{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...

FRIDAY FAVORITES

YEAH...it is Friday! I have a mixture of good stuff today so will start out showcasing this cute cake plate that a friends daughter made for her..... Isn't this just adorable? What a nice gift this would make. (Except mine needs to say Nana please!) Ha!

A friend of mine Lisa Christmas made this Gum Ball Machine for her daughter's teacher. She saw different ones on various sites and decided to make her own. Turned out adorable!

Now onto some Thrift Store Finds..............

Ooh, I love this Biscotti Jar by Nonnie. If you are a collector then you know that you can find some of the Biscotti product's  cheap the majority can very costly. My oldest daughter Kristy and I each found a Biscotti Jar. Wish I had a picture of hers. I LOVE MINE! $7.99

  Most Biscotti products are all hand painted and all different. 

Don't you just love this planter?  The possibilities are endless for use! Would be beautiful in a bathroom filled with washclothes, pretty soaps and etc!


Only $1.99 


3-piece Copper Canister set for $2.99

Fell in love with easel for .99 cents!

Do we ever get enough of candle holders? Couldn't pass this one up for .99 cents.

Too cute for .79 cents! LOVE IT!

I never pass up a good deal on greenery. 

Got the greenery in the basket for $2.99. 


Couldn't pass up this pretty glass decanter. The design is so pretty and I have a decanter/pitcher that matches it.
Paid a little more than I had wanted to but really like it. $2.99


And...I didn't find this cutie in a Thrift Store but I did find her playing in the toilet! This is what happens when Nana turns her back for one minute!  She has that look of "I've been caught"! LOL!

Praise the Lord the toliet was clean!


 By The Way...head on over to my friend Deb's Blog! She is having an awesome giveaway!

    HI Cindy! Great features and that little 'player in the toilet' steals the show! What a little doll!
    My son used to throw his little toys down the toilet and then flush! :)
    Be a sweetie and have a nice weekend,

    Love all the finds, but especially like the little cutie playing in the toilet! Aren't grandkids just amazing. As a Mom, we would have rushed to get her out of the toilet and wash her hands and germ-x. As a granny we do that too, but first we make sure we get the pic for the blog! Love it!

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...
