For a little fun yesterday, I went through some photos I had posted on Facebook in the past and pulled up some that caught my eye. Here are 10 that I want to share today.
1. Adorable rhinestone candles. These would be perfect for decorations on the tables of weddings, wedding showers, or anniversary parties
2. This was me at 18. I am still this skinny. I just hide it under 40 extra pounds of flesh. I was 5'0" and weighed about 87 pounds back then.
3. Oh but what a difference a year makes. Me at 19 and up to a whopping 90 pounds. I do miss my thick long hair but can't stand it as it is growing out. I did love my hip-hugger bell bottomed jeans though. Oh, those were the days.
4. This was my favorite set of spring flowers I ever had. Over the years they got shabby looking and I had to replace them. I need to try to find some like the light pink on the left. That looks so real.
5. Something I had in my old place but don't do now. I am going to remedy that real soon. I had forgotten how convenient it was to have all my cleaning supplies in one place. Plus the bigger pockets on the bottom was a great place to keep cleaning rags. I do have one of these full of flip flop sets. And another one in my craft room that is full of craft supplies.
6. Aww, my twins one Easter. I think they were 2 1/2 here. Because I married Allen when they were a little over 3 and this was before we got married.
7. I needed a bowl to complete a Pyrex collection that was really hard to find. So I traded this bowl for it. Now I want one like this back again. let the hunt begin.
8. It was 2013. It was September. It was the last year Hubby and I made homemade apple butter. There are crock pot recipes for it. I need to try to make my own. We made it to taste, no recipe. And Hubby was the one that knew just how much sugar and how much cinnamon so I've been afraid to try it.
9. Back before I discovered Thirty-One, I had a tone of Donna Sharp quilted purses and bags. This big bag was my craft bag for when we went on vacation. It also was great for taking my laptop place. I need to see if they still make this style of bag.
10. Many years ago, my husband was laid off all winter and bored to tears. So he decided to teach himself to cross stitch. Most people start with something easy, but he wanted something worth spending time on he said. So this was his first piece...with no help from anybody. I still have it. He even made and stained the wood frame it is in. I always talk about what a great chef he was but the man had many, many talents.
