Crafty Days


It has been so long since I have enjoyed doing crafts, but after viewing this site....http://www.favecrafts.com/ ...I have been bitten by the "craft bug"...I have sent this site to my sister and friends who also revel and delight in crafting....


I also came across a free recycling crafts ebook on this site ....http://www.moneysavingmom.com/ how green is this....


My sister got me started on scrapbookking....I am making a scrapbook of the memories of my son Jonny....it is a slow process...so many memories....when I am done I will make one for my son Brandon, we have so many new memories to make...you do not realize all the aspects of your children's lives until you view all the pictures....

    I just read a post about getting started on scrapbookking on a blog called Imperfect Women. I'd love to start doing that for my grandkids! I don't know if I could do it for my kids (I have five and the oldest is 35!), I think starting now with the grandkids so young (only 4 and 2) will be much easier!

    Thanks for sending me that site! I loved that idea of the tea cup topiary!

    Good luck with your scrapbook! Keep me posted on your progress!

Summertime, Garage Sales and Flea Markets

Summertime is here and I have been to a local flea market....I had a garage sales the Saturday before Memorial Day to get rid of the old and bring in the new.....or "new to me"..... I found burlap, a picture frame, window sheers, home decor, three accent pillows to go with the new bedspread in the master bedroom....and much, much more.....I even found a free-standing garden trellis for $15.00, original price was $112.00.....looks great in the garden....I have not decide what viney flower I will grow, yet....All in all I spent $30.00 including the trellis... I am still looking for more window treatments for the master bedroom, but there are more garage sales and flea markets out there waiting for me.....Happy Hunting everyone...

Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

We all have talents. Some are veiled and some are in the open. I have several friends that helped me get through the first few days after Jonny's accident. Lynne helped with the logistics of getting the memorial organized, and driving me to see my son Brandon to tell him the tragic news. Crystal gathered the pictures and the stories of Jonny with me, his brother, his family, and his friends to decorate the display board. Peggy and Ruth were able to comfort me, with their empathetic abilities, having similar losses. My sister and Mom, comforting me and only wishing the plane from Florida brought them sooner. My friend Debbie, whose comforting words, caring and the ability to know what else I needed, such as bringing a wonderful stew, to nourish us and keep my strength up. The list goes on and on. The talents and kindness continues....all of these people were put into my life at different times and different areas. I know that God put them into my life for a reason...I am forever gra...

Sanguine 4. Melancholy I have not only read this book and taken the personality test years ago, but I had the privilege in going to a church Woman's conference and Florence was the guest speaker in 1996. She is an excellent speaker, and the book is quite interesting. I have taken several personality test, through the years either in school or through work. I have read "Please Understand Me II" by David Keirsey about temperament, character and intelligence and "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton, PhD. These books are interesting, informative, thought provoking and motivating. They not only tell you about your personality, but about those around you. They teach you about other's personalities. It teaches about diversity of pe...
