{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...

Easter Tablescape & Cheap Dishes

I love Easter and all that it stands for! I love the pretty decorations...the bunnies, chicks and eggs. I love the fact that Jesus died on a Cross for my sin and arose on the 3rd day! WOW! Lot of things to love about Easter! And....I love my Easter tablescape!



I do adore bunnies. Would like to have some REAL ones...but the DH said, "Too much upkeep". Ugg....

These dishes are simple but yet lovely! Especially when I found these at a yard sale for $10...and I got two sets of these (16) of each item for $10....Since that time I have found more of these dishes along with serving platters, serving bowls and etc.! I probably have enough of this pattern to serve 20 people!!!!




 Decided to use my gravy boat to hold my sweet n' low.



 I just adore my little basket.

 Found these adorable glass eggs at a KNIFE place in Tn. You never know what you will find! 



Love my bunny teapot. A friend gave that to me years ago for Easter. I've had the clear goblits for years. Actually bought those at Dollar General for $1.00 each.



Notice the green coaster my goblit is sitting on?


It is actually a tile....like the kind you purchase to create a backsplash...I saw these and for 25 cents each I thought...How cute to use as coasters!




Awe...my little bunny trinket box...




The wooden napkins rings came from Walgreen's...     2 for $1.00. The pretty napkins which the picture doesn't do them justice came from Little Dolly's in Tn. The bambo silverware came from Walgreen's as well and they were a mere 4 for $1.00. So I got a set of cheap and cute bambo silverware for $6.00 If it only last one season then I've got my monies worth!




The adorable little cross has the words REJOICE on them. I found these at Wal-mart for $1.00 each. Put one at each place setting. 




Another adorable bunny that holds a candle sitting on a framed piece of glass.




The green runner was actually a curtain valance I found in the discount aisle at Walmart for $3.




The silver chargers came from Hobby Lobby for $1.99 each.

    Hi Cindy,

    Your Easter tablescape is so beautiful. You can't beat those dishes for only $10. What a bargain! I did notice your green coaster and never thought about using tiles - what a neat idea. Just put a felt backing on them and you are all set. Happy Easter to you!

    I am not believing you used tile pieces for coasters! I would have never thought about that! Such an awesome idea. I love your Easter table. Almost too pretty to eat out of! Nita B

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!...

{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...
