White Wednesday

http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/

Sharing some whites today from my home.

This is a display I did for the top of my bookshelves.  It sits at the end of the main hallway.

I used one of my vintage birdcages, our letter C for our last name, a pineapple finial, little white china shoe and a book.

All white vignettes have been popular for awhile, but I'm noticing a resurgance lately.

Have a great day.

Blue Monday - Brag book

http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/

Crafting a little Saturday, saw this really cute idea in a craft book.

Many of our billfolds do not have room for pictures of our kiddo's because of all the necessary cards, like drivers license-ect.  So I made this brag book to carry in my purse.

Your use baseball card covers (hard plastic).  Use scrapbook paper as the backgrounds, add stickers or embelishments after mounting your photo.  Punch  holes with hole puncher and insert a metal ring.  I also added a few ribbons to the ring.  I plan on putting more pics of the rest of us too.

Couldn't resist posting this get well card my hubby is sending a friend. I't Maxine:

Well I like you all------Have a great BLUE MONDAY.

Spiritul Sundays - What label are you wearing

http://bloggerspirit.blogspot.com/

I recently attended our annual choir retreat at the Great Wolf Lodge here.  It was a 2-day seminar and full of wonderful worhip music, teaching and communion. 

Our speakers entitled their ministry time on " What label are you wearing". What a fantastic lesson.

We live by labels, whether we know it or not.

Have you heard the prase "The label makes the clothes?"


Labels give information-- quality, design, appearance, longivity to name a few.
A label is a piece of paper or fabic attached to an object giving information about the product.

Spirtually speaking we all have labels we are suppose to be wearing.

GOD HAS A SERIOUS CLOTHING LINE FOR US TO WEAR, IT NEVER WEARS OUT!


Isaiah 61: 10-11
He dressed me up in suit of salvation
He outfitted me in a robe of righteousness

HE IS THE MASTER DESIGNER!

Hope this touches you where you live, it sure did me.

Pink Saturday - Crafting with netting and Healthy eating

http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/

What pink gems do we have today? Beverly always has so much for all of us girls.


Have you ever looked for a soft netting and only needed a small amount for a trim for clothing or a craft project but it only came in bolts?
I discovered a way to find netting much cheaper.

Enter the loufa or bath net (is there a proper name).

When you take this apart you end up with 82" of the perfect size trim. Around 4 to 5 inches in width.
And they come in the greatest colors.

For what.... .99 cents  you get a great piece of netting to work with.


I  also want to feature a book I have been following for the past 6 weeks.  I have changed my eating "lifestyle".  This author Dr. Mike Moreno has written this diet book and he has discovered a way to confuse our metabolism and keep us loosing and not reaching a plateau!!!

There are 4 phases - each phase consists of 17 days. Each phase you add more foods so your body learns to control portions and types of foods.    My hubby has lost 20 and I have lost 10 lbs.

I

The book is NOT available in bookstores only on-line at the 17 Day Diet Website.

Have yourself a great pink saturday.

Vintage Thingie Thursday - 1922 Space Heater

http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/


Linking up today with Vintage Thingie Thursday, I've had this heater in storage for ages.  I was going to use it on my sun porch originally.  We have decided to put it on our new deck when finished, we will run a gas line to it and use it on chilly nights.

The Wheeler Company who made this started in 1890 in West Virginia.  They are still in business but have expanded and merged with another company.  There is a location here in Lenexa, Kansas.

This model was patented in 1922.  The lava grates are still all in tact.  I love the claw feet, and the design of the heater.

Have a good day.

White Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday

http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/

Today I'm linking with White Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday.  I know we are in the same boat (or should I say SNOW PLOW) as much of the nation.  We have 2'  in our driveway.

I was really concerned about snow removal, my hubby had a heart attack in 2009 and should not be shoveling. 

We got a call this morning about 8:00, it was my DEAR brother-in-law saying his work closed  and was on his way to do our driveway with the snowblower!!!!!!!! An answer to prayer.

The snow is covering a lot of his large Dodge Ram Truck.  He had to shovel some because the snow was taller than his snow blower!!!!

This is an interesting shot I got this morning--we had some much blowing that this snow is hanging on to the roof horizontially.

We're walking (or trying to)  in a winter wonderland here.

Have yourself a good Wednesday.

BLIZZARD

 1600 miles of our nation is experiencing white-out conditions.  We are expected to get 2 feet or more of snow and school was out today and has been called for tomorrow too. I doubt if there's any Thursday.

They are calling it the 'BLIZZARD OF OZ' here in Kansas.  Our cowardly lion arrived in OZ just in time for the biggest blizzard in years!!!!

You can make out our mailbox in the second pic---there is a 4 lane street out there!!!

Stay safe.
