H1N1---OH NO!!!!

Yep, he's got it......our sweet grandson, Caden, was
diagnosed this morning with the H1N1 flu.

He's been sick for about a week now and has been coughing through the night. So Bre took him to the Dr.'s this morning. Poor guy is miserable. No appetite, no energy and just feels lousy. Nothing much the Dr. could do for him. Just Tylenol and cough medicine for now and lots of prayers for a quick and complete recovery. The rest of the family have been struggling with colds and coughs and we are keeping our fingers crossed that they don't come down with it too.
I think they all need to just get on a plane and come down to our warm, sunny weather, some homemade chicken noodle soup and Papa and Gigi's hugs and kisses!

Meanwhile, Jami, Mom and I went to a Christmas boutique this past weekend. This darling
gal is the owner of Chateau Couture. Her booth was so great. She had so many cool items for sale.

I loved her canvas art. They were really big and colorful.
And expensive!

Look how she embellished this tree form.

Now who wouldn't love this headboard?

Then there was this cake booth.......YUM!
She makes the cutest cakes. Her cake pops on a stick were delicious!!

This booth sold these great banners.

A young high school girl is the artist behind these embellished wooden boxes.

No, the artwork was not for sale....but all the delicious decorated sugar-cookies and
cinnamon rolls were.

I am really having fun making these headbands. It's so fun to use all the different colored
ribbons and jewels. After the boutique we went over to Mesa to have lunch at
"Sweetcakes"......one of our favorites! While we were ordering our lunch the girl behind the
counter commented on how much she liked Jami's headband. Jami, being the salesgirl that she is, wasted no time in telling her that her mom makes and sells them and that we just happen to have a bunch of them in our car if she wants to see them!!
Well, she bought one. LOL!
What would I do without my daughter? She could sell ice to an Eskimo!
I, on the other hand, hate the selling part.
Any-ho, here's some close ups.

Oh, and big news, I finally got my studio cleaned up....AGAIN! Hey, it is big news..it takes
me all day cause it's such a disaster. Honestly, I can't figure out how I make such a mess.
Gotta go now. Have a good week. Is your turkey thawing??????
