Sorry for my absence lately -- I've been BUSY, and haven't had any extra time for crafting. It also doesn't help that my craft table is in SERIOUS need of attention. It's piled HIGH with bits and pieces of projects, magazines, books, and a few things I've started collecting for the holidays. I'm sure my stamp table is under there somewhere, but it's going to be a chore finding it. It is, however, on my list of things to do this weekend! I've also been busy illustrating, and you know when I'm in illustration mode, there's little time for anything else. *grin*
I'm also up to my ears with farm chores. With all the rain we've had, things are needing a bit more attention. Today, Alan is picking up a few bales of hay for the little bull calves we've isolated from their mamas. The plan is for them to go to their new home next weekend. Truman (our little donkey) might get to go to his new home next weekend, too! Hopefully the weather cooperates (and the mud dries up) so we can actually move the critters! The boys are LOVING their off-mama feed and getting so big! I'll try and get some photos today...the sun is shining, so it will be a good day for some snapshots. The to-do list just keeps getting longer and longer, doesn't it?
Alan is picking up a few bales of wood chips for the chicken house as well! It's time to clean out the coop, switch out their chip litter, and spruce up the nest boxes with fresh chips. The rain creates so much sticky mud that gets tracked into the coop, and I like to keep things nice and tidy! The girls are also tipping over two of the nest boxes (I use apple picking baskets), so I've got to do a little rearranging to help keep things in place.
As if that isn't enough to do in a weekend, I'm also having a 25% off sale in the shop this weekend -- time to make room for new goodies!
Hope you're all having a fine and dandy day!
Toodles!
I love the wonderful pictures, Anna! I would have a hard time parting with all those farm babies. I bet you do, too!

My goodness you are busy. I just hopped over to you SALE and lightened you inventory some! :)
I suppose when it comes it will wind up on my work table and burry it ever deeper. Such a mess. But it won't get cleared this weekend.
Since it is not raining here I have things to get done in yard then clean house for company tomorrow!
Hugs...
