Hello…Come on over to my new home. I have moved to  blogspot. We can visit and chat over a cup of tea. I hope to hear from you now that you can dialogue with me. Just click on the above link and “we’re off to the races.”

Have “Bookmark” my new page fun,   Jody

Hello…I am running around like a whirling dervish these last few days trying to get some fun pieces ready for the show in Philadelphia. The calendar has made the days longer but they seem shorter to me and my fingers. So…I am trying to pull a rabbit out my hat to make some magic.

Have presto chango fun today,  Jodini

Cheerio…I wasn’t going to post another bride and groom so quickly after my anniversary post…but I can’t resist the temptation today. Yes, I got up early and viewed the pageantry. I hadn’t planned on it but nowadays sleep can be rather risky, so when I saw the clock, I jumped…well…not quite jumped…let’s just say I got up and had a “cup of tea” and an English Muffin. I thought it was beautiful. Today is a good day to be a romantic.

This is Tim!

Hello…Happy Anniversary Tim!    We met in Buffalo, New York on a blind date…he made me laugh plus he bought me dinner. Who couldn’t fall in love whilst giggling over a menu? We have laughed through the last 38 years…well…maybe we didn’t chuckle everyday, but most of the time. Tim and I have two sons…Andy and Jeff…and we are very proud indeed. Happy and proud…aren’t we a lucky pair.

Have “Here, There and Everywhere” fun,   Jody, the other bride

Hello… I am preparing to do this exciting new doll and teddy bear show in Philadelphia on May 14th.  So much to look forward to…seeing some artists that I haven’t seen in years and visiting with my wonderful bear friends. There is nothing like a huge room filled with teddy bears and the people who love them. Plus…I am spending the weekend with Pat Murphy…life is good!

Have “Why don’t you come play with us” fun,  Jody

Hello…Happy Easter! I am filled with memories of looking into my closet and seeing my new dress, coat and little straw purse hanging there just waiting for Easter Sunday. The morning arrived and I finally got to prance around in my new outfit, white gloves, itchy petticoats, fancy shoes and socks. I remember climbing into the back seat of the  Pontiac…my sister, brother and I had to sit still so we could arrive intact for the photos outside at my Grandmother’s house. Everyone had to be starched and picture-perfect. Little girls nowadays have it made…as little white gloves and chocolate bunnies don’t mix well.

Have “In your Easter Bonnet with all the frills upon it” fun,  Jody
