> First week done back to work and did it ever feel good to sleep in this morning. got all my inside work done and now I went to head outside today. 60 degrees expected...can you believe it! Makes Winter a little more tolerable. Here is what we have left for snow. See the one little pile across the drive-way?

I wanted to show you what I tweaked today after I was done looking at Pinterest. I could look at Pinterest Boards all day.

Blogger has a mind of it's owns sometimes. Don't know why it turned out with this layout. Oh Well! Enjoy Your Saturday!! ~Earlene~~

Sunday project

Hope everyone had an enjoyable Sunday.

We had snow and rain and felt like staying in all day.

I signed up to do Amys at Bumble Bee Lane Valentine Swap and decided to pull out my hooking supplies. This is one thing I plan on swapping with a partner ( don't know yet) and I can't believe it has been 16 years since I have done this. Yikes! I hope it turns out good and using colors I had left over. I know I would like to get into hooking again, I do enjoy it, hard to sit so I have to get up many times. I will finish it by next weekend.

AND

I wanted to let you know Dawns husband Dick is making the piece for me on the last post I did so if anyone else would like one made go to Dawn at Holly Hills Primitives and request it and tell them I sent you. I have one blogger friend already who wants one. Dick does a wonderful job...you should see the furniture he makes!

~Have a wonderful week~

Decorating Tip Help

I love this piece and am thinking about getting it but not sure where I would put it and how would I use it? What would you put in it? It's about 21 inches tall 11 inches wide.

I hope you all had a good day. Our company left this morning and I was off to my annual Mammogram appointment. Scary when they tell you they want to do and ultrsound...did it and all is okay...thank goodness! After,I did stop at an estate sale and picked up a really cute basket. After that I met 2 of my friends from work for lunch. Have you ever had an Appletini drink...very good. I had fish and chips for lunch. Back to work on Monday...these 2 weeks went by SSOOOO fast, but I caught up on much needed rest and relaxation. 2013 here I come. ~~Have a wonderful weekend~~ Earlene

Farewell 2012

Last day to 2012 and plans are to stay home and chill. I think I will stay in my pj's all day and watch movies and work in my Word Search. Nothing exciting but no stress here.
I do need to get ready for Norms brother and SIL who are driving up from Texas and staying with us until Friday.
Simple dinner..easy to fix comfort food and filling.

Chicken and Dumplings

Looking forward to blogging this year and sharing and reading your stories.

Have a safe and Happy New Year 2013

~~Cheers~~

I can not believe Christmas has come and gone. It is so exciting planning all the celebrations with family and friends and poof...it is over. But we had a great time, great food and new memories.

Rachel, Lauren, Nathan, Madison growing so fast.

Wrapping paper everywhere

This was the sunrise Christmas morning...so beautiful. Well I have to admit today I spent all day reorganizing, cleaning and packed away all my decorations. I get tired of looking at all of it. I did leave some snowmen in my bay window but that is it. Yesterday morning I did manage to get to the grocery store before the storm hit. It snowed so hard that I could not see the barn across the driveway. I have cabin fever big time so tomorrow I am taking off to go shopping. Catch the after Christmas sales. It has been fun reading about your holiday celebrations. Now time for New Years planning. Happy New Year ~~Earlene~~

It's snowing!!!!!!

BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE

Ho-Ho-HO

Friday was my last day of work and starting my 2 week vacation...so today I plan on working on my last minute shopping. It shouldn't be too bad since I have most of it done. Last night after work I did all my grocery shopping for Christmas Eve dinner. I expected it to be very busy but I got in and out...done! It must be people were in the malls and retail stores. We did finally get some snow on the ground so we will have a White Christmas. That is all I wanted and family to be together on Christmas Eve. Ham,potatoes,calico beans,brussel sprouts, sugersnap peas, veggie tray, rolls and variety of cheeses and crackers. My daughters will bring a dis to pass. The excitement and fun will soon be here. Enjoy your weekend blog friends and I want to catch up on all of you...not a lot of time to blog lately. ~~Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2013~~ PS...I did move my cubby from my hubby on my porch:0( ~Earlene~

Happy Hump Day

Remember this? I need suggestions what to do. Should I keep it in, put outside, or take it back? I think it has wood bugs because I keep finding little piles of white dust mounds. Does spraying help? ~~Have a wondeful Wednesday~~ Earlene

TGIF

This will be me this weekend.....LAZY!!!!!!! ~~Enjoy our Weekend~~ Earlene
