Have a joy-filled weekend!

He pursues Me!

Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.

He lets me rest in green meadows;

He leads me beside peaceful streams.

He renews my strength.

He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.

Even when I walk through the darkest valley,

I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.

Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.

You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life,

And I will live in the house of the LORD forever.

 

 

Have a joy-filled weekend!

Painted Black

I'm trying to change how I prepare for the annual Christmas Arts & Crafts Show that I participate in. Rushing around like a crazy person, getting little sleep, and being frustrated at my lack of production needs to be a thing of the past!  To that end, I spent Saturday and Sunday evenings trying to make a dent in my "things to make" list.  I recently shared some "supplies" in this blog post. I spent some time painting a few of them...plus some other pieces I didn't share.

I used Martha Stewart's Satin craft paint for the first time.  I LOVE it! 

It goes on so smooth and the coverage is awesome!!

Only problem now is talking myself out of keeping some of the pieces!! 

I'm especially fond of the "cracker tray"...it looked just like THIS ONE when I started.

I also painted this larger, handled tray.  A perfect display for your pearls!

What!? You don't have any pearls!  Well, honestly, if I was planning on keeping this piece I would fill it with eggs right now, then some little pots of flowers, maybe apples in Autumn, and definitely some vintage ornaments when Christmas came around.  I'd have to pick a nice wintry display too...but I really don't want to think about Winter right now!

Not only did I do some painting....I did some gluing too!!

Stay tuned....



Little Green Box

I found this green box at the thrift store this week.  

It's little...that's what I like most about it!

I thought about putting some kind of label on top of it.

Then I remembered this knob.  

I do believe it is the perfect touch!

I used a nail to punch a hole in the lid, and then I screwed on the knob. I LOVE IT!!

It's the perfect place to store old watch parts.

Tomorrow my daughters and I are headed to "The Barn Show" and a community 

yard sale at a local middle school.  

Oh I love this time of year!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

It's Friday!!

I love Friday...mostly because it's the day before Saturday. 

Saturday is my favorite day!!

I think we should celebrate Saturdays.  Stop back next week...maybe Monday or

Tuesday...and we will.  We'll celebrate with a GIVEAWAY.  Just because.....

In the meantime.....have a great Friday AND Saturday!!!



Happy Weekend!

all received one blessing after another."

 

 

Have a joy-filled weekend!

 



So glad it's Friday....

It's been a crazy week.  I've totally lost  my marbles!

Too much to do...not enough time to do it!!

I need a vacation!*

 

Yes, I've lost my marbles for sure....but when I find them,

I'm going to put them in one of these!

Because it looks so cute!

 

They (the marbles) look good sitting on the little glass flower frogs too! 

 

 

Have a Happy Weekend!!!!

Oh, Happy February 1st too!

 

*...and I'm getting one real soon! 

 



 



Fun in the Fall

I'm still not real good at taking photos on bright sun shiny days...so my color is off in these a bit....but they do a great job of showing off all the fun we had at the pumpkin farm!!  We rode a tractor out to the pumpkin patch...did some sliding...hid in a tire...picked some pumpkins...strolled through the corn maze...did a little growing...and fed a few goats.  I'm not sure who had more fun.  The big people or the little people??

 

Here we are....all of us except for Kevin.  He had school work to get done.  Even I'm in the photo. Well sorta...that's my shadow down in the lower right corner.  It kind of blends in with the pumpkins!

Chillin'

Riding out to the pumpkin patch.

Growing tall.

 

 

After the fun fall festivities we headed to Cracker Barrel for dinner.  Here I am (looking wind blown and worn out) sitting at the kiddie table.  The other seven adults are enjoying their meal at a table behind me....how did that happen?  Or yeah...this gramma volunteered to sit with the little ones.  And I loved every minute of it!

 

 

It was a very good day!

Have a Great Weekend
