{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

FRIDAY FAVORITES

YEAH...it is Friday! I have a mixture of good stuff today so will start out showcasing this cute cake plate that a friends daughter made for her..... Isn't this just adorable? What a nice gift this would make. (Except mine needs to say Nana please!) Ha!

A friend of mine Lisa Christmas made this Gum Ball Machine for her daughter's teacher. She saw different ones on various sites and decided to make her own. Turned out adorable!

Now onto some Thrift Store Finds..............

Ooh, I love this Biscotti Jar by Nonnie. If you are a collector then you know that you can find some of the Biscotti product's  cheap the majority can very costly. My oldest daughter Kristy and I each found a Biscotti Jar. Wish I had a picture of hers. I LOVE MINE! $7.99

  Most Biscotti products are all hand painted and all different. 

Don't you just love this planter?  The possibilities are endless for use! Would be beautiful in a bathroom filled with washclothes, pretty soaps and etc!


Only $1.99 


3-piece Copper Canister set for $2.99

Fell in love with easel for .99 cents!

Do we ever get enough of candle holders? Couldn't pass this one up for .99 cents.

Too cute for .79 cents! LOVE IT!

I never pass up a good deal on greenery. 

Got the greenery in the basket for $2.99. 


Couldn't pass up this pretty glass decanter. The design is so pretty and I have a decanter/pitcher that matches it.
Paid a little more than I had wanted to but really like it. $2.99


And...I didn't find this cutie in a Thrift Store but I did find her playing in the toilet! This is what happens when Nana turns her back for one minute!  She has that look of "I've been caught"! LOL!

Praise the Lord the toliet was clean!


 By The Way...head on over to my friend Deb's Blog! She is having an awesome giveaway!

    HI Cindy! Great features and that little 'player in the toilet' steals the show! What a little doll!
    My son used to throw his little toys down the toilet and then flush! :)

    Love all the finds, but especially like the little cutie playing in the toilet! Aren't grandkids just amazing. As a Mom, we would have rushed to get her out of the toilet and wash her hands and germ-x. As a granny we do that too, but first we make sure we get the pic for the blog! Love it!

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

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th
