Well I am not great at this blogging thing.  Olga urged me to be more active.  So here it is.  My last post before today showed a picture of an inspiration box I made for my daughter.  I entered it into a contest on Crop  Chocolate and unbelievably I won a new Pink Slice.  I was so excited . . . you see I never win anything.  By the way - everyone should visit Crop Chocolate, they have great crafting supplies really cheap and they also have weekly contests.

Well on to more current events.  Each year my family tries to go to the Wizard of Oz - it is a great day trip for us and we all enjoy it very much.  Even though my children are older, they enjoy the hike, the characters and just letting our hair down.  Above is picture board I made recently of each of my children with their favorite character the Scarecrow.  I always love these pictures each year.  I have a lot of them, great way to watch my children grow.  Oz is only open one weekend each year and that would be the first weekend in October.  So these characters are local volunteers, but they sure do get into character and have so much fun with the visitors.  I can't wait to hang this on my wall . . . it makes me smile every time i see it . . . just remembering the fun times with my family traveling down the yellow brick road . . . . .
