Wow! Glad to be back!

Just a quick post to let you know I haven't fallen off the edge of the earth, lol. Yeah, right. We've spent the last 30 days getting ready for our youngest ones graduation party.

How hard can it be to plan a pig roast for 100 people you ask? Well, if you let your yard go as long as we have (5 yrs) it takes a lot of work to get it back on track. 11,000 lbs. of stones, 3 trailer loads of bark, plants and more plants. Didn't help that DH backed into 5 bushes next to the driveway when plowing last winter either. Ugh! Yard looks great now, so glad we had a great turnout and IT'S OVER! I'll get some pics up when I have them on the camera. (quick before it all dies)

I've decided to start a prize drawing using my newsletter. Think I'll start with a shell bead (to be made yet) and have it run 2x a month. The catch will be you actually have to open, read and click on a link in the newsletter. I use a paid service for my newsletter which keeps stats, the winner will be chosen from qualifying participants. As soon as I make the bead I'll post it here too.
