I just got a disturbing phone call......let me start at the beginning.

Over the weekend the #2 grandson has been sick, and not eating. But the doctor said as long as we get him to drink, it will be okay. So on the way to get his mom from work yesterday , he wanted Tea. So I pulled into McDonald's (first mistake) and got this sick, sweet thing a big tea. We had to wait on Mom for a few minutes and he wanted out of his seat. I let him out ( this was my second mistake). When Mom started toward the car, he accidentally stepped on the Styrofoam cup and busted it. The tea filled up the cup holders and flowed all over everything and me. Sticky sweet tea. All at once I realize, my phone was floating in the cup holder. It is time for a new phone and I have looked. But I don't want to make a decision on a split second. So we dried it with a blow dryer and recharged it. But this morning it was dead, so I ask hubby to just go by and pick me up a new phone after work. I have been saying I wanted an i phone....but only if they reduce the price a little more, like less than $150.00 . yeah, right. So I have been looking all morning @ new phones on-line. And just now the phone rang, caller ID said it was me. Can you believe hubby has got this phone to work. blank screen but working. So will I get a new phone, or accidentally drop it in the toilet? Update: Hubby came in with a new phone this afternoon, he is a sweetheart.

Weekend Update

I enjoyed a wonderful weekend with my Shriner lady friends @ a lake retreat house . When you get 25+ ladies together there is not a dull or quite moment. We laughed, ate, cried, played cards, practiced a dance routine, ate, practiced playing the hand bells, played more cards, ate some more, and watched football. I was relaxed when I got home, so relaxed that I layed down for a hour or so. Lack of sleep is also on the line up for this retreat. We played card until 2 every morning, and up bu 7 a.m. I was going to share pictures of this beautiful place but I can't find my camera. So until then, here is a photo of a resent scrapbook page. I completed this after Grandson#1 invited god into his life. Do you believe I forgot my camera. Well, this is just as good.

We spent a beautiful weekend at the Greenville Shriners Hospital celebrating their 80th birthday. Lots of fun and rewarding, it is good to renew your outlook of why we work so hard. Seeing the hospital and some children that had received help, was inspiring. On Saturday we visited a friend, Hubby had gone to school with. After 30 years they reconnected. I enjoyed meeting them and we all had a great time. We BBQ and watch the game. Not much different than being at home. Looking forward to a lazy week, with not alot going on. Bunco on Thursday and a Ladies Retreat on Saturday. I am in the " I don't want to think, just be" mode. But I did scrapbook a few pages yesterday. Daughter has another friend having a baby, It's a girl! So I get to create a Pink album. It has been awhile since I could do this, with all the boys around here. Also this page is my Very Best Friend In The Whole Wide World, Love this picture. Could not wait to work with it.... I like it alot.

Have a great week.

Have you ever had to choose between your family and your family. That is to say have you ever had to make a choice not to be involved in a event with your mother, father, sister brothers because your husband, child, grandchild had a event at the same time. Well, it is hard to do. Who should come first. The chicken or the egg, my parent family or my family. Well, as i am having to deal with this, please keep my sister in your prayers today. Have a great day, my friends....

Been in a wonderful place the last few days. Spiritually, I guess. Almost mellowed out. Very alert of things around me and seeing beautiful things in everyday occurrences. For instance: Sunday we took the grandsons to church. I had the 2 year old next to me. As the preacher started to speak, he said he would be preaching from Matt 6 . Dear hubby picked up the bible and turned to the chapter. See I am the one who always does this. And to see him do this was beautiful. A bible in my husbands hand is a beautiful sight.
I saw the 2 year old hug his brother after I had gotten on to him for snatching a toy away. He did not give him the toy but he did hug him, without me asking.
I saw a red a white striped tent in a field yesterday, old fashion tent revival. It was beautiful.
I got a new book on Sunday afternoon, Ali Edwards- Life Artist. I recommend it. She makes you look at things in a different way. And I think I like it. Stay Tuned for more inspired post.

New Treasures

A few months ago, a lady walked into my shop and ask if I would like to have the items in her arms. They had a shop in the 70's and these items had been packed away since. She told me they were building a home in Cleveland and ask if I would be interested in purchasing other items when they got moved. Well, that time was about 2 weeks ago. She called, I told hubby, we went and looked. And oh, my goodness, I got alot of new goodies. This picture is just a few items I had brought home to clean up. It took me almost a week to get them out. I still have a box full of old books. And a few thing that need to be researched. There was pearls, toys, books, magazines, glass, games, knifes,few coke items. occupied japan, so many treasures. So come on by and see what I old - new stuff I have.

Most of you know I am a fast scrapper and all my projects have to be done ASAP. I have to get on to other projects. Well, this is a first. This project has taken me a month to complete, mostly because I have limited time to create at home. Most of my supplies are at the shop, so I can create in the down times. We had alot of down time last month. I have been noticing houses on the blogs, magazines and web sites. So this is my creation. All in black and white...

The coolness in the air puts me in the mood to cook, bake and try new things. We have already had Taco Soup, beef stew and Molasses Cookies. And yesterday I was off work and boy did the kitchen look like a mad chef had been cooking. I made the following recipe for a breakfast casserole. I am enjoying it now, yum. Even took Mom and Dad 1/2 for this morning.
And by the way I halved the recipe and it still made 2- 8x 8 pans.
I love to pass along new recipes , enjoy!

1 loaf of white bread
2 cans cherry pie filling
2 blocks cream cheese
1 cup sugar- divided
2 tsp almond extract- divided
1/2 loaf french bread ( I used left over hamburger buns)
7 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cup half and half
1/4 cup powered sugar
1 cup sliced almonds
Cut white bread into one inch cubes and place into a greased 9x13 inch pan.
Spread cherries over the cubed bread.
Microwave cream cheese and mix well with 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Spread over cherries.
Cut French bread into one inch cubes and place on cream cheese mixture.
Beat eggs, add sugar and remaining extract and milk and cream. mix well.
Pour over french bread and cover.
Place in the fridge overnight.
Preheat oven @ 350 degrees
Bake covered with foil for 40 minutes, remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes.
Remove from oven and let set for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle with powered sugar and almonds.
Yum...
I might try it with apples next.

Need a good book

I love this weather, I caught myself looking through the same 2 magazines yesterday because they had fall decorations. I want a pot of mums, corn stalks , dried sunflower and pumpkins. I had the door open at the shop yesterday and the air conditioner too. (I am not crazy) Trying to catch alittle of the fall breeze, smell of pumpkin pies cooking and the crunching of the leaves underfoot. I have the bug, the fall bug. I even pulled out a few candles, pumpkin spice. But along with fall comes cool relaxing days with a good book. I need one. I realized it has been several months, maybe even 4 or 5 since I read a book. I use to always have a summer read, for vacation. A romantic novel, written at the beach. I choose my reading material around my activities. Do you? Well, my question to you is...What books have you read lately? I would love a few suggestions.

I know, I know, I have been a bad blogger the last few weeks. Well, last weekend was the Crop 2 Help Retreat , and it was great. I love hosting this event but I love more visiting with all my buddies. I talked, laughed, cried and hugged. Some of us have drama, in our lives, but for one weekend we forget or we talk about it. It is like therapy. We renew old friendships and discover new ones. I never complete alot on these retreats. I think it is the fellowship that brings many of us together again each year. We did have one funny event this year. We had a few new ladies to join us this year. One, had a 4 month baby at home and when someone dropped a plate, she slid in on her knees with a paper towel ready to clean up the mess. Almost like sliding into home plate, see there was two of us standing there trying to take care of it but Mrs Mommy is always ready. I wanted her and everyone else to relax and enjoy there time together. Leaving all the cooking and cleaning at home. Mommies need a weekend off every once in a while. And on Sunday afternoon, we said our goodbyes, back to our children, grandchildren, husbands, and work. They survived a weekend without us, my daughter had dinner started, house didn't look too bad and hubby was glad to see me. Oh, and I was maybe a little calmer, not so stressed, ready to take charge, maybe after a nap.

Today's challenge~ What is one thing you enjoy doing during the fall season?

I get all excited about the fall/Halloween decoration being in the stores, on the blogs and created in the magazines. I always want to decorate for Halloween. Spooky, skulls with snakes that are crawling out of the eyes. People that jump out and scare you. It is all the thrill, the rush of feeling scared on Halloween. It is fun, it is what all children should experience. This does not mean, I believe in the evil world of witches and warlocks . I want to be a kid again, when you dressed up in a costume you and your mom created. Out of old clothing, rags and sheets. And went door to door and scared your neighbors. Jumped out and screamed. Do you remember?

Days Gone By

Do you remember watching the telethons?

Watching the children and adults that was brought on to share their story.

The way families would sit for hours watching and not wanting to miss each tote board tally.

It was, in our family, a family event. We sat in our living room

watching every minute. The whole family watched.

We didn't contribute every year, but we watched and cheered for each and every penny that was given.

Children that went door to door, or had lemonade stands to raise money for Jerry's kids.

THEN, we had time, time to sit as a family and watch.

Time to go door to door, time to have a lemonade stand.

Today I am going to watch, if only for awhile to Jerry's Kids.

So take the time, on this Labor Day to Celebrate with Jerry.

Just some funny photo's of the grandsons. I brought them these from Nashville, they are suckers.

Have you ever bought candy or anything else that would make a photo op. Then you are a true scrap booker. Hope you have a funny

Labor day, and don't forget the camera.

CKU and a Tornado

_____________________

CKU was outstanding, everyone should go at least once. I have quit saying this is a once in a lifetime trip because I am going back in a few years. Jeanette and I have new best friends, I am sure you know Ali Edwards and Tim Holtz. Everyone was so nice and signed autographs when ever we ask.

One day while we were gone my sister-in-law called to check on me. Her daughter had been through Cleveland after the high winds ( per the news) and was stopped by police. No one was to go through there was too many trees in the road and impassable. I was in panic mode until I got in touch with home and all was well. This tree is now in my side parking lot of the shop. No one was hurt just a little damage. Check back for pics of CKU fun later this week. Washing and unpacking today, back to work tomorrow.

Just a quick note, I am getting ready for my CKU Nashville trip. Nothing new, just cleaning and packing. Sat and watched on The Food Network Top 5 Comfort Foods. I did not totally agree, so I got to thinking ....What are my Top 5 Comfort Foods

1. Mama's homemade mac and cheese
2. My Potato soup
3. Ice cream
4. Warm chocolate chip cookie
5. This homemade bread ( cheese and onion) ,
Cecelia, A friend makes it for me every once in a while.

What is your top 5????

I have been TAGGED!

I have put this off because anyone that reads my blog, know all there is to know about me because, I am a talker.

Do you Agree?

Anyway, here it goes, the good , the bad and the ugly.

1. I am a avid collector, of junk. This is a nice way to say I am a pack rat.

2. I think too much, I dwell on a subject. Ask my hubby.

3. I love pretty flower, use to like working in the yard but now I don't. Give me the air conditioned house.

4. I an insecure, it comes with being over weight.

5. I have a short attention spans. If I am not interested.

6. I see dead people,

no not really . But I have your attention again.

7. I Don't except change well. Give it to me slowly.

8. Only a few people know this-

I eat paper. News print. I know it is nasty.

But I always have. I know I am lacking in something,

and it is not a brain. not a lot just a small piece here and there.

9. I am allergic to bees, Wasp. But only since 2000.

10. I am running out of things to tell you, so I am going to challenge you.

Create a page about a item that triggers a child hood memory.

I know #5 is really kicking in right now, but anyway. I drank something the other day that triggered a memory. So I am going to create a page. I will post it later.

And now you have been tagged.

Oh My Goodness!

I was ( sorta ) mentioned on Teresa McFaydens blog.

Or at least the Charity crop was.

www.teresamcfayden.typepad.com/minutia

Check it out!

I found this little diddy on e-bay ( I think) made out of coin wrapper. Nice little album for Quotes or Journaling a special event.

As many of you know I also took off Tuesdays during the Summer, along with my usual Sunday and Mondays, to get caught up and relax. Well, all good things must come to a end. And yesterday was my last Tuesday. I don't think I accomplished alot on my days off but I was always ready to go back to the shop on Wednesday.

Well, the supplies are bought, new school clothes have been purchased, shoes too. We met the teacher, took all the supplies, seen his desk and had a hair cut. Forms are still to be filled out, but tomorrow is the day. And nothing will keep grandson#1 from starting 4th grade tomorrow.

I will make sure of that !!!!!!

Busy ! Busy! Busy! I am hosting a Baby Shower/ Ice Cream Social on Sunday afternoon. The new mom is having contraction, I have bought everything you can think of to top ice cream. Ready and waiting.

Decorations are simple and fun, check out Martha's web site for folded paper bowls. I found lot's of ideas there.

All that colored vellum, I bought and have not used, I have cut into circles and will lay them on the white table cloth for a polka-dot effect. I will take pictures.

So I promised her a scrapbook, hope to get started on it today at the shop. Let's see today is Wednesday and shower is Sunday. (5 days)

Wish me luck, it wouldn't hurt to ask the man upstairs to give me energy, and ideas....

Trash To Treasure

Well, this was made out of necessity. I was throwing my receipts in a drawer. So I took 3 used business size envelops and embellished them. I love it and it is handy and didn't cost a thing.....even better.

World's Longest Yard Sale

As some of you know we traveled this yard sale on Thursday and Friday.

I can only describe this adventure in one word

"HOT"

The next few pictures are items I bought to put in the store. And I found a 1800 photo album to alter at Jerri's Christmas Jubilee this year. It was a good thing.

This is the Altered Canvas that I made to donate to a silent auction for autism at CKU. Only 28 days till we leave. I am getting excited....

This was the sky yesterday when I was on my way to the book signing of Maelynns new Doddle Book. I believe GOD was guiding our way. The light was so bright that, I had to slow down and fumble for my camera. Inside I found friends and alot of fellowship. In this picture Maelynn is showing off Jeanette's published layout. Way to go girlfriend!!!!! It was so good to see all my scrappin buddies. I believe there is a few books left at Scrap Mania, ask when you go in. Congratulations to both Maelynn and Jeanette. So Maelynn, when is the next book coming out?

? Going Green ?

I watched a Show on Discover tonight about a Green Wedding. And I am more Eco friendly than I thought I was. But to tell you the truth it is because I was raised in the country and have the use it up up-bringing. We eat alot of what we grow, including beef. Well,I buy it. We eat vegetable in season. Put somethings in the freezer or can for the winter. We recycle alot. But this is because I am cheep. The wedding dress in this show was made of hemp and organic friendly material, but they touched on the fact that there is shops in NY that specializes in used gowns. You use a previously worn gown and donated it back. Is this not what Goodwill and Thrift stores are in the South. I would not go as far to say I am going organic. I like my burnt red hot dogs and a good beer every once in awhile. So I think if all this natural stuff is good for us then, fine and good. Let's all eat farm fresh vegetable and fruit. Support our farmers. They need it. I heard it quite a few times, at the strawberry patch, farmers make more $ selling their land to developers than farming. Our grandparents did it, but could we? Can you tell it is getting late and I am babbling. Think about it, Green or not.

This is a shell I found while at the beach. Some would have throwed it back, I on the other hand thought picture frame. Thinking outside the box, once again. Waited for the perfect picture and added tacky glue and instant frame. So I challenge you to find a " outside the box" frame this summer.

This little girl had on a new dress at church today, that looked just like Elsie paper. Don't you think so? Busy day, maybe more tomorrow. Have a great Sunday.

Auction

We have been to auctions the last two weekend and I have no camera to show all the goodies. Camera is only 3 months old and is at the shop, more on this subject later.

But I will try and tell you about all my treasures.

I seem to buy in trends, like some days are bottle days or wooden boxes. Two Saturdays ago it was a paper day. Old pictures, old letters from the 1800's, news paper articles, maps, and ledger paper. A old playpen that I see as a set of corner shelves. I will take before and after pictures of this one. It was a good day. This Saturday, was a good day too. I got old vintage Valentines, a box of trim for altered projects and a old handmade wagon toy. I got 3 bookshelves for $5.00 each and a old primitive green potting table. I always go crazy over paper items and old black and whites. I even sometimes sell them in the store.

It has been really busy around here this summer and it looks like this next months is no different. Stay Tuned.

So many pictures and i can't decide which ones or one is my favorite.....I guess i will just have to hang them all on the walls of my heart.

I found this little diddy last year, I keep hanging on to it for the next photo session.

HAPPY WEEKEND!

Had a few days of R and R at the beach with my hubby of 25 Years. This is a pic I took before we left. Don't know how it all began. But sometimes I think it is a same to throw these pieces away. So I started adding them to this vase and here they are. I guess we can call them altered Flowers.

While I was looking at a old decorating Magazine yesterday I came across a frame Heidi Swapp had made. ( Home Companion) This is my version. No glass, and the pages flip up to reveal more pages. All sewn to hing up and out. Love it! Love it!

Interesting Photos I found on Flicker.

Bet you didn't know.

I have just finished making my first patch of strawberry wine.

It is red, sweet, and wet. That is about all I can say about it. I am not a wine drinker, but the people that buys berries to make wine had me curious. So I talked to them and came up with a very simple recipe.

And waaalaaa,

I have wine.

Now I can add "vintner" to my resume.

vint·ner /ˈvɪntnər/
a person who makes wine or sells wines.

Are you Ready to Bunco?

Played for the first time last night, and liked it. If you haven't played, you need too.

Good time, lot's of laughs, good food, there is a crown to wear when you " Bunco".

But guess who didn't bring a camera.

Maybe next month.

I will play again.

Next month I will have my game on.

Well, Okay, I can make a mosaic with Flickr too. And I had more strawberry pictures to share. I am back at the shop this week, strawberries are on their way out fast. Enjoying some down time, June is a slow month. Maybe i will get caught up on my scrapbooking.

Hey, if you know your camera and you can make a old tractor tire look good, what do you think?

A week or so ago, hubby and I went on the (much cooler )Hwy 11 yard sale. This is what I found. I have a collection( just started) of butter pats. Do you remember them? Well, this one was perfect for me, old and yellowed, I love it. And the Pin cushions, hand made and used alot. Love em! I got the book because it is red, loved the spine....The green item is a clothes line, retractable clothes line. And then there is my collection of jars. Mostly peanut butter, but I just love each and everyone. And hubby thought i was buying for the store........

Do you have a favorite Quote or saying?

I watch church signs for unique quotes, I try to write them down when I see one I want to remember. I can never remember them, guess it has something to do with getting older. Lisa Bearson has asked for Quotes on her blog and I found one I like.

"No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings". William Blake

What is your favorite?

Post them to the comments, so we can all see them.

Can't wait to see them.

* FRIENDS *

Life changes, for a reason.

We move on.

We may change jobs and the work friends we have, we may not see day to day .

we may lose contact with

scrappin friends .

friends move and sometimes it seems to hard to stay in touch.

You don't want to bother a friend that is going thru something.

Just remember, time will heal, time will bring friends back, they are sometimes still close.

Closer than you think.

m

Hello friend,

good to hear from you.

I have missed you!

And thought of you often.

j

Mother,

Thank you for leading me along this path, the path that sometimes I did not follow. But now I realize you wanted the best for me. And I know I did not make it easy at times. I knew how to push those buttons. I am what I am because of your encouragement. Your strength, your spirit, your support, your courage, your persistent nature, your help your love.

And I want to say thank you!

I love you.

RECIPE #2

Ladies are always ready to pass along their favorite recipe. Today I was told to buy a angel food cake. and break it into large hunks. Place them in a Trifle bowl and set aside, cut up your berries and add sugar to taste, set aside. Now mix together one can of sweetened condensed milk and a block of cream cheese. pour this over the cake and then berries and cool whip. Let it set up for a hour or so before serving. ENJOY!!!

Stuffed Strawberries with Walnuts

Mix together, 3/4 cup whipped cream cheese,

2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts,

1/2 teaspoon powered sugar ( to taste)

1/2 to 1 and 1 /2 teaspoon milk

place in a ziplock bag and cut the corner off.

This will allow you to pipe this mixture into the strawberries.

Cut a thin slice off the steam end of the berry allowing it to stand upright.

With the berry sitting on its stem end, with a knife gently scoop out pulp from the tip

end. creating a pocket to pipe the walnut cream mixture.

Yummy!!!

*****************Update****************

( must be read using your Jerry Reed Funny voice)

You should'a seen it, streaking through the pole bean, naked as a jay bird. I looked up and seen Ethel. I screamed " Don't look Ethel" bout that time I heard Ethel scream. And a bald cat ran across her feet.

Yes this reporter seen it, Mikia gotta hold some scissors and gave this here cat a trim. Pictures to follow, if'in this here cat will come to me so I can take a picture.

Sorry I had to spoof alittle on it ... The cat is not hurt, but he did have a little trim. We didn't even notice but I found hair on Makia and starting looking for a source. I have a pair of scissors I keep on my potting bench to trim flowers. And yes he gave the cat a trim. I also found a orange with a screw driver through it. Yesterday I found my salt and pepper shaker outside and dumped in a flower pot. Where am I when this is going on??? We have noticed he comes to you asking for hugs, and if we go right then, we find things he has done...

Stay tuned for updates.

Personality Check..... (Nanny pride)
Our little one has been developing a personality of his own , for awhile. But the last two days he has been at the farm with me for a couple of hours in the afternoon. I told him when a car pulls up, you should say hello and ask " would you like to pick berries today. But he waits until you open your door and he goes to the car before you get out and says hello, berry? jabber jabber jabber, I know he is asking if you need buckets or if you would like the berries we have already picked. Everyone pays alot of attention to him and he is in 2 year old heaven. The last few days he comes to me 25 times a day and wants a hug, and then as he has me all pulled into his cuteness, he slaps his brother. This is my wild one. God help us all.

Guess what they are doing? Maybe picking strawberries. It was a wonderful day for picking today, the weather was just right. I even had a jacket on this A.M. I know it will not last but it was nice today. I still love being outside but after 4 weeks of being at the strawberry patch I can say I need a vacation from being there. People don't seem to realize berries only last so long and the length of the season depends on the weather. Yes, I would say I need some time off. Maybe only a afternoon.

Read what Vicki had to say about the strawberries.........

Vikki said...
Love the new look of your blog! It looks so fresh! Also the strawberries ROCK!! My son was like wow these are so sweet and they even feel different than strawberries from Wal-mart! It has been along time since he had berries straight out of the garden. Maybe back soon!!

We are now on the down side of the Strawberry Season, maybe only a week and a half or 2 weeks left.

Thanks Vicki, we are glad you enjoyed them......
