Ceiling Art

Have you heard of it?  Ceiling Art, it's in dentist's and doctor's offices to gaze at as you are lying there.  WELL ~ we got us some ceiling art on Monday!  Lovely, don't you thing? 

Pinterest!

Pinterest and blogs may be the best and worst thing I've ever discovered!!!  Got up on this Labor Day and decided to labor little bit.  I have a big event at church on Sat. and we leave for the beach on Sunday.  I have lots to do.  Not to mention my house is a wreck!!!  

So I decide to sit down with my coffee and check e-mail first.  BIG MISTAKE :)  There it is, the This week on Pinterest e-mail.  Here I sit on the computer almost 3 hours later and the dogs aren't even fed.  

Just found that earning your Ph.D. was not as difficult as some may think.  I do VERY WELL with Projects Half Done!   Have a great "labor" day :)  

WOW, it's been since Dec. 2010 since I've posted.  Think it's time to get back on the wagon???  I use Google Reader to check on blogs and enjoy reading them.  I leave comments occasionally and it links back to my blog.  I was a little embarassed when I realized it's been so long.

So when I signed in to my blog I began reading.  I began this thing in 2007 and it is amazing what I've put on the internet!!!!!  I will admit that Facebook, Whirly Words, Words with Friends and over committing myself has interferred with my blogging.  Not to mention that I don't have some wild, exciting life to share ~  and I like it that way!!!  

So I will try to get back to sharing books I've read, crafts, bible study, and family.  We still have two dachshunds that could be the subject of their own blog.  Molly the crack dog and Sassy the Princess.

Blesssings,

Altered Tins and Merry Christmas

Made these for goodies at my family get-together.  Filled them with candy and kids $1 puzzle from Walmart!  Also gave our daughter a Georgia Bulldogs Red and Black tree.  I made the ornaments for that. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

A post with no title

I have the crud now ~ just before Christmas no less.  A touch of bronchitis and sinus infection, fever.  Got a shot, antibiotics, nasal steroid, and was told to begin using a Neti Pot.  I'd heard of it and have used saline in my nose, but this thing is a trip!  Works, but it's weird!!!!  Check it out. 

I've also lost my voice ~ hubby thought about posting something on Facebook about a peaceful "silent night" ~ but to his credit, rethought that!!

Here's to the crazy few days before Christmas, long lines, traffic, counting packages to make sure everyone gets the same number, last minute stocking stuffers, fretting about the gift that did not arrive in time, that string of lights that went out on the tree, cooking, polishing silver (does anyone do that anymore), deep cleaning the house so everyone can walk through the door and mess it up in less than 3.2 minutes, making sure the cookies are ready for Santa, and the famous last words ~ I planned on getting this done earlier this year! 

It's all worth it as long as we remember why we celebrate this season.  It is the birthday of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  No other gift matters.

Joy in the midst of it all,

 

Christmas is almost here

Really, I've not posted since September?  That was just a week or so ago, right?????  WOW, how this year has flown.  It's been a busy, exciting, life changing, and sad one for me in many ways.  Always blessed though.  As things happen and progress in life, whether good or bad, I always try to hang on to an attitude of gratitude.   God is always faithful and takes care of me and my family through all the crazy times.  If I don't post again before Christmas, I hope you have a peaceful, loving one.  

Joy in the midst of it all,   

Convertible!

I've always wanted a convertible Volkswagen bug.  This weekend one of my best friends came to visit from Nashville and drove her new convertible bug!  It was a glorious weather weekend and we rode with the top down most all day Sat.  FUN!!!
