Last looks

A visit to see children and grandchildren Friday in Maryland.

Nice pretty drive over the water and few views of Chesapeake Bay taken from Potomac River bridge.  

On way to our destination to a  

lovely neighborhood with a couple beaches and lake.

We enjoyed our trip to Lusby Md. 

 One of the two beaches in their area neighborhood that we walked and found a few shells

Cannot travel any farther on this road because of the cliffs and erosion.  There are homes atop the cliffs. 

Back home and some pictures before I take all down.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

Welcome 2024!

Happy Rainy Saturday

At our local library,  A little get together class to make ornaments out of old Christmas cards.

It was fun. A little table set up with Christmas cookies to snack on while chatting and creating.

Here are mine.

A pointed petal shaped pattern was traced on the card then cut out.

Circles cut from Styrofoam plate and glued to card shape to give it lift. Not looking so flat. 

I used three for mine    There were Yō Yos to sew a button to and then hot glue or in my case with my granddaughter there we used glue dots.  

Pattern shape and this is the back of my finished ornament

In-between is a circle cut from a Styrofoam plate to keep the layers separated.  More 3d.  

Here is mine

A little hole punched and then hung from tree or garland.  I may use a couple of mine for gift wrapping.

 Almost finished decorating my tree.  Working outside and inside is not too great the past few days because it is getting colder.  I want everything done by Saturday.

Almost finished my tree here

One more season of use for these old bows.  Adding a glitter pick  and little shiny ornaments sets it off.

I have paper on the inside door to show wreath up. 

blueberry muffins, so easy to make.  self-rising flour, sugar, butter oil egg and I have a sprinkling of sugar on top

Riding through the town are some nice decorations.  Some have started putting them up.
