Hand-Painted Greeting Cards (Set of 5)

Don't you just love when someone has gone to the
trouble of sending you a handmade card?? I love
all kinds of Handmade Cards..especially the hand-
painted ones...And I have a blast making them!
This set I just put in "MY ETSY SHOP" TODAY.

This particular (set of 5) hand-painted roses are
one of my favorites...It has a matching envelopes
with leaves & gives the recipient a little sneak peek
of what's to come...

This is a look at a single card..each unique..(no
two alike).. That's one of the charms of a hand-
painted original...(SEE BELOW)


(Check out the set BELOW)

The Finished product..All wrapped in cellophane
& tied with a beautiful Light Sage Green satin ribbon.
Ready to give as a gift...(or to make 5 lucky people smile
when they receive a greeting from you.)

To Learn "How to" do this kind of painting Donna Dewberry is the creator & expert on the subject...Her Videos are wonderful as is she.. Click HERE (to see her Video Tutorial)

Surprises at Overstock

Redecorating/Organizing...whatever you want
to call it...needs to happen every now & again to update,
declutter, & put together a more beautiful & welcoming
home. I've been reorganizing some rooms in my home
& came across some fantastic ideas & clever storage spots
(hidden within the furniture itself) on Overstock.com

So I wanted to let you all in on this wonderful secret of
Value for your budgeting money, Beautiful style with
purpose, & I hope if I read this correctly...YOUR ENTIRE
ORDER SHIPPED FOR ONLY $2.95 ????? Is that right?
I looked all over & that is what it says (unbelievable as it
seems) So you get Great items for your Home plus
shipping is so low you'll take a double look.

I picked out some of my favorite items that have dual
purposes & extra storage (which we all are looking to
have more of) So..pop over to Overstock.com & see
for yourself & Let me know your Favorite Finds over
there...(I've linked up the photos with where
you can find them on the website.)

1) This Chaise Lounge Sofa with Storage is a dream piece
that would be great in a bedroom..Check out the reviews
People who bought this absolutely Loved it. I do too.
Notice the STORAGE...Can you believe that in a piece
like this???

2) When you are looking for more storage especiallyfor clothing this Blue Wardrobe Storage Containerwould be perfect. I had a plastic one for a number of years & it worked great but the material on this I think would be alot better.

3) I am in need of a new Computer Desk & this caught my
eye because of it using up a corner space. I like this one
alot but they have a White one (just like it) that I would
have to really consider (I really like the clean crisp look
of White)

4) We have a Breakfast Bar in our kitchen that I love. These Bar Stools look so rich & the deep Cherry Wood is just beautiful. These wouldbe a beautiful addition to anyones home.

5) Speaking of kitchens..The next 2 photos show how even a small kitchen have a great Table & chairs set. Check out the prices..Super great prices.. & the reviews..People love them..Isn't this set super cute???!!

I hope you have as much fun on Overstock.com as I did. Their prices are great, the value of what your getting is fantastic, shipping could not be any better (people are saying it only takes a couple days to recieve their orders) and when they compare to other places they quickly go

back to Overstock or the item might sell out..

Conclusion....5 Stars for overstock.com

FATHER'S DAY GIFT

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY... I just finished this
Italian Stone piece with a "Father's Day
sentiment" saying "Anyone can be a Father
but it takes someone special to be a Dad."

I wish I could give it to my Dad on Sunday!!
I love him so much & the message is how I
feel about him...
but I can't...because he passed away many yrs ago.

****This is a TRIBUTE to him & all the other
Dads out there that make time for their kids,
make each child feel special & are that
"SPECIAL KIND OF DAD" like mine was.

I was so lucky to have such a wonderful
Father! (as well as a fantastic Mother) The
memories flood back of drive-in movies & playing
on the swing with Dad before it started. Taking
"just me" out to buy something special for no
reason. Making his weekly trip to Sears &
telling me to pick out my favorite peanuts/candy
from their Candy Counter or suggesting we get
some new shoes & "lets get Mom some high heels
too. " (Always thinking of how to surprise her with
something)...Always making me feel like I was his
favorite) Little did I know the other 4 kids felt the
same way!)

My Father taught me FAITH..& how to have it when
things look grim. He always was optimistic & showed
me what "Inner Strength" was & I could do anything
I put my mind to. He was so generous to his family &
everyone he met. I remember he would have me put
the flag out to the neighborhood kids to let them know
it was time they could all come over & swim in our
pool & play volleyball. (Which we did every night!)
And mom would have some kind of special treats
for everyone.

He taught by example & he and my Mom would
call Universities @ Thanksgiving and find exchange
students that didn't have a place to go & he would
pick them up to come & have it with us. I remember an
exchange student from Ethiopia, Africa...That was
really something! We met some very interesting
people to say the least & broadened our horizons.My Dad loved my Mom & (showed it all the time)
and that was a great gift to all of us 5 kids. We saw
examples of unselfishness & compassion on a
daily basis. I look at these photos & it says it all.

They even had a "Kissing Window" from the
kitchen into the family room so while she was
making dinner he would serenade her with his music.

The Elementary school asked them, if they would
play Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus and of course they
DID & LOVED IT!

The PHOTO Above is when they were
first married...

The Photo Below is 30 yrs later..The
same "LOOK" into each others eyes.

My Father & Mother truly found the....
JOY IN THE JOURNEY OF THEIR LIFE
TOGETHER & WITH THEIR FAMILY THEY
CREATED.

I am so blessed to have had the parents I did.

I LOVE YOU BOTH & MISS YOU SO MUCH!!
Happy Father's Day, Dad!

club crackers. See Photo Below:

white sugar, milk (I used non-fat & it worked fine) &
butter. See Photo Below:
3) Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Spread
over crackers..Be careful this is hot!! (I love the
off-set spatula for this) See Photo Below:

4) Next add another layer of crackers,
& gently press down not breaking any.
Put in refrigerator for 30 min.
See Photo Below:

5) To make the Frosting: put choc. chips

Newest Blog Award & Paying It Forward

Wow! What a surprise I received this week!!!!
I received the Versatile Blog Award from Mrs. Claus!!
Thank you so much....I have to tell you guys...

When I receive a "Blog Award" it truly humbles
me.....knowing that there are so many more out
there that should get this....

I started this blog last July 4th & hoped to find a
place to share ideas & the "spirit" which resides in
most of us at Christmastime..I wanted to stretch it
out the whole year.

That Giving..Loving..Grateful feeling that has
most of us smiling more, giving more, being like little
children more, considerate more (I'm sure that could
be disputed!) to one another that often leaves after
Christmas & comes back the next Christmas.

I love Christmas yearlong (the spirit of it) & try to
keep it in my heart always. I love kindness..We do
not see that in our world (now-a-days very much)

HOWEVER, I am so happy to say that since
I have had this blog..the women out there have
shown so many kindnesses to me I could fill
a book..So with that in mind I am very grateful
to Mrs. Claus (of all people..we really did not rig this)
for giving me this award! Thank you again!!!

There were certain rules regarding this award:

1) Thank the person who gave you the award

2) Tell 7 things about yourself (in your blog)

3) Pass the award along to 15 other blogs who
you have recently discovered & you think are
fantastic.

4) Contact the bloggers you've picked & let
them know about the award.

SO...Here are 7 things about myself

1) I am from Norwegian & German descendants..
My father always told us we were Holland Dutch
& Norwegian. I wish I could have shown him
what we found doing Family History (after he
passed away)

2) On that same note..Family History is a
passion of mine..It has changed my life for the
better. It is so much easier than people think.
The rewards are unmeasurable. I love to help
people find out about their family heritage &
make scrapbooks about it. I have found some
family lines going back to 200AD.

3) Baking & crafting are necessities of my life.
I love making my house, a home, a refuge from
the world for my family & myself & these things
help me to accomplish that.

4) One of my best creative outlets is making
300 jars of 20 different kinds of jams (mostly
from our backyard fruit trees) I love to blend
2, 3, & even 4 kinds of fruits together..to get the
best kind of flavors..
Most have won a first place blue ribbon at our
County Fair.

5) I love to see the after effect of organizating
anything (closets, craft supplies, files, rooms)
I love a house of order (which I will be striving
my whole life probably to acheive)

6) I love old fashion values, considerations, &
manners & am proud of it.

7) I try to do things others would say no way..
My parents said I could do anything as I have told
my kids the same.. It is inspiring to live by the
words of my parents..And I live creatively..with
passion.. & always trying to do what I think I might
not be able to do..Surprising myself quite alot along
the way.

Wow..I thinks that's the most I've written about
myself in lots of years..

THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL BLOGS
TO CHOOSE FROM OUT THERE..but these are
the 15 I have chosen...

Go check them out & see if they inspire you...

A TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS EVERYWHERE!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY...

This is a tribute to my Mom...& all moms..

even though she is up in heaven with

my dad...I know she will know just how

much she is missed & loved by her children

& grand children.. especially on Mother's

Day..this Sunday!

Although she had a hard life growing up

(her own mother died when she was 1yr. old

& her dad died when she was 15) she made

a wonderful life for my dad & us 5 kids & I

will be eternally grateful for all the wisdom

she gave each one of us & example she

showed daily..

First & formost she was the most charitable

person I ever knew..she always made room for

people who did not have a place to stay or food

to eat. She opened her home & her heart to

always helping someone or something.

Below is an old picture (sorry it's blurry) of her

helping a Rooster that my little sister brought

home from school (to give a good home to) My

mom was raised on a farm & she helped that little

rooster (until the neighbors complained of being

woke up@ 5am!) He eventually went to a zoo.

You could always find her in the kitchen
laughing & baking something for
somebody in need. She would bring in
dinners, babysit, take care of the elderly..
you name it..she did it.. But by the same
token...she was always there for
each one of us to make feel special
everyday. She had a special gift that way.

I think it was because as a child she only had 1 pair
of shoes & 1 dress made out of a flour sack material
& her parents dying so young she wanted to give
us everything but most importantly..time & love.

She worked the graveyard shift at the hospital
just so she could have breakfast ready & lunches
made when we got up each morning...& be home
when we got home from school so she could help
us with our homework & have chocolate chip cookies
& milk waiting. I really wondered when she ever got
to sleep or eat..She loved cooking meals & serving
them to my dad & us kids & she would get up 10
times for us before she ever got a bite of food.
(That reminds me of the "Christmas Story" Mom)

Anyway..I salute you mom & treasure all our talks,
& everything you taught me about being a good mom.
I cherish the memories of all our times baking together
& you being such a good example of Charity to others.

Your loving Daughter,
Barb

*****Hope all of you get to give your moms a kiss
& hug (I wish I could) & tell them how much they
mean to you..Life goes too fast & is too short to
not tell them what they mean to you...
