Wood-Burning Fun!

Hello again friends and followers!

I have had this cabinet door sitting for over a year with this image penciled onto it, so that one day I would wood burn it into the door. I have no project in mind for it, I just wanted to do it for fun. And to play around with my new wood burning kit.

 I wood burned a squirrel image onto a piece of pine I believe in the 6th grade. I tried again for a camp site sign for my husband and I. It turned out really good, I will have to find it and post a picture if I haven’t already. 

So this would be my 3rd project with trying wood burning.  It was fun and definitely kept me busy after work and on weekends when I wasn’t doing chores or playing with my pets. 

 

My new Spider Plant

 

What a delightful surprise! 

My Assistant Manager left me this fantastic plant on my desk to make up for my recent Poinsettia plants departure. I was ecstatic! Especially when I seen the cute fun additions she added to the pot.

 Like this cat figurine.

And rockin smiley face!

So cute and so very thoughtful! I honestly have some wonderful co-workers. The good ones really out way the bad ones. I lost one plant and gained two. I look forward to this plant growing strong and producing some babies for me to share with them in return. ;)

Say Aloe to my little friend.. Day 1

 

Hello my friends and followers, it has been a while since I dropped a line into this blog. I decided today was the day! I haven’t been camping or doing much of anything outdoors in quite some time. So I am enjoying moments like today where one of my co-workers gifted me with this adorable plant for my desk. 

My rather large and what appeared to me the last time I seen it before my weekend off, a thriving Poinsettia plant had been removed from my desk last Monday. At first I was livid. But I found out the girl who gifted the what looked like at the time of it being given to me, that it was a dying wilting Poinsettia plant. I turned its life around and it was thriving with new undergrowth. I was a proud mama. But the co-worker who had given me the plant noticed over the weekend that it had died so she said she took care of it. I did get a little attached to the Poinsettia and was not thrilled that I did not get to see for myself whether I could save it, but it is what it is. 

I have now been given this adorable little fella from another co-worker who noticed I was a little saddened by the loss of my previous plant, It brightens up my day and I haven’t even had it 24 hrs yet! Right now it is just so darn cute I had to write about it! 

Happy New Year!

 

Cruising Route 66

 

I am so excited to have a fun ride again! It is not an RV, but being able to cruise in a fun car, is almost as good. I love cruising through small towns along Route 66, Americas Highway is a great drive. Okay as long as it is not near dusk or dawn, because during that time of the day, the deer are plentiful in Arcadia, OK and it can be dangerous at 55 mph! I think I seen a total of one deer crossing sign, nowhere near where  I almost hit a  a herd of   Deer on  my first drive. It was minutes before taking this pic of my new to me ride at POPS in Arcadia, OK
