{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...

Tuesday Toots-Yard sale Loot

It just so happened that I had a Doctor's appointment recently and could not pass up a yard sale or two...and the Goodwill!

Needless to say the first yard sale I stopped at was my kind of sale...CHEAP!


Three strands of pearls for $1. I love pearls. I not only wear them but I decorate with them as well. Just something about a stand of pearls to me that says....ELEGANT.

 I spied this deep purple table runner and when the girl said, "You can have it for 50 cents I snatched it up like it was my last meal!!!


 Cute pink vase for 25 cents...I like to pick up vases here and there as my mom loves fresh flowers and my sister and I try to keep her room adorned with flowers.Well, she loves plants PERIOD! Matter of fact we get tired of watering them! LOL!


Goodwill here I come!


Spied this cute little basket for 99 cents. I have already used it and see many uses to come!

And I just love these beautiful goblets. I have a set but for 99 cents each I grabbed these to add to my stash.


I just cannot pass up a Christmas Sleigh. And yes....I have quite a few stashed away but spotted this at another yard sale and guess what? Only 25 cents!



There is always what I call my REAL PRIZE of the day when yard sale or thrift store shopping and this cookie-candy jar was it for me! LOVE IT!

Isn't she pretty?

Paid a little more for her than I wanted too but I have so many pieces that she matches and well...you know the old saying...if we really want it we'll pay WHAT THEY WANT FOR IT!

This little feller rode with me on my window for about 30 miles before he disappeared. 


And no, I didn't try to snap his picture while driving. First of all I AIN'T that good...and second of all I AIN'T that STUPID! LOL!

In the meantime I am working on the outside of my little shed. Decided it needed to be gussied up a tad...


Got some planting I want to do in the front as well. Not sure if I want Boxwood or Indian Hawthorne...but deciding. In the meantime I do love my little plants on the windows though.


Hope you enjoyed my loot today. I have already have my cookie jar loaded with Debbie cakes! Hee-hee!
 

Have a great day!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{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...
