{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

A few Keepers!

I'm joining Linda at Coastal Charm again this week for another great Nifty Thrifty Tuesday. Be sure to visit her at  http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com and then hop on over to the other Mr. Linky's so you can see all the goodies the other Nifty Thrifty folks got. 
Found this beautiful glass piece which is very heavy at a Thrift Store for $2.99. 
Another glass tea pitcher which is was so hard for me to pass up for $1.99 at the Thrift Store.
Cute butterfly basket for $1.00 at the Thrift Store.


And then I found this thingy-gingy! Is that even a word? I almost didn't get it but then it was only 50 cents! And I passed by it twice and it was one of those deals that I said, "Ok, it is still sitting there when I walk by again...for the 3rd time....I am getting it! Now isn't that just a great way to talk yourself into buying something or either talk yourself out of buying something????? But for 50 cents!!!!
Well, it was still there and it came home with me. Needless to say the ideas are really endless when using this. I have already thought how lovely a cake would look on top of it on a pretty cake plate with flowers at the bottom. Or...a nice bowl of salad sitting nestled on top. Or....or.....or.....


And you know things just ain't normal for me if I don't go by Walmart and to look on the clearance asle.....Found 6 of these plates on the clearance asle that had been marked down to $1 for each. Bought all 6! Love them.
And last but not least my gravy bowl with matching platter that matches my dishes....


My friend Paige that owns Three Palms Resale had this in her shop and as soon as I spied it, yep, just had to have it. I just posted a tablescape recently with my story on my dishes. You can see that here if you'd like http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2010/04/miss-lossies-tablescape.html
That is my goodies for the week.

    What great finds. Heck, I've bought dishes I don't even like at the time for that price. How can you pass them up? I'm on my way to Walmart as soon as I log off.

    How do you find so many good deals? Guess that's why you have eye for things and I don't! I am the purse hunter...and still have problems finding the REAL THING for a small amount of money. Trinity

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
