Candlesticks and bedposts and pics

I've had these four bedposts for over a year now,,



you may remember I posted about them here.  A year later and they are still waiting their turn to be born again into something creative and wonderful.. lol.  I saw Gails post this morning about her candlesticks and now Im thinking these would make some cute, big, chunky candlesticks.  So stay tuned!! 


For now Ill just post some pics from my phone,,, BEWARE.. all about the babies these days.  And we love it.. Blessings from above no doubt. 

sweet sleeping little angels,, they stayed with Meme and Pappy all day on Valentines day,,, and they were sickly too.  It was a long day.. but I loved it.  Me and Pappy both were wore out by the time their mamas got home. 

Visiting great papaw for his birthday,, Happy 68th Birthday daddy.  Love you!  She loves his beard.

Emmie and her baby shades.. I swear the child already knows what a camera is. 

Skyelar with her baby shades one.. Too cute

My baby boy,, not such a baby anymore.  Junior prom in a few weeks,, oh my goodness!

Skyelar was too busy watching the fan to look my way.  Look at her sweet little hair standing up. 

ITS FRIDAY...

I am sooooo glad its Friday.  There is still so much to be done for this wedding.  My head is going in a thousand circles.  Amb's bridal shower is this weekend.  Her Aunt Sissy, and mamaw's are giving the shower.  She's really excited.  We're planning on working on the bridesmaid bouquets this weekend.  I hope to have some pics to show you on Monday and hopefully get some constructive feedback on. 

found this thread in my sewing basket,, I wonder how long I've had it.  I havent

seen thread for 20cents at WalMart in FOREVER!!

My shoes LITERALLLY fell apart at work yesterday,, I mean the more I walked

the worse it got.  Kinda the way I feel lately.  Planning a wedding and getting prepared mentally

for a new grandbaby and trying to keep the house somewhat clean and the family fed is wearing me out. 

(horrible picture ) oh and did I mention,, we have a new lab puppy and 4 little kittens.  

Can't wait to get rid of these little suckers.  I'll be offering a free box of food and a cat litter pan as

an enticement to take a free kitten.  I hope it works. 

Just a bunch of randomness

Scatter brained would describe me very accurately lately,, lot going on with babies and a wedding on the way ... So without further delay ,, lots of random pics.  Enjoy! 

not the best picture,,  Tyler &  River - that bow didnt stay in her hair too long.

Mel's gonna kill me for this pic but I love it.. Jeff feeling the grandbaby move. 

waiting at the dr to find out what Amb is having,, Its a Girl. 

Ms Skyelar Rayne Russell will be here around the 1st of January. 

Jeff made leiutenant -- So proud of him! 

The wives got to pin on their new badge - I think he was scared I was gonna stick him. 

Jeff, Tyler and Amberly - Melanie had a funeral visitation to go to and couldnt be there. 

TIME to get back to work,,,   Have a great weekend.

Ill be sharing pics soon of a desk I made using Traci @ Beneath My Hearts basic plan and a kitchen island that Jeff is building me. 

View from my phone. .

Wow,, didn't realize that I hadn't posted in a while. Lots of projects in my mind but I havent been very productive lately so I'll just share the veiw from my phone with ya.. Enjoy!

Mel - 28 weeks on the 4th - this was her b'day and dr visit day. 

The little Mann .. always trying to figure out how to buy something. 
Pretty sure he was looking on craigslist at a truck or something.

My new cup from Hobby lobby,, 50% off.. yay! 

Jeff taking a dive in the pool at his brothers house ,, tyler and peyton waiting
for their turn.



Amb with her little cousin Brenna Claire -- she makes the cutest faces.
Amb is 14 weeks here. 



Made another flag - used old tongue and groove boards (think thats what they
are called) that I got from my sisters house.  Super easy and quick project.


Well thats it for now,, Hope everyone had a safe and Happy 4th of July celebration. 

The view from my phone

Happy Friday ... Woo hoo! 
I didnt get around to doing any kind of projects this week nor did I blog too much so I didnt have any favorite finds to share this week.  So instead I thought I'd share the view from my phone.. very interesting im here to tell ya,,,, NOT!  But I'm sharing anyway so here goes...

these are empty rolls from tape dispensers.. . i've been saving them for over a year.. my coworkers give
me their emptys too.. (thanks Kate).. I just know there is some good craft project that can be done with
these.. anybody have any ideas you want to share??  Leave a comment or email me.. i'd love to hear. 

Amb - 1st born, future nurse - she took this pic of herself and set it as my

background on my phone.. lol.    Mel -middle child, soon to be mama - working on

her car that the motor went out in about 4 months after she bought it.. she wanted to help

so her daddy told her things that she could take off/out getting ready to pull the motor out. 

Thankfully and hopefully it will be back on the road after the fuel line comes in next week.!!

My sweet and sexy hubby -- love him to pieces!!  And my nephew Robert and his daddy,
my little brother, Robert. 

Painted this freehand looking at a painting I saw online.  Not perfect, but I was ok with it. 

we bought a seed starter kit and planted these tomato plants, then I made some newspaper pots
for them after seeing Lindys pots here .. super simple and cheap!  They're still alive , we'll see how long they make it.

Daddys boots - took this one afternoon when I stopped by mama & daddys,,
I dont think he even realized I took it.  I love it. 

Well thats it for today.. I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend..  Stop by Monday to see what I won in a giveaway recently and get in on my next giveaway, 'cause if I win, you win!   

Linking up with Gail @ My Repurposed Life for Catch As Catch Can Friday.. see ya there!
