Mad Tea Party

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!" says the White Rabbit... and me too. I thought I would have time but with the move I did not. Always late to the party I am but now my own tea party. Sheesh! In all fairness, we realized we were going to be moving from Michigan to Florida on very short notice. I pushed my tea party up a week and figured I would get a chance to at least pre-schedule the post on my blog. Obviously, that didn't happen. My most sincere apologies to the hostess and readers at A Fanciful Twist. But I am sure you don't want to hear my groveling. Without further ado, let the party from Michigan begin... late.

Honored Guests gather for the party


Me and my outrageously silly friends. I miss you all already.

Camera Critter Saturday - Kitty Snuggles

I am sharing my adorable kitties today. These are photos of Inky and Mouser napping on my bed. Also, I am sharing a digital scrapbook layout I made with the same photos.


Mouser on my pillow.


Inky sprawled in the middle of the bed.


Digital Layout

On another note I am going to be adding another blog for your viewing pleasure. I actually formed it a while back but have yet to post on it. That is going to be remedied in a few moments. If you like scrapbooking, both traditional and digital, card crafting, altered art, rubber stamps etc. then this blog might be of interest to you as well.

Big Changes

We have some exciting changes happening around us. The Magical Mundane is relocating. In a month, instead of Michigan nature photos you will be seeing something new. You will be seeing Florida photos, specifically around the northwest panhandle. My husband has accepted a transfer with his job to the Pensacola area, which also happens to be where my mother and step father live. We will be leaving MI on June 21st and he starts work in FL on the 27th.

The one sad part is that we had to give up our flock of poultry. After much discussion, we decided it wouldn't be fair to them to haul them 15 hours in pens and the weather down south might not suit them. Fortunately, we were able to find them a wonderful home where they have other critters to befriend. This family has chickens, ducks, turkeys, bunnies, goats and even a few cows.

That is pretty much all I have for you today. I am going to schedule out a few blog posts with photos but I may be scarce for a while. I have loads of sorting, packing and hauling to the thrift store that needs to get done in three short weeks.

I am going to leave you with these photos of White-Crowned Sparrows migrating through Michigan.
