Laugh a little

I thought I would share a little humor this morning. I turned on my Facebook the other night and notice my daughter had tagged me in a photo. I thought "Oh how sweet. Let's see what she tagged me in."

I would have been highly offended if it weren't for the fact that this is SO TRUE. I have the compulsion that makes me think I need to search out everybody I know and have one last conversation that day before we leave the sanctuary. Then I have some friends who are in the foyer that I have to say a few words to. And then we get outside where people are milling around the front and I always find somebody that I just need "one more minute" to tell goodbye. It's harder to get me out of the church parking lot on Sunday morning than it is getting a kid up for school. 

Another funny I saw was one I tagged my daughter-in-law in. I despise dusting and she loves to give me a hard time about it. It is true. I don't like to dust. Of course if I didn't love to collect so many knick knacks and what not's, I wouldn't have to move so much stuff to dust so I might enjoy it more. Hmmm....Nope. Still wouldn't like it. Anyway, I just had to share this little poem. She got a kick out of it. 

Have a blessed Sunday!

My current obsessions....

I go through spells where I fall in love with things I see online then it seems I see items with that theme everywhere I look. 

I am currently seeing little cute witches everywhere. Isn't this one so precious. I can make the broom but that is about it. 

I love these ghosts made from lace and Styrofoam balls. Super simple. May make some of these this weekend to hang on the hooks on my front porch.

My hubby loves YooHoo so I am saving some of the bottle to do something like this. 

I love candy canes crushed up in my hot chocolate and sprinkled on my marshmallows. I call it peppermint dust. I would love to do these as gift ideas. How do you think they make the hats?

And for some reason, I am in love with old trucks. Isn't this a cute idea.

I have had an obsession about these old trucks as decor ever since last Christmas when I saw people decorating with them. 

What are you currently obsessed with?

My crazy life....

It seems like I can't get my head together any more to accomplish anything. I hate when I miss a day blogging and I am going to try to do better. I have some exciting things to share today. 

First is this sweet lady from West Virginia name Peggy. She and her husband come to Tennessee several times a year. They attend our church when they are in town. She know of my love for Pyrex and every once in awhile she she surprises me with a bowl she has picked up an estate or yard sale. They were down recently and she surprised me with this awesome set of the (that's the set on the right). I just love it! It was really neat because the set had two out of three lids with it. And I happened to have a spare lid which went with those size bowls. Aren't they beautiful. 

As you know I sell Thirty-One. One of the other consultants posted this on her page. 

These little bags are part of new Christmas Collection. So I posted it to see how many I could sell in 24 hours. I was already taking up and order and I was short of my goal. I sold 18 sets in the first 58 minutes. Fourteen hours later I had sold a total of 27 sets and I met my goal. At $5 plus s/h and tax they were just $5.93 per set. I love that their Christmas line is already released and available through the end of January. After I got to 27 I realized I needed a couple myself. If you look closely you will see the little cardinal on one of the trees. When I noticed that, I realized I had to get a set for Miss Debbie at www.Jeremiah-2911.com. I hope she likes it.

I am planning on running to a couple of yard sales in the morning. Sort of a last hurrah for bargains before it gets to cold to have them. I have a friend who is having one and I know I will go to it for sure. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hobby Lobby Heaven

Our new Hobby Lobby opened this past weekend. Just 10 minutes from my house. I just come off my road, turn right go a few feet, turn left and it is a straight shot all the way down the highway to Hobby Lobby. It's fantastic. But then again it may not be such a great thing to have it so close to me with my love of crafting. I am definitely going to need to do a budget. I also love their home decor section and with so much off at 40% with the grand opening, I may need to go again this weekend. Here are some pics of my favorite things.

Good start to the week....

Happy Monday morning. Let's start the week off with some laughter. This is me every. single. morning. I get up in my PJ's and do things around the house, write my blog, everything to start my day going. Then I am geared up and ready for my day....till I realize I have to actually get dressed if I plan on going to work. 

I do not hunt. I could never be quiet enough to get anything. So this would be me.

This one says it all. 

This one is very funny.

And I am sure we all know someone that we think this about sometimes.

Have an awesome week!

Happy birthday to my precious grandson

Today our youngest grandson, Colby James, will celebrate his 5th birthday. I can't believe he is turning 5 already. 

He was so tiny. And had a full head of hair. This is one of my favorite pictures of him and Papaw.

He smiled all the time and still does.

His grin can light up a room. He is always going full speed ahead and always finding something that makes him smile. He is a huge sports nut and he loves the Tennessee Vols. He was smiling in this picture because he was cracking up that he was riding with a Gator. Everything is about sports with this child.

You never know what he is going to do next. I was loading my car one day to go shopping and I always pack some empty Thirty-One totes to bring my groceries back in. This day, I unlocked the car and turned around to load my bags and it wasn't empty any more. 

This is a perfect example of a typical Colby smile. It makes you wonder what he has been up to or what he contemplating getting into. 

His love of sports is unreal. If there is a ball game, he is wanting to be right in the thick of it all. He wasn't very old here when he came to his cousin's game. And you can see that even at that little he was ready for the game. 

He spent a lot of time playing with some of the other kids that were a lot bigger than him.

This past spring he had his first dream come true. He got to play real ball with a real team. He absolutely loved his tee ball team. They had an undefeated season. He played his heart out at every single game. Even at this young age, it is easy to see he will be sports kid for life. He loved it and he was awesome. He plays very, very good.

He takes it very seriously and is not one to just sit down in the door. He pays attention as if he is a major league world series. It's a hoot to watch. 

Happy 5th birthday Colby James. Mamaw and Papaw love you.
