Marvelous Monday

So, where do I start?  This is a Marvelous Monday, but the weekend..... well...... let me tell you about it!! First off, we had a wonderful Friday at the Jacksonville Zoo.  It was a 'spur of the moment' trip, but thankfully with our annual tickets we can just go!  We LOVE the zoo.  As many times as we have been there it is still fun!

On Saturday we spent the morning doing some light cleaning.  The kids were very helpful and we got the job done very quickly! The rest of the morning they spent out playing with their friends!  THEN... we went to the Clay County Fair.  The kids had a BLAST - just look at them!!

Then there are the MANY FACES of MONSTER!!

What a great time we had!  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And then.... oh the way home we had some trouble with my Jeep!  While driving I was able to get to the side of the road without any problems, but when the jeep was unloaded from the tow truck at the house..... here is what happened...

OH MY!  I am not sure if it looks worst than it is - or - if it is worst than it looks.  I hope that today when the mechanic comes here we will get GOOD news...... 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then there is this - 

This bracelet was inspired by a little challenge between myself and CrossStitchCards. We have done a couple of these 'color' challenges. I have tried to do something a little bit out of my normal. I really do like it! 

What do you think???  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, as the kids go back to school today and life gets - semi - back to normal I would love to show off the work of mamaslittlemonkeys.  She loves making beautiful crafts and her great kids!  Please go check out her other items in her studio!  They are wonderful!!!

 

As Marvelous Monday is always MARVELOUS, please remember to enjoy your day and make everything MARVELOUS round you!!! ~KM

Here it is, Monday again!  For us it is the start of our summer vacation!  The kids are already 1/2 bored and 1/2 anxious to be outside.  Living in Florida does has it's perks, but for right now the rain is NOT one of them.  It has rained - LOTS - everyday for the last 2 weeks.  Between the flooding and bugs it is hard to be outside playing around!!   We have this drainage ditch behind our house that seems to be growing from a ditch to a lake!!  The problem is that there isn't room for a lake!!  

Now I know that we have all had that moment when we realize that our child is having more fun with the box that the present came in than the present you gave him....well, this was one of those moments.  The box is actually from a new hammock that I ordered from woot.com.  (if you don't know about woot,com,  you really need to check it out......I love IT!) But after Monster helped me open it he promptly claimed it as his own!  These were taken - just for fun - inbetween the calls to 'TAPE ME UP MOM'!!  It was a good 15 minutes of FUN!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So the weekend was spent creating some new necklace sets, finishing up a custom order and working on something new.  I did list one for today - it is something I showed you a couple of days again - in the making.  I just love these little beads.  They are dyed shell and they are so vibrant and smooth.  Talk about matching everything!!!  

A Rainbow of Color Among the Leaves Necklace Set

Now this is something else that I need to show off.... my great order from CrossStitchCards.  I am at ah of how beautiful these cards are!  My dear friend does such a great job with her creations.  I am always so proud and excited to give these cards out to my friends and family.  The price, by the way, is about the same as what you pay at a Big Box Store - but the quality and love - so much more!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, to close out today I would like to remind everyone that I have a sale going on in my studio.  It is 30% off all items!  It will be ending at midnight today, so if you really want something special - now is the time!
