Sorry! 

Sorry I have not been productive lately and have not been very good about blogging. 
I have been doing a pretty good job tho about the de-cluttering tho!!  Have found a great use for the clothes I no longer wear or want - I am going to recycle them into rugs...I found 2 different "how to" books while cleaning that I had bought years ago.  Both rug making books use 2" strips of fabric - so I am going to start having Mr B cut up our old clothes into 2" strips for rug making 101!!  Recycling our old jeans as well - going to make patchwork quilt for the cover of my window seats in our cabin.  I want to use jeans from all the grandkids for the fabric.

I have really cute pics to show of the rugs -  but for whatever reason my silly ol' computer will not allow me to add the pics on here! ugh!  Maybe another day!

I also found a real cool idea for old magazines and books - the pages can be folded and cut into the cutest flowers!  AND since I am not able to show pictures I can share where I found the idea and that was in my favorite all time magazine- Mary Janes Farm Girl - check it out http://www.maryjanesfarm.com/

If you could be anything in the world what would you be?  .........................................

I often wonder where I would be in this world if I had chosen the one thing I wanted to do many many years ago - (FYI - I would be me ....)  The one thing I wanted the most when I was younger was to be a mom - and the second was an artist and dancer!!  Family - - - STOP laughing!  Many of you know I already love art and I think I am pretty good.  But I am pretty sure NONE of you knew I wanted to be a dancer.  I would watch old black and whites of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire - Gene Kelly (whom I happen to be named after) - and thought - "I can do that" and I would secretly dance in my room - thank God it was not in public!  I am NOT and never will be a dancer - can not dance at all.  HORRIBLE!  So I thought I would encourage my beautiful little daughter to become a dancer. 

OH!  Do I so wish I had the capablity to put a picture up today!  She was so stinkin' cute!  She went every week - twirled, tapped, mastered the heel toe tap thing - and - hated every minute of it! ugh! No dancer - BUT WAIT - there is my very athletic little boy - surely he would make a good dancer.  Let's enroll him into dance class.  Would be great - he could be another Gene Kelly!  So off to dance class we go - got him thru the first session and all was good - even got him thru to the recital - and then he announced that dance class was "lame"!  Back to the drawing board...and thank GOD for granddaughters!!!  Got a dancer - until she discovered softball....oh my!

Have a good day - hope this finds you all well.... do something - anything that is good for the earth and good for someone today.

CARRY ON.....
