Happy April! sorry for my absence but sometimes life has a way of getting in the way of my scrapping fun. LOL We have been extremely busy with getting this place organized somewhat! DH, DS & i moved out an old upright piano, WHAT A BACKBREAKER!! lol When we moved here, almost 4 years ago, we found an old piano, pool table, entertainment center and car ALL left behind and left on this property for the new tenant or the landlord to deal with. WELL, we got it all LOL and although the piano was in despereate need of a tuning, i still tried to LEARN on it! IMPOSSIBLE to do when it has dead keys on top of alll the out of tune ones! lol so there it sat for about 3 more years until this weekend!! DH bought me a sweet china hutch that is going in the piano's place! WOOHOO! the reason for the hutch, is because we bought my first set of REAL china about a year or two ago and i have NEVER had a place to put them! lol so i do NOW!!! well, as soon as it gets delivered, i will! LOL i can hardly wait! my china is white and green patterned and my new hutch is off white with light green trim! PERFECT! lol funny how patience pays off! lol We even offered the men who will deliver my new hutch, the old piano, FREE and they about told me what i could do with my piano LOL so i am really NOT sure what we can do with it yet! Anyone want it? ROFL YOU pay shipping! lol ok well, maybe that is not an option either!! lol
i hope April is being kind to you! For some, i know it is raining cats & dogs, for days on end! (Sorry sis but it will bring BEAUTIFUL flowers!!)
Does everyone know who Mrs. Butterworth is? The lady bottle of pancake syrup?!! well, check this out, she got a makeover! lol
someone did a FANTASTIC job painting them!! Even giving two of them a collar brooch! lol i couldn't resist them! All three for a dollar and i was told the guy, i guess who did the painting, was asking like $65.00 for the set! crazy!!
i have soo much more to do yet today but i will leave you with some desert pictures i took this weekend!

thanks for hitting my blog today!
nice to know someone still reads it!
Congratulations, thats wonderful - you will have to show us your new china hutch it sounds wonderful :)
Sorry - I dont play the piano either, can always put an ad in the penny saver??? or use it for firewood next winter as last resort, but ya hate to do that as those pianos are great if working.
The desert flowers are gorgeous (Until the butterfles eat them and they end up on your windshield, and yuck - what a job gettin them off) Beautiful photos tho. Hope you have a wonderful week - Big Hugs!
Wow - you're very busy 'spring cleaning' Shirley - way to go. It happens when spring rolls around, almost that irresistable pull to revamp our nests. Do you suppose we take hidden cues from all the birds collecting for their nests?
Thank you for the picture of your desert blooms - on Miles and I 'to do' wish list, is to go to Death Valley on a spring break...
Thanks for sharing and your encouragement, you are a wonderful friend.
