It seems like ages since I've played with graphics! I've been playing all day and decided to end the day with a quick couple of vintage Easter tags to celebrate the upcoming Easter season. These would look so cute tied on a child's Easter basket. Who doesn't love polka dots!

2011 FLW Bass Fishing Tournaments
I was so excited to hear the news from my baby sister Peg that my nephew, Josh, has secured a sponsorship this year for his 2011 bass fishing tournament season! His sponsor, a local Chevrolet dealership wanted some photos, so she called me to design some layouts. We'll be rootin' for you Joshua!

This Winter has been so awful for sickness, and I, for one, am glad it is over. It started with hubby's Bronchitis he had while on vacation the week before Christmas, and then we passed it around a couple of times. Dad was in the hospital twice since New Year's with Bronchitis and/or pneumonia as well, but he's on the upside now and started pulmonary physical therapy yesterday to improve his lung function due to COPD impairment. Mom was also in the hospital with that stomach virus ~ a pretty severe case for someone in their 80's. But I'll be heading out tomorrow to Atlanta for a visit with them under much better circumstances! My sister Patty is coming down from Watertown, New York, so I'll get to see her during her annual Spring visit! Maybe we'll get to do something fun like visit a few of the antique malls. I haven't done anything fun in ages!
'Til next time,

Merry Christmas from our House to Yours!
I know I'm a little late, but wanted to share our Christmas home with you. We were late getting everything done, between hubby having Bronchitis on his week's vacation before Christmas, my straining my back and then coming down with some crud (bad cold or bronchitis too, for which I reluctantly broke down and called my doctor to ask for a prescription today). And it probably won't come down for another 3 weeks. I do hate to let go of Christmas! :)





We DID end up, surprisingly, having a White Christmas in South Carolina. It was only 3 inches of snow, but the beautiful white blanket of snow was so peaceful looking!


I really struggled getting the Christmas cookies baked, but the ever cheerful (even with just getting over his illness) Mr. Sew Dear, helped me finish up the "Thumbprints" and Chocolate Covered Cherry cookies!


For those of my praying blogger friends, please say a prayer for my Dad who is in the hospital again with, we think, pneumonia. He was there last year at Christmas, even with a flu shot. But they have x-rayed his lungs, given him a breathing treatment, and taken his blood, so hopefully they will have narrowed down which virus is giving him such a bad time and can get the right antibiotic in him quickly. At 83 years of age, pneumonia can be so dangerous.
Best wishes for a wonderful New Year for all of us!
