Copycat UPDATED

I remember back in the 70's when my bff got a push button phone.  We couldn't figure out what the # and the * buttons would ever be used for!  I saw this project and loved the telephone pad design.  I finally got it my hubby to hang it. 

I'll take a moon pie and an RC please

My mother in law gave me this awesome old RC cola crate.  I cleaned off the cobwebs and decided it would make a nice centerpiece for my dining room table.  I got the cute little birds at Lowe's for only $3 each! 

Thrifty finds

I got all this stuff at a church yard sale for $5!! The frame is Target brand and is in immaculate condition. The basket with the decorative balls are a beautiful color and are really heavy. I am not nor do I have any desire to be in the Junior League, but I thought this was a cute cookbook.

Meet the the Cloche family

Papa cloche-he's the size of a cake dome





Mama cloche-she's the size of a cheese dome



And baby cloche! It's little bitty! Seriously, isn't this the cutest thing? The green from the pear is showing up in the background so ignore that please. I got it at a new thrift shop in Goodlettsville, TN that benefits Teen Challenge. They have some really nice things.

Linky parties

I don't have any idea how to do linky stuff so I am doing it this way.

I am linking my project to these parties:

There are probably more, I just can't remember all of them. Don't laugh, y'all will be old someday.

I'm such a copycat

I saw this project on http://www.dollarstorecrafts.com/ a few weeks ago and I knew it had to be my next craft project. I bought the canvases at Dollar tree and used my cricut and some really pretty scrapbook paper from Michaels. Hubby has promised that he will help me hang them this weekend.

A sad time

Friends,


I have the most incredible story to tell in a few days. It involves the kindness of a (former) stranger and I can't wait to share it with you!

Until then, please continue to remember the people of Middle Tennessee in your prayers. The Governor estimates the damage from the flooding to exceed one billion dollars. There have been 20+ deaths.

Finally, my beloved Uncle Charlie passed away suddenly this past Sunday and my family is travelling to Michigan this weekend for the funeral. This picture was taken last year when Uncle Charlie & Aunt Theresa came for a visit. This picture is of him with my cousin Shelia. They were big buddies too, but I was his favorite. Others may dispute that fact, but in my heart, I know it's true.
