{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...

Thursday Tidbits

Yep, another party I am helping with by doing a few centerpieces so wanted to share. Theme is football and of course my favorite colors...red and black. 


Simple but cute....Red and Black Coffee cups, a little tissue paper but mostly red and black paper napkins served as fillers. A carnation tucked here and there and a football made the centerpiece complete.


Love how the pop corn boxes turned out so cute...

Have you I told you that I LOVE me a Mason Jar?



Got other things ready to go such as a GUESTS sign in board with footballs. Tag Football....guests will sign a football and tag the board! 




This will be displayed on an easel with cut out footballs and pens so guests can sign and tag the board.



Had to stop and at least get my little 2 ft white tree gussied up with some red, white and blue...


My tea tray is perfect for my little white tree....

  The grands loves Nana's white tree. They look forward to seeing what will be on it next?


Got to get started on my July 4th tablescape....just doesn't seem to be enough time to do what is needed much less what is wanted at times. Praise the Lord that He did not give us anymore than 24 hours in a day....WE WOULD PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT if He did! 

Have a great day.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Cindy, the little tree has served you well. I am buying me one after Christmas this year! I do love the football centerpieces but would rather see them in garnet and gold! LOL!

    Cindy!!

    I LOVE your patriotic Tree but i know you knew that i would!!!

    My youngest son and his girlfriend keep their LR Tree up year round and they asked me if I had a Small tree for their bedroom so i gave them a 3 foot potted Tree that was not being used at Christmas by my oldest son as he got another one. My youngest son said he loves the lights and Danielle says it is Jim who lights the tree every night!! You can tell he is my son, huh??
    I shared your post on Google +
    Thanks for you your visits!! I also love your centerpieces!!

    Hugs,
    Deb

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...
