Happy May!

Happy May! I wanted to pop in and share a few pictures from my month of April which seemed to fly by quickly. As I am trying to catch up with my blogging friends today I realized it had been a month since I last posted. My mercy! But, I am so busy doing this thing we call life here on earth and enjoying every moment that I can. With my immediate family of 14 there is never a dull moment y'all!   We had three family birthdays in April. My SIL David, granddaughter Adalynn and oldest granddaughter Raygen.  Our favorite grandson Conner (only grandson) carried his girl to the prom. We had to snap at least one picture with Mom and Nana! Two of my elementary school friends and I get together at least once every 4-5 weeks so we went to breakfast and then to  Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We always have so much fun.  The gardens are so beautiful that I couldn't even attempt to snap all the pictures I wanted. There are so many beautiful paintings to look at this but this was one of

Tuesday Toots-Yard sale Loot

It just so happened that I had a Doctor's appointment recently and could not pass up a yard sale or two...and the Goodwill!

Needless to say the first yard sale I stopped at was my kind of sale...CHEAP!


Three strands of pearls for $1. I love pearls. I not only wear them but I decorate with them as well. Just something about a stand of pearls to me that says....ELEGANT.

 I spied this deep purple table runner and when the girl said, "You can have it for 50 cents I snatched it up like it was my last meal!!!


 Cute pink vase for 25 cents...I like to pick up vases here and there as my mom loves fresh flowers and my sister and I try to keep her room adorned with flowers.Well, she loves plants PERIOD! Matter of fact we get tired of watering them! LOL!


Goodwill here I come!


Spied this cute little basket for 99 cents. I have already used it and see many uses to come!

And I just love these beautiful goblets. I have a set but for 99 cents each I grabbed these to add to my stash.


I just cannot pass up a Christmas Sleigh. And yes....I have quite a few stashed away but spotted this at another yard sale and guess what? Only 25 cents!



There is always what I call my REAL PRIZE of the day when yard sale or thrift store shopping and this cookie-candy jar was it for me! LOVE IT!

Isn't she pretty?

Paid a little more for her than I wanted too but I have so many pieces that she matches and well...you know the old saying...if we really want it we'll pay WHAT THEY WANT FOR IT!

This little feller rode with me on my window for about 30 miles before he disappeared. 


And no, I didn't try to snap his picture while driving. First of all I AIN'T that good...and second of all I AIN'T that STUPID! LOL!

In the meantime I am working on the outside of my little shed. Decided it needed to be gussied up a tad...


Got some planting I want to do in the front as well. Not sure if I want Boxwood or Indian Hawthorne...but deciding. In the meantime I do love my little plants on the windows though.


Hope you enjoyed my loot today. I have already have my cookie jar loaded with Debbie cakes! Hee-hee!
 

Have a great day!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

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

{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
