Welcome

I am starting a new blog because I want to share new adventures I am starting. I am taking my lead on this from a couple of people. One is my sister's daughter in law who has a blog called Cookie and Claire where she has shown how to's on many crafts she makes and she makes some cute stuff. (she has the cutest model for her stuff as well.) Second from my sister and her husband from their blog about their many travels they have made. (5 weeks to Europe). This is a great way to show some fun things and keep people updated on what you do.

A little history about me I am a high school art teacher, a wife, sister, daughter, mother, and grandmother. I have 8 grandchildren 2 girls and 5 boys. They are all the most precious grandchildren in the world.  is a picture of my children and some of my grandchildren. Since this picture was taken there have been two added and my other granddaughter was not able to be in the picture.

These are pictures of the two new additions to the family. See I told you my grandchildren are precious.

Now on with the blog. The first thing I want to share is a gift I made for two of my grandchildren's teachers. They are bags made from old blue jeans. I really had fun making these and they were so easy. I plan to make some more from bigger jeans. These could be great graduation gifts. Here is a picture of the jean bags that I made.

I am starting a painting class very soon and I will post my accomplishments when they are done (I hope!). Have a great day.
