Rescued!

Remember the candle ring I rescued from Love Bunny's garage sale earlier this month? Well, here is what I did with it. Easy peasy! Cheap straw wreath I got at 1/2 off at Joanns, white tissue garland and the candle ring. I pinned everything on in seconds. Yep, I broke the cardinal rule of crafting—NO HOT GLUE. See what you can do!

Random Thoughts:


The other day I took my car through the car wash and just loved the new one that we used. It's new to our town and it really cleans the outside extremely well. But the best part was that I could go inside the wash and pick my nose without anyone seeing. I'll bet all of you reading this understand that! ;-)

I was reading an article on line recently about Guantanamo and found it very enlightening so I salute those military men who have to guard the terrorists. Did you know that the faces of the guards cannot be televised or photographed? Did you know that they cannot wear name badges for their own security also? Did you know that the terrorists can pray but we can't here at any public function? Just how mad does that make you? They can have prayer but your child in school cannot bless his/her food before eating it.

Ooooh, and get this one: The EPA is thinking of banning lead in bullets. Yep, they don't want a criminal to die of lead poisoning if the bullet doesn't do the trick. Sad but absolutely true.

Back in 1963 or 1964 hubs and I had our 2 children and we needed a car. Ours had broken down and was not fixable so we went to the local Dodge dealer after seeing an ad for a new Valiant. It cost $2,000 for that brand new Valiant, but we couldn't qualify because we were in the military and were so lowly paid. I hope our troops today are better off. I would gladly give a tiny bit more tax if they men who guard and defend this wonderful country would be exempt from paying any income tax at all—federal or state. God bless those fighting men!

I should love to have this said about me when I depart this earth:
She'd been so beautiful for so long that nobody really listened to her. They were overwhelmed by the visuals.

Some people just love shoveling manure over the seeds of truth.

Human beings are a precious resource.

Do not be fearful of life's decisions.

Roses & Easter Chick Box

And the winner is:

Vickie!





And I was wondering what in the world I was going to do with all the ruffles I had left over from my aprons!!!! I found a place for them. Maybe more will come. We'll see, chicks! Surprise!!!!!


I made this little box, actually it's a medium box, painted it white and added polka dots and then a bareroot roses fabric ruffle around the bottom. The middle has a paper garland with grass and a ribbon rose and 2 little pink chicks with a mama chick!! It 's not only cute but it would look darling in a romantic cottage!!


Now, what do you have to do to obtain this little cutie? Well, I'm gonna tell ya, chicks. This is a giveaway for spring! All you have to do is post your name on THIS post and I'll draw a name tomorrow morning and that's the winner. What could be easier?! I'm just on a giveaway mood today and this is what I've been working on the last few days.

Now, don't be shy. Just comment on here. You might wanna tell your friends also! We need more than 2 names, chickadees!! Be good to your friend and you may help her win something and then they'll be eternally grateful and maybe they'll even buy you a Dove chocolate bar!! Yummmmmmm...... Good luck, my little chickadees and bunnies!

Oh, you might have noticed that there are 2 signs on the box. Well, actually, my group of PRH chicks are going to enter but it might be won by someone "just passing by"! So if you're not a PRH chick the Chickadee sign will be on there.
