I've been having fun making these...
for swaps!:) (This swap is going to Katie's partner in Denise's Halloween Kiddie Swap!)
I am in no way a spider lover, but this guy looks like he is ready for Halloween!:)
Stella is all ready for her trip to visit my friend Kimberly in California, but on her last day with us we had a few more adventures! The girls shared the yummiest desert with Stella! Yep, that's chocolate and peanut butter (and ice cream and whipped topping...).
Stella came to watch Katie at gymnastics...
Stella also met some 1 day old baby ducks! They were just her size.:)
We even took Stella to a garage sale! Lindsay told me that they do not have garage sales in England so we thought we should show Stella so she could tell Lindsay and Jessica all about them. (These ladies at the sale were precious. They were so willing to let us take their picture and they wanted so badly to get the right setting for the picture, too.:) ) We will miss Stella but know that she will have such fun in California!
Hi Lori
ReplyDeleteI love the chalk board you made for the halloween swap. You always have such great ideas. Is the spider real? How big was it? I am glad it was there and not here!!
I enjoyed seeing Stella at the park with those adorable ducks and at the yard sale too. Did she buy anything?!! The desert looks yummy, I hope Stella left some for the rest of you! Thanks for being a great Stella host. I look forward to her next adventure in California.

Hi Lori,
ReplyDeleteI saw your comment about followers-mine is at the very bottom of my page-{You are just fine, and entered!}
{I want a duck!!!}
ReplyDeleteThe book, Best Friends Forever...I liked it, not loved it-
I love the transformation of the small town girl. How she finally took control of herself, and rose above her circumstances-very good.
My favorite book this summer was The Time Traveler's Wife, did you read it? If not-try-it is so different than anything I have ever read before!
Have a great rest of the evening!
I love the things for the swap. It sounds like Stella is having quite the adventure!
ReplyDeleteLori

Take care
Janet
