{It's A New Beginning Y'all}

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

{Living the Good Life} and WINNER of "Gideon book"

Ooh don't you just love pretty nail polish? I do for sure. I have several boxes full of different colors of nail polish so my grandgirl Mallory picked out a few colors and placed them in the basket. But it wasn't to do my nails ....instead.... M y FEET! My grandgirl Mallory loves to do a pedi and this Nana was thrilled when she wanted to do a pedi for me!

It's time for a beach tablescape! Well I am going to go ahead and confess that I am more of your mountain kind of gal and in the winter months but there is just something about the beach that calls my name..... I started out with a centerpiece with some mason jars! You just gotta love a mason jar! I actually bought this at AC MOORE and you can use it for so many different things. It came with chalkboard tags to use if you wanted too. Just a few seashells and some flowers and I was good to go.  I love these plates I bought from Walmart. They are so summery looking. Found the cute place mats at the Dollar Tree.  I couldn't believe I found the color of blue I was looking for with the stainless steel flatware at Walgreen's.   And it was on SALE !!!! My kind of purchase! It didn't take me long to come up with a simple tablescape with the pretty blues, greens and yellows. And these goblets will always be my favorite to use. I had to hunt...
