Early Sneak Peak

Happy Day!!
I started decorating for Christmas.  I put up a white tree in my living room.  The white tree represents my mother.
Front and center is the letter G.  I put white lights all around the tree and wrapped it with white and silver ribbon with a bunch of white bows and ornaments and touches of red.  The pictures do not do it justice, as it is so much more in real life.  The photos do not do it justice.

 Thank you for visiting.

Is your tree up or are you waiting until after Thanksgiving?

Speaking of Thanksgiving, do you have your turkey yet?

Christmas Planner Time 🌲

Planner Time

It is one of my most favorite times of year...Christmas time.  A time where people seem to be a little nicer, and a little happier.  Everything looks better with twinkling lights wrapped around it too.




I have this no stress Holiday Organizer book that I have had for a few years, I do not write in it, I use it more for a guide. It is on Amazon :)



The Binder below is one that I am handmaking myself.  I am teaching myself "word" and I am filling up my binder with sheets I am creating and fitting to how I want things. 
Simple, clean and easy. 
 

I made this prayer for Christmas Dinner:

Calendar

Here is my smaller planner....."Old Faithful"...this is very old, and one that I cherish.....lots of goody's in there:) 

Here is a box of Christmas cards I picked up to add to my collection.  The card must mention CHRISTMAS!!  That is the reason for the season, right???  :)

I have also been know to take cards and put them in pretty picture frames for Christmas as a decoration.

So here is just a quick look at my planner (s).  I hope you enjoyed this little post.  I always enjoy sharing in my blog.
 I love my planners, I like to write things down, from pen to paper.....I just adore the holidays. Thanksgiving on....

Speaking of Thanksgiving, have you gotten your turkey ;)

The Gnomes

Happy November!!

How is everyone doing?
I went to Target yesterday and in the dollar spot were these GNOMES.....so adorably cute...lol.
Of course I had to bring some home with me.  I've been collecting Gnomes for awhile.  I think it started when my daughter wanted me to start a fairy garden and I was looking at gnomes to start...I have not done a fairy garden as of yet, but I will.
I am able to find a gnome that can celebrate every holiday.  I also learned how to make theses cuties with socks and bags of rice.  Youtube has a plethora of HOW TO videos on this.

 What????!!!!!
     I can not believe my last post was in May!!  My beloved blog.  I may be absent at times but I will never not stop coming here.  I remember the days when I thought about my blog obsessively and would wake up first thing and check it and then I would lay in bed at night and think of all the things I wanted to write about and share....I am so glad I have this blog and all my memories.  I will continue to write here because I cherish my little blog on the net.

     This world right now is quite a bit different then when I first started writing in it...I think you all can agree....
I pray for our beautiful country and the return of peoples' sanity.  To be completely honest, C*v!d, masks, and vacc*nes do not scare me, but peoples' opinions and reactions to these things do.  I understand people having mad, serious opinions on these things, but it has brought out some things in people I wish I never had to see.

     Changing topic so to speak...How are you all doing?  I hope all who stop here are doing well and have amazing things going on.
     

     I have potatoes baking in the oven and I will soon make a salad and fry up some pork.

     My family are all well and I love them dearly.  I still wear an apron and love Martha Stewart......tee hee.  My menu plan will be going up soon.....with possibly a video to coincide with it.

On July 24th of this year, I tuned 51!!!  51!!!!!!!!

Happy Saturday!!

 

Waving!!

 I hope you all have an extraordinary day!!

I can not believe it is May already...where has this month gone...LOL

I hope your days are filled with love a busy-ness and I hope all who find my little corner on the internet are well.

I have been busy cooking, cleaning and doing virtual learning with my son...I absolutely love that....I am enjoying learning right a long with him.  I have a fondness for history...I love it.

I hope you are enjoying my menu plans....this week was not a normal week.  Mother's Day I had a lot of leftovers, and my husband had a few meals at the office, in which he brought home to share...not a whole of cooking dinners in my kitchen this week.  I enjoy cooking but it was nice this week, being so easy.

I got a new springform pan that I am excited about I will show it to you in the next post, it's pink...LOL.

I am on my second cup of coffee and I am about to go on my 3 mile run.  My downstairs flooring is getting changed today, I will try and share some pictures of that.
Woodland Dove is the name of the floor..it's beautiful and charming...I am going for that farmhouse look, I always have, even when it wasn't in style.

I will be back shortly!!
