Hi Everyone!!!!

I can't believe it's been over a month since I've posted...please forgive me for not ringing in the New Year until now!

I have something to share...I TOTALLY ruined my dolls face!!!!! I am heartbroken!!! It was one of those cases where I should have heeded the old words, "if it ain't broke...DON"T fix it"....no, I just had to tone it a little more....wellI totally put her into a different ethnic group!!!

I have an idea...why don't you follow along during her hopeful rehabilitation and we can see her thru it together!!! Wish me luck!!!

*********

I continue to struggle with the "leg" as I work hard on being able to walk again. I'm up on a walker several times a day and do my physical therapy exercises (OUCH!) too. I begin outpatient rehab this week and go forward with trepidation as I know it will be hard...but a "must do" for sure! Keep the "leg" in your Prayers please and wish me luck! It's been a long haul...thank the Lord for my dolls to work on or they'd have to pack me off to the "Funny Farm"!!!

"Now FAITH is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."

Hebrews 11:1

*****

On a better note...how about a sneak peek at a few of my new works in progress that I haven't ruined!

My O'Skullivans aren't new, but their tongues are!!! What do you think?

These are my new Lil' Hoots...I will be using them in a variety of ways...they are about 2.5 inches tall, so you can only imagine how many calories must be in the HUGE Candy corn in the background!!!

And last but not least.... definitely NOT least is Thunder Buns...You will see what I mean...just look!

Well that's "The End" for now! Hope you enjoyed!

Allan graduates! Masters of Science!

Masters in Engineering from CU!!! Just last week we went to Colorado for my eldest son's graduation from Colorado University at Boulder. He now has his Masters in Environmental Engineering. He received his Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from USF where he was the President of Engineers Without Borders.

He has always had an interest in providing sanitary drinking water to those in other countries who have none. His most recent trip took him to Africa for a few months! He had quite the experience!

Congratulations, Allan!!!

My Son Matthew, Birds of Prey!!!

This is a picute of my son,Matthew, who is the Coordinator for Eagle Watch in Florida!

Audubon’s Center for Birds of Prey opened its doors in 1979. Thirty one years later, the Center is the premier raptor rehabilitation facility in the eastern United States. Raptors treated at the Center include hawks, owls, kites, falcons and eagles. In addition to birds of prey, it also cares for vultures, taking every opportunity to educate the public about these very valuable members of the stork family.

Annual patient admissions average 600, with a release rate of 40%. Approximately 10% of admissions annually are Bald Eagles, and the Center is renowned for its eagle care. To date the Center has released 407 eagles back to the wild.

Non-releasable birds may live out their lives at the Center as education ambassadors. Young birds with permanent disabilities are trained to the glove and become “working birds”, traveling to schools, festivals and other events. They interact with over 20,000 people annually.

The Center is located in a suburban neighborhood on Lake Sybelia in Maitland. In addition to over 20 species of raptors and vultures on display, there are educational displays, a butterfly garden, gazebo and wetlands on the lake and Audubon House, a restored 1924 bungalow.
