We have had a lot of tough years, and a lot of good years...sounds like marriage. But we're here today/together on our 21st anniversary, so!!! Ok, I could go on, just wanted to wish my hubs a happy 21st anniversary.

Here's another blast from the past, another Maureen Mills/Sweet Meadows Farm pattern...made this lil gal last year, and am making a few more for my shows and craft mall festivals...gonna change her up a bit, put a different face on her, will post new ones later.

My Daughter Nikki's Graduation from College at SLU



I haven't had a chance to post my oldest daughter's graduation from SLU College. I'm so proud of her, she just graduated and received her Bachelor's degree. And is going back to SLU in the fall for her Master's in Bio-Security..!!! Here's another pic of the whole college, and all it's graduates...the school is a BIT large..LOL



AND...here is a shot of her when she actually graduated, the school is so large that they simply have all the students in that particular field of study stand and they graduate as a whole class instead of individually. It's rather a different way to do it, but naturally would take forever for each person to receive a diploma...



Congratulations Nikki, I'm so proud of you...have fun this fall hon...love you ..
