{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

A Deal, A Deal!

I really enjoy my Tuesdays with Linda at Coastal Charm http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com. You gotta check her blog out! She is wonderfully gifted and talented and hosts such a great party each week. 
My friend Paige that owns Three Palms Resale has so many great items in her shop. Let me share my treasures with you I bought from her. 

I love this clock! Every time I went into her shop I would eye this sweetie! It's not only heavy but the detail is so pretty to me.


And do you see that price????? It was only $8.95 to start off with and then she had a sale!!!! 25%-50% off of selected items. The PINK slash meant 50% off! Got this little beauty from Paige for $4.50........
I said something to the effect of maybe spray painting it but Paige said NO........She was too funny. She said the color is perfect. I am thinking of a Mantle redo in my living room and this sweet little thing will going on top! Especially since I have a candle stick that matches it too! (Yard Sale-$2)
 I also found this Blue Jar. Loved it....It shouted out...... 
YOU CAN USE THIS FOR YOUR LEMONADE PARTY IN MAY!!! Once again....the pink slash was there! Got this for $5 from Paige.
She only had 3 of these blue and white bowls but I just had to have them. Loved the blue and white and the size of the bowls. She only wanted $1 for each one but got them for 50 cent each. LEMONADE PARTY---LEMONADE PARTY!
Just gotta share these placemats with you too. Found these at Walmart...good ole' Walmart....YEP.................You guessed it! They are for my Lemonade Party! 

If I am not mistaken...I only paid $1 for each. 
Hope you enjoy Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays as much as I do!

    I am a clock-a-holic. There, I admitted it in public. I know I have at least one in every room except the bathrooms....hey, another place to put one! Seriously, I love that clock - painted or not. Great candlestick. Linda

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
