{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

Love me some Friday Favs.....With so much talent out there it is hard to pick just a few things each week to show...Hope you enjoy my favs for this week.

I spotted this and thought it was the cutest idea! It is called a School Supply Caddy but would be a great idea for those that love to do crafts or for the kids/grandkids play room.



LOVE this idea! A Table from pallet's



Now I just want you to look at this! A Santa hat valance!


You have got to take the time to look at this site. It has the cutest ideas for Christmas gifts for friends with sayings!



And awe for the sewer's! Fabric scrap bunting ideas!



I made this Mexican Casserole about a week ago. It was GREAT! The only thing I done different was I added some black beans and saved the chips and we crushed them on our casserole after it was cooked. Of course I did add a dash of hot sauce and sour cream to mine! GREAT


Oh I love this tablescape! Aren't the dishes just lovely?

    Love the Friday Favorites today. My favorite might be the pallet table. I saw a brand new pallet in the dumpster the other day, and I wanted it so bad. But I was in my car and didn't think it would fit in there even if I could dig it out.

    Fabric Bunting and Pallet Shelf are my faves of your faves this week. My bedroom is in a country theme with brick reds and country blues. Unfortunately, my breaker box is on the bedroom wall in a weird place. That pallet shelf would be perfect to cover it. Need to check into that.
    Have a blessed weekend.

    Someone has Christmas on her brain! :) I love the caddy idea and that would be easy to set up pretty quickly. I may have to make one next time my nephew is over. He is the only one who still likes to craft with me. :)

    Hugs,

    Hi Cindy,
    What wonderful ideas! My DIL used the pallet idea to hang on the wall and arranged her special plates in it; very cute! I love the last quote too. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.

{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...

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...

{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 ...
