Will we have a longer winter or an early Spring?

Happy Groundhog Day 

Hope you enjoy our Pinterest board of ideas for Groundhog Day. Personally, I am happy Phil didn't see his shadow this morning so we're supposed to get an early Spring. I guess we have to wait and see if he is correct this year or not.

Happy Grandparents Day family and friends

Grandparents Day Ideas

Anyone who is lucky enough to become a grandparent has been given a gift from God. We have been blessed with that gift three times. Our grandchildren are the best gift we've been given since our children were born.

Our grandparents are in Heaven, and sorely loved and missed. But, until we meet again we have wonderful memories of times we shared with them.

How do you plan to spend your day? Here are some ideas for Grandparents Day if you are in need of some. I hope you find something fun or useful. Many of these projects are quick, but provide wonderful memories made with love.

Back-to-School gifts to make for teachers

Back-to-School Gifts to make 

Some kids have already returned to school, but most children will return to school in about two to three weeks. That's enough time to make something special for your child's new teacher. There are many choices and they're so easy and don't cost much. Many gifts will help the teacher provide school tools to students in the classroom who need a little help.
