{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...

Let's Talk Thursday-Part 2

I should have named this post "2nd round of questions and answers". But it's so fun to do this with bloggers as it gives us a way to get to know one another better doesn't it? If you missed my first round of questions see post http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2014/05/talk-to-me-thursday.html

So let's get started....

Have you always had short hair?

No. Actually I had long hair for a long time. Matter of fact at one point it was almost down to my behind! But as I begin to cut it I kept getting shorter and shorter! NOW, I love my maintenance free short hair to be honest!




Do you really wear makeup and jewelry when deer hunting with your husband?

YES! You never know who might be looking at you! AND....If I get me a big old Buck I gotta look for my picture now don't I?

I even have some bling on my boots!


And a camo tube of lipstick!


Would you rather watch television or read in your spare time?

I would rather read. I would be willing to say that I probably watch no more than 4 hours of television a week and that is stretching it. I am just not your average television person. It has to be a really good show or movie. When I do have the time my favorite thing to watch is the cooking shows (Rachel Ray my fav) or NCIS...YEP...a Gibbs fan! When I am not teaching in depth Bible Study classes is when I really like to READ! Right now I am reading "The Power of Praying for your Adult Children" and have two others waiting on me! Love to read!



Would you consider yourself to be more laid back or somewhat hyper? LOL! I tend to be HYPER there is no doubt. However, age has a way of slapping the hyper right out of ya!

Is there a state or country that you would like to visit? 

There's quite a few places I'd like to go to be honest. But I am a TRUE Homebody at heart. About 3-5 days of being gone is good for me and I began to long for my BED! There is no place like home. But in answer to the question, yes, I would love to go to Hawaii one day.

Is there something that truly gets under your skin? Give answer to the first thing that comes to mind.

Ooh....I didn't have to think about this one long at all. In all honesty the one thing that tends to get under my skin is when I see, hear and sense people being selfish. I don't mean necessarily with money or gifts but I am just talking about being PURE out ALL ABOUT THEMSELVES!

The dictionary defines selfishness as:
self·ish
devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others.
characterized by or manifesting concern or care only for oneself: selfish motives.

Since you have taught women in a Bible Study setting for years what is the one thing that you see many women struggle with?

In all honesty, I see women struggle with being who God created them to be. So many women tend to compare themselves to others and their measuring stick is based on someone else. In essence if we want to compare ourselves to anyone it needs to be Christ. Our goal as Christians should be to become more Christ-like daily and not more like so and so. We should have a desire to mimic others with the good qualities of the Christian life for sure. But we cannot be another person!
Women...with all our flaws and failures....was created by God Himself. We are to simply be ourselves.

  3. Hi Cindy!
    Well, I just totally enjoyed myself with this post! I love to hear more about other bloggers. I too, love your camo bling. But, I really loved your answer to the last question. I know I have fallen into that category of 'comparing" myself to other women. thinking I should be like them. That is when I have to step back and regain a perspective of who I truly am.
    I hope you have a wonderful day! Hugs, Diann :)

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 ...
