardening!
