Hey Y'all! Well I would have posted this earlier, but we had a horrible storm last night and we lost power. Tonight we are supposed to have the same storm again! Last night was so hot we hit 122 degrees (with the heat index) yesterday! UGH! For those of you who know me well, you know that is sheer torture for me. I am such a happier person in winter :) So pinkies how have you been? This week has been so busy and I am wiped out. Thank You sweet Beverly for hosting us again. I didn't prepare very well for this weeks Pink Saturday...so I took a photo of my give away goodies on my Hot Pink beach towel...lol Hey it works for me today! So without further ado I have a little gift for 3 lovely readers. Each will receive this... In celebration of summer and to share a bit of my trip to NC with y'all I have a box of Saltwater Taffy and a flip flop auto coaster (I LOVE Mine!) So to enter just leave me a comment here. That's it, no hoops. Just jot me a note on a

Hey Y'all I had a GREAT time over the weekend! You know my sisters and my cousin are my very best friends so the weekend spent with them was just what I needed. I only have a few photos to share, Beth and Leigh have the rest, so hopefully I can share a few more when I get theirs. I was having too much fun to think of using my camera much. So the weekend started on Friday with a hurricane!...lol not really but the wind and rain were so bad it may as well have been one! So we left Chesapeake, Va and headed for Plymouth, North Carolina. Leigh greeted us with a gift we each got a wine glass she picked especially for us :)                                                 Here is mine.... PERFECT! Then we opened a bottle of Duplin's Brice's Creek it's a sweet table wine. All their wines are made form the yummiest grapes. Their flavor reminds me of eating grapes off the vine in my parents back yard! They had a concord  and  a Scuppernog vine and we would sit in th

Hey Y'all! It feels like forever since I have had a post!  So let me catch you up on June... Here is an easel card I made for a friend... These are so easy, I don't know why I don't make more of them. Here is my tag for the Tag-A-Month swap at The Altered Paper  I went with the summer theme this month. And Finally the tags I made for the Creative Breathing Lunch Box Social Tag Swap I used the same basic features, I just used 3 different back ground papers, and in sticking with the lunch box theme,  to package them I wrapped them in wax paper and tied them with twine, which I forgot to take a photo of...oh well :) So that is what I have done so far this month...what have you been up to? PS...please keep my friend Paula in your prayers, about a month ago she had a cold she could not shake, today I found out she is under hospice care with stage 4 Liver Cancer...this has happened so fast, I mean the last 18 days fast! She believes in Jesus, so I ask th

Hey Y'all! I tell ya, blogging has been a great gift to me. It has brought to me the most precious gift. The gift of Friendship. I have "met" so many wonderful women who enrich my life.

Your Faith sustains me. I have had a rough couple of weeks and this week that most precious gift presented itself to me. The most lovely, dear, sweet, faithful, kind Marcia sent me a little note and a precious tag. Not having a clue of how I needed it. We met almost one year ago during her "White Christmas In July" blog party. What a blessing her friendship has been. Knowing that I am though of and prayed for...the feeling...it's hard to put into words... It soothes my soul and fills m
