{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

Tuesday Toots with Valentine Decor

 I wanted to share my Valentine Tablescape and Valentine Tree with you. First let me say that I truly did not want to take my Christmas decor this year. I do believe if my hubby would have let me it would still be up! My 7 year grandson told me on Saturday that it wasn't Valentine's Day yet and I had Valentine's stuff up too early! LOL! Well, first of all he is a MALE...2nd of all...he is 7 years old. What do men and 7 year old's know...right? LOL! 

I couldn't decide this year if I wanted red or pink. Decided on a simple centerpiece with a few red roses.



And my "After Christmas Sale" heart ornaments which I love!
Had these little easels and decided to put my little hearts at each table setting. 


Remembered I had a couple of cute little Cherubs...Grandson calls them NAKED BABIES!


Simple place settings. Red charger, white plates and clear saucers/dessert plate with my Thrift store goblets that I love. Plain red napkin from my Christmas stash!


My red flatwear.



And what cute heart salt and pepper shakers! After Christmas sale at Cracker Barrel for a mere 30 cents! Was a Christmas markdown but made a cute Valentines treat for me!


Pretty little red heart stones just added an extra touch.

Simple


Was going to make chair covers but changed my mind and just kept telling myself...SIMPLE, SIMPLE, SIMPLE! LOL!


I wanted just a little something for my chandi and just so happened to have a couple of "After Christmas Sale" hearts.


Decided I would actually try to be creative a little so I took some music note paper and cut out hearts and placed them on some heart doilies I had! Needed a little something for my mirror you know?


Just enough for me!


Had some more music paper I used for crafts so decided to use this!


On this! Isn't it pretty on my milk glass plate?


Even though the words kept ringing...simple, simple, simple, I just love how these beautiful pieces add a touch of elegance.


I never tire of these pieces.



Yes, I do love my little white Christmas tree and my red heart ornaments. Another after Christmas Sale purchase!




Forgot to put my lights on it!!! Oh well...Easter is next right? But I do love the finish look.


And I must say that my new favorite piece this year has to be my little gold hearts! Just wanted to give you one more look at them....hee-hee!



I hope you have enjoyed my Valentine Day Tablescape. I've been enjoying it for several weeks already! My Grandson will really think I am "out in left field" when I put my Easter Tablescape up the day after Valentine's Day won't he?


Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  7. Oh I love those naked babies! lol! Cindy, the whole table is just perfect. I often buy after Christmas items that can be used for Valentines. I have some of those little glass hearts and they add just a sweet touch. Grandsons are so fun! My 3, soon to be 4 year old grandson looked at my dried Hydrangeas the other day and said, "Grammy, these flowers are rere, rere old". That's how he says really. All I could say is, "I know, Grammy likes them that way".
    hugs,

  8. By about the 2nd pciture you'd lost your "simple" mantra and you were off to create a beautiful table, Cindy. I do love the milkglass plate with the music on it, and those ruby-rimmed cups are beautiful! Loved your not-so-simple but oh-so-pretty table and other touches. :) ~Zuni

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

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget
