{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

July 4th Tablescape and Winner of Grace Portrait

Can you believe that almost half the year is gone???? July 4th is right around the corner and before we know it Christmas will be here.




I decided to do a simple, kid friendly tablescape this year for July 4th. My oldest two grandgirls actually look forward to what "Nana's" next tablescape will be. I love it!

  You can't go wrong with white plates as you know. I decided to use paper dessert plates from the Dollar Tree. Patriotic, looks good on the white plate and toss when you're done! I bought quite a few packs as I have had my July 4th tablescape up for some time.


Love this little guy...and so does the grandbabies.



 Simple with a mixture of real, paper and plastic! Love it that you can mix and match.


Remember when I used this yard sale candle holder I found for a tea party just recently?



Well it worked out perfect for a July 4th centerpiece in my kitchen.



Looks like one of the grandbabies might have tried to bite the apple! LOL!


Love my coffee pot! I've used it for several decorative things but turned out really cute for July 4th. The little Dollar Tree plastic star plates hold different kinds of goodies....


Like fruit.....


Or red Velvet cookies with Cream cheese icing!


  Simple bottle with a few flowers and a candle made this little corner complete.

 Cute Simple wreath I made for my front door.


And that pretty much wraps up my July 4th decor this year......Thinking about my next tablescape now. I think I hear the sounds of the ocean on the this one.....


Now I want to announce The Winner of the 8x10 portrait of Grace giveaway. Dianna from "Joyful in His Presence" won! Congratulations Dianna! Pop over and visit with her if you get a chance. Dianna suffers from fibromyalgia and has the best testimony. Visit her and go under her section called "His gift to me". Dianna is a sweet gal that surely loves the Lord.

    Doubly thankful to you: For sharing your wonderful Red, White and Blue...such a heart thrilling splash of AMERICA ..and also for the sweet note you left me a like gramma's house a few minutes ago..I [also] read it with tears. At 22 months I still need to talk about him and it means so much when others allow that even more when they "get it"...Every memory is a priceless page in a very huge scrapbook and that stays open with the pages continually turning...but lest you get the wrong idea : I am able to be even now Joyful in the most heart wrenching/sad moments...That is so amazing to me to be walking around [in my life] whispering how blessed and rich in His bounty and the tears of being without him falling down my face at the same time...Our God is G O D...wow! [thanks for listening] On a lighter note you can peek at what I am doing if you wish on my fb photos/synched from phone pics...you will enjoy [fb: jonell Williams Harrison] I will find You.

    Hi Cindy! Congrats to Dianna! I know she will treasure the artwork.
    You are amazing with the table-scape. Wow! And I love that you repurpose and use Dollar Tree. The candelabra idea with the dishes and apples is so inspired. My little grandgirls would go nuts for that turtle! (I'm a Nana too :) ) The red velvet cookies look amazing, I could gobble them down with no problem!
    Happy Monday!

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
