Mother's Day Blessings

No better picture depicts my kids than this picture. This is their true form.

I'm so thankful to have children that make me laugh, make me cry and make me proud!

Didn't ever think I get to this spot......they're almost all grown up!

Makes me kind of sad.

They've turned in to some pretty amazing people.

Thanks guys for letting me know...I did good!!!

Loving the Minis...

Sometimes things work how you want them to. Even on the small scale.

I'm definitely loving these little pictures using black and white pics and watercolors.

And they're the size of a small matchbox.

Now to the next step....

what should they become???

I'll keep you posted!

A Week of Prayer

Sometimes life throws a horrible situation at you....and you pray. And you pray some more.

Lots of visits to church, adoration and silent prayer in the quiet of my car.

The situation didn't have a happy ending but knowing he's in heaven and at peace is solice.

I am so thankful for my faith and the way it has guided my family.

Along the way I've been blessed to learn college students are an amazing group of people.

I've never seen young people come together for someone they didn't know but were supporting friends. You are truly amazing!!

I pray the 10 people that were lucky enough to have a part of him are on the road to recovery and know what a blessing he was!

Oh Frank...we'll miss you!

God Bless Us All,

Lonnie

Birthday Wishes...

Friday Finds

Boy has somebody been looking over my shoulder. Check out this couch I bought today at the church rummage sale. Rummage...I think not. It's fantastic. Even the fabric isn't half bad.

But I'm thinking maybe something more cream and chocolate!

We'll see....just couldn't pass it up.

A few little trinkets. Loved....loved...loved the old bible.

And what girl wouldn't want a miter saw for $15. Well, I've been wanting one for years and it just said pick me....pick me.
Works like a dream too!

Have a fun weekend everyone!

I Have Amazing Friends...

Wow have my friends been thinking of me lately.

I'm so blessed to have such good friends!

This book arrived a couple of weeks ago from Colleen. She knew I would love it.

And boy was she right. The recipes are amazing. The stories fabulous.

So far...fantastic. I've tried the cinnamon rolls and onion strings.

What a hit they've been!

Can't wait to try some more recipes.
Hubby thanks you too...he even read the book!

And this arrived today.

Natalie just knows me to well.

I guess being known

as the "dairymaid", as Stacy says, has its pluses.
Isn't it amazing.

The little people are so adorable.

Isn't it wonderful to have friends that just "GET YOU"

Thanks Girlies!!!

I love them!

A Look Inside

Thought I'd offer you a peak inside my art room.

The old hosier is my soldering, torching and grinding station.

All my glass and supplies are stored inside.

The fabric covered table is full of vintage linens and ribbons.

My sewing station. This one doesn't get used as much as it should.

I really miss sewing!!

Jewlery making work station.

The hummer of a wall unit. It's 7 feet long and almost 8 feet tall.

Let just say it holds a lot!

I should have taken pictures of the built in closet.

It's all organized now with tons of storage bins.

Just thought I'd share a little peak in to my little piece of heaven!
