Fun at the Craft Show......


Okay, my first craft show is behind me!! I must say, it was quite an experience, it was fun, met some great people...and I was exhausted at the end of the day!!

The "Cow Turd Sculptures" were a hit...everyone loved them and the sponsers told me I was the "talk of the show" before I even got there! Unfortunately, due to being late signing up for the show, my "booth" was located in one of the halls at the high school, which was not the best place I could have been. BUT, I had people coming up to my booth saying they heard about me in the atrium and cafeteria area and had to come find my booth!!

Also met a really nice lady who had the booth next to me and made beautiful jewelry! It was a pleasure being next to someone that was so much fun and we were able to help each other out, too! Next year we are thinking about getting a bigger booth together and seeing if we can get moved to a better area! I sure hope so! My mom, with her wonderful sense of humor, stated that she thought those gorgeous necklaces would accent those poop sculptures beautifully!!

Since I am constantly keeping a supply, we still have "Cow Turd Sculptures" available for Christmas for that special friend, loved one, co-worker or boss!

No...the ranch survived the weather!!

I apologize to all....no, we were not "frozen" in with power lines down and no electricity to turn on my computer! Time has flown by quickly...too quickly as a matter of fact!

I have been in the process of getting my Turd Sculptures ready for a craft show that I will be participating in this Saturday! I'm so excited, but a little nervous at the same time! This will be the first craft show I've done and there has been tons to do and try to remember!

Tables (and the table covering must go down to the floor)..boxes to put the sculptures in, tissue paper, signs, etc, etc....and that doesn't include the "putting together" of all the sculptures! You should see my table...it is covered from one side to the other with piles of "poop"!! LOL Luckily we sit at the "island" to eat so I don't have to keep moving things around and destroying my "system"!

Soo, as you can see, it has been a busy last few days...and I have not meant to ignore any of you who enjoy reading this blog!!

Will keep you updated on how the craft show goes!

All of you remember to keep smiling and laughing....

Did I say snow and sleet....??

HAPPY DECEMBER 1ST EVERYONE!!!

Well, I must say, the last day of November went out with a "bang" here at the ranch....a COLD bang that is!! Sleet, snow and heavy winds!!! Although the temp didn't get above freezing, and hovered around the 20's and teens, the wind was the worst!! Sometimes looking out the wind was blowing so hard I almost thought I saw white tumbleweeds rolling across the pasture...of course, it was only tufts of snow and ice but it was quite a sight!!

The cows, horse and mule came out from their "hiding spot" being the tank damn and trees to eat lunch....


Of course, the Queen Bee, "Sierra" always helps feed and "watches" so the cows don't get into the horses food...


Today, however, promises to be a better and much prettier day! No howling wind, and stepping outside the sun is shining brightly on the ice and snow that fell...making everything look like a crystal palace! The beauty of the snow and ice will disappear later today, we will be getting into the high 40's and the sun, as I am writing, is melting away yesterdays "news" like Frosty the Snowman in summer!!

What a beautiful December 1st day!!! Always remember: " Laughter is but a frown turned upside down"!!

The QB resting after her hard day of snow and ice......LOL
