{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

FRIDAY FAVORITES

Love me some Friday Favs.....With so much talent out there it is hard to pick just a few things each week to show...Hope you enjoy my favs for this week.

I spotted this and thought it was the cutest idea! It is called a School Supply Caddy but would be a great idea for those that love to do crafts or for the kids/grandkids play room.



LOVE this idea! A Table from pallet's



Now I just want you to look at this! A Santa hat valance!


You have got to take the time to look at this site. It has the cutest ideas for Christmas gifts for friends with sayings!



And awe for the sewer's! Fabric scrap bunting ideas!



I made this Mexican Casserole about a week ago. It was GREAT! The only thing I done different was I added some black beans and saved the chips and we crushed them on our casserole after it was cooked. Of course I did add a dash of hot sauce and sour cream to mine! GREAT


Oh I love this tablescape! Aren't the dishes just lovely?

    Love the Friday Favorites today. My favorite might be the pallet table. I saw a brand new pallet in the dumpster the other day, and I wanted it so bad. But I was in my car and didn't think it would fit in there even if I could dig it out.

    Fabric Bunting and Pallet Shelf are my faves of your faves this week. My bedroom is in a country theme with brick reds and country blues. Unfortunately, my breaker box is on the bedroom wall in a weird place. That pallet shelf would be perfect to cover it. Need to check into that.
    Have a blessed weekend.

    Someone has Christmas on her brain! :) I love the caddy idea and that would be easy to set up pretty quickly. I may have to make one next time my nephew is over. He is the only one who still likes to craft with me. :)

    Hugs,

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

{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

{May Blessings Photo Dump}

June has crept upon us it seems. Y'all, it's six months until Christmas! LOL!  Wanted to share a few of my May blessings.  We have been blessed with fresh potatoes. We've been able to share some with others and still have plenty. My cucumbers, okra and orange tree was destroyed in the tornado that we took a hit from but what a blessing that we pulled the potatoes before the tornado.  Speaking of tornado it's been a job cleaning up the aftermath. God spared our home and us as we were home. Marty and I heard the sound of the tornado and retrieved to our bathtub for safety. The affects surely done a number on our barn, my shed, a pull trailer and oh our property was in a mess. Huge OLD trees gone! Such a mess but we are beginning to see the light at the end of tunnel with the cleanup. We have been so blessed with our children and friends that have come to help us. God surely had a hedge of protection around us.  Our oldest granddaughter Raygen graduation from College as Su
