Another Day on the Hunt!

A wonderful morning and lunch with my partner in crime, Deb of Twicenice.blogspot.com  We hit a garage sale, thrift stores, and a few Goodwills.  Deb found many a treasure, and I found but a few.  But,  they are good treasures.  Wood, wood, and more wood.  I can't seem to pass up a lazy susan or some wooden fruit to upcycle.  I found this AWESOME small table.  I am just itching to get it painted and ready for sale.  My Mom has been quite a God-send, putting initial coats of paint on items and waxing her little heart out!   She works for chocolate shakes which are totally in my budget!  I am off to work on some treasures!  Oh, Happy Day!

Long Time, No Hear... But, now I am back!

4 of the 5 of us!

Hello out there in BLOGLAND!  After much bally-hoo, I am back.  We had an incredible show in October and met many wonderful people.  
Our show was quite successful, and we learned many things within its process:
 1) What a great bunch of ladies! 

   2) Our customers are FABULOUS!

   3)  We couldn't have done it without our wonderful husbands!                                                                      
Thank Goodness for Super Smart Spouses!
Now to the serious stuff:
As you may notice, I haven't been on here since October.  Well, there is an explanation for that...LIFE!
All the uncertainty of unplanned things dropping in your lap and effecting everything around you.
The fall and winter have not been very kind to this ol' girl.  However, with much prayer, and prayers from everyone, family and friends... I have made it through a most difficult season!  To sum up:  My oldest son got married (with only a 5 day notice) to his high school sweetheart while home on leave.  MRI's, CTscans, 2 surgeries, my youngest having a major seizure, bronchittis, infections, confinement to bed, pain, and the uncertainty of more surgeries.  PHEW!  Isn't that enough?  So... I was on major bed rest, but it wasn't the "Oh, I am bored what shall I do?" kind, it was the "I am in so much pain... I can't even move!" kind.

 Did I mention that it was also FOOTBALL 
SEASON!  Okay, that is big in our home!
Cheering for his brother!
We play football, watch football, practice 
football, eat, sleep, and breath football.
We love FOOTBALL! 






As I was finally returning to some sense of normalcy... My AWESOME friend DEB (twicenice.blogspot.com), brought me over a chair she found that needed a little TLC.  Once I was able to finally be up and about... It served as my Rehab Chair.  Getting me back in the swing of things!  She really knew what this girl needed!
I'll post some transition photos soon!



Some pedestal bowls that I did for our house


So with all that said... I am still praying for health, knowledge, and patience! 

PS.  Thanks Deb, twicenice@blogspot.com for kicking my butt in gear!
