A Few Fun Things

What comes to mind when you think about something "fun"?
Is it what you do, what you see when you're out & about...
or do you think about the fun things you wear or see around the house?
I think about all of those things and more...

I love these fun paper clips I found in the gift shop at Longwood Gardens...
I plan on using them in my Junk Journal.

Knitting is also fun...


I finished my
Knit with a blended yarn, 60% Baby Alpaca and 40% Peruvian Pima Cotton... 
in the color Light Blue/Ivory.
This is a kit that includes the pattern, all the yarn you need, a circular needle and the 
"handmade by me" tag.


Adult coloring would be next on my list of fun things...


coloring is not only fun but relaxing and rewarding.



I finally found a website that sells the seed cards I have been looking for.
In addition to the cards I ordered, they sent the "frog" card (in the back) that I can keep and plant.
The below directions were also included.


My hubby's friend made this KC Chiefs football Helmet for me.
It was made with a 3D printer, I think...I also think it uses paper.
The other side has the number 15 on it, Patrick Mahomes, because he is my favorite player.


Chasing this bumble bee on my pretty azaleas, was beyond fun.



I view my time in the kitchen as fun, cooking...and being creative with the dishes I prepare. 



A walk around the yard is always fun...

my Lilac Bush is full of blooms!

Always love your posts, Debbie. Just ordered from the seed card web site. Perfect addition to a gift bag I was making for a friend's birthday.

Debbie you have a joy for life and adventure and share it on your blog. My own definition of fun is when I do learn something new, go on a new adventure, spend time reading, enjoy a good new-to-me movie or rewatch an old favorite, take a wonderful photo...and more I cant think of now.

Debbie said...

so what you mean to say is "everything" is fun!! good for you!!

Your posts are always so pretty, Debbie! The blanket turned out so nice. Yes, thank you!--- I did see the mailbox 📬 pictures and loved them!--- best mailbox garden I've ever seen! Your neighbors have got to love that. Our bluebirds have finally returned 🐦 and I watch their antics every day and the hummingbirds are back too. Hugs!

Those are all wonderful fun things. I suppose my definition of fun would depend on what mood I'm in on any particular day or what I'm doing

I love your coloring and I am jealous of the lilacs. I return to Pennsylvania in 2 and 1/2 weeks but too late to enjoy my lilacs, peonies, and daffodils. Lots of fun things in your post.

Hi Debbie :)
I love those paper clips. they are so pretty, and I love the idea of the card seeds what a fun way of gardening. Your flowers are lovely and so is your blanket. I enjoy doing sudoku it's fun for me and at the same time exercises my old brain. :)
Keep having fun whilst you still can Debbie, I love your attitude to life in general.
All the best
Sonjia.

The blanket looks gorgeous. A sweater would look amazing in that yarn. Your colouring looks amazing, Debbie! Happy weekend.

Those paper clips are so pretty, they will look great in your journal. Love the yarn you used for your blanket. Those flowers are colored so pretty. I do enjoy coloring too. I recognize that card in the front, I will be planting it tomorrow, we went and bought dirt tonight :)
Isn't it amazing what those 3D printers can do. Our Lilac only bloomed for a few days and was gone, not sure why it doesn't last very long.
