Look what came in the mail!!!

Hello again! Just wanted to share a package I received yesterday from Deb of Garage Sale Gal. Thanks again Deb!!! We got to emailing and decided to swap some cards since we both enjoy stamping. Hers came to me quickly! Mine are headed out tomorrow. I am not great at photographing cards but I hope you can see how pretty they really are! The flower and butterfly have glitter and *sparkle* so pretty! I will post the cards I did when Deb receives them...I want her to be surprised!

2 treasures and a giveway picture

Morning!!! Looks like rain today but that's ok...need to work inside today! Thank you to all who have left sweet comments on my 1000 hit and giveaway post! I love hearing from everyone! If you haven't entered yet...go one post down and leave a comment!



Here are pictures of some treasures...I got them at a thrift store called Rescued Treasures. They are having a sale until the end of August 50% off everything in the store. Their furniture is a bit pricey but their dishes and other "treasures" not so bad. They even had things like vases and individual plates and cups at 75% off. I ended up getting 2 identical milk glass footed bowls, 7 six inch bread plates by Franciscan (pattern Maytime), 4 snack plates with cups , a small milk glass vase and a milk glass candy dish... all for $12. I didn't think that was bad at all!

This is the vase with wildflowers from our creek.

This chicken planter came from the Salvation Army last week. I fell in love with it!

And this is the GIVEAWAY picture!!! One of the bread plates I picked up, one of the milk glass footed bowls and a little bird house that I picked up at a yard sale. This is my first giveaway, hope you like it!

Well, I guess that laundry is calling my name. Hope you all have a great day! Happy treasure hunting and hugs!!!

Saturday pumpkin update, over 1000 visits to my blog and my first giveaway!!!

Hello everyone! Here is the Saturday pumpkin update....every Saturday I have been tracking the growth of our first pumpkin. This week it has really grown! We have had hot and humid weather and these pumpkins seem to LOVE it! My hubby was teasing me this morning...asking when we were going to get the nasty letter from the Home Owners Association. I told him they can't say anything because there is nothing in the bylaws about gardens...then my DD chimes in "yeah, but does it say anything about having a farm?" Sheesh! They won't be teasing me when fall comes and we have lots of pumpkins that only cost a couple dollars!

"The Farm"...looks more impressive when you're up close...lol!

When I started this blog, I had no idea I would get over 1000 hits so quickly!!! And my plan was to have a giveaway at 1000 hits!!! Well today I hit that goal! Thank you to all my blog world friends for stopping by and leaving me such awesome comments, encouragement and blogging advice! I enjoy reading each and every comment and try to send a note to thank you! So to further thank you...it is time for my first giveaway!!! Monday I will post a picture of the giveaway (sorry no time this weekend...family coming in tomorrow from out of state). All you need to do is leave a comment on this post and on Saturday, July 26 I will draw the lucky winner!!! YAY!!!

Have a great weekend!!! Oh and I have some treasures to show you on Monday too!!! Hugs and happy treasure hunting!!!

Hello all! Today I wanted to show you some other garden happenings...we are growing things other than pumpkins...lol! Tomorrow I should have some treasures to show you. I picked up one thing at the Salvation Army on Monday but still need to take a pic. So on with the garden pictures.

Yellow Mexican Hot Peppers

A shabby sunflower (that the birds planted in the crack on the patio)

Tag #2

Hello again! Ok this is the hard tag...Sherry at Edie Marie's Attic tagged me for...

~~~7 Song Tag~~~

The rules:

List 7 songs you are into right now. No matter what genre, whether they have words, or even if they are not any good, but they must be songs you are really into right now, shaping your summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs.Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

Well like I said in my last post...I really don't listen to music. But I will tag others...
