Painting Season!

Well, really, I can paint ANY season, but for some reason I really want to paint today!  Has anyone tried Martha's new paint line?  I am really interested in how her paint handles glass.  Must paint a snowman!!!  Wish I had a place to sell my stuff so I can justify painting more stuff.  This weekend is the Moonshine Festival.  Maybe I could get Hank to stand on a corner with my windows.

I did try making apple fritters today.  They were ok.  Not up to Kroger standard though.  The boys ate them, so they were not a total bust!  My next experiment will be lasagna soup.  Still looking for a good black bean recipe - black bean chili or black bean soup.

Lindsey has been creating lots in her new home.  Her burlap wreath is really cute.  I wish I had a picture to show you.  She is really enjoying decorating her home - doing a lot of up-cycling/recycling with old finds.  She is really getting into it.

I guess I better go dig out an old window so I can paint me a snowman.  Anyone need a new Christmas decoration?  I can give you a deal.....

Happy Birthday, Love

My sweet, crazy hubby had a birthday, so, of course, I had to make him something to express to him how much I love him!  I have seen different version of "Love Notes" on Pinterest and Debbie Lanning told me about one she saw and that prompted my decision to make my "Love Note" for my Hankster. I wrote a little love note on it for him to find first thing the morning of his birthday.  And a new one each day since. I found the picture frame at Big Lots.  It is a 5x7 plastic frame. It was l.25.  I think it would look better in a pretty decorative frame out of wood, but my budget is small.  BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find.  Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29.  The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00.  So looks like I spent under 3.00!  I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...

Christmas! I Love Christmas!

I absolutely love everything about the Christmas season.  There are so many ways we can celebrate Jesus, our Saviour with our friends, our family, and our community.  I want to share with you what has been going on in my little world. For Thanksgiving all our kids were here with us and the day after Thanksgiving the girls and I made wreaths from the grapevines in our yard, collected pinecones and painted some of them.  We painted - we started preparing for our celebrations.  Fun stuff. One evening we went to the boat parade.  Lots of pretty lights, fun decorated boats. and cold weather!  Yes, it was coat and mitten weather in Florida! At Bayou George Christian Church, we ladies had our own awesome start of the Christmas season.  We worshipped together, led by Faye and Libby. We invited Panama City Christian Church and Eastside Christian Church ladies to join our "Christmas Gathering" and we had 38 beautiful women!  It was su...
