Hi, I'm hoping that my blog and my experiences will help to encourage you. Our journey through life can be unpredictable at times but KNOW that if you are a believer in Christ, HE will always have your best interest at heart! (Even when things don't make sense!) Toodles

Santa Mugs

Standard

IMG_0649Every Grammy should have “Santa Mugs” for hot chocolate & grandkids.  My grandmother had them for my brother and I.  I’ve been wanting them for awhile now but they were either too big or too expensive.  I found these at the “Dollar Store” – yep just a buck!  They’re adorable, just the right size for kids and no one will be heart broken if one gets dropped! Technically I only have 2 grandkids buttttt surely more will come and I’ll be ready! 🙂

“Topgolf”

Standard

We had a staff event yesterday for Christmas at “Topgolf”.  What a blast!  So much fun & good food.  If you have a chance to check them out you should.  You don’t even have to be a “golfer”, it’s all based on points.  They have “bays” that you golf from (6 people to a bay), they have clubs and balls so you just have to show up and have fun.  It’s down in Centennial.  I want to take the kids!

Ready for Guests!

Standard

I have this little niche in my kitchen and thought it was a perfect spot for a coffee bar.  I bought the furniture piece awhile back because it was tall, perfect size & had lots of storage.  I love it and decided to dress it up for Christmas – come on over for a cup of coffee! 😉

I bought the tray at Hobby Lobby, the little Christmas Bird at Michael’s, the metal icicle ledge from decorsteals.com and I had the rest of the stuff.  Thanks to my friend Sherry who gave me the “Fresh Coffee” sign – it’s made of wood and adorable!

My Own Little Farm Quilt

Standard

My cousin, Laura who lives in California is a quilter and has made some beautiful quilts.  I just received a gift from her and it was this adorable little “Farm Quilt”!  Her card read that I should have my own little farm quilt to wrap my grandbabies in, to have tea parties on or for starry nights – how stickin’ cute is that!!  I just love it – it brought tears to my eyes to have something so special!  Thank you Laura!!!! xoxo

Master Bath & Some Pretty

Standard

I still have to paint the ceiling and add the light fixture over the tub, but I couldn’t take it anymore – not have some pretty things in there!  I already had most everything – I bought the white metal wall cabinet by the tub (Home Goods), the towels (still have the tags, from Tuesday Morning) and the shelf over the toilet – welllll I bought the brackets at Hobby Lobby and the wood shelf is actually a piece of wood I salvaged from the back porch – it was a support in between the roof rafters, lol.  😉

Master Bath is Up & Functioning!

Wayne came over last Thursday and was an excellent supervisor!! I got the water valves for the vanity and toilet on and the vanity hooked up.  Then Friday night I put the toilet in which was much easier than I anticipated – thank goodness!  Love my new Delta toilet.  So, tub, vanity & toilet are in – still need to finish the closet and get the shower tiled and functioning.  We’ll seeeee about the shower tile – hoping “I” won’t have to do it and hoping to get that done before Christmas.  THANK YOU WAYNEY for all you help!!!

My Tub is IN!! Yippee

Standard

The plumber finished my tub last night – yippee!  It looks beautiful!  Hoping to get the vanity & my new Delta toilet done tonight.  Wayne & Carol are coming by, Wayne is a retired plumber and overall handyman kinda guy.  I’ve asked him to supervise my installation, lol.  I’m kind of excited – I love learning how to do this stuff. (The tub was above my pay grade.)

Master Bath

Standard

Mirror hung! Faucet attached!  Plumber coming tonight to hopefully finish my tub!! Then I just need to hook up the faucet and new toilet to the plumbing.  I found the mirror a few months ago at Home Goods and my faucet is from Home Depot and it’s Kingston Crystal Knob Satin Nickel. LOVE! 😉
