Treasure Boxes....

Last year I had the pleasure of finding Jan McGraw of the http://ladybugcreations.com/index.htm web site and instantly knew I wanted to help her and her project.

She has a program that she started to paint or make Treasure Boxes for the Shriner Children's Hospital.

I have painted several and plan to do some more this year. If you get a chance go to her treasure box link and check it out.

You don't have to just paint them. I have seen some really cute ones that card makers, scrap booker and paper artist have made. Also Jan has some really cute patterns to use that are free but only to use on the boxes.

I know these are really important to the little one who are in the hospital and can use these to save all of their little treasures like cards little toys and other items in. They are the right size to slip in the table drawer.

Here are a few that I painted, over the year.....

Please check it out and if you are led to contact Jan on her website to find out what to do.

Hope you have a blessed day.

Last week I chose pictures of my oldest Grandson, This week I have chosen my favorite picture of my youngest Grandson, Connor, he is 11 and all boy. He started life on a little shaky ground, his Mom, had toxemia and they had to do emergency surgery 3 weeks early, plus, Connor was breech...lol...he was ready to hit the ground running and hadn't stop yet...he started out at a mere 5 lbs, but time he was 4 mos old his nickname was Buddha Baby ..lol..he filled out real fast. Here are a few things he loves....and pictures I love...

He was our little happy redhead....

He loves his Jeep...his Daddy found on old WWII jeep and restored it and it will be his when he's old enough to drive.

He loved corn,

He loves helping his Bobby feed the Chickens

He still loves the chickens and gathering eggs

He loves is Bobby and Bobby's old truck

He loves his little Sister

He loves to ride Horses

He loves baseball

He loves his big bull frog that hangs out near their pool, he has always loved running and catching frogs.

He loves to fish, he won the Fishing Rodeo 2 yrs in a row....

He loves hunting with his Dad and then getting on the phone and bragging to his Cousin Keifer that he got the first Buck of the year.

He loves his video games, his WII and his Computer

And he really loves his Jasper...

He is so sweet and is a true Southern country boy, he has that slow country southern drawl and can spin a yarn a mile long. His 1, 2 and 3 grade teachers all wanted to take him home with them so he could tell them his stories...lol..they spent half of the class time listening to him talk and tell his tales, and beleive me he could tell some good ones. He used to tell us he remembered when he was old, along, long time ago...but he stoped talking about that when he was about 3 .....makes you wonder? He is also what you would call and old soul, he can't stand change. When they bought their new car he wanted the old one back.

I hope you enjoyed my little picture story about Connor and the things he loves. And things that make me love him so much.
