Darlings.. I take no credit for anything here other than finding the picture of the
 tea party.
In my catching up (is that at all possible?)
I came across this sweet little spot.
I am always saving glass jars
and this project will be a good
one for Halloween. 
Break out the oarnge paint!
Gather up the glass jars!
and lets make it happen!

why is everything sooo expensive?

I love Fall!  So in my need to start embracing the change of season

I went to Michaels to get a peek at some of the fall foliage.

One of the wreaths had a price tag of $69.00!  Please!!

I am not a professional floral designer but I knew I could

produce a lovely design without heavy cost.

I hope you like it.  It was fun, relaxing and cheap.

I had to get the 3.00 plaque at Ross's since I

was in their neck of the woods.  I know it's a bit early for the Halloween

thing but it was just too cute to pass up.

Pier One redo

Looks so nice in my fruit room with all the browns

a sweet brown stool on the cheap

Purchased these foot stools for 20.00 dollars each.  They got a choclate redo.  Much to my surprise I found  they were originally from pier one.  I love them.  They'll provide a nice touch in my fruit room as a foot stool and for extra seating outside for an impromtu glass of wine or picnic.

Hello my sweet sweet readers...friends....and comrads in mischeif!  I am so excited of late!  I'm doing  on-line classes...working full-time and making lots and lots of time for my grand-darlings.  My new job is a very busy and exhausting one...it involves 10 little people daily who look to me to feed...love...teach...and change their diapers.  Talk about walking angels/devils!!  They are so smart and so busy!!
As far as my crafting I have been keeping it simple.  I've been making those adorable fuufuu flops.  It's easy, quick and totally relaxing!! I will post soon a "How to do it" tutorial.  Hopefully ya'll will forgive my lack of posting in return.  You better get out there and get those flops on the cheap...Wall-mart has some for 2.50 but the Dollar Genrals boast lovely colors and styles for a buck!!  I sell them for about 12.50 for adult pairs and 9.50 for the little people.  I just sold a pair this past week.
To Say I am happy that spring is fast approaching is an understatement.  We have plans to go on a Weekend Family camping tripas soon as crab season hits.  It will be a first for my youngest grand-darling.  Our Lab will enjoy the water again too as this was his first exposure as a baby on how to swim.  My hubby and I were worse than new parents then.  We allowed just about 3 ruler lengths between us so he could swim to me or his daddy.  It was here too our lovely lab learned to go up and down the big-boy steps.  Now he's boundless and fears nothing when it comes to the water!! He can even go under the water face first to snag a stick!!!
Keep me on your friend list as I enjoy so much the contact.  I love all of you dearly and look forward too a wonderful spring and summer of creativity, frienship and smiles. 

I like being Nosey but I often wonder.

I like looking at what other bloggerrettes have and love in their homes.
Often while browsing at all of the lovely blogs
I am heart-struck.  The beauty, uniqueness and talent
takes my breath away and makes my heart jump.  I will also admit that I get very
jealous ... but in a good way.  I'm always thinking ... how brilliant ... or ...
how did they come up with that ?... or ... why can't I come up with stuff like that?

I want so much to simulate and still remain true to "me" and
my flavor or style.  In other words ... not everything I own
is Pink or white.  Yet I will confess everything is "my touch".
I mean .... who puts a blue enamal pan on the stove and
fills it with surgar so hubby can turn on the burner and
accidently cook it? 

Sometimes when  I go into other peoples homes (and not in
blog-land homes either) I wonder if maybe I should conform
to "normal standards".  I question my confidence in decorating
my home.  You know ... the shabby stuff...the gently used stuff...
the unfinished mess stuff I always seem to have laying around the house.
But then I come to you ... my many bloggerettes...and I get a swift kick in the pants...
and I can hear all of you saying "girl" you gotta be you!! you gotta do what
your heart dictates."  Kindred spirits are like that ... they put things in perspective.
Thank you my dears for keeping me straight "sigh"........
