{Hello friends}

  Hoping this finds my sister bloggers doing well on this windy Sunday afternoon. Yep, we've got a little wind howling around here and a tad cool but I am enjoying a lazy afternoon. My Sunday lunch crowd (my family) have left for the day so I am kicked back. Sunday menu today consisted of: Chicken and dressing Giblet gravy Italian green beans with ham Mac & Cheese Homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache.  Yep, they are little spoiled at Nana's house. I am not a huge fan of cakes with icing but it must have been good as one of the grands had two slices.  These gals and I have been friends for more years than I remember and since we've all retired within a few months apart in retirement and age (dating back to 4th grade in school) we try to get together once every 4-6 weeks. We always do something extra for our birthdays but was a tad late celebrating mine this year together due to other appointments that was a must. We always have a gr...

Happy Monday!

Well I must say I've had a great weekend. A busy one but a good one. I got to see my oldest grandgirl make a goal in her soccer game on Saturday and then that night I was privileged to be the guest speaker for a Mother-Daughter banquet at a nearby church and then a great Mother's Day on Sunday. I hope that you had a wonderful Mother's Day too. After being pampered with cards, flowers, Bath and Body, gift cards for a massage, pedi and facial I think I am liking having grown daughters that knows what their mama likes! 



I have a few more Laundry room things to show you today. You all have been so sweet to be a part of my Laundry room makeover!

Remember this picture? Well my cabinets did not need anything done to them but a good cleaning. So my goal was to place little items I loved on top of the cabinet.


 Spray painted this basket yellow. I found this cute bottle at Walmart marked down to 75 cents and added some blue fabric softener.


 Talked my youngest daughter out of the C sign since her last name no longer begins with a C. Old bottle vase I had stored and a yard sale basket I painted blue.
Worked for me!




Before picture.



Spray painted the shelf white and then replaced the items on the shelf with these items. You just can't beat decorative bottles and jars.



And this...You can't go wrong with a basket of any kind!


Don't you just love my clock! Found this cutie at Ross.



Awe...had to have this! It is my life story...I am simply a product of God's Amazing Grace!


I am happy with how these little items came together.


Spray painted these two frames.



Took a little of the chevron paper I had left and then the definition of laundry and it turned out really cute.


Some more little laundry signs for this frame....


Found this jar at Ross......

And this one.......


Had this cute little bucket with burlap on it....



 Found two floating shelves at a yard sale for $4 so I spray painted them white and here ya go.



Remember my new little white bench I showed to you?



 Found these cute pillows at Walmart for $5 each. Amazing what a splash of color will do!


Loving my new laundry room! Think I will just sit on the bench a while and think about the pictures of my grandbabies that I want to do for this....



Old picture frame spray painted blue with twine. I have the little miniature clothes pins to hang their pictures with too! So cute....


See ya soon with the last of the Laundry room!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    I'm so glad you had a great weekend! It's good to be pampered once in awhile! Your laundry room is so pretty. I love the old frame with the twine for your grandbabies' pictures. That's a great idea. I wish my little laundry room had a bit more room but I'm happy to have it. My cousin had to go outside (In the winter rains) for several years to do her laundry in the garage. There was no door from the garage into her home - so how can I complain? Have a great week, dear friend.

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...
