{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

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...

{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 ...
