Love/Hate

Do you have a love/hate relationship? Well meet mine, he knows how to give me a guilt trip. I had some minor knee surgery last summer and couldn't exercise for months, per doctor orders. Yes thats right my doctor said no exercise......and of course I said no problem. I have always exercised but I am not one of those people that will tell you I enjoy it because that would be a big lie. Well then summer turns into fall and around that time I can start back but my excuse its getting close to the holidays and I am soooo busy well a few pounds later ( 12 to be exact) time to get back on Mr.Treadmill. The love part comes when I'm finished for the day ! On another note my brother checked out my blog today and was amazed I am in the 21st century he has a degree in computer something or the other so he's so smart about computers so watch out lil brother I may become a computer whiz (LOL) don't worry your jobs safe. Take care everyone and have a blessed day............Barb

My Cute Silver Trays

I completed this project of some old silver trays that I have had forever with a little blackboard paint some cute french country black and white plaid ribbon, new dining room decor very cheap. Very fast, easy and oh so cute. My daughter is trying to steal these for her house so I must start searching my local goodwill and flea markets for some cheap silver trays. Of course I saw this on another talented bloggers site and knew I had do this for my dining room. Also I have to show your my newest little find a shabby tin french looking vase that I bought for a few dollars I think it will find a home on my coffeetable with some fresh flowers. Now its off to the dreaded treadmill to walk take care.............Barb

Today 0ur sunday school lesson on Joshua 2:1-4 ,12-14 and one of the questions was how will 2009 turn out? In the face of uncertainty it's up to each of us to decide whom to trust. Well that got me thinking....I am human and make my share of daily mistakes but for 2009 Christ is whom I need to trust and try each day to be a better person . Because right at this moment I am dealing with a cranky toddler (Rachel had to run to the hospital to visit a friend) and this is testing me. Have a wonderful day. (Also can someone tell me how to keep photos with the blog?)

Pink Saturday

I am amazed at how talented you ladies all are, and how you can find so many beautiful treasures to show on pink Saturday every week.I love the color pink it one of my fav colors but I don't seem to have much of it in my home.I have a french country,tuscan theme more to my home alot of golds,yellows,reds and greens.I hope to be able to share some photos soon as we just painted the living room restrained gold from SW and I am staining the concrete floor a tuscan color.My photo if its working right is my grandson Jace at a Little Rock Police Department party (husband is an officer) where they had a snow village set up if you look very close you can see some pink lights on the trees I swear,and of course he has the rosy pink cheeks all the time.May you all have a blessed day and the lord keep you safe.

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Friday to all,hope you had a wonderful week.Today I am cleaning my home, doing laundry and trying to decide what to cook.I have been reading some of your blogs about family photos I wish I could add one but I am waiting for my youngest daughter to help me.If you don't know yet I don't know how to download and post photos yet.I got my first digital camera for christmas and learning to use it .It reminds me of the saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks but this 47 year old is learning new tricks.I will pick up my grandson this afternoon from his school he always spends Friday night with me, so I am off to the store to pick up more milk and some extra snacks for him.

Bargains

I am so happy I have been wanting some Martha Stewart glitter but being the cheap bargain hunter that I am I just kept visiting it every time I went to Walmart and leaving without it.Well guess what? I was walking by a shopping cart in the craft department and they has some christmas items in it for 50% off. My eyes could not believe what I saw Martha Stewart glitter (frosty gingerbread pack and winter snows and antique silver) well I was in heaven because this southern girl loves her glitter and bargains. Now to come up with some cute craft projects if you have any ideals please feel free to share them with me.

Long Day

Today was a crazy,busy day at work. I was off work alot the last couple of weeks for the holidays and did not want to go back.Why oh why was I not born wealthy, (LOL). My neck and shoulders have been aching for three days now can ,we say tension and stress not to mention we pulled the carpet up in the living room and I am staining the concrete and its hard work and I sure thats not helping my sore neck.On another note I feel God is working on a prayer I have been praying about I will explain in future posts. I just finished glittering a project and I am proud how it turned out hopefully I can show a photo when I learn how to jazz up my blog.
