Hello! Hello! I thought I would post some things tonight while I have the motivation. I have tons of pictures that I have been taking to post about and just have not gotten to this actual blog to post them and talk about the. I am not even sure I will remember everything. So, I gonna try to find those photos and post them and then talk some about them if I can;)
Ha! Ha! Sorry I saw that in my photos and had to add it. This is Poppy one of the three momma sheep we have had since Jan. 1st of this year:-) She is the leader of the pack and is very dog like in her personality.
This sweet momma above is Winnie. She had twins but the first one died....I waited too long on reaching in and pulling the babies out:( Yea, very first lambing for us too, so it was an unforgettable learning experience for sure. You know before they lambed (sheep labor), hubby and I would joke about which one of us would have to stick our hand...I mean arm (lol!) in and pull the babies out cause well we really didn't think it was that common.....hmmm yea, it was me and come to find out it is more of a common practice then we thought!! So, this is Hersey and she is the oldest of the four babies. The very first one born died and the very last one born died. The last one couldn't stand up at all and we stomach tube fed it and it just did not perk back up enough:( Anyways, we got two for the dinner table and two more mommas!
Me and Matthew.
Okay finally some "mail" stuff. These are currently waiting stamps. The four packages are stuffed full of fbs and going to CA, HI, IL, and "CAAAN-NUH-DUUUUH!!!
The top ones are letters. Well, one is for a swap that I will show below, The letters are going to PA, Germany, The Netherlands, and "CAAAN-NUH-DUUUUH!!! The one to Canada;) is a new penpal that I just met on the lovely Facebook. It's a nice sized intro letter;) I like my letters long usually, but intros are usually shorter then established correspondence. Oh, and on swap-bot I signed up for this pen pal swap and we have 5 partners! Yea so that is a potential for 10 new pals. I will have to admit I have become more picky on friends I make through snail-mail. When I started out, I did not really mind writing to pen pal collectors or to people who send form letters, but now I kinda have my own preference and understand how important it is, for me, to really enjoy building a friendship.
So, the booklet below is for a swap on swap-bot. We were to get inspiration from a YouTube video and make a booklet and also write a letter to a potential new pen pal. So here is mine. I will not comment on all the pages.
The binding is just washi tape most pages feature a pocket. The binding does not allow for tons of room for pics, it's very flat..but I still think it's very cute and cannot wait to see the one sent to me:) I inserted my intro letter in the last pocket. Well, I think that is all I will get around to tonight. I do have other pics from a while ago...maybe when I run across them, I will post about them. Have a great day!!
