He's Here!!

Lincoln Joseph

My first grandchild arrived on November 3rd!!! Mom (my daughter) & baby are doing great!

I just returned from spending a week with them. He is so sweet and a very good baby, too!!

Now it's time to prepare for the fast approaching holidays!!!

I just learned that my partner for the Vintage Holiday Swap is Debbie @ Ribbonwood Cottage. (Check out her blog) I'd best get working on that. :)

Hello!

Just dropping in...something I haven't done in quite some time! It seems that fall just blew by here...the days are still nice and warm, but the leaves all changed and fell so fast that I don't even have any pictures. Well, I have a few that are actually outdoors shots of my son for his Senior pics. He made me promise that I would not be circulating any of those online. Don't know how long I can keep that promise!! ;)

This is a recent picture of my nephew's baby girl. She is a doll. I just got a call from my daughter & the doctor says that she is ready to deliver any time now!! So, I'm doing some packing and looking forward to heading out to MI!!!

Swap Items Sent

Here's a little collage of some of the items that I sent to Laurie for the Artsy Autumn Swap.

Great Graphics

A few weeks ago I happened upon a huge rummage sale, with lots of "junk" to sift through. In a very nasty garage I found a stack of old magazines. They date from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Some are from the U.S., some from Sweden & France. One is from London, England during the time of WWI. The graphics are so fun!! The ads are hilarious and the prices are amazing...$750 for a new car! The articles are interesting...one of them is all about how to add fat to your diet if you need to gain weight - my, how times have changed!! :)

I'm not sure what exactly I will be doing with these, but they have already given me hours of entertainment!
