Hi friends! This post-holiday week has gotten away from me -- I hope you all enjoyed a lovely 4th of July weekend! We spent it with friends in Huntsville, AL, lounging beside their mountain-top pool, eating way too much good food, and loving on their three lively pooches. I sped home late Saturday so I could send my teen missionary on his way to Marvell, Arkansas. They're having a fantastic week of doing God's work in that small community and … [Read more...]

April 14, 2014 by · 3 Comments
Monday, monday -- and AGAIN with the rain on the way! Ugh... at least it will knock the pollen down a bit #thinkingpositive. The hubs and I traveled to Mississippi over the weekend to lay a cousin to rest. Though it was a sad occasion, I always love seeing my extended family and was treated to time with my dad, too. So it was a quick weekend, with not a lot getting done on the home front, but so it goes, right? I have not-so-great photos … [Read more...]

Hello, friends! I'm knee-deep in back to school for my crew this week, so it's been lame here and I apologize. My daughter is moving into an apartment this year, so every spare minute has been painting furniture for her space and shopping for deals for her. Last minute much?? Anyhoo, I'm sharing a project I completed before we left for the beach. I scored these four chairs at a big garage sale last fall. I knew I wanted to freshen … [Read more...]

Good Monday, everyone! I hope you had a super weekend -- we had almost no break from the rain, so I still have projects waiting in the wings.

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's back to work I go...Time sure flies when you're having fun and I did enjoy myself over Spring Break last week.

I still wrestle with fear every time my own children walk out the door. I want to put them all in a bubble where they'll be forever safe from the choices … [Read more...]

Well, you know what they say about the road to you-know-where... I had high hopes in the DIY department. I mean REALLY high hopes. I had a holiday weekend staring me in the face, with the hubs out of town, and DIY supplies galore at my fingertips. And then the armoire sold. This mac daddy armoire in my booth space. And then a couple of hours later, this bench sold... And there were big gaping holes in my booth. So I … [Read more...]
