My Favorite Daughter..My Favorite Son

My Girly-Girl and Free-Spirited Son: They are different in SO many ways but they do have some of the same great qualities. They are very bright, passionate, good-natured, responsible, dependable, determined, tenacious, respectful, hard working, and animal lovers. The hard working quality is more geared toward working outside of our home..of course!
It is a rare occasion to get them to pose for a picture together. I certainly grab the opportunity every chance that I can get.

Last Saturday we had an open house for my daughter's College Graduation.
My son is currently working on driving lessons.

I am blessed and very proud.

They are my favorites!!

Kitchen Favorites

I purchased this ceramic plaque from a Covered Bridge Festival. The sad thing is it fell over when I displayed it and it cracked in half. I was upset. It was too cute to throw away, so a little glue and I keep it above my kitchen cabinets. You cannot see the crack from there.
I purchased this wine holder from the same festival! I love the colors and the painted roses.
A teapot cookie jar that I received as a housewarming gift from a relative that has sinced passed. The top cup removes to store your cookies in! This also sits atop the cabinets. I do not want this broken.
The Covered Bridge Festival has lots of great finds. I purchased these two pitchers from there. I love the vintage look and colors.

Thanks for looking...show me your kitchen favorites

The Votes are In..

Thank you everyone who voted and voted for me!!
I did not win the amazing desk, but I did win a prize.
My desk will now be moisture and spill free.
I won the Scrap Ma Bob. I will take pictures of it attached to my desk/table when it arrives:D

Getting ready for my daughter's graduation celebration next Saturday. I haven't accomplished anything for it yet. Shame Shame. I guess I work better under pressure;) Relatives coming in from out of town. It will be nice to see them all. Haven't seen my 6 yr old niece or 1 1/2 yr old nephew since last year at this time. I bet they have grown!!!

My son is taking driving lessons right now. He could have his license in 3 weeks!!! Nail biting here...

Studio Part Two

This Ribbon Storage Box holds up to 27 rolls of ribbons! You know you are going to need more than just one if you are like me!


This desk will fit right in my studio...It matches. I have all white furniture and shelving in my room!
Vote for me and then you can come back and see Part 2 of my studio pictures. Vote for ME

Another favorite part of my studio. This used to be (USED to be) my son's room. There is Snoopy the Red Baron still hanging from the ceiling fan. I think I will keep him there. Hubby designed this ceiling:D
I bought this cabinet at a thrift shop in Chicago for $5.00. I was going to paint it, but haven't gotten around to it. I am pretty sure it was hand made.
Take a peek inside & see where I can hide all my glitter and beads! My outdated t.v. probably from 1987! Is that considered vintage yet?
A few of my favorite things. Can you see the flowers, lollipops, and dollops in the sherbet dishes? My husband and daughter made this shelf over 10 years ago for her beanie babies.
More supplies and some vintage cards in their boxes.
I guess these photos were taken on May 16.
There's my vintage t.v. again and my guest's chair just in case a visitor pops in. One day I will have more comfy chairs for me and my visitors!
I received these shelving units a few years ago for Christmas from my hubby! This one holds all sorts of supplies and miscellaneous things I MAY need. My sewing machine is in the bottom drawer. The drawers roll out very nicely.
Looks like I need more paper!


Thanks for visiting and voting...don't forget the vote!
