French Word Wooden Box

Well, even amid the disarray of my moving mess

I still have that urge to find junk

And create something cute.

I have seen some real cute wood boxes

On various blogs, also

I have seen some cuteness using 

French Words on various cute objects.

(I want a stool like this)

This cuteness comes from 

The Polka Dot Closet

Oh, she has the cute French Words all ready to 

Put on wood boxes, bottles, and wood stools.

Just whatever you chose .

Well here is my cute little wooden box

It was just a piece of "junk" that I found at the DI.

(sorry I forget the before pictures)

I first painted it white, then I dry brushed it Pink

Just giving it a dainty tint of Pink.

What I love though is the 

French Words

From a transfer I bought at

The Polka Dot Closet

Ya, she sells adorable transfers.

Do check her blog and store out, you will be amazed.

I can sit my French Word Box

Anywhere, my Dresser, my Coffee Table.

It can hold my dainty hanky collection, or my 

Precious collection of Pins.

Oh, I just about forgot I just lined it with scrap-paper

Hmmmmm, I wonder what those French Words mean?

I am so glad I found my little wooden box and

Most of all I am glad I found the transfers from

The Polka Dot Closet. . .

There are so many talented gals out there in BloggerLand.

Thanks for stopping by.

I am going to join a couple of Link parties.

A Door Closes A Door Opens

I like "old" Doors

I always wonder

What stories could they tell. . .

Alexander Graham Bell once said,

"Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing

That we see too late the one that is open."

I have done that way too often. . .

I have lamented over a closed door and

Not seen the door that has opened.

If we open the Doors of our Heart and Mind. . .

We can see the many Doors that God

Has opened for us. . .

What doors have you opened?

Or have you sadly closed a door?

Cute Houses

Well since I am in the process of

Buying a House

I notice Houses a lot more than I did before. . 

Here are some I have found on the

Internet that I really like. . 

See if you can recognize a couple of "famous" ones.

This house is an American Icon. . What a genius!

 I love the bungalow style house.

These are extremely popular even today. . 

Now, do you recognize this row of houses?

I adore these houses

Talk about beauty of a house

I will be showing you some of the beautiful

House where I live next time. . 

Come back for sure. . . .K

Buying a House

Oh My Goodness!

Buying a House is stressful. . !

It wasn't this way when my husband and I

Bought our house

In fact we bought 3 different houses

Over the course of our marriage.

(Maybe it was because I had him to help make decisions)

Well, times have changed. . 

There are so many hoops to jump through!

I am so stressed!

 I wonder. . . Do little birds get stressed over

Finding just the right nest?

Do we humans make "things" more complicated?

Has it always been stressful to secure a house?

I think it has always been stressful to secure a house!

I remember my Dad telling me that in 1954

When he and my Mother bought their first house

Their payments were going to be $74.00

Ya, you read that right $74.00!

And it was a worry for them wondering if they could

Make those payments. . . .

I had better stop my complaining

Just trust in the Lord

That all will go according to His plan for me. . 

I will jump through all the hoops and

Hopefully my dream will come true

I will own my own House

And I will make it 

My HOME!

Adorable Peace Chair

This chair is so cute!

My daughter-in-law, Shelly

is so talented. .

She found this old "school" chair

At the thrifty store DI

She painted it and upholstered the seat and back

With cute "Peace Sign" fabric.

My granddaughter, Sara, loves it. .

I think it is adorable!



God Bless The Mother's

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the Mom's who love and cherish

Their children,

To all the children who love and cherish

Their Mom's

God Bless You

Give Yourself Flowers

With your head held high

And your eyes wide open

Plant your own garden

And decorate your own soul. . .

You can endure,

You really are strong,

You are of infinite worth. .

So give yourself Flowers!



May Vignette

I did a spring vignette a few days ago,

I thought I would share it now.

There won't be many vignettes

For the next few weeks,

I am starting to pack - - -

I am Getting ready for my move

To my own little house.

Of course when I get in my house

I will be able to show

You the decorating journey I will be on

I am so excited!

In the mean time I will show bits and pieces

Of things I am doing.

(Notice the picture?)

Well, it is a sweet picture of my Great-Grandparents.

I grew up next door to them.

And I spent lots of time at their house.

One of the reasons I want a "house" is so

I can have a lot of family gatherings.

Be sure to come back for more.

May Days

Don't you just love 

May?

Oh, I do! 

I remember as a child we always

Had a May Day

The girls and boys dressed in their best and

We danced braiding the 

May Pole

I love the blue sky 

And the dark sky of the night. . 

Emerson said,

"Each season has it's own beauty"

 Maybe the spring is so beautiful

Because I am ready to see the earth come from her

Splendor of Winter

To the glorious awakening of 

Spring

There are miles and miles of Mother Earth

Showing her wondrous power of Creating.

Ah, wherever the road may lead there is

Beauty all around.

Thank you God for creating this beautiful

Earth and May Days. 

Things Always Work Out

Things Always Work Out

This is the house. . . My house

I put an offer in for this house and they accepted.

Just a few things to work out.

Finding my own little home has been my goal

For a very long time. 

There were times I thought I would never own my own house again

But miracle happen.

I know that things always work out the way they are suppose too

When you put your trust in the Lord.

This isn't the "condo", I originally thought I would buy. .

I had second thoughts about it.

And I have been taught that when you are unsettled about

A decision you made, you should re-think it and take

Your new plan to the Lord. .

I did!

And this is where I have been guided to.

I am so excited I can hardly contain myself.

Just wait til I show you the inside!

Oh my gosh! It is beautiful. . .

Be sure to come back.
