details that make things fun....

Jeanee and I both love details like ribbons and small surprises that make things lovely.  She is a whirlwind and I'm a tiny dust-devil.  She goes like a house afire.  I snail along.  In spite of all that we are on the same page.  She was born a peace maker and is joyful.  I'm loving our time together.

Boards she hauled from Homer.  Previously cut on Terry's sawmill by he, Kip and Greg.  Part of our old abandoned house.  Maybe chicken coop?  She is going to attach our Alaskan flag to nail-filled 2x4.  Terry has been teased to death for his use of to many nails!  It's a family inside joke!  Using other boards to make a family reunion sign.  This will be hung in our condo.  on the balcony rail in the loft bedroom.  Will be seen when you walk in. We will use it each year.  We always have the flag and in the past have used a sheet with a lot of data on it.  This will be a memory maker for our children.

We have a Christmas celebration and even haul our tree that we put on our porch each year.  I'm thinking it's getting a little worse for wear but we will use it again.  Jeanee decided to make an ornament for each family member.  she sprayed glue on her project in that little box and then made a great ornament.  These will either be hung on the tree as decorations or on a string.  In our long ago family Christmases we decorated ornaments and then made one for each family member.  It was so much fun.  this will be similar.  Each family member will draw a name and they will write on their ornament to that person.  It will be a fun souvenir!

Here is my darling Worker Bee.  Beeing filmed by the Queen Bee.  (Note the line of care package items being collected and all in a row!  that project is just beginning!)  She is rolling each family's T-shirts, tying with a yellow gingham bow, then tying a red bow attached to the family crest, names are written on back and she always puts hearts.  Love oozes from this girl!  Each family will be given this bundle the night before the family photo shoot.  Held in reserve until then or they will be lost or a mess so she will protect them!
