My Newly Re-organized Craft Room!

Jacob was finaly able to help me a few weeks ago to put together my new computer desk and printer stand and re-arrange my craft room. I spent last week bringing all my supplies back in (kuckily the stamps didn't have to be removed, That bookcase was the only thing that stayed in it's original space. Here are some pics of my new room. You can actually see the floor now.

My 2 Bonnye Annes!

I am now in a special red hat group called "Sock Monkey Sisterhood". Yep, you read it right Sock Monkey! We have a blast even though much of it is online on our private FB page and the individual group get-togethers of the different groups all over. The ladies in this group live all over, a few of which include 6 of us here in VA (my group), to some in the states of Washington, LA, TX, Ohio and Maryland as well as other states. We have a blast. It started with sock monkeys, but any monkey is allowed. We name them dress them, have them talking online and make up stories about things they do. We take them with us to red hat events. We are in our second childhood (that is, it we ever left our first - LOL!) Mine, of course, had to meet Bonnye Anne. So I took a few with me when I went down and got her picture with them when she was born and the last time I went down in Aug. I have done some trading with one SMS friend from Washington state and she made the purple and red crocheted outfit for me in trade for some stamping supplies. She also sent me several dragons to add to my dragon collection and I was to pick on to give to Bonnye Anne.

 Taken on 8/18/12. Love that sweet smile!

Above her are: Jo-Jo, Ziggy and Rosie

In front of her are Lizzy & Giggles, the brown one has not yet been named.

One of my other new friends, Kathy Menz makes individual baby monkeys each with a unique face and this is one she made and gave to me in trade, so that I would always have a Bonnye Anne with me (can you figure out what I named her - LOL!) So here I am with both of my Bonnye Annes.

Time with Loved Ones

We got to go down and visit with Jacob, Karli and Bonnye Anne this weekend. Had so much fun just snuggling with Bonnye Anne. Had forgotten how much fun and soothing it is to snuggle with a baby. It did bring back a lot of memories of snuggling with the boys when they were little!

SHE'S HERE, SHE'S FINALLY HERE!!!!

Well, we will definitely be having to set off or go see fireworks on July 4th from now on. Our precious Bonnye Anne Ferenz was born today at 12:34am. She weighed 7 lbs. 9 ozs., 21.5 inches and is the most beautiful baby in the world (no partialism there, just stating a fact - LOL!) She is perfect and we are soooo happy she is finally here.

 The sweetest face on earth!

 Karli, Jacob and the pride of their life - Bonnye Anne

 Happy, happy Grandma!
 

Proud Grandpa - She already has him wrapped around her little finger - LOL!

My New Great-Niece - Bonnye Risa Russell

Well, in NC waiting for my darling granddaughter, Bonnye Anne to be born (due on the 23rd) and my niece, Risa goes and has her little girl (due July 7th), on June 28th, also a new Bonnye. Bonnye Risa, 7 lbs. 19.5"



Bonnye Risa Russell

Yes, you read right. We will have two Bonnyes. The family has been waiting since 1990 when we lost my SIL, Bonnye Jean Ferenz-Alvarez, for someone to have a girl and name her Bonnye and we got 2 at the same time. We are definitely okay with that - LOL!

Memorial Weekend Visit with Jacob & Karli
