Check This Out!!!

Really! Go to the library and check this out or better yet, buy a copy of this for yourself because you're gonna love it THAT much! I read this book in 3 days! That's a record for me! This book is so FUN! You'll actually laugh out loud! No kidding! My husband would look over at me, when I laughed, like I was crazy!!! Well, I am, just a little but I'm telling you....it's GOOD! If you want to feel good, get energized and if you love lavander, then you'll love this. You'll be walking and talking and smelling lavander all the way through! And then... you'll wish you hadn't read it yet, so you can read it again! Go get it!

Martha is not here!!!!

I've been collecting "Blue Willow" for about 25 years now. I love it! I love watching old westerns because of the items you see while watching them. Old dishes, lace doilies, tablecloths and so on...... here are a few pictures of my home...come on in...nothing overly fancy, but this is me.

I found this lamp and shade at Dollar General! $12.00!

This is my quiet reading spot...currently reading ANYTHING Claire Cook! So funny!

My living room......my way!

My re-treat! My bedroom......

My cutie pie little OLD lamos I bought at a junk sale for $10.00 for the pair!!!!!! The wiring is so old, I was a fraid to plug them in! Aren't they adorable? Anyone know if they're worth anything?

Cupcake Boxes...I YI YI..!!!!!

So, this was my first EVER attempt at making little boxes...not bad.... But I started out making just 15 for my grandson Jordan and his little class, then realized that I have two other Grandchildren and it wouldn't seem fair to make them just for him. So.....after two weeks, I eneded up making 56 boxes!!!! I yi yi!!!! Never again......this was a big project for a newbie to scrapping! Not to mention the homemade cupcakes to go with them! I say never again, but if you're a grandma, you know that's a lie! :)

I want to thank my Grand-Daughter, Desi for helping me with this! She had her own little assembly line going! I wouldn't have finished in time without her help!

Valentine Quilt

Here's a Valentine quilt I made for a man who I looked to for fatherly love and advice for 25 years....I took to him as he lay at Hospice. It was a pleasure to lay this on him in his last hours. I'll NEVER forget the love he gave me all those years.

MMmmmm Buttercream!

Made a batch of cupcakes for my Grandson Jordan today....I tweeked the buttercream recipe and WOW did it turn out delicious!
