Graduation Time

Well after a few days off of work doing the carpets and waxing floors the running seem to never end for food and decorations, I could feel the tensions building up........and boom in a matter of three hours we are done@@ ............. We had a beautiful day of low winds, 70 degress and no bugs!! The table above was the entry table with her personal basketball cake and guest book

We had both pork and beef, then frui and veggies....I just thought the ladies did an awesome job on these trays!I had two WONDERFUL helprs

Can you tell she is happy this day came!!?

I almost cried but I didn't! :)

Later after the open house was done I took a walk to see what my roses were up to.....

Then later in the day......dress was gone.....and some younger kids came over and yup.... things got back to normal in our boots and jeans and muddin on 4- wheelers. HAHAHA crazy kids! Later in the evening we held a bon fire... was a great time for all!!

Soooooo today......my final day of vacation....I ran to watertown SD with hubby and put flowers on my fathers grave....then we went out to eat and we got home and I decided to get some small creative things done.... small art trading cards~~

school of fish

This is actually a photo I took and created into an atc,

All the cards can be found in my etsy shop.

Today was cooler...and ccloudy we have alot of crop to out in yet, due to so much rain the farmers can not do much....... but.....now onto the next chapter in our home and lives~

so until next time I hope you all have a great week!!

More Color and Good Times

Well as promised from previous post we got more color coming our way~ Prom day arrived on May 7, This was a week of nails, pedicures, hair dressers. and dress alterations!
The date arrives with the car!
Several couples going together, These girls have been friends since preschool. Almost hard to take this photo of these gorgeous young ladies!
Kids just hanging out at our home for a few hours before they head to prom!
Entering the stage!! Their Theme was "Wild at Heart"
Sisters, *laughs* who would think they would be related.?
The fun walk, just having fun!
Well now the tulips are open!!
Clematis is peeking through!!
I really need to get out there and weed, but until I can get that far, I wanted to capture these flowers while they last!

Tis a busy time on the farm, hubby is rolling some mighty long hours to get the crop in, season is late due to weather patterns being so wet AGAIN! and tonight as I work on this we have rain in the forecast after midnight, so he is rolling until the storm rolls in,

I quickly did a once over in the garden with the tiller. even though it is wet out there, I managed to get some seeds in the ground, so now to sit back and cross our fingers!! I know I am looking forward to some garden goodies!!

Until next time~ Have a great week!

Ohh So Much Color!!

A sneak preview of this coming weekend. I have a feeling it will be colorful! Have you ever seen purple and orange together? I have to admit I have not but....
I have a feeling it will be very pretty on her! :) So more updates on that next week hopefully!...This will be her Senior Prom.
Jewels seem to be the top priority so I spent a better part of a day off sewing and glueing on beads and gems...... ohhhh la la!
Ohhhhhhhh right up my alley....with graduation a few weeks away it was time tog et some plants potted.... I woke up this morning to this and just had to share my excitement
I created three different pots useing her favorite flower....(shasta daisy in jewel tone colors)
along with some geraniums and some greens to intermix
The flowers much like myself today are enjoying some sun!
So rich in hue
A few whisps of white and soft pinks to be fillers was just the right touch!
I hope now the challenge for 3 weeks will be to get them to fill out some and looking good!!


Oh I was moving along peeking in blogs as I do and I came across this.... (sorry if I mess this up as I am not techie wise when it comes to posting links..... but it is a good read and so here it is~
