I just finished a marathon session with my two younger daughters watching the ENTIRE series over a two day period (we tried to stretch it out longer... but couldn't wait to watch each episode!)... and we loved, loved, loved it!<br />I own the other dvds in the PBS "living history" series - Regency House, Manor House, Colonial House, Frontier House, and 1940s House. They're all spectacular. But they also ALL help me, at least momentarily, to stop wishing I was born in another time period and better appreciate all the blessing of living in 2008 (um... I absolutely LOVE indoor plumbing)...

I've had an incredibly busy month and wasn't able to make plans to attend, so I thought I throw together a last minute, albeit small ~ but FUN, tea party here to party, PaRtY, PARTY with Vanessa and all the other party goers today!!! A few were invited and all RSVP'd, but after Alice arrived... well, the room WAS a bit small... *sigh*... but I can attest to the fact that Alice enjoyed herself VERY much :)</div><div> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>curious and curiouser...http://www.blogger.com/profile/09504782856047714917noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891399918232335538.post-8169634697540014402008-06-28T14:27:00.000-07:002008-06-28T18:42:21.008-07:00Miss Charly Ann DanielsWe love you and miss you more each passing day <3<br /><br />*this post references a very beautiful girl I wrote about in my very first blog [see below]<br />~ she's an incredible girl who is very loved <3 <br />I think this video was taken just after Charly and my daughter, Briana, met in '99 or '00 and it was shown as a trailer just before church service started ~ <a href="http://www.flipsidechurch.com/">www.flipsidechurch.com</a><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/96pYUCL4Q7o&hl=" color1="0x3a3a3a&color2=" border="1" width="425" height="349" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>curious and curiouser...http://www.blogger.com/profile/09504782856047714917noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891399918232335538.post-7486069102681740422008-06-16T20:59:00.001-07:002008-06-16T21:06:29.124-07:00A Party at Fanciful Twist!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij4mFe_41J19CXNXZP6kWWqxgInAwNcneD8VSM0JbW69ku4xTU59TS-8QHh0z0KKoP6ZGM-k47OqT_gHZyTEh5nTqimX0alqw53vnHV7KhM5aVDsAC00jS4H1k4OleBptMKmmAdK-2Xwy6/s1600-h/afancifultwistpartlargeflyer.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212695514183043346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij4mFe_41J19CXNXZP6kWWqxgInAwNcneD8VSM0JbW69ku4xTU59TS-8QHh0z0KKoP6ZGM-k47OqT_gHZyTEh5nTqimX0alqw53vnHV7KhM5aVDsAC00jS4H1k4OleBptMKmmAdK-2Xwy6/s320/afancifultwistpartlargeflyer.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I'm SO excited!

The victorian looking picture frames hanging on the wall are from the local scrapbook store - I just bought stickers from Belle & Boo [www.belleandboo.blogspot.com] and am going to hang them using these frames!

Today Grandpa, Aunt Betsy, and two of my girls helped me make a Mother's Day gift from the boys for their mom, my sister-in-law... I printed the inside frame, message and the boys' names and the year in Microsoft Word and printed them on white cardstock. I then painted the boys' hands with black acrylic craft paint - Robert said he thought it tickled and Michael threw a little fit (I should have done it when he took his morning nap).
