{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

A Few Embellishments!

Some of you know from my Foto Friday that my oldest granddaughter was celebrating her 6th birthday. Can see her pictures of her first manicure and pedicure here http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2010/04/foto-friday_16.html
Well I just had to do a little something more you know for my oldest granddaughter. Decided to play around with a needle and thread! That could be scarey at times! Ha! Bought just a plain white top and a black skort. Found a pair of black flip flops too. Wanted to embellish it a tad though so it would look more girly. I had this cute black and white ribbon and some white/yellow flower buttons and thought, "Now why I can't I use this to add some embellishments and doll this little outfit up. Made these little rossets or thingy's or whatever it is you may want to call it! 
So started out with the white top.

I like the way it looked and proceeded to the skort.
I really thought the added piece just really gave the plain black skort some pop.

Then the flip flops was next! 
I really like the way they turned out. I had bought a white and a black headband so decided to touch them up as well.
Then I just sorta went crazy ya'll. I thought ooh, I got more ribbon and buttons to do somthing with. Made her a little tie braclet. 
Then of course she just had to have a purse to finish off the outfit....
And there it all was! Just turned out cute as a button and needless to say she was tickled with it! 
A seamtress NO............But a NANA THAT LOVES DOING THINGS LIKE THIS FOR THE GRANDS.....YES!

    Hi Cindy, that is adorable what you did with the ribbon, what a great outfit your granddaughter has now. I have a 9yr old daughter but she is not girly at all:( which is a shame cos I totally am. Her friend (also 9) who lives two doors away went for a pedi and mani with her Mom last weekend, when I mentioned to Kristen that we could do something like that she just scrunched up her face!! She did let me paint her finger nails instead though ;)
    Have a fun day. and thanks for your lovely comment.
    Hugs Denise

    What a great idea! Love this!! I just saw your comment about the cd. Funny, but we are working on one as we speak! I have lots of recordings I was featured on that are Air Force Band CDs, but my first solo one will be coming by the end of summer and will be all contemporary Christian/worship music. I will definitely let you know. It will be on itunes for download. Right now the only thing I have on itunes is "Battle Hymn of the Republic" on the album "Our Citizen Airmen" which is an old recording I did with Christ Church Choir in Nashville. You have to search itunes for "Our Citizen Airmen" because it doesn't come up when I search the song. Thanks for asking! I will keep you updated!

    Absolutely, postitively adorable! What a great Nana your are!
    I'm a little envious...have to be careful here :) but I only have grandsons! They don't care much for embellishments! :-) Maybe someday I will have the opportunity to embellish a granddaughter!

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 yard

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy
