{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

The only good thing about me having to drive 30 miles or more for a Doctor's appointment is getting to stop by a few Thrift stores. I think I scored pretty good!


This tea pot picture frame was the first thing I saw that caught my eye! I loved it. It had never been taken out of the box and all for $1.99!  



Just could NOT pass up more white napkins especially Fieldcrest as they are such a good sturdy napkin. Usually their brand of plain napkins cost around $9 for 4. Got 8 of them for $2.99. Now did I need them????? WELL if you ask my man he will say NO! But CINDY said YES!


 I feel in love with this hurricane jar.The picture does not do it justice. $2.99! I thought it was steel!


Couldn't pass up this cute little gravy boat for 99 cents either! You can ALWAYS use WHITE!

 
These little candle holders was adorable. Especially when I got both for $1.00.




Just simple little rings...but I see napkins rings!!!!! Doll these little cuties up and they will be good to go. 15 or 79 cents.

And my BEST prize of the day...........

You guessed it! PLATES.......



8 of these pretties for $4.99! They are really pretty. Trimmed in silver and has the little indention on them where you could place a tea cup if you wanted too.






I think I done pretty well don't you? Now here is the secret...DO NOT TELL MY MAN I have these plates! He has threatened to call Dish Alcoholics to me!

Decided to use a piece of material and had just enough to make a little skirt bottom attach to a tank top for the youngest grandgirl. (Yep, I done that when I was suppose to be sleeping)

 I love the Chevron prints and rick rack!

 Decided to embellish the tank top just a tad to match the skirt.


She had to have a hair bow to match so found one that matched great at non other than good old Wally World...


She is going to look so stinking cute with this little outfit on.


Got a little black and white dress almost finished for another grandgirl. Simple but cute!

My Blue Plumbago is so pretty....

Have a great Tuesday! See you tomorrow with some Wednesday in the Word....


Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  2. You have been busy, girl! I'm jealous over your thrifty finds but that little dress you made is gorgeous!! She will look so cute it it!!! When you get the other one done don't forget to post it. I don't have Grands yet but am pinning cuties for when I do! Love your flowers. I had some hydrangeas that looked a lot like those last year but they haven't bloomed this summer. They look healthy enough, though. You have a wonderful week, Cindy!!

  6. DOn't know what I am going to do with all these talented friends! I love the little dress idea! I hope to have my work area set up by fall or winter and do some sewing. Of course the reading will get tossed by the way side! Thanks for sharing all your treasures too! I have to stay away from thrift stores. I would never get my house decluttered! :)

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...
