New look and a giveaway!

Hi ya’ll!  Happy Tuesday to you!  It is a beautiful morning here in Maryland.  It is a little after 9:00 AM and the temps are a nice 70 or so. When I woke this morning the temps were in the 60’s.  Woo Hoo.

Let me first say to those that mentioned the house in the header of my blog…NO that is not my home.  I wish it were, but alas it isn’t.  I love big ole farmhouses, I have all my life, so when I saw this one, it was everything and more of what I dreamed of.  Love the big porch with the screen door.  Mmmmmmm, someday maybe! 

I wish I had something really clever to write about today, but I don’t.  Still working on the things for the house.  We are having new carpet installed in the basement, it was suppose to be on Thursday this week, but the carpet layers showed up today and of course we weren’t ready, so now they will have to do it next Tuesday.   Kinda bummed about it, but it is okay I guess, really.  In the big scheme of things it is only a few more days. 

I didn’t get as much done yesterday that I wanted to in the house, so going to work on some things today…..but before I do…..wanted to tell you about a giveaway I saw at  “And baby makes Five”   How cute are these little bowl fillers. A Colleen is giving them away.  So run right over and get your name in the pot.  :) I think they are simply adorable. 

As you all can see, I have been up to changing things around again in here.  I think I like this better than the blue I had here yesterday.  What do you think? It most likely will stay this way for awhile. Instead of changing things up on here, I really would love to be doing some redecorating in my house.  I miss not being able to move things around.  I am sure if and when I finally get to move it will be like Christmas for me, playing with all my goodies again. 

Well my son just called and he is on his way over, so guess I should scoot, so I can spend some time with him, and then I MUST get some work done in this house.

Have a very blessed day, I know I will!  B

Weekend almost here and giveaways

Happy Friday all, hope you have had a blessed week thus far.  It’s a balmy 14 {teehee} here this morning, so it promises to be a cold weekend here. 

Isn’t this picture wonderful, you know the best part, you could actually win this wonderful Rooster combo.  Barb at  Bella Vista is giving it away.  Jump over to her beautiful blog to register.  The contest ends on Feb 2.  

Another wonderful giveaway that is ending SOON, is at Beneath my Heart   you need to run over there to

get it on it. There are oodles to look at.  These pieces are the work of Amanda at Queen Bee’s Designs.  Everything Amanda has is great.  I love everything.  You will too. 

 

Now with those little treats behind me, I am going to ask you what you are going to do this weekend?  Do you have any projects you are working on?  I have several I hope to get to this weekend.  I have a bunch of linens, that I am trying to figure out what to do with.  Any ideas?  I love linens, so each time I go to the antique mall or good will and run across them for next to nothing, I pick them up.  Can’t help myself {teehee} This is just a fraction of what I have.  Instead of buying more I need to figure out something creative to do with some them.  I have doilies, runners, napkins, pillow cases, ect. Most are white, but I do have some pretty soft pink ones.  Excuse the ones in the pictures to the left, I haven’t ironed them yet.  But I thought the pink would be great for Valentines Day or Mothers Day.  Too pretty to NOT buy, Right?   So any thoughts on how to use them besides there initial purpose, I would appreciate it.

Need to scoot, got things awaiting on me. 

Hope you have a blessed Friday!

The weekend and some great giveaways

Wow, I can’t believe it is Monday  already.  Where did the weekend go.  I had a very busy weekend and the weather Saturday was perfect with the sun shining after so many cold dreary days.  It was still cold but the sun somehow made it bearable.  Sunday was another story, lots of rain, and the temperature we still cold.  This morning, it is dreary and rainy again but with temps almost 60.  But I hear there is a cold front heading our way.  Oh goodie! 

Saturday was a day spent doing one of my favorite things in the the whole world, scouring Antique shops with Michael and friends.  We hit three Antique malls.  I will try to share  my finds with you later this week.  We started out in Emmitsburg at the antique mall   and I found a couple of little things.  Then we headed over to Hanover Pa, and hit two more.

Me and my friend walked away with some goodies.  After seeing all the prices in these places, it made me long for spring and yard sales.  I am gearing up for Yard Sale season.  How bout you?  After all that fun, we headed to dinner.  We hadn’t taken the time all day to eat and so at 7:00 or so we were famished.  Afterwards we had a little Christmas celebration.  We normally exchange gifts with this couple but due to all our schedules we hadn’t been able to fit it in until now.  So it was fun to still have a little bit of Christmas.  Now I can officially say that it over until next year.

Yesterday, was spent rearranging my furniture in my family room.  I will try to get a few pictures soon to share.  I need some help with one particular area.  So would like your comments and advice.

Also, hubby finally got our elliptical machine put together, so now I have NO excuses for not exercising.  Need to get this  body into shape before my son’s May 1 wedding.  I still need to shop for that mother of the groom dress.  Don’t have a clue what to even look for.  Help!

Since I was home yesterday I actually had a chance to cook and make a wonderful Chicken and Rice casserole, with enough leftovers for another meal.  Not sure if we will eat that tonight or tomorrow.  Tuesdays are normally hectic here in the evenings, no one is around until after 9 or so…so it’s always nice to have something you can pop in the microwave.  K..guess I just talked myself into having it tomorrow…so will have to plan something for tonight.

Today will be a bit busy, Tori needs to do some shopping, so I am going to take her to look for some new clothes for work.  She has a interview tomorrow for a new hair salon and they have a dress code, so she needs to pick up a few things.  Plus while I am in town I think I will make a run to JoAnnes. 

Now for the fun stuff…

Giveaways  3 of them.  Woo Hoo!

For the first stop…you have to stop in at Sarah Mae’s and register to win her “flirty apron”.  Too adorable.  All I will say, if you don’t you will be sorry.  Her little video is so sweet too.  She shares with us where we can actually purchase these aprons, and there are some sweet, flirty ones available.Thinking I might have to have one of these on my Valentines Day list.  Way better than chocolate. I like to spend time with Sarah Mae every morning.  She has the most insightful and inspiring blog for me.  Love her!

Now for the second giveaway…head over to Kim’s for a great Valentine Giveaway.  I love all the goodies in this little treasure too.  Plus check out her blog.   And now for the next giveaway, you heard me right.  The next one.  Check out Donna at One Simple  Country Girl

Whew, all those giveaways wore me out.  Now, don’t just dwaddle your way over there RUN…before time runs out.

Hugs and Blessings

You'll need to look at the October 8th posting to see the wonderful little treasures she is gave away. Thank you Judy and Emily!


It's hard to believe but the end of the week is upon us again, this has been a weird kinda week for me. It always is when I have days off. Of course it makes it harder to come back in here after a long weekend.


Don't have alot of time at the moment, but will try to get back soon.
Hugs,
Cindy
