Oh my gosh – I CANNOT believe pre-season football begins TONIGHT!!! That means the Summer is over and Fall is around the corner!! I doooo love Fall, it’s my favorite season of all but seriously . . . where did the Summer go? Hey Mom . . . here’s their schedule 😉
Gooooooo Broncos!!!!
When I had my granite put in several years ago I bought this new faucet by American Standard at Home Depot. The faucet started leaking a couple weeks ago. I found the model online and called them because I wasn’t sure what parts I needed to replace. Did you know that if you are the original owner they will replace any parts for free!!!! Buy American Standard! 😉

I think I have a raccoon living under my deck!! A couple years ago I noticed a hole in the lattice work at the end of my deck. I blocked it up with some bricks and that was the end of that! A few days ago I saw that the lattice was TORE up, bricks moved and a BIG whole!! It’s got to be a raccoon right?! Or a small human- LOL! I’ll be called animal control! I wonder if they handles this??? We’ll see . . .
I’ve alwayssss told my friends when scrap-booking to save your scraps. You just never know when you might need that little piece of scrap paper that is just perfect for the next project! Well I hate to even tell you (so I won’t) how long ago I pulled up the carpet in my front room and put down Pergo laminate flooring (I also did my kitchen). But when I did, I didn’t finish the very small coat closet. Soooo, since I’m wanting to sell my house I have a check list of things I need to complete and the coat closet was on my list.  When I got to the back of the closet I needed a board 3″ deep to finish it off and I didn’t have a jig saw to cut one down. Soooo, I will tell you that I was doing a happy dance when I found the PERFECT 3″ deep board at the right length to finish it off . . . . because I had kept my scraps!!!! Yahooooo!!! Just a tip . . . . if you don’t want to replace your old beat up baseboards (it WAS just a closet) remove them, take out the nails, fill the holes with wood putty, clean them off & polish them with DARK – Old English Polish – it’s amazing!! Oh, and I number them so I can remember which one goes where – it’s a bit easier to put them back exactly where they came from! 😉
Summertime is around the corner and my backyard deck is in need of a makeover! I would love to replace all the deck boards with something like TREX but, yeah that’s not going to happen – too much moola. So I found an alternative solution . . . there are these two products at Home Depot. I prefer to use Home Depot because I have a gift card there 😉 . . . I’ve done the research, read the reviews but it just seems like it depends on who you talk to, soooooo I’m wondering if any of you have used either of these products or know of someone else that’s used them??? I thought I’d try out using a “poll” . . . thought it might be fun and would love your input!! If this poll is successful maybe you can help me pick out the color 😉
Found a very cool new app! My friend Sherry, in California told me about this new app and I just love it! It turns any of your photos into a watercolor & they are high quality if you decide to print them. Here’s a “selfie” I took of me, Amie & Matthew. The icon and link are below . . . have fun!
This is the most excellent allergy medicine!! I just take 1 full teaspoon everyday beginning a month before allergy season hits. It has worked for me for years! It needs to be from a local supplier and should be “raw & unfiltered”. YUMMMMM
I’ve had a ton of hits on my Realtree Mambo Tennis Shoes. I found the phone number I used to pre-order them and spoke with Realtree yesterday. They’re not doing pre-orders any more because it became to overwhelming BUT she did tell me where you can buy them online!!! Here you go . . . . http://www.olddominionfootwear.com/

WordPress did an “end of the year” review for my blog that includes some interesting facts . . . thought I’d share it (some of you are even mentioned). I always love to see how many views come from different countries – 48 countries to be exact!! Thank you ALL for your support in this endeavor!! Looking forward to seeing what God has in-store for me in 2014!!! Here we go . . .
Here’s an excerpt: A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,700 times in 2013. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 6 trips to carry that many people.
I have a few pics in my kitchen that I took in Italy (my Mediterranean theme). I’m replacing them with country photos. Here is a pic I took and enhanced it a bit by using “Snapseed” and “Over” (photo apps). “Snapseed” can change the look of your photos and with “Over” you can add your own verbage to your photos. Both apps can be downloaded from the Apple Store but this is the website for Snapseed’s FREE download . . . http://tinyurl.com/lyr3bbq.
