Sweet Finds

Hello Sweet Friends

And Happy Weekend!!!

I thought I'd share a few treasures I have found in recent days

You may know I have been on the hunt

For Sea Glass

I still just have that one special piece

Well, today I took a mental health day

Went to a couple of my favorite shops

I was getting tired and almost didn't stop at the last place

But alas, I was close and it called my name

I am SO happy that I went it

Because, right as I walked in the door

I spied two sweet little jars

Filled with sea glass

Be Still My Heart

Since I had my 'April Showers - Bring May Flowers'

Discount flower with me

I bought both jars

Win~Win

I also picked up this little #2 fishing weight

To go with my #3

Love them hanging in my beachy office

I have never purchased a calendar plate

However, this one called my name

1981, the year I was married

Red Transferware, my favorite color

Yes, Please!

A Happy piece that I will treasure

$5

A couple weeks ago I found this beauty

At a garage sale

I usually try to find #3

But I wasn't about to pass up this piece for $30

It sits beautifully on my kitchen counter

Next to my Magnolia Crock

And I found one more Treasure

Yesterday

In My Mailbox

No, it not sea glass

But this sweet, sweet mug and gift card

A mother's day gift from a far away friend

Whom I am growing to love more and more

She has blessed my heart several times

And when I found this, well, I cried

This blogging day mug will be used daily!!

Thank you Dear Friend!!

There you go

Some sweet treasures that have been added to my little abode

A happy mental health day

And a fun weekend ahead

God is Good

I pray that YOU are blessed this weekend

Whether you are a mom or not

Whether you have a mom or not

I'm sure you know a mom

I'm praying you are blessed with good weather

Sweet family and friends

Great food, lots of relaxation

And all of God's Best

Blessings, Cindy

Love Language

Hi Sweet Friends

Happy Heart Day

I'm sure most of us have read

Gary Chapmans' Book

The 5 Love Languages

1. Acts Of Service

2. Gifts

3. Physical Touch

4. Quality Time

5. Words of Affirmation

Many years ago I read the book

And found my Love Language to be

Gifts

Surprised?

No!!

I have, though, always been embarrassed of that gift

I feel like it makes me a 'materialistic' person

Yet, I personally don't think it has anything to do with that

I've read enough to know

That it really is just what makes us tic

Anyway,

Being a 'Gift' person

Doesn't just mean I like to 'get' gifts

It also means that I LOVE to Give Gifts

For the past two weeks I've been

Gathering the items needed to make my

Annual goodies for the staff

That work at the office I work in

I totally Love to make little Valentine gifts for the girls

Even the act of putting these together makes me happy

Creating the little tags and

Adding the goodies

IE: candy, confetti, sequins, etc

Gives me JOY

Friday I took these cute little bags of goodies

Into the office and gave one to each employee

I just love handing them out

What surprised me this year

Is that I never really even thought of getting anything

I usually don't get anything

BUT

This Year

I was surprised

I received a package on Thursday

From Kris

Who sent a wonderful bag of treats

And a great coloring book

Color Me Happy

I Say

Thank you KRIS

On Friday I received another package from Stephanie

She sent a sweet hand made Mug Rug

I didn't have one and LOVE this beautiful piece

I will enjoy using it daily

Thank you STEPHANIE

As I was preparing to leave the house Saturday morning

I heard a knock on the door

Surprise

A friend from work stopped by to share

A couple of her beautiful roses with me

Thank you DIANNE

While babysitting my granddaughters on Saturday

My K~Bel gave me this totally cute

Ponies Valentine Card

I cannot remember the last time I got such a cute 'real'

Valentine Card

Thank you K~BEL

"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

Luke 6:38

I never decide to give so it will be given back

However, I am So very grateful that God has

Chosen to place people in my life

Who have blessed me so

May your Heart Day

Be Blessed
So You can be a Blessing to someone Else!!

PS
My youngest is in the hospital again

The Week In Photos

Hi Sweet Friends

It's been busy this week

And I didn't have time to do any decorating

So, I thought I'd just share a few photos from the week

This is my oldest son and his middle daughter K~Bel

They went to the father/daughter dance at her school Friday night

They had a great time

They stopped by my house afterward

K~Bel's first words to me as I opened the door

With a HUGE smile on her face were:

"Nana, I had SO MUCH SUGAR"

She cracks me up!!

Well, sugar or not

She is a sweet girl

I did a little coloring this week

Very relaxing

And, I needed some relaxation

After working on my taxes this week

We were up all night on Saturday

103+ fever for Madi

Spent Sunday morning in the UC

Influenza B

Tamiflu, fluids, Ibuprofen and rest in the days ahead

Hoping to get some sleep tonight

Watching the Super Bowl this afternoon

So far, so good

We'll see

Who are YOU rooting for?

Well, that is, If you are a football fan!

See my Header photo?

Well, Yeah!

Ummm...Stress will do that to you

I'm praying you have a great week

Remember

Valentine's Day is not just for Couples

Lots of single folks find this week hard or sad

Please

Be intentional about blessing someone you know

Give an extra Hug

Hand out little pieces of Yourself this week

You will be glad you did!!!!

Blessings to ALL

The Best Part of Super Bowl Sunday and a Find...

It is true 

That I was quite pleased to see 

New England win the Super Bowl

And there were a few good commercials

Yet, those weren't the best part of Super Bowl Sunday

Nope!

The BEST part was

Watching my 2 boys and 3 granddaughters play

Son #1 bought this Mustang for K-Bug when she was 18 months old

All three K's have loved to play and drive it

As well as numerous cousins

However

I don't think anyone has had as much fun

As those 5 kiddos had on Super Bowl Sunday

Even though they lost a rider 

They all laughed and laughed

Until the 2 boys

ran out of energy

Can you see how happy they were

Caption the above photo

I'll choose the best for a Give-Away
