Hump Day Randomness

My Iris' are beautiful this year.
The fertilizer and rain have made them multiply. I hope someone falls in love with them soon and wants them for their own.

Scrapbooking Easter pictures, makes me all hippity-hoppity inside.
I am doing an Easter album like some do Christmas albums. I am taking an Easter subject and writing a page about it and putting a few pics (new and old) on the page, the Easter dress, The Easter eggs, The Easter egg hunt, The Easter basket, the Easter lunch, and of course my famous 2007 Easter wreck.

The trash fairy makes my life so much easier.
My neighbor, Mr. Garry, has been taking my trash down the drive (the 100 yard driveway made of gravel, I might add...Whew!) and bringing it back up for about a month now. I love that! I will miss that man.

Peterson's rocks!
It is a dump/hole in the wall in J'boro that is a overstock/flea market type place and I love it! I got gift bags with tissue in them for 30 cents and a groovy pair of earrings for a $1. Buys like these make an unemployed girl happy.

A Swiffer and a mop are not the same.
I don't care what you say. It is not the same. The house cleaner (more like the cracker jack box cleaner) in J'Boro needs to learn this lesson but I doubt she reads this...so, I will move on.

The Peepster loved a Polaroid.
And scrapbooking those pictures is just plain wrong! My Peepaw had a drawer full of camera's back before ammature photography was all the rage. We are talking 1970 & 1980's when Polaroid's were cool. That was his hobby/ his thing and we have lots of those precious pictures in our possession. I love that he captured everything , yet I just hate what happens when you crop them....not scrapbook friendly, that is for sure.


Decorating Cents.
I am loving being a desperate housewife/lady of leisure and being able to view this great show every afternoon at 1:30 on HGTV. It is soooo my thing and I love to get new ideas.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
