Friday show and tell

This is one of the smaller doily's that my mom made me. It is so soft and lacy to the touch. I also decided to show some of my heart shaped pieces of jewelry for valentines day. :) The pink jeweled heart was given to me by my daughter in law, CJ. The heart shaped ivory earrings were given to me by my mom. If you look hard enough you can see a heart shaped pendant on a dainty gold chain, it was given to me by my son Jonathan. It has tiny diamonds and a mother holding a baby. It is very sweet.

Show and Tell Friday

This is a photo of a beautiful doily given to me by a dear childhood friend. It has rosettes attatched to the main doily by a beautiful green color. I keep this doily on a shelf next to my bed with a photo of my grandaughter, a small crystal clock and a teabag holder that holds a collection of earrings in it. The doily has given me much pleasure to look at and I hope that you enjoy seeing it.

Winter Fun Day

There were quite a number of ice sculptures. There even was "Buzz Lightyear".

We are huddled together in the "hot tub"!!
My silly sister, Shirlee and I decided to drag our husbands for an afternoon walking around downtown looking at the ice sculptures at the city ice skating park. Needless to say, it was just plain cold. We were able to run into a few shops though to warm up!!!! (you know what that means) :)

Show and Tell Friday

This is my attempt to join the "Show and Tell Friday" blog. I'm hoping that I can follow the directions and get my picture up and all.

This is a picture of a part of my collection of doilies. These doilies have been made mostly my my mom, some by my sister-in-law, some by friends and some by me. I will try and gather up more to show. I have them displayed in a basket that has heart shapes on the end. With our move, I have doilies in different places, so the basket isn't as full as it should be. I will also tell something about each doily as time goes by. I enjoy touching them and looking at them. Some of the doiles have colored beads on them. http://kellishous.blogspot.com/

Visit from the Marlowes

We were blessed this past weekend with a visit from our friends who just adopted a baby boy from Russia. They have two beautiful little girls who are so good with their new addition to the family. I feel real bad that I didn't take any photos while they were here. I'm such a photo maniac and can't believe that I didn't get a photo. :( You can view their blog enclosed in this blog. I hope it shows up, if not I will be doing an edit. Anyway, little Dima had a good time investigating our place and he blessed us to pieces when he ate!! He made all sorts of loud sounds while eating. We had to talk louder and louder when we were visiting at the table. :) The girls had a good time choosing chocolates from a box for their dessert! It is always good to see the Marlowes and to see them adjusting to the new addition to the family. They are a blessing to us and it is good to see how God has blessed them. God is so good.

I checked out the blog and it didn't show the Marlowe's blog, so here it is: marloweblessings.blogspot.com. I know that you will enjoy it.

Sweetness

My sweet cousin Kathy passed away on Monday evening this past week, Jan 14, 2007. She was 58 years old. Coincidentally, that is the date of our Grandma Buck who passed away years ago. Kathy was in the hospital since just before Christmas and the doctors found out that she had cancer throughout her body and they couldn't do anything for her. We prayed for God's mercy upon her and it was a beautiful thing to see her deal with this in such a peaceful way. The word that describes Kathy to a "T" is SWEETNESS. I was truly blessed to have her as a cousin.
