Happy Valentines Day

Hi Everyone! I wanted to pop in to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day! I hope all of you have a day of Love today and everyday :) My DH took me out to a wonderful steak dinner last night to the Longhorn Steakhouse and Oh! Yummmmm!It was so gooooood!!! This morning I took him out for a scrumptious breakfast….another Yummmmm!

 

I am now having trouble with my internet server. I am waiting for a technician to come and install a new modem and check for any problems in our wiring. The signal is not reaching the modem. I am so tired of cp problems…one of the reasons that I wasn’t on for a while was that I got a virus on my cp and lost everything. I have since bought a laptop, which I like (I wasn’t sure if I would like it, being used to a desktop), now I can sit in the LR on my comfy chair and surf the web, and read all of my blogging friends post’s. Pause..Comcast is here!

Resume: Well two days of playing around and my modem was the problem…thank goodness that’s all is was and they replaced! Oh the woes of technology!!

 

 

I thought I would show you a couple more of my finds. This little cubby I had bought at a yard sale in the fall and just started using it. The person that made it used nails for the drawer pulls…cleaver and cute! My little bird was a TS find…another 99 cent item.

I bought the crock print from a friend of mine at her yard sale this past summer, and the Black Horse sign I bought recently at a surplus store that opened in our area….they have a lot of things I love there…prim and country.

 

 

I have one more thing that I want to show you….Mother Nature gave me a cake…

I supplied the cake stand and the reindeer topper, isn’t it beautiful?? (What is sitting under the table is a antique Christmas tree stand that I use for my summer umbrella) As beautiful as it is, I am so ready for Spring, but the forecast for tomorrow night here in Central Pa is for another 5 to 7 inches of snow….ugggggg..please hurry Spring!

Well time to close, if I don’t soon get this posted Valentines Day will be over! I hope all of you had a Happy One!

Until the next time!

Hugs,

Wanda

A Few Treasures and A Easy Project

Hi to all of my blog friends! It has been a while since my last post….I hope I remember how to do this.

I hope all of you that are in this snow storm we are having, are all snuggled up in your warm nest! I am so tired of snow and so ready for Spring! As each decade passes in my life I really don’t like snow at all…”snow” translates to “work”, and lots of it. I remember how I loved all of those pretty white flakes falling from heaven and couldn’t wait to get all of my layers of clothing on so I could go play…now I moan and grown and struggle to get all of those layers on so I can go out and work! Oh to be a grown up!!! I must say though that I truly enjoy looking at the beautiful layers on the trees, as you see in the picture that I took from the first storm over the week end.

 

They are so pretty!

Now Cash on the other hand just has a blast “drift diving”, he loves being outside, he lays by the door waiting to get out to play.

Even when he is so “tuckered out” he lays by the door for his next chance for the great outdoors!

I love him…he’s my baby!

I have a few finds that I bought at the TS and GW. I love this little chair, I don’t have to do anything to it..I have to find the right spot for it, but isn’t it cute?

Love this black wax heart….I think someone cleaned out their Valentine decor, there was a lot of it the day I went treasure hunting….

This Heart basket was only 99 cents, the Love sign I already had.

I really couldn’t believe this clock…another 99 cent find!

I love my “Daisy” the cow painting, she is painted on old barn wood…I think the artist did a fantastic job, she hangs in my kitchen. This was my most expensive….$5.99, to me it was a great find!

Do any of you have the old zinc canning jar lids? Look what you can do with them. I seen these at a Craft Show, they looked pretty easy to do. I had bought a box of these lids at a auction some time ago, thinking that I would use them on my mason jars that are missing lids. I had plenty of lids left (being the collector that I am, I still buy these lids every time I see them), so I will make more to hang on my tree for Christmas this year.

Take some wire and wrap around the lip and then make a handle to the size you want, twist and cut. I took some batting and grunged it with coffee, tied a small piece of cheesecloth on the handle, that I also grunged in coffee. I had a tea light battery candle and set inside . There, your done…easy project. I didn’t take any pictures during my making of my candle holder….sorry.

Well I’m going to close for now. Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit. I really appreciate your taking the time, please come back.

Stay warm and cause Baby it’s cold outside!!

Until the next time!

Christmas Decorations and Merry Christmas!!

Happy Holidays everyone! I haven’t been on for awhile. My pc went haywire and so I had to try and save some of my files from my desktop (I am bad…don’t back up my files like I should )and I am now on a new laptop, early(unexpected) Christmas present.

I wanted to share some of my Christmas decorations. I have truly enjoyed all of the eye candy that has been posted by all of my blog friends!

I love my Jim Shore Santa…just one of my favorites.

Love the soft glow of pewter in the candlelight.

 

One of my Santa’s on top of my chimney cupboard.

 

Another one of my Santa’s with his reindeer.

 

I don’t have all of my pictures on this new pc and time is running short. I haven’t had a lot of time to set this one up. I am still working on wrapping and last minute things. Looks like I’ll be working right up to Christmas Eve…

I wish each and everyone of you a joyous Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Holiday Blessings To All!!

Baby Cash Love’s Snow

Happy Sunday! I just wanted to share some pictures of my sweetie Cash and my youngest son, Cody, playing in the snow! We ended up with about 3-4 inches here in my part of Pa., it was a pretty site to wake up to, but I am happy it is starting to leave!

Cash loves to play ball and snow balls seem to be a favorite!!

He sure has his eye on the snow ball!

Loves to jump…

Waiting for the next one….

Just wanted to share a few “first snow” pic’s with you…hope your having fun today in whatever you are doing :)

For me it’s back to decorating!!

Mother Natures Ornaments & Outside Decorations

 

 

Well we are finally getting some “S”….I can hardly say the word! I used to be a snow person when I was a child…but now that I am a adult I see work…lol I only love snow on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day then it can go away until next Christmas! I know many many people love the white stuff I am just not one of them.

I have been working on the outside of the house, this year as most of you are posting it is all about simplicity…less is more :)

I think I am done with the front of the house…please excuse my shabby chic appearance…springtime paint job for sure!

Below is a close up of the front porch

I worked on my Mother Natures ornaments, my pumpkins were still in very good shape so I painted them red, green, bronze and then primmed them with a little Minwax stain. My DH just shakes his head!! :)

I used the small pumpkin ornaments in my window boxes with greens and holly.

I’m not sure if I will do any more to my fence…but this is what it looks like right now. Not at all what it looked like in years past. This is not a good picture, color wise.

 

I had a helper while I was working outside…he just follows me and roll’s around at my feet. While I was working on the window boxes he curled up in one of my planters.

That's all for now. I’ll have more pictures to post as I finish up inside my nest :)

Have a great evening!

Holiday Blessings!!

Christmas Tree~Oh Christmas Tree

 

Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I enjoyed the yummy food and the relaxing day! It is so hard to believe that it is December 1st. I have started my decorating but I do believe I’ll be tweaking up till Christmas Eve!! Just wanted to show you my tree in the living room….this year less is more, but I am happy with it.

I have to pretty much keep my tree in the same corner, with having Dad in the living room I am limited to what I can do. He really enjoys the tree, he has a good view, the tree is in the opposite corner of his bed.  

I just bought the new tree topper, it is hard to see because it blends in with the wall, but I love the snowflakes! This is the first year that I made the dried orange’s and the rag balls…I love the glow of the orange slices.

The lamp on the shelf is a birthday gift from DH, I just love it…(I wish I could hide the cord going down to the plug…have to work on that one)

I love all of the eye candy that I have been seeing on your blogs….such warm and cozy homes!  Great inspiration!!

Well I truly hope all of you had a happy, wonderful Thanksgiving! I will post more pictures as I get more decorating done.
