{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...

TUESDAY TOOTS


Just a few toots today! This is Random tooting today! LOL! Made a couple of yard sale purchases. Didn't have long to yard sale so only stopped by a couple. Found these cute little ducks and knew I had to have them.


Aren't they cuties...I think they are real cute for only 50 cents for both! Went right on in the Whitetail Room! Will share pictures of that later....

A whole box of greenery for $1.00. I thought I heard her wrong and asked a 2nd time....YEP...take it all and the box for a $1.00 she said. 


This is a candle holder of course without the candle. But know I could use it somewhere for 25 cents I just needed it....LOL!




Remember a few weeks ago when I showed you my beautiful Biscotti Jar? 


Well I just so happened to be featured over at The Thrifty Grove.....check it out....
http://thethriftygroove.blogspot.com/2012/05/thrifty-things-friday-60.html

My daughter Kristy found a Biscotti Jar too. This one didn't have the lid but she loved it and has it in her kitchen.




The thing about Biscotti Jars is there is not one that is alike and they all are hand painted. I think they are beautiful! They can be very pricey. We felt we got them for a steel at $7.99 each at a Thrift Store. 

And I must toot about my wins! I was thrilled to find out I was the winner of two different things from two different blogs last week! Girls, it pays to blog. 

Patti from http://ppandorasbox.blogspot.com
was offering a set of 250 stickers....I WON!!!!

 
And then low and behold I get a note from Tracy over at Cotton Pickin Cute http://cottonpickincute.blogspot.com/
and I have won this:




I've had some tooten to do didn't I? 


And if you think today that you have nothing to "toot" about just remember...
"This is the Day the Lord has made...let us be glad and rejoice in it".....that right there is worth tooten!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Great Thrifty buys there Miss Cindy. Especially the greenery. I went to purchase some greenery last week and just for a plain (not even full bush) was $10 and it really wasn't pretty! Lucky for you on the winning too! Nita B

    Okay, you have me wanting a Biscotti jar for my kitchen. Those are gorgeous. I also love your ducks. Remind me of an old say my Grandma used to say "Lord love a duck."

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...

{A Celebration of Forty Years of Marriage}

Marty and I just celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary on September 23rd. On one hand, it seems like it was FOREVER ago that we said "I do" and on the other hand, it really doesn't seem that long ago.   We began dating at the age of 16, married at age 18 and began our family at age 20. WOW! Babies, right? I always said that we grew up with our children.  My friend Janice told me that most people can't commit 40 days much less 40 years and that is so very true. God has been so merciful to us over the years and the grace that He has poured out on us is about more than my little brain can comprehend. We have been truly blessed and we have not deserved one ounce of His blessings!  We have had hard times, bad times, grief, and to be totally honest, there were times we both wondered if we would make it! God has shown us Grace and Mercy over and over again. He sure loves us so much.  The question was asked to me, "What has been y...

{Tea Cup and Mug Exchange} So much fun!

I joined the talented and gifted Stephanie from The Enchanting Rose blog for her tea cup and mug exchange. This was my 3rd time of participating and it was so much fun. Stephanie will be posting on her Blog about the exchange on Wednesday so be sure to hop over there this week and visit.  http://theenchantingrose.blogspot.com/   Linda from https://ladylindateacup.blogspot.com/  was given my name to send a teacup too.   She went above and beyond and needless to say, I could not wait to open my package when it arrived. It felt like Christmas opening up all those sweet packages. I am in love with my new tea cup! Isn't she a beauty? And of course I named her, "LADY LINDA" . Just look at all the sweet things that Lady Linda sent to me! Look at that precious Dress Dish Towel she made for me! So, so cute! It was so nice to make a new blogging friend and I truly do enjoy our exchanges. I was given Margie's name to ...
