Break out the paints!

 While trying to reorganize a spare room, I came across my paints and some canvas. Since I didn't want to go outdoors because it humid as all get out, I decided to grab them and see what transpires. 

Using bubble wrap and paints, I created my base. From here I want to enlist a few scrapbook papers, gesso, maybe ink a few stamps, some wooden pieces, who knows! 



To be continued ....

Baking time!

Some days I get the itch to bake! If I'm making the mess, I'm doing it right. Sunday it was chocolate chip cookies, and yesterday I baked pumpkin dog biscuits and chocolate chip pumpkin bread! Notice a pattern here. 😉 


Yep, jumped on the pumpkin bandwagon early this year because I'm ready for cooler temps and some rain to green up this brown countryside. It looks nasty! I'm finding all these cute decoration ideas for Fall and Halloween, and tossing in a few Holiday ones as well! 🌲

Have a good day -

Good morning!


 Our weather has been extremely HOT for our area and my poor plants have really struggled this year. While working in the yard yesterday to clear out the "expired" plants, and clean up my garden, I found these have survived!  The hydrangeas were from a plant that once adorned the table for the rehearsal dinner we had for my son and his lovely wife. They actually celebrate their 23rd anniversary in two days! Happy Anniversary kids! 💘

Time to get some housework caught up. Was going to go outside and work more in the yard, but it's already warming at 9:08am and it's going to heat up fast again today. Personally, I'm a 75 degrees individual and could do without 90+ degree days ... just sayin' ... catch ya later!

Life ... it can get CRAZY!

Once again my poor blog has been a bit lonely. The older I get, the faster time goes on, or so it seems! We have been so BUSY! Heck, in just over three weeks, our oldest granddaughter will be on her way to her freshman year of college! How can that be?! 

Speaking of my granddaughter, here we are at her graduation. So much to be happy about! She'll be heading to school 8 hours from home, but since she'll be on the softball team, hopefully she'll get to travel with them her first year and we'll be able to see her play at the area colleges. If not, she'll be home a few times, and we can always venture her way. 😁



I knew this was going to be short, but my start-up day for the school year is in three short weeks, and I have LOTS to get done before then! So outta here for now!

Godspeed
