More Party Pics

Cleaning the house for the party, I asked my dearest to put the toys up on our bed.  Instead of a toss, he lovingly put them to bed.  Dear Lord, I love that man! (Left to right, Clarence, Baby, Cindy, Wish Bear, Honey and Friend Bear, all our children's cherished toys except Clarence...he's mine!)

Hung this pennant banner from the Hob Lob.  Made of felt and really nicely done.  Can it replace the Carebear plastic sign that traditionally decorates the house on some one's birthday?  Oh yeah!

 This giant butterfly kite was a perfect pop of color on the green bush.  Monarchs are my all time favorite.

This was my 300th post!  Thanks so very much for coming to visit, and your kind comments.  My sweet followers, thank you so much.  I love sharing here, and appreciate and love the friends I've made.  My blog is a part of me now, and I love to write and photograph for it.  Thanks to the girls that inspired me in the beginning, and all the great blogs that inspire me everyday.  Well, that's the story.  Back to my regularly scheduled life, and the business of home, right here in English Valley.  Enjoy this beautiful day!
