{It's A New Beginning Y'all}

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

Nifty Thrifty Tuesday & Giveaway

It is time for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday with Linda over at Coastal Charm http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com
Linda is having a giveaway too. Be sure to check her blog out and all the other guests that have participated. 

My very first eye candy was this lovely Green Pitcher. I could not believe it was marked just $1.99 at GW.
 
Next I found these adorable Salad plated. They only had 7 so I grabbed them. .99 cents each from GW.
 Look at the detail on these plates. I love them!

Spotted this cute sugar.creamer set for Fall for a mere 69 cents each. From the GW.

Ooh and look at these Rooster Napkin rings! 8 in a bag for $2.99. Yep, you guessed it, from GW.

I almost didn't get this next little goody b/c I only saw one....but, you can always have a tea party for one right? Beautiful tea pot napkin ring for 99 cents.

Found this cute green plate with a darling bunny on it for 99 cents. Just had to have it. Goes with my green pitcher. 
 And lastly I found 4 of these cute little lavender and white plates that I thought would be so cute to use with other pastel colors in the Spring./Easter. They didn't have a price on them so the lady charged me 29 cents each from GW.

I hope you have enjoyed Nifty Thrifty Tuesday with me. Don't forget to check out my friend Linda's blog. Plus she is having an awesome giveaway. http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com

    Great finds. You know - I used to have that green pitcher or at least one similar to it. I think it was from Pier One. I had a platter and bowl that went with them too. The bowl broke and I miss it. I still have the platter. The pitcher I probably got rid of in a fit of cleaning and purging. Who knows? You might have mine! LOL! Isn't that funny?

    Nice find on the little lavender polka plates too. What a good shopping day!

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...

{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...

{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...
