The Lord Works in Mysterious ways.

Well, I have sat here today and in my travels and allowed my storm that I am in nearly flood my will. I have been struggling with keeping my spirits high and my thoughts bright. I am looking around and realizing that I have not enjoyed the holiday season, I have not been grateful for the blessings that I have before me. I am shamed because I have looked at my Have nots instead of my Haves. God will keep me and protect me. I have to be patient and strong and weather what I am going through. I have read a few blogs today and come across people who are going through things as am I and I stumbled upon this blog who has a song posted on her site, "I am Blessed" When I came across this I began to weep. My mommy sings this song often. As a little girl I remember Sunday mornings and waking up to the smell of Jimmy Dean sage sausage and biscuits and gravy and mom and dad singing hymns and songs. Mother always sang and sings this song of praise. Thank You Hoosier Stamper for that post. I have to go grocery shopping and then I think I am going to clean up my craft room. I think this Friday night I have some crafting to do. Crafting and Praying. I have to center my self and prepare for the rest of my storm. God Bless you and your families.

Drabby to Shabby in 6 months. Home Sweet Home.

Welcome Darlings. Well here are some pictures of my humble home. 

Above are two pieces that a very dear friend gave to me. These are solid and very heavy. 

My small but very nice kitchen. Red was my theme and I was able to find red appliances and pots and pans. 

My most fav. wall in the whole home. 

My hall. I  love this space, its small but I am adding things and decor to it a little at a time. 

Shabby shelf I repainted and a few little decorations. 

Bullet box in the small bathroom. I am currently using it to hold toilet paper. 

The love of my life currently. Nemo is very happy here. 

Christmas Time!!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone. I am ready for Santa, are you? 

Well, I have finally been able to decorate my house for the season and I wanted to show you all what I have done. I did not realize how much stuff I had and didn't have when I started. 

I did have a Christmas counter and a Cute Christmas picture. I got both pieces at Marshalls in Virginia a few years ago. If you look closely you might be able to see the tag on the counter. 

Well I realize I am "that" person. You are looking at my stocking, Nemo's stocking, my roomates stocking and his dogs stocking. We are "those" dog people apparently. LOL! 

My TREE!!!! Isn't it cute? AND AND AND because of my wonderful mom I have a ladder. :-) Thanks Mom. I am really excited, so much so the "present" under the tree is an empty box. The tree looked naked with out it. 

Well its getting late. I hope that all of you are ready for that wonderful time of year. 

God Bless

Its beginning to look alot like Christmas!

Hello all. I know I have been gone for some time but I promise I have been a busy bee. Well I have fallen on some unfavorable times but as I was so aggressively reminded by my roomie, God will  put no more on you than you can with stand. So here I stand. I have been trying to utilize my resources and talents and make something out of nothing as my mother would say. We come from a long line of making something out of nothing women. 

Well I have not been able to work on my killer scrapbook page but I have begun decorating my home for Christmas. Now my apartment is on the 3rd floor and in a pitiful attempt to take a picture of what I have done I got this:

I put icicle lights up around my railing and my tree is in front of the sliding door, so everyone can see it. I love it. I am going to try and post better pictures soon.
