Showered with gifts....

When Joy was going to the hospital this past summer, Paul's new coworkers put together an amazing gift basket for her, which included a Kindle! They are so nice!
Paul asked me last night if I had something to give as a baby shower gift (for coworker who is having twins!!) He told me they love the Georgia Bulldogs! So , I took a black sock and added fur until I got somewhat of a bulldog look.....Stopped at 3 A.M., when Joy woke-up with an ear infection!! He's pretty cute, but looks a little cat-like!

Briarlake's Fall Festival

This year I had to choose between three craft shows on the same day!! It was tough, but I decided to sell puppets at Briarlake Elementary and I had a great day! I sold 20 sock puppets, 5 sandwich puppets, all the bananas I had, and a few pickles. Joy sold a lot of her "Zom-Barbies" too! It was perfect weather, and we all had a blast!

Puckin' Fuppet Show

Got up the courage to perform again! Didn't win any money, but it was good to share the stage with some amazing puppeteers!

Homegrown Party featuring InJestPuppets!

My dad came from Rome, Ga. to spend the day with us, and go to the opening! Too bad there was a HUGE thunderstorm right as it started. We had fun anyway! Joy and Paul came towars the end, everyone was happy to meet them, and Grandpa Lee had a BLAST! Thanks Homegrown for selling so many of my puppets!!!!
