This was posted on one of my other blogs first…

While I have been away, things have been happening! Managed to make some new cards for the teachers as summer presents this year. Need to make a couple more and then I’ll post a couple pics on my business site.

Got one kid promoted from one school yesterday, here is a pic of stidmatt with stidgmere afterwards. Isn’t he handsome!

Here for your enjoyment are some pretty sights from the front door… and a reminder that I am not maintaining this blog very frequently now that stidmama.com is up and running.

Well, my Babble friend, Ciocia Judy (that’s pronounced chuh-chuh) and I met up on June 16 for a day of non-stop talking and touristing. From noon to eight, we talked, ate (lunch and supper bookended our visit), strolled and enjoyed the day. My stidfamily came along too for part of the day, and we had a wonderful time. Here, in pictures, is our journey:

A couple of other pics can be seen at my frappr page.

We had such a great time!

And don’t forget to listen to the babblecast…

Militant Playtpus has a cool post with a video that shows how marbles of all kinds are made.

My mother gave me a wonderful glass marble a few years back. Now I know how it’s done!

Thanks again, Mother.
