Good morning, crafty friends!
I'm setting this blog post up before I head to bed so I can link up at a decent hour.
Here's the desk:
Pretty bare. The tag was on my blog yesterday and my YouTube channel. I used remnants of my Winter's Veil paper pack to make a tag w/ a pocket.
In the background you can just make out a die and some red 'circles' - to the left of a snowflake punch out. Those will be hole reinforcers for the December Daily album from last year I'm trying to finish up using a digital from Tina at Scrappydabbydoodah.
Not really exciting, eh? LOL
I did promise you a picture of how I cool off in the hot weather -
This is a 6' by 2.5' depth stock tank - yes, for watering horses and cattle. LOL Works great for just the two of us. It's situated in the corner of the house where my office connects. Nice and private. Gets full afternoon sun so heats up pretty quick. I like evening soaks and look at the stars.
On our 25 acres (24 of it is timber bordering the Mark Twain National Forest) we have quite a bit of wildlife. While we know there are turkey's, in the 20 years we've lived here we've never seen more than one or two at a time.
a mama hen and SIX young ones.
This next picture features a couple of deer that come through frequently. If I'm not mistaken the mamma in this picture is one I was treated to seeing minutes after she was born courtesy of a mamma and grandma deer. Both of those have since been added to a hunter's freezer but this baby has grown up to be a mom of her own. The baby is the one lagging behind. From the time this baby was still wearing spots, she's always lagging behind. LOL
Oh yeah, and the guard kitty - Fluffy napping through the whole experience. He is the Ginger MaineCoon/ Ragdoll cat that comes and goes as he pleases. He stays with us for several weeks then wanders off and is gone anywhere from two weeks to a month then he comes back eating like he'd not eaten the whole time he was gone LOL.
We think he was mistreated by a man. He's still shy of Bob sometimes. Took me almost 8 months to get him comfy with me. Over 2 years later and he's still wary of Bob.
That's it for my desk (and story)
this week. Who's Miss Sarah and why am I here?
When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Sarah’sCraft Shed for all the details. Miss Sarah has a long list of other studios you
can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We
open the doors wide and welcome you.
Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.
Creative Blessings!
