Ominous Skies

Thankfully the rain that came through last night was just rain. The skies had an eerie look to them before the rain came in. We are very thankful for the rain. We've had a bit of a drought lately.

Brown Paper Bags

During my life without internet last week, I had extra time to do some crafting. I love working with paper. My medium is brown paper bags. Just a few projects that I set in motion. I've made a lot of things with brown paper bags in my lifetime.

New Pieces of Decor

Last summer my parents had a yard sale.  Dad saw me admiring his old toolbox, so he just gave it to me.  At the time, he couldn't figure out just what I was going to do with it.  He also threw in some old rake and shovel pieces.  I was pleased to show him that I put them to good use as I redecorated last week.

My Backyard

It's been awhile since I've last posted.  Our internet was down for almost two weeks.  During that time, I became more aware of just how addicted to the internet we are.  We went through IWS.  Internet Withdrawal Syndrome.  I have to say, I got lots more accomplished around the house in those two weeks than I usually do.  Here are a few pictures I took on my walk yesterday.
