Where did last week go?
Boy I missed a few..... ok more like 5 days last week...
they came and went before I knew it!
I have to tell you, I was a busy lil bee!
So much to do... so far behind....
There never seems to be enough time in a day lately!
What did I do you ask....
Hmmm where to start...... The rain stopped for awhile on saturday
so I got the tractor out and got the lawn cut...
I had not cut it in months... it was basically dead from no rain!
We have 10 acres of grass so that was an all day job! 
I had so many peaches... they were comin out my ears...
With all those peaches I made Peach butter.. oh no not just any Peach Butter,
this was Amaretto Peach butter!
Peach butter with a twist of sweet cherry!
~~~ ohhh sooooo YUMMY~~~
I also made a peach cobbler... sorry no pictures we gobbled that up real quick!
Today I think I will make a peach pie!
I also got some swap stuff finished and mailed out!
Above are my 2 creations for the Art Doll swap....
Maria said she was into mermaids and fairies so I created one of each for her!
These were very fun to make!
This is the Tussie Mussie I made for Jeanne.
I had so much fun with this swap!
Jeanne and I have the same tastes so it was easy to create for her!
The cone is made from analglypta wallpaper that I painted PINK and trimmed in vintage lace, crepe paper, buttons, silk ribbon, vintage rick rack and the sweetetst lil girl with a floppy bonnet on!
I have been making these cute lil dress cards for awhile now
so I knew I had to make some for Ele for our Christmas card & Tags swap!
These are sooo darn cute... if I say so myself! ;-)
I hope Ele likes them too!
Nope these are not your traditional christmas tags...
these were created just for Ele!
She loves vintage ~shabby~ beachy~ chic...
no red and white jolly old cartoony santa here!
Don't you love them!
I still have to finish up and take pictures of the vintage kitchen goodies I made for Mica and the cotton n candy goodies I made for Shannon!
Oh and a sweet friend of mine is haveing a birthday so I made her alil something to make her smile... I will share those with you soon!
Happy Birthday Miss Connie!
Take care,
Hugz & Blessings, Dolly

Adore those gorgeous tags!
Yes, Dolly! I loved the cherry socks, but was worried you were still under that throw and in your chair! It's hot again here. Leave it to Michigan weather to throw you for a loop.
Love your tags...you are getting so good at that!
Aren't peaches just the BEST this time of year. Think I'll go whip up some cobbler, too.

Hello Dolly. Now that sounds a bit odd, where have I heard that before. Unintentional, I assure you. You are the Dolly Shannon always speaks of (I'm Mum). Love your blog, love your tags, love peaches too. So pleased to meet you.

Hi Dolly, thanks for commenting on my blog. This is too funny. I live in Shelby Township, but we have a cottage at Forest Lake in Alger, MI (exit 202 on I-75 - the Rose City/Alger Exit). Gladwin is very, very close to our cottage. We've had this cottage now for 8 years. My hubby and I built it ourselves!! This is where we are right now enjoy our family and friends.
Good to hear from another Michigander - - I'll be checking your blog freqently too!
I'm going to try your soup too!!
Blessings!
The tags are lovely and I am so jealous of all the peaches.
