I just moved...

and unpacking and getting re-organized took a tiny bit longer than I thought.

Couple that with wanting to enjoy some of the holiday weekend in our new home and I got kind of sucked out of blogland for a week.

BUT

I'm BAAA-ACK!!

I can't tell you how happy we are in our new place,

It's so

US

laid back, small town, friendly people

yesterday I fell asleep on our back porch

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

is still $29 with Free Shipping

and there are still a few WITH A CHERRY ON TOP as well

CUSTOMER HOP is this FRIDAY, JUNE 4th

so if you get your kit today you might still have time to play along, but you can join us using any of the kits!

I'm aiming for June 12th to release the next kit,

I'll know more about how possible that is in the next day or two. I'm still waiting on one more delivery.

Here are some pictures of what we've been up to the last few days..

The S.S. Minnow sets sail on it's first crabbing expedition...

All the Chesapeake Crabs remain intact...

View of our house from the water...we were on a pedal boat

ours is the one in the middle.

Our first game of Fris-beer

don't worry, our kids don't drink

View from inside, family room and kitchen

View of study/office/craft room to the right of this is a screened in porch

where I've been enjoying my morning coffee...

I think I could stay right here forever.

Thanks for stopping by!

MOOOOOOVING.....

I have to laugh at this picture...doesn't he look like he's

"king of the world"

I'll be off the blog for a few days to move and will be back

Thursday or Friday hopefully mostly unpacked.

I'm going to move the customer hop forward a week to

JUNE 4th.

You still have plenty of time to sign up on the post below.

I will still be filling orders, so don't worry about that and

am keeping the $29 price for the BIRDS OF A FEATHER KITS.

I think I overshot a little trying to make it this week, LOL

I can't even find anything right now.

Thanks for bearing with me!!
