{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...

Tuesday Toots

Well it is time again to share a little Tuesday Toots....I want to share a baby shower with you today. My niece Hannah had a lovely shower and the decorations was the most absolute cutest I have seen in a while for a baby shower. 

First meet my niece Hannah...due the end of May and having a little girl. Her name will be Charlotte Paris...I love that name!


The cake was so cute...I thought at first the little shoes on the top was actually edible but they weren't. However, had a place on the bottom of the shoes to record the baby's date of birth, name and weight. Just adorable...






The decor was really a "thrifty" thing to do. They served two purposes. Decoration and then for the baby to keep!

How simple...baby blanket, diapers, ribbon and tulle! 


The little diaper cakes was so cute!


Material, diapers, ribbon, shredded paper and flower!


This was so adorable too! Diapers wrapped up with material & ribbon and topped with flowers.


Two cute little diapers embellished. The squares on each table laying on the pink tablecloth was plastic tablecloth as well.


Gotta show you the cute punch fountain. Not bad at all for $30.


Lovely way to display mints for the guests.


And oh I must say I feel in love with this diaper cake my niece Haley made....It too was one of the cutest diaper cakes I have seen. 



Hair bows, shoes, little pink Bible, sunshades and all sorts of cute things.

I just adore the tutu..(which can be worn by Miss Charlotte.


The shower was lovely. Lots of people, lots of food, lots of gifts and a lot of love...



Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Awe, what a sweet shower. Your niece looks so young. But then I did too when I had my first child at age 20. Such a cute little tummy she has there! The decorations are lovely. That pink and black could even be used for a bridal shower and use rolled dishclothes or washcloths instead of diapers. I really love the tutu diaper cake though! SO ADORABLE! Think I just might need to try my hand at one of these. So glad you shared the shower Cindy. Connie Royals

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...
