Below are LuciaLPL's gorgeous charms. All these charms sure do enhance the little birdies. So glad our hostess found these cuties:

Hi Barb, sorry but no to the pattern request. I saw this done on Pinterest and thought it would be easy to replicate (which it has to be for my skill-level!). Pretty easy stuff. Looking at it now, I wish I had used a different border color, but...eh....it's fine

I meant the white. It's a little stark.

Hello ~ I sent out all July Birthday Wishes in the mail as of today.

We just returned from a vacation with our Adult 'kids', other family and friends, 20 in all, to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary on our son's houseboat at Lake Powell in southern Utah. Spectacular scenery of desert landscapes, phenomenal sunrises and sunsets. Nice place to visit (the desert) but sure don't want to live there ever again.... tried living in AZ made it four years until we realized we are Rocky Mountain people and moved back to the mountains. Can you believe it we actually missed snow and changing seasons!

Lake Powell area was suffering the worst heatwave in many years 120 degrees one day. These old bones of mine aren't 40 anymore and thank goodness the houseboat was air conditioned and it was decided to keep it in the covered slip with access to power to keep us cool. Speedboats could come and go from the houseboat and kept the 'youngers' in the sun to hydro-foil, water ski etc. All-in-All a great way to celebrate our anniversary with lots of stories and laughter.

In the pile of mail upon our return there were already birthday cards from several of you. Since I opted last year to open all on the big day, for me the end of the month, I will do the same this year.

Can't list what day these cards were rec'd but here is the list of rec'd cards so far. With smiles and (((Hugs))) and a big Thank-you to:
