About Me

My photo
Mysteries, polka dots, California Rolls, TJ Maxx, cozy blankets, rainy days and getting the first spoonful of peanut butter out of the jar make me smile. Spiders, rude people, cold fingers and toes, baby leashes, people that don't wrap their packages before going to the Post Office, poison ivy and Math (pretty much all of it) make me want to scream. My perfect day would be spent with my wonderful husband and sweet girls- watching movies in our jammies! Of course, having the movie theater to ourselves would be great, too. Please pass the popcorn and M&M's.:) I am saved by the grace of God. He is my constant companion and hears my every prayer. What a blessing! I'd love to hear from you!

you done so far? Do share! It feels
good to get things done!

Vintage Garden Bloooms

My Nancy Drew buddy, Molly, is one sweet

Sherri's Jubillee

My sweet friend, Sherri, is a true kindred
spirit. She loves to read and design jewelry!
We often talk about how fun it would be if we
were next door neighbors...
Let me show you some of the beautiful
jewels Sherri has created...


I love everything she makes, but this pair
of earrings makes me think of Ireland.
Stunning!
These pretties are ready for a
Girls' Night Out!

Peacock and Posy earrings (below)

Stop by Sherri's shop and look at all
her lovely treasures. She designs rings,
too! Thanks so much, Sherri!

A Pocket Full of Posies

My lovely friend, Jill, has helped me realize
how much I adore color. Her blog is truly filled
with JOY!

She shares so many wonderful ideas as well as
her love for the Lord. What a blessing she is!

Are you swooning yet?


Jill has sweetly offered this gorgeous butterfly
pin to our winner. I'm happy just looking at it!

tomorrow (Thursday) morning at 12:01 AM!
Be sure to keep track of all the tasks you
complete. Then send me your total on
Wednesday, the 30th before midnight!***

My dear friend, Amy, from Life in Pink
Hi Tops, is an absolute treasure. She is an
amazing cook, fabulous seamstress, and the
most wonderful friend. Look what she made
for her husband's birthday!

She is also quite the brave soul. This
"little critter" found it's way into her backyard.
Not sure if she took the picture, though. Oh
my...

Amy has generously offered a wonderful prize
from her shop to our BINGO winner! Before I
show you what it is, take a peek at some of her
creations. They are part of her $5 sale! Yes, $5!

A lovely pink Eye Soother- great for headaches!

Darling handmade bag! Perfect for a trip to the
Farmer's Market...

How about a patriotic red, white and blue
apron! Love the colors and the length! Our
winner will be able to enjoy this on the
4th of July and all year round!

See the pink hi tops? Love them! Be
sure to check out Amy's shop and blog.
You'll be glad you did.:)

Thanks Amy, for your darling apron! I plan on
wearing the one you sent me this 4th of July!
Love it!

Does this count as a fruit?

Tonight I had these. Not the whole box- I stopped
at 2. Of course, the night is young. Pina Colada on a stick.
120 calories.:)

My girls made these. Make some with your
kiddos and your kids will think you are a genius.

Mine did!
Even tweens like them.

Mini chocolate chips are necessary.

Wal Mart chocolate chip cookies- $1. Perfect.

The girls are having such fun with their Silly
Bandz. $1 a pack at Wal Mart. 2 have broken but the
rest are prized possessions. They are meeting new people
through trading and they get compliments on their
"bandz" everywhere they go. From adults- not kids. Bet
they wish they had them years ago.

is simple, see how many tasks you can accomplish in one
week. Whoever does the most wins! (If there is a tie I
will randomly draw a winner.)

send it to you via e-mail! I had so much fun thinking
of activities for you-and me! I will be playing along,
too!:)

No Bingo game is complete without prizes,
right? Be sure to keep track of all the squares you
complete (I use stickers) and then e-mail me your final
number completed by midnight next Wednesday,
the 30th. I can't wait to see who the winner is!
We will start the game this Thursday, the 24th.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the three men I love most in the world....

My Dad is so much fun, always ready to try anything, a gifted musician and carefree! Love you, Dad.:)

I love the relationship that Jeff and my Dad have together. They are like
two
little boys- always up to something!

Grandpa John is wonderful! I can't imagine what would happen if we got
these guys together- the Three Amigos!:) He is game to try anything once,
loves the outdoors and still loves me. tee hee... Love you, John.

My sweetie, Jeff, is always there for me. He is such a good sport living
with 3 girls (Ruby makes 4!), he knows how to make me laugh and even
helps me with my blog! There is nothing he can't do- except order at the
drive-thru window.:) Love you, Sweetie. You are the best.




Happy Father's Day!!!
