A Peek!

The shot above is with my iphone........... I think I like it best!

 You can click on these to see them bigger.... the file size is quite a bit larger than that iphone one.

 My walls look more yellow in these shots with the "good" camera. 

Guess I could adjust that in Photoshop....... nah....

   This one below is a little dark........ guess I should've turned a light on beyond the tree....

 This year I "clustered" some ball ornaments..... not bad....

Taking it down before this post is published!

Someone is Growing Up!

Someone is growing up and will probably be walking before he's a year!

This week he turned 10 months!

(Some fun iphone pics)

(Are you sick of my grandchildren yet?)

Lots of Football

 Our cute girl! Walking to the game with her dad and grandpa!

New Things Coming!

He's going to be a big brother!

(I'm trying to catch up on here!)

House Centerpiece

Thought I'd drop in here with a few pictures. Made a centerpiece for a fundraising event this month.

Each table will have one of these metal crowns that we've filled with different things.

I put a paper mache house in this one.  I cut a hole in the bottom of it and and in the top of the box that it sits on....... and stuck some little tiny lights inside.

 Put some Christmas stems from Hobby Lobby on the top.  They are just wrapped around the top of the crown and lightly hot glued to each other.  I also put some silver garland down in the crown base before I put the house in there.

This is the back obviously.

I glued some lace inside over the windows. Not sure you can tell.

And below I'm showing you the battery pack hidden under garland, 

where it's easy to turn the lights on and off.

I told you I wasn't going to post much anymore............ looks like that has happened....

Hope you are doing well!

Paint Your Pumpkin

 So........ last week I decided to paint an old plastic pumpkin that was in my fall decorating box.

I just used inexpensive acrylics.  I did a white wash to begin and then did a few coats, drying between.  I put a bit of old gold metallic on the stem, but it doesn't really show.

I reallllly like it so much better now!

Got the gold orb at Target!

It's almost fall, y'all!

California Revisited

We lived in Orange County back in the mid-80's.

So it was fun to visit southern California last week.

That's DH and I on Coronado Island.

Of course we went to the San Diego Zoo.

Below is our grandson visiting with a gorilla!

Isn't he the cutest?

I loved the reindeer. SD Zoo has everything. It's a beautiful zoo.....
but very hilly..........

Below is a Laguna Beach shot. We ate lunch there on Thursday on our way to visit our old hood!

This is in LaJolla on Wednesday at lunch.

Laguna Beach restaurant.

And below is our old house....... top of a driveway.  Surprised it hasn't burned or slid off that hill!

Our son was 2 and 3 years old when we lived there........ now he has an almost 2 year old!

He didn't realize how high in the hills we lived!

 It was a fun week!!! 

Nice to look back!

I read that the best way to see if God is working in your life is to look backward.

So true!

I am so thankful!

Can't believe it's September! I didn't even post in August!!!
