Not a lot going on in my world right now…rather quiet and that’s perfectly okay.
Sometimes I have so much going on it overwhelms me.
I have been taking time to finish up my existing orders and then it’s designing time. Yeah….can’t wait to have the time to create.
Oh I have to tell you – I was asked by Patti Leitzel from Porch Sitting Time and Brickhouse Crafts Primitives in Millersburg, PA to carry my products.
She received a large box of them on Thursday and replied back that she loved them…THANK YOU PATTI…good luck selling.
Thursday was a play day here…we had our youngest grandson Aidan and Emily and Joe…it was one loud and busy day to put it mildly…Aidan did nothing but run, jump, play and laugh – but that is GOOD…never seen that little guy cry!
So I will leave you with just a few photos…nothing else to report on.
Naturally at almost 4 years old they have to be their own person…remember last weeks post?? So he walks in with his Camo coat and sunglasses
Before they went outside to play they did some ‘food prep’ play – Aidan was the grill master. Notice the gloves? This is another one of his ‘THINGS’ of late. He wears his brown gloves whenever he can (he’s such a silly fun boy)
The two rooms were a total mess but at least they were playing…not whining about what to do.
We had lunch and then went outside for some fresh air and bike and scooter riding.
So there was our Thursday…full of fun and laughs the whole day.
Aidan got a hold of my camera and took lots of pictures…this one is a fun one – Emily and I decided to do some cheesy smiles for him…he’s always say ‘say cheese’ even if he’s getting his picture taken.
Emily and I were going to plan a luncheon for her 8th grade graduation that I’m giving her and a few of her friends that are graduating with her in June…but there was just no quiet time available. Next time…then I’ll share with you what we came up with. 
He got one of Lola but I think he had the zoom on so you can see it’s very blurry
And then the ‘hmmmm’ shot of gram – with his finger over the lens – which was most of the time.
And his play grill…he sure does make me giggle
Has anyone found a good on-line photo program? Picnik is not going to be anymore after the end of April and I will miss it so much for the collage feature it has – especially for our blog headers.
Have a wonderful weekend and I’ll be seeing you around blog-land

Happy Sunny Saturday Karen, Such a cute post. Don't we just love having our grands around? Even though I only have one granddaughter, I am so loving her at the age of 4. So much fun having tea parties with her. SHE is the reason I just can't seem to get any of my WIP finished. Love the pictures. Have a great weekend

Hi Karen, Yes, I have a new favorite photo editing website called, "PicMonkey"! I love it! Kim
Good Morning Karen! Congratulations on selling your creations at Patti's shop! How exciting! Your grandchildren are Beautiful! Looks like a fun day was had by all! I heard around Blogland that PicMonkey is a good one, but I didn't get the chance to try it myself yet.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Looks like everyone had a great time. Your grandchildren are gorgeous. They must get their looks from their Grandma.
Nothing going on here in VA either.

Karen, aren't grands grand? I know you enjoy having them.
We use Picasa. It has new features that are wonderful.

What a cute boy! I like it that you share pictures of your family. The 'hmmmm' picture is truly amazing (giggles).
Great new profile picture btw.

What a fun time you all had!! Your Aidan is a real trip!!:)He looks like he has quite an imagination--that's a very good thing.He'll be a very creative adult. I saw on The Brickhouse facebook that you had sent some penny rugs--they must have just got them in--they were just gaga over them. Seemed to make quite an impression!! Have a great weekend!!--Jan
Oh I love days like that but I love the quiet times too!!! They are the cutest grands!!!
Hi Karen~

We love it when our boys are here! Love to hear them talk and how they use their imagination. It amazes me what they will come up with.
Have a lovely weekend.

Karen--I am so excited to find your blog AGAIN! I ran across it months ago but lost my link and didn't write it down! So, here I am. I just became a follower and will be looking forward to your posts, as well as updates on your sites! Please visit me sometime at: The Country Farm Home, http://thecountryfarmhome.blogspot.com/
I'd be interested in any comments you might have! Thanks!
Looks like a lot of fun! I had my oldest grandson spend the night last night and got to cook him a big breakfast this morning! He is a teenager now so I don't have as much time with him now as when he was younger,but its still wonderful when i do.
Oh so much fun Karen!!!
Love all the pics ~ wonderful smiles you girls had!!!
I Love spending the day with my Granddaughter!
Everyone is talking about PicMonkey ~ I haven't tried it.

;D What fun...and kids certainly will insure you never have a dull moment. They are beautiful kids, enjoy it while they're at this age. Happy to read the business side of your life is growing...this is always great news, as your work is Amazing.
Enjoy your week.
Hugs,

Sounds like an amazing exciting weekend. Little kids are so fun and full of energy from somewhere:) Congrats on selling in Patti's store. -Steph-
Such fun with the grands! Lucky you!
Pug hugs :)
Lauren
Absolutly adorable pictures!!
Hi Karen,
Love your spring photos! Looks like you were having fun with the grandchildren....What fun! Congrats on you selling your items!
Have a great day!
Yikes....How did I miss this post? (Never mind, I know....) :o Such sweet photos and times Karen - you are so beautiful, and it runs deep and strong in your family line. Congrats on the new association with Patti - I love her store from what I've seen blogwise - if only I could visit in person. And, wow - your season is way ahead of ours - look at those leaves already!! I'm distressed about Picnick too - I only recently found it and hadn't even explored much, but loved the "autofix" feature - and the fact that it didn't "reload" my entire album of pictures like Picasa does. I've heard about PicMonkey - and also iPiccy, but haven't looked into either yet....but, tomorrow's the day when Picnick goes bye-bye, so I guess it'll be sooner rather than later....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
Why wouldn't Patti love your products?? WHO wouldn't, hehe! I wonder how close Patti's store is to where you will be setting up at the craft shows? Do you know? That would be fun to walk into a store and see your handmades!
What a fun day!! Our kids are always cracking us up with the things they come up with. Especially the youngest one. My, he has an imagination, lol. Precious family time, nothing better Karen!
