~girls night at New Moon~

Saw the New Moon movie last night

it was OK...I had lots of fun!
we had treat bags.. vampire blood

my Granddaughter Isabella aka "Bella" was ready to go

and enjoyed every second!

I'm tired this morning only 3 hours of sleep last night.

It was girls night out at the movies

we went to see the midnight showing of New Moon

got there around 9:30pm seated right away

and sat in on all the fun.. yes I am a Twilight fan

I truly have enjoyed the books.

For me it was more then just seeing the movie

it was the anticipation of the movie

it was sharing the fun with my granddaughter Isabella

Just sitting next to a 13 year old who LOVES

everything about Twilight was such a blast!

Oh what fun being

with hundreds of VERY excited Twilight fans..

both young and old like me LOL.

7 sold out midnight movies in our small town of 36,000!
I say yes see the movie but read the book first..

Eclipse comes out June 30, 2009..

can't wait :-}

~My Winter White~

I covered the small square frame above

using tiny old white mother of pearl buttons

some of my white Madonnas

Old white pillows
had these many years..

I made these chair covers and curtains
from dust ruffles I found new for $2.99

I used a vintage popcorn chenille bedspread
for my chair..

I'd like to make a white damask slipcover someday

My sister made this candle for me
using some of my old white buttons

made this Annie doll using
an antique cutter quilt for her dress

and old ticking for her arms & legs

I gave a copy of the photo below to my friend Lolly

her Mother who at the time was in her

70s hand drew

this gorgeous piece

my sister had it framed

and it now hangs in my living room.

I'm amazed at the talent this lovely lady had!

I took this photo of my Granddaughter
Isabella on March 22, 1998

at the time she was watching Barney on TV LOL..

the dress Bella has on belonged to
my Brother-in-laws Grandmother made in 1894

the rocking chair dated 1868

it belonged to my Grandmother

~My Winter White~

is very easy to live with

the fabrics are cotton

just toss in washer/dryer when they need cleaned

I have 9 & a 13 year old grandchildren

and we use this room all the time!

~Can't wait to see New Moon~

I couldn't sleep again..

so I got up about 3:00am

went to my computer

check emails, blogs, and Facebook

family's on Facebook

great way to see what they are up to

if I miss a day of talking with them..

well I see on Facebook that

Daughter #1 got tickets for 6 of us

to see the midnight showing of New Moon..

Yippee!!!!

~what a delightful surprise~

can't wait to thank her!

Daughter #2 tried to get tickets for the first showing

but they were sold out days ago

she's been checking to see if they would open up another showing

looks like they did.

we 2 Daughters, Granddaughter Bella, Me, & 2 friends

are going to see this much anticipated movie at midnight

We can't wait!
I'm reading the book again.. LOL..

~white slipcovered stool~

Today I made this slipcover for my foot stool.. Love the white!
Thinking about having a "White Christmas" this year...
looks like I better get busy..
Hugs to you sweet friends!
