{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

Sharing a little Rustic Baby Shower

We recently had my niece a baby shower and she wanted a rustic theme. She had picked out a Willow Organic deer pattern and we tried to coordinate the theme so that it would all tie in. Since she makes and designs cakes she decided to decorate her own cake. Here is the pattern that she was going after for her cake.

Needless to say she matched the Willow Organic pattern perfectly...Don't you think? 

Cake by Stephanie
 
We wanted to keep it simple but cute....Used my Thrift store Carafs for tea and a simple bucket for punch. Everything was centered around the browns, greens, raffia and twine. Some of the mason jars was filled with different kinds of beans and dry corn.



Mason jars with stones and candles really added a touch a cuteness as well as simplicity.


You just can't beat an old mason jar...no matter the size of it.


I had this adorable little yard sale pitcher that worked out great for decoration.


Buckets and mason jars....Decided to fill up one with candy and at the end of the shower I just popped the lid on it and gave it to the mom to be. 


We needed just a little something to add to the rustic deer theme so what better than a banner? A little burlap, paint, ribbon, raffia and deer printouts and wala!


Chow down!


Can't wait to get some sugar from Levi...



And the mom to be was quite happy with her simple but rustic baby shower.

Hope you enjoyed our little baby shower. This sweet little boy is due in a couple of weeks. Would you covet with me in prayer and ask that our Lord allow my niece to have a non-complicated delivery with a healthy baby boy? Have a blessed day my friends.

Hugs and Blessings, Cindy

  5. Hey Cindy, what a unique and pretty baby shower theme. Your beautiful niece did a beautiful job on the cake. She surely takes after her sweet Aunt. Talent just runs in the family it seems. I love the stones in the jars and pitcher for the candles! I just sent up my prayer for Stephanie's safe delivery of Levi. God couldn't have blessed this child with a more Christ loving family.

  8. This is just cute, cute, cute!! I love all the rustic details, the nursery, and the great cake!

    You did see our rustic country wedding, didn't you? I need to go back and look at the comments. You are always so good to leave them. I just wanted to make sure you saw it and the rehearsal dinner since they were rustic too.

    I'm rambling, very tired, we just returned from a Beth Moore conference at Daytona Beach. It was wonderful!

    Enjoyed this adorable post. I haven't seen that nursery theme, so cute. Like your new blog decor too!

  11. Cindy - this was a beautiful event - so tastefully put together. I never liked all those strong primary colors for kiddie stuff. I did a very muted Beatrix Potter theme for my kids. I love all the greens and browns with the deer theme - the rustic charm is inviting and soothing which is the perfect atmosphere for bringing a baby into the world. Bless you as you await Levi's entrance into your family!
    Joy!

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

{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

{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
