Mixed up post.....

 I don't don't know about you but for me this summer
every thing seems to be rushed.....But in a good way!
Three weeks ago the kids and I joined a small group from school
and have started walking and biking almost everyday around 5 miles....Its been so good
for all of us....and It wears the kids out (less fighting) yeah!
 I don't know if you remember
 when Mimi and I joined a friend for our first attempt at pottery....
I think although slightly Misshapen my birdhouse and owls
turned out cute....like something a 7th grader would be proud to bring home to mom....
 Mimi was so excited to see our finished projects from this super fun day!
 You all know that I collect Starbucks mugs and my newest treasure
a friend brought me back this amazing Boston mug....
I love these and use them everyday, I always find it fun
to drink my tea and coffee from a different place....so you can imagine
at a garage sale on Friday.....I was so excited to find these 3 mugs
Shanghai, Hong Kong and Colorado.
Someone had a fun trip!

What have you all been up to this summer so far 
and whats your favorite tag sale find?

I can't wait to show you something else I found, 
It's pretty groovy!

Playing along here!!

  8. I took a pottery class a few years ago. One class I had to leave the room because I couldn't get my clay to center on the wheel. I got so frustrated, I almost cried. The worst part was my husband took the class too and took to it like a duck takes to water. Grrr.

  9. Fun post Heidi. I think your attempt at pottery is cute. The birdhouse has a lot of character and the owls do too. Diane

  10. If I was your mother, I'd be very proud of you! Your pottery is very whimsical and cute.
    I'd also be proud that you are taking such great care of yourself-all that hiking you're doing.
    I sure wish I'd thought of that when I had four children at home together!!

  14. Cyling with the children sounds wonderful all that fresh air and sunshine. Summer seems to have been here for all of 2 weeks and since then we have sadly had nothing but rain. So you enjoy yours ;-)) Your pottery looks fab and every time you look at it, it will be full of warm memories for you both. Enjoy the rest of your week, dee x
