Hi everyone,

Well I have been back for 10 days now and have been
one very busy lady.
We had a terrific weekend, weather was lovely, everyone showed up 38 adults and 5 children, fun was had by all. Lots of laughs, some tears (of joy) when they all received their gifts I had made and one in particular was a book I had made wherein I researched our family orgins and then composed stories of our family, added photos and had the book bonded in hardcover for a souvenir for each of my brothers and sisters. Even my 2 brothers were in tears. Many of the pictures were old pictures of my parents and grandparents no one had seen before.
I have not had time to visit cuties much (have so many orders I am going crazy) so I have not had time to get pictures posted, will try very soon. I promised I will post my picture of Minnie Pearl, she was such a hit and of hubby as well who preformed our little Hee Haw skit as grandpa Jones. Boy did he get into character. People couldn't believe it was my dear, quiet little hubby.
We ate like Kings and Queens all weekend, the barn was transformed into a dining, dancing and photo gallery.
People were in awe when they walked in. I had put together a photo booth that looked a little like the inside of a stable. I was very proud of myself for pulling this off, it was a gigantic task but of so worth it.
Everyone had such a good time that we will be repeating the event in two years. I will try to pass the torch onto someone else for that one.
As soon as I get time to post my pictures, I promise I will, now I have to get back to work, seven baby baskets to do before mid-October, no time to relax
Hugs to all and I have missed you
Michelle

Glad your family reunion went off so well. I would love our family to have one, but with 530 decendants from my parents alone it would be a mammoth task. I just hope someone will have the energy to have a go in the near future. Looking forward to seeing some photos. Shirley

Glad to see your back and have thought a few times of your Hee Haw fun. Looking forward to your pictures. If we see red in your eyes then we will know it was from tears or cheers. Sounds like it was the best of times. Hope you don't over do, but will be looking for your gorgeous basket goodies too.

Happy to hear that your family reunion went so well. You really put a lot of work into making it all happen!! Once you catch up on those orders, you can take a well-deserved rest.
