Yes, they are coffee filters

Look at what I made.

I made these out of used coffee filters I have been collecting for some time.

I love the multi toned color of the flowers.  The flowers look like big old fashioned roses.  I love it. Don’t you?

I had to try a nosegay.  Added a very pale peach bow and vintage lace to wrap the handle.  Wouldn’t this be awesome for a wedding.

I had to try a wreath in autumn colors too.  Love zinnas.  I’m not in love with how this one came out, but it will do.

She will be leaving soon.  Hopefully someone will have her grace their home soon.

Will be very busy with a garage sale in a week and a city wide garage sale at the beginning of October.

This Should Go On Forever-Rod Bernard

Do any of you remember this song? I was lucky enough to attend a show recently in Crowley, La. that Rod Bernard was performing at. It was a great evening.

I started thinking maybe a few of you would remember this and have a few fond memories associated with the song.

Enjoy.

BET YOU THOUGHT I WAS GONE FOREVER

First off, I recently had a visit from our granddaughter from New Orleans.  Miss M. spent a whole week with us.  She wanted to do some crafting and crafting we did.  Here we have Miss M and Kennedy busy at work.

Just to say Thank You

I simply can not believe all the new followers that would like to spend some time looking over my blog.  Thanks again.  I know I have been very lazy.  Hope to do better soon.

Been working very hard on a complete backyard redo.  Where the heck is Backyard Makeover when you need them.

Also thank you to Pro and Meaghan for being such constant lurkers.  Love you.

What do you all think about my new look for the blog?  I thought I needed some color. 

See you all soon with photos of the things happening in my crazy life.
