Thankful in the bad and good times..

Lately I have been stressing ...of course most of you that know me stressing for money yes something that we need,like and sometimes hate.. MONEY!!!  Anyway I have to put myself in check sometimes and thank Jesus in the good times and the bad times, we can get soo caught up in life, or wanting to keep up with other things you forget to be thankful. So I just want to say THANK YOU LORD for everything!!

Age does not matter

Took a drive with my kids and my older sons girlfriend to the Peltzer Pumkin Patch...realized how big my kids are getting, I truly feel blessed that no matter how old they get they still like to have fun.. and with me lol seeing them run through the corn field and predicting what pig was going to win the race and letting me take all the pictures of them was amazing. I will truly cherish these times with them, I thank the Lord for giving me all my beautiful children everyday.. I'm blessed to have such an amazing family :)

Look at my Pottery Barn Knock off!!

My version!!

Here's the Pottery Barn one..

This is what I started with..

So my friend Mamma (just Simply Live) inspired me with her Pottery Barn Knock offs she's been posting..So I went to the web site and took a look...On sunday my neighbor took out his trash and I saw this cool vase plant thing lol and I remembered seeing something like that at the web site so I went to the trash can and took it... Yes I took it from the trash can lol, anyway I spray painted it black and added my .99 cent pumkins. So my total cost for this project was $4.00 yay yay!!! Pottery barn is selling their vase for $199.00, Love finding and making stuff for a way cheaper price :)

Excited

So here is a cool chalkboard I bought at a garage sale for $1.00 .... Super Excited to spray paint it and make it look brand new!! stay tuned...

Learning.....

Well for some reason I posted my recipe before my first post hmmm, I think it did, anyway I'm still learning... so be patient with me ..maybe its the Heat...it's driving me nuts...
