So I totally fibbed yesterday:o) I said that the creative bug wasn't there. I said that I might pick something up next week....well next week turned into today:o) This is what I did today. In the words of my dear grandmother, "itn't that purdy."   Being from the South, most of us say itn't instead of isn't..sad but true:o) Anyway, this is what the ottoman looked like before: Yep, that's a coffee table. One that has seen better days. My neighbor is an avid yard saler as well, and I told her that I was on the hunt for a round coffee table to turn into an ottoman. She definitely came through for me. She found this little beaut for $10. I couldn't find anywhere in town that had foam thick enough and wide enough to cover the entire coffee table, so I bought 4 foam cushions from Hobby Lobby. I used spray adhesive to attach the cushions to one another and then laid the coffee table on top of the foam and traced around the edge of the table. Then the hubs and

A friend of mine made these cookies the other day.  She found the recipe  HERE . I ate 4 in the span of 30 minutes....yes, they are that good! These are perfect for fall. I can't wait to make these for my next gathering! Now all we need is for the fall weather to come back...it's hot again, but that's part of the beauty/ugly (depending on how you look at it) of living in the deep South:o) Speaking of weather, I have a little man who is under the weather right now, so things around here are slow going. Not much in the crafting arena right now either. I haven't had the energy nor the desire. I am hoping to get the crafting bug after this week. We have so much going on this week that there really isn't time to be creative. Praying for E to feel better, so he can enjoy the rest of the week with us! Have a good evening, ya'll.

It was the fag end of the career. 1975 was the year. It was the fourth test. Chepauk on Pongal day. Clive Lloyd has just begun the journey of taking the West Indies to world beater status for more than a decade. Vivian Richards and Gordon Greenidge made their debuts in that series. Andy Roberts had exploded on to the scene and was the start of a whole generation of fast bowlers the likes of which the game had never seen. West Indies had won the first two tests convincingly. Those days, India was not really a world force. India had turned to the Nawab to lead them , once again in that series, for only he could knit a fractious Indian team into something resembling a national side. And how he did. In a game where Andy Roberts was virtually unplayable, where Vishwanath stood alone for his 97, one of the greatest Test innings of all time and where Prasanna, Bedi and Chandra conjured to take India to a famous win. The Nawab was the captain who made it all happen. Mansur Ali Khan, the Nawab

Five years ago today, this little bit of joy blessed our lives immensely. I can't believe how quickly these past 5 years have flown by. He is the sweetest, kindest little soul. You can't help but love him. Little did we know that when God gave us him, He gave us a little peace of heaven. Happy Birthday E!  Mommy, Daddy & S.R. love you! 

I saw this on Pinterest today and thought it was great! Yes, I jumped on the bandwagon...I may be jumping ship though, b/c I may never get off of the computer!!

Here it is. The Super Hero Birthday party for E. I'll try to let the pictures do most of the talking:o)  I made the cake...in a hurry. I wasn't as happy with this one as I was with the Barbie cake I made for S.R.'s party. Table scape for the boys. Table for the girls. A shot through the web.  Party favor table  Each of the boys got to take home a lunch box, plate & cup(not pictured) along with a book & Spiderman comic book.  This is what was inside of the lunch box. I found these in the dollar section at Target the other day and they were half off. Construction of the Bat Cave. The hubs and my daddy did a great job.  Fishing line, tacks and black plastic table cloths made the Bat Cave. The kids got a kick out of it. We had the lights off when they walked through it. Here were some of the games. To get the posters, visit  designergirl007  at Etsy.  Here were some of our villains...Doc Oc  Lex Luthor...for some reason I thought his name was Max Luther and I couldn'
