{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 ...

FRIDAY FAVORITES

It is Friday again! Time to see a few favorites of mine this week. 

I fell in love with this headboard bench! 


Love this party idea. Not only is it edible but cute!


This is such a cute idea for a gift.


This is a great idea for a wedding. I've never liked that "which side would you like to sit mentality".


What a cute idea for a makeover! The grands would love!


Do you need a gift idea for the friend that loves shoes? Got a pair of shoes you want to get rid of? Well now you know what to do with them! I have the perfect SHOE friend for this idea!


We gotta have a tablescape to drool over today!


Plastic Cups with cupcake liners!

    The chalkboard at the wedding is so precious...and I do like the swing!! But, as usual that last little sign gets to my heart....especially, the "He has something better in mind"!!! Praise His Name!!!

    Hey Sweetie! I've enjoyed reading your sweet comments so much this week. They've eased up some painful days and brighten up some just plain ole' boring days. I'm just ashamed that it took me so long to come by and say thank you.

    Congratulations on your new job!! I'm so happy for you. God is so good!

    I love your bright cheery blog look. It makes me smile as soon as I get here. Love that headboard bench too. I'm in love with everything aqua/turquoise, these days. And how perfect is the wedding guest message - Love the thought behind it as well as the look. And God's 3 answers to your prayers, is going in my quote book. Maybe even some sort of DIY wall art. I could use that reminder on a regular basis.

    Love ♥ you so much for the visits! XO's...Tracy @ Cotton Pickin Cute

    Oh my is it Friday already. I always enjoy your favorites, because they are some of mine too.
    The swing has to be my favorite and the last one really spoke to me about how God answers prayer. It is so true.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog too.
    Have a blessed weekend, Cindy.

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...
