Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as...

Pink Saturday

Hey Y'all, How are you today? I am busy as a bee here today. I am leaving tomorrow evening for my training in Richmond, so I am trying to get everything washed so I can pack, everything clean so Lee won't have to worry over it and enough cooked so he has meals all week. I am pooped already...ha ha ha. PLUS I am turning 40 tomorrow. Anyhow, on to the Pink. The most lovely Elizabeth at Creative Breathing   sent me a sweet as can be package of Hearts, embellishments, ribbon and a Valentine Cutie Hedgehog felt character she so lovingly made, his hide is made of hearts :)  so that I could make a wreath similar to the one she made.       She knows my affinity for the heart shape, if you didn't know I love hearts. ***THIS IS THE WREATH ELIZABETH MADE, THE PHOTO IS FROM HER BLOG THIS IS THE  LINK TO HER TUTORIAL AND POST. and here is what I did. I started with this really awful wreath that was meant to be a Christmas card holder, I got th...

Pink Saturday

Hey Y'all How are ya? It is snowing like crazy here (YAY! I LOVE IT) We are expected to get 2-3 inches tonight. I have not participated in Pink Saturday in forever, I miss it ever so much. So for today I wanted to share a great deal I scored back in October Back in June when I was in North Carolina visiting my cousin, we went to a junk shop and I saw this  pink depression glass cookie jar and fell in love with it. BUT it was $35 and that was not in my budget. Well when we went back to visit in October we went back to the same junk shop and it was still there. It has 2 tiny itty bitty chips in the lid but other than that it is perfect and Pink Depression glass is my favorite. So I take it to the counter, it has lost it's sticker of $35 and the guy at the counter asks if I got it from inside or outside? Inside I tell him, he says how about $5.  SOLD! I want to go back and see if I can get the rest of the lot. They had a ton. So that is my little score. Hap...
