Grow Your Blog!

Welcome to Grow Your Blog! I am Jan Petty born again Christian, doll maker, wife of a wonderful man Reggie, mom to 33 yr old Nikki and Nana to 15 yr old A'keyla and 11 yr old Jonathan. Love, love, love those grands! I live in lovely Cape Coral, Fl where the weather is great and the fishing is endless! Vicki at 2 Bags Full is the moderator of this event so be sure to stop by there. Enjoy the pics and don't be a stranger!

This is Jonathan when he was 6 years old on his very first fishing trip with Papa Reggie!

Friendship Baptist Church is a lovely and warm place to visit nearby in Fort Myers.



This is my daughter Nikki, her fiance Jay and my beautiful grands this past Thanksgiving.

This is a commissioned Minnie Mouse doll I did Christmas for a very special little girl named Kayla!
Her granny adores her and Kayla loves all things Minnie!

My hubby Reggie loves to fish, I love to eat fish only!

 My brother Gerald loves fishing most of all. He's a fanatic!!!


My beloved 93 year old mom Janie at Manor Care Nursing Home at Lely, Florida lives about 45 minutes from us so we see her often!


Here she is visiting at my home in the Cape

Minnie loves the whimsy Christmas tree!

Shes a done deal!! One of a kind by yours truly!

I will be having a giveaway on Feb 15th, 2014 so don't forget to stop by on that day. I am not quite sure what the prize will be so as I decide I will be posting an update. Happy blogging!!
