Weekend Wrap Up

I had a tiring weekend for some reason. I attended my Thirty-One meeting and it was a big success. I was awarded this necklace charm with my favorite word....BELIEVE for achieving the level of Senior Consultant.

Later that afternoon when I was stopping in Walmart, I fell in love with this little towel. Not sure what I will do with it, but I really liked it. 

Sunday at church, my friend, Georgeanna gave me some cute little napkins she found at a vintage store. I love them. 

Sunday the visit choir was marvelous.

After lunch on Sunday, I felt bad so I laid down and slept 3 hours. Then I woke up, fixed supper, ate and cleaned up the mess. Then I laid on the couch and slept a couple more hours. I was exhausted. I did go to work today, but as I am sitting here typing this evening, I feel my eyes watering and my head starting to hurt. I hope I am not getting sick. 

Sunday Songs

Can't wait for 10:30 this morning to hear this awesome choir at our church. I hope they sing Happy Day. I love that song and love the way they do it.

Happy Saturday

I am going to have to check the thermostat a little closer when I go to bed at night. I woke up and it was so cold that I turned the fireplace on.

I attended a Jamberry Nails Facebook party last night. I am thinking about getting a set. Here are some I liked. What are your thoughts? I love all kinds of nail colors, but I have forever and will always love red.

I also like this shade...even though I am not sure what you call it. But I do like it.

And if it is pink and it sparkles, I will love it. 

I have been looking everywhere for Chrome nail polish and can't find it so I am pretty sure I will end up buying this set simply because it is a color I can't find in nail polish.

I am heading out this morning to my Better Together meeting with my Thirty-One sisters. Can't wait to see what new info and training we get today.

I made brownie muffins and peanut butter cookie muffins with grated Hershey's Kisses on top.

I have to stop at the store and get some orange sherbet, orange pineapple juice and 7-Up so I can make my favorite punch as well.

I get to do the devotion at our meeting today. I picked as my verse Ecclesiastes 4:9 - Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. (NIV). I picked this verse because the theme of our meeting is being better together.

Tomorrow morning we won't have Children's Church so I get a break from thinking up a craft for the week. We are having a guest concert by the Wilmington Celebration Choir. They are in town for a concert performance with the Bill Gaither Trio tonight so they are coming to sing for us tomorrow morning. (The choir is, not the Gaither's.)

It's going to be a busy, fun weekend.

A little online "window shopping"

This has been a strange summer. I have only been to about 4 or 5 yard sales. I used to go to that many in one Saturday several times a summer. No one has been having any good ones around here this year. I just checked Craig's List and there are a lot of nice finds in the garage sale pics, but none that are close enough to me to make it worth the drive. But I did save a few pictures of things that would catch my eye if I went to their sales. 

I love tall, slender figurines. This are especially pretty.

I would love this little chair and to paint it brick red or country blue.

This is a gorgeous hutch. I bet it will go at the estate sale for a gorgeous price.

Oh wow. This is in great shape for its age.

I would love this set for my front porch.

These old machinists wooden tool boxes would be perfect for my plastic canvas patterns and various other craft supplies.

I see these in almost every antique store around here. I don't love them but they are growing on me.

I wonder if these are Blue Willow? Love all the blue jars.

This is a lot like the table we had when I was growing up.

And the date is past on this last one and it is all the way in South Carolina, but my oh my what a goldmine.

This makes me want to find some yard sales for tomorrow.

It's giggle time...

I thought we all might need a good laugh today. Some of these are just too cute.

Fall is not far away

The days can still get warm and some times a little humid but the evenings sometimes get a little cool. That tells me fall is not far away. I love all the changes of the seasons, but there is just something about feeling fall in the air. 

Time for gathering some apples for homemade apple butter.

Time to make some sorghum the old fashion way.

Football time in Tennessee at Neyland Stadium.

Fall foliage in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Oktoberfest at Dollywood

I love fall in East Tennessee.

You just gotta love a great bag....

I love a great tote bag, purse, wallet, you name it. If I can carry something in it I am going to love it. I just got my new Thirty-One order yesterday with some of the new fall products. I love hosting parties because you can earn so much for free. I saw this tote at National Conference and fell in love with it. It is reversible. One side is black pebble the other side is gray charcoal snake. Very versatile. It even came with a matching wallet in the gray charcoal and a wristlet strap.

The other one I liked so much at conference was the Go To Tote. I fell in love with this bag and the coordinating products. 

It is a very soft fabric but has the durability to stand on its own.

And look how much room inside. I wanted it to take back and forth to work for those times I have to have my files with me to work on. I just love how much room it has. 

You just gotta love a great bag.
