January





We started the month of January celebrating Ellen's birthday! She is 22 now! Hard to believe...

Mom and Tom got a dog!!!! They adopted him from the Madison Rescue League...where they were told that his name was Teddy, but he didn't seem to recognize that name so they changed it to Senator!! Which I think is much more appropriate!

Ashton and I took a painting class at Easely Amused with Susan and Nicole! It was a Pet Picasso class... where you paint your pet Picasso style. We had tons of fun and love our painting! Don't you think they look just like Lulu and Kudzu?!

The kids are back at college and I'm home along again! What a weird feeling... I've been busy trying to get my booth at the antique mall freshened up and get my Etsy shop up and running! Mark has been traveling alot, but we did manage to have a relaxing weekend in Port Gibson. We went on a day trip to Monroe, La and did some Junkin! I found several treasures that I am keeping, of course, and a few that I will eventually put in my booth. I got the cutest little typewriter that I paid $15.00 for and then had to spend $20.00 to get a ribbon! I also found a sideboard that we are using for a cabinet under our flat screen that we hung on the wall.Love it! It has great storage for all of the components that go along with a t.v. and also for scrapbooks! We still have to attach the thing that covers all the wires, but it takes us a while to finish projects like that! I've been to a couple of estate sale, but nothing really spectacular. I put our t.v. cabinet that use to be in our den in my booth at the antique mall, so if anyone is looking for one, go check it out! The Antique Mall of the South, Hwy 51, Ridgeland. It's black with some painting on it and has TONS of storage. It has doors, so you can hide your stuff away! I've marked it down drastically so that I can move more stuff in my booth!!
Tell your friends, and don't forget to visit my Etsy shop just click on the picture of Nola ( the blue bust with the hat on ) and she will take you right there!!

I know its been hard trying to find one day for you and me and carol to get together, I guess it would be a nightmare to try to find a way for us to go to Port Gibson. I want to go to Monroe and find some cool stuff too!
