{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

Lots of "Toots" today.....Feeling a little blessed I guess you could say.

When I can I join Jann over at "Have a daily cup of Mrs. Olsen"  for her blog party called, Share your Cup. This party is for anything that makes you happy that you'd like to share. I had recently shared my Banana pepper rings and guess what? I was featured on her blog! Hop over to see the features http://jannolson.blogspot.com/2014/07/share-your-cup-thursday-109.html
I even got a feature button for my blog! Thanks Jann for the feature! I love Jann's parties.

 Here was my featured peppers! And here is my cute little featured button...

Whipped up a cute little dress for one of the grandgirls. Simple but adorable.


Cute little black and white dress with a little eyelet ruffle. I love how the top ties on the shoulders.


The little white flower can be used to pin on the dress or as a hair bow. Looked really cute pinned in the front with the white satin tie.


Decided to get another flower that could be for pinning on the dress or for her hair. Got black...she can interchange them out or use with other outfits.


She is going to look adorable in her black and white summer dress.
 
 After I got the pictures made of the little dress and posted I realized I had the dress crooked on the hanger! Oh well......
 
Got to share my Amish bread with you. (Well not to eat though) LOL! 

A friend of mine from church recently took a little vacation and visited the Amish country! First of all her pictures made me want to PACK up right then and join her! 

She was so sweet and brought me back some fresh bread....I loved the little gift bags the bread was in....Aren't the little birdies just the cutest?


In one bag was Banana nut...2 small loaves.


 In the other bag was Cinnamon...OH MY! I just want to lick the icing off the top so no one else will want to eat it! LOL!


 Yeah, I felt pretty special....


I recently had a short little getaway with my man. We rode the 4 wheeler on some leased hunting land that we deer hunt on, spotted a beautiful deer grazing on the green, went out to eat, shopped a little and well, just had some quiet time with each other! Ya know us old married people need to do this sort of thing from time to time. It sort of takes your focus off the every day hustle of life and allows you to focus on a little fun. 

But when I spotted deer tracks my ole heart went to humming! About time to get my bow out and practice girls. 


Well enough "tooting" for today. So I will leave you with this....starting on my blue, white, and silver tablescape. 4th of July has come and gone so now onto another pretty tablescape. Have got my tree done though...sneak peak....



 White tree, blue satin ribbon, blue and white coffee cups and tea bags! YEPPERS! It is all coming together...


Hope to show you my tablescape soon! 

Have a good Tuesday and be sure to tune in tomorrow for Wednesday in the Word....

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  3. I'm glad you and your hubby had a good time away. It really is essential!

    I love the little black and white dress you made for one of your grands. My favorite part? Can't decide! I think the ties on the shoulders and the eyelet on the bottom are running neck in neck for first place! ~smile~

    You have a thoughtful friend...those breads look SO yummy!

    Have a wonderful Tuesday, Cindy!

  6. That little dress is adorable! What pattern did you use? I'd love to get busy and start making some dresses for my little grandgirls. It's been a long time since I had small granddaughters and I wouldn't dream of making my teenage and pre-teen granddaughters any clothes these days! :)

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
