{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

TUESDAY TOOTS


Just a few toots today! This is Random tooting today! LOL! Made a couple of yard sale purchases. Didn't have long to yard sale so only stopped by a couple. Found these cute little ducks and knew I had to have them.


Aren't they cuties...I think they are real cute for only 50 cents for both! Went right on in the Whitetail Room! Will share pictures of that later....

A whole box of greenery for $1.00. I thought I heard her wrong and asked a 2nd time....YEP...take it all and the box for a $1.00 she said. 


This is a candle holder of course without the candle. But know I could use it somewhere for 25 cents I just needed it....LOL!




Remember a few weeks ago when I showed you my beautiful Biscotti Jar? 


Well I just so happened to be featured over at The Thrifty Grove.....check it out....
http://thethriftygroove.blogspot.com/2012/05/thrifty-things-friday-60.html

My daughter Kristy found a Biscotti Jar too. This one didn't have the lid but she loved it and has it in her kitchen.




The thing about Biscotti Jars is there is not one that is alike and they all are hand painted. I think they are beautiful! They can be very pricey. We felt we got them for a steel at $7.99 each at a Thrift Store. 

And I must toot about my wins! I was thrilled to find out I was the winner of two different things from two different blogs last week! Girls, it pays to blog. 

Patti from http://ppandorasbox.blogspot.com
was offering a set of 250 stickers....I WON!!!!

 
And then low and behold I get a note from Tracy over at Cotton Pickin Cute http://cottonpickincute.blogspot.com/
and I have won this:




I've had some tooten to do didn't I? 


And if you think today that you have nothing to "toot" about just remember...
"This is the Day the Lord has made...let us be glad and rejoice in it".....that right there is worth tooten!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Great Thrifty buys there Miss Cindy. Especially the greenery. I went to purchase some greenery last week and just for a plain (not even full bush) was $10 and it really wasn't pretty! Lucky for you on the winning too! Nita B

    Okay, you have me wanting a Biscotti jar for my kitchen. Those are gorgeous. I also love your ducks. Remind me of an old say my Grandma used to say "Lord love a duck."

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
