I have a good friend down in Missouri, She called yesterday with a request for a sympathy card...Yes she is a paper crafter too...but this was for a special young girl and she wanted many to go out to her..
I usually struggle with sympathy cards, but this one went together nicely...not sure why, maybe because I did not know the person It would go to. What ever the reason, I liked it and thought I'd share it with you. I used a retired color from SU named Blue Bayou, and SU ink, Soft Sky , it is retired too...the lighter color is from a K&Co mat pack, and it is lightly textured.
I dressed it up a bit with pearl dew drops and then I used the ticket corner punch for a different edge... The design was one I copied down yesterday from "some where" sorry I do not remember where ..
Thanks for stopping in ,
and I hope you enjoyed your visit to MY FRONT PORCH

And back to my grand children... # 3 of Krista's children is Dustin, he is 6 and in his second year of T Ball...At this age it is so hard for them to really pay attention for very long. But I have to tell you, that they are so much fun...there is always some thing to make us a smile, if not totally crack up laughing. They forget to run after they hit the ball, or run the wrong way; or the are playing in the dirt in the out field in stead of catching the ball, or they might just visit with their friends !... but it is too funny !... They look so cute in their uniforms, and know they need a Gatorade...
I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures...I know they sure give me a lot of pleasure each time I look at them...

Here are a couple of pictures of my grandsons...It was Fathers Day of this year , we met up with both of our daughters for ice cream... Can you tell there is a little rivalry with these little guys?? Daisy is always included in more ways than one...LOL

and then a picture of Wally with his girls...And one with Krista's children...

And next will be my oldest grandson Cody... This is his second year in the actual Pee Wee Ball league. He played
T Ball before. This year he is playing catcher position for the first time, as well as a few other positions in the field... I think he wants to learn to pitch... His dad Keith, bought him a bucket of balls and is working with him. He is learning a lot and doing a great job too ! He loves to play, and can "smack" a ball as he would say !
: )

We enjoy watching him, but his games are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and those are not easy nights for us to get away... : ( We are proud of Cody, and we think he is doing great ! Good Luck Cody, Keep up the good work... Grandma Soni and Grandpa Wally love you...

Did I mention just how handsome he is ??

Summer means time to play BALL...
well for three of our grandchildren anyway...
Ali has played since she was 5, I think... She started in T Ball and has continued on to girls softball and is now 12 years old.
And she now loves it even more. She is an awesome pitcher, but enjoys playing third base too, she is a good hitter and loves to show the other team what she is capable of... and has a great deal of team support in her... These pictures show her enjoying it all.Yes we are proud grandparents...We try to go watch as often as we can...which is just not enough...It was easier when it was only her, but now both of her younger brothers play as well.Ali has 2 games a week. Cody has 2 games a week and Dustin is happy with his 1 game a week...

Wow, June is half over already...I hope to post some pictures from my grand childrens ball games soon, but for today I have another project to share from OUR GIRLS NIGHT OUT .

Each section has a different design of a birdhouse painted, and it has a lot of Red White and Blue...so it could be used for the 4 th of July... I thought as either a silver ware holder or sugar packets. Some will plant small flowers in it, or use it as a little catch all ...

This was an easy project... :)
I think it is cute...
Thanks for looking and I hope to see you back soon...
