{Sharing My Life}

  I've been enjoying drinking coffee from my new mug that was gifted to me for my birthday which was February 18th.  Every single treatment for cancer that I was given I would pray this scripture, quote this scripture and sometimes I put it in the form of a song. This verse ministered to me so many times and still does so needless to say this is my now new favorite coffee mug.  Speaking of birthdays, I was so very thankful to be able to celebrate another birthday with my family. My daughters carried me out to dinner and lavished me with lots of loves, sweet gifts and great food.  We sure have a great time together .   One of my nieces shares her birthday on the same date as me so she treated me to lunch. We have a very close relationship and she's just as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside.  My favorite dessert, strawberry cheese cake .  We also celebrated my sweet FIL for his 90th birthday.  Yesterday I had the privilege to go see Pe...

Tuesday Toots-Mason Jars, Burlap and Tin Cans!

Well I am getting ready for a bridal shower and wedding for one of my sweet nieces. Working on things along and along. It is all coming together nicely. Rustic, Burlap, and Lace--- you just gotta love!
 Mason Jars and Tin cans....Who would have THUNK IT! Sharing just a few things that SO FAR I have marked off my list!


These are going to make two little flower girls happy, happy, happy!



Ooh, loving me some tin cans! A little paint and some embellishments and you are good to go! Will look so cute with flowers and candles, don't ya think?

 Have quite a few left to do but they will be so cute for the bridal shower.


 This will look so cute with a pillar candle in it and maybe some embellishments on the candle...such as pearls.....


 Got lots of these mason jars to spice up for the wedding. But I just love how the simple burlap gives the jars a rustic feel.

 



 Started on the Wrist Corsages...Loving how they are tuning out so far!



Bouquet's are really turning out pretty!


I love the burlap, brown, and rhinestone! Just really added an extra touch to me!



Well, lets just say my kitchen looks like a Florist Corner right now!!!! Wildflowers, wildflowers and more wildflowers!


Lots of Mason jars yet to do....ooh, I still have the garter to make, the ring bearer pillow to make..the toasting (Mason Jar) glasses to embellish...WHAT AM I DOING BLOGGING TODAY????

    My you are being a busy bee. LOVE it all. You can't go wrong with burlap or Mason Jars. I am sure your niece is thrilled to have you doing these things for her. And I must say, I do, I do, I do love the rhinestone on the flowers.

    I do love these, I love mason jars myself and am always picking up different sizes when I find them at the thrift store. Have fun.
    BTW thank you for all your wonderful suggestions for my greeting cards, you had some great ideas that I will be using (love the idea of gift tags)

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...

{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...

{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...
