{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

THRIFT STORE FINDS

Haven't Thrift Store Shopped in a while but decided to stop at a few and ran across a few goodies. 
Found this cute little outfit for $1. Mint condition. Washed that cutie up and grandbaby has a play outfit!
 

When I come across cute little outfits for the granddaughters to play dress up in at my house I always try to grab them if the price is right...and the PRICE WAS RIGHT!
75 cents for this one!
 50 cents for this one!
 

This little precious dress is just that...precious! I am not a Name Brand person...if I like it I get it whether it is name brand or not. However I was delighted to find this adorable Bonnie Jean Of New York dress for my oldest granddaughter. It is too big for her now but she can play in it for the mere $2.99 I paid for it. 
 
Look at the detail on this dress.
 Found this cute little gold basket holder. Perfect to hold my Luncheon napkins in for the holidays. Especially when all I paid was 25 cents for it. 
 

I love me a Bunny! Saw this cute little piece I plan to use next Spring displayed on an easel. Yep, it's a Dollar Tree Item and had the price tag of 75 cents on it but ask me what I paid??????
10 cents! Yep, I said 10 cents! There was a whole bin of items marked "Special of the day" for 10 cents. This was the only thing I found in the bin I wanted but for 10 cents......
 
Hope you enjoyed looking at my little treasure today! You know the old saying, "Another persons trash is someone's treasure!

    You amaze me Miss Cindy at how you always get a deal! That Bonnie Jean dress is adorable. They aren't cheap either unless you get a sale. You need to teach a class on being Thrifty at church! LOL

    Wow Cindy, they are all great! Love the Bonnie Jean dress too!! Thanks for stopping by! Funny about the antlers...my husband hates them, but I have always loved them When my dad and I were in Montana, I made him stop on the side of the road so I could pick up and entire bleached out deer skull. I love them though!!

    Those might have been dirt cheap to buy, but they will be PRICELESS to your granddaughters - so lovely!

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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{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...
