{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

Got several toots today I'd like to share with you. Coming back home from  a weekend trip to Ga. we stopped by a Dollar General or Family Dollar. (Can't remember which one it was) Had to have some coffee for that night!!!! 
Anyway.....not only did they have my coffee and but had a bin of items marked 50% off. 

 These little birdies was marked down to 50 cents each!


Isn't she lovely for $1.00?


This cutie was my fav....I think I paid $1.75 for this.

Couldn't pass this up either for a couple of bucks!

Grabbed this basket up in a hurry for $2.00


Of course I love me some Cracker Barrel and I always head straight for the clearance table!

Loved this light house and really loved it when it was marked down to $6


Here is how I displayed a few of my goodies.

Recently I showed you this small bakers rack that I
 got for $8.


Spray painted it yellow and now it displays some of my goodies on my front porch!





Thanks for visiting my Tuesday Toots and hop over to Diann's at The Thrifty Groove for a fun giveaway!

    Love all the treasures you found! I just want to know though where you store all this as you are constantly changing your decor. Or do you get rid of it?

    LOL Cindy! You and your "toots"! What fun - and what a deal on your new porch spread!! You are a wealth of creative decor ideas on the cheap!

    ALso - have to comment on the post just before this - WHAT - the logs and greenery with lights in the crate??? YES - happening at my house this year. And, I happen to have ready access to lots of logs after the derecho hit us this week. My hometowon is a mess and power still out in many places, but there are logs aplenty for happier decorating days ahead!

    Love birds. Your display looks so pretty on your yellow rack. I have One Thousand Gifts on my Kindle. After seeing the book jacket, I wish I had purchased the "real book"

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 yard

{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
