Today I looked out at the hummingbird feeder

and saw like 8-10 hummingbirds fighting over the feeder. I grabbed my camera and I went outside hoping to capture all of these birds at once around the feeder but never got the shot I wanted. I did take these pretty good action shots :).

And Ladybug turns 9 ...

Here's the birthday girl looking like she has an "attitude" at age 9. What do YOU think???? LOL

Grandma Thacker turns 85

Here is a photo of Charlie's mom and her grandchildren. Josh is missing from the photo, he was in Asheville for the day. We had a great day and the weather was wonderful. It was in the low 80's which is nice for the end of July.

I can't believe its Friday already

Where has this week gone? Charlie's mom comes tomorrow from VA for the week. She has a big birthday tomorrow - 85 years young. Charlie's brother Aubrey also has a birthday tomorrow - 65 years young. We have the whole family coming over for a cookout and we will just hang out for the day. Looking forward to it!!

Look what I found at Hobby Lobby today ...

The Bind-It-All. This came out the beginning of last year (I think) and I refused to buy it. What was I going to do with it? Did I need one? Nah, I did not give in and get one ... until today, that is. I had a 40% off coupon so yes, I gave in today. Here is what it looks like. I can make all kinds of cute books with it.

More deer in our front yard

This one was pretty close this time!!

Yesterday Ellie & I went to Lexington

and we spent the day with Michelle. We got to see Michelle's new grandbaby who is just 3 weeks old. She was so tiny and had a head full of dark hair. Were my now teenagers ever that small? She was sooooo cute and did I mention how tiny she was? LOL We went out for barbeque for lunch, then went back to Michelle's house to stamp. Yes Michelle is a stamper too. I worked on my all purple ATC's and a few Halloween images. Yes, I am already thinking Halloween. Michelle has this scrapbook store behind her house and it was FULL of pretty papers, neat stamps and every embellishment you could imagine. Ellie & I had fun shopping right there and we both managed to spend some $$. You can visit her website here if you want to check out what she has. We had a great day and I can't wait to do it again.
