Hey there!

Just popping in to remind you that this Friday is Fresh-Cut Friday.

I'll have the linky up Thursday night.

I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday afternoon! 

Oh My Gosh!

The week is flying by!

Are you having a good one? 

I hope so! 

I, myself, am looking forward to this weekend! 

Of course this Friday is Fresh-Cut Friday. 

I will have the linky tool up so that the party can start early. 

Just incase you missed it.... I created a feature 

button for anyone that has ever been featured 

for FCF. Feel free to take it if you collect feature buttons. 

I will see you here Thursday night.

Glorious Saturday Morning

Helllooooo my gurly friends!

Just thought I would pop in this fine Saturday morning and say hi!

This is where I sit every morning (except Saturday) to put my make up on now.

I love it! I'm so glad I bought this little table. 

Side note:

See that picture in the frame? I LOVE this picture!! 

It is my cousin and I on Easter Sunday at our Grandparents house. 

She is probably 6 and I'm about 4. 

It just captures how she and I have always been. Me admiring her and wanting to be

just like her in every way.  :) 

Love her so much, even all these years later. She is more like my big sister than a cousin. 

Back to the point:

I did a pretty extravagant thing (blame the vanity)  and bought a Napoleon Lipstick. 

Its a plan nude called Lianna.

The girl at Ulta went on and on about how fabulous it was....

meh....I'm not super impressed. It's nice and all but the color is very close to my natural lip color 

and the lipstick drags over my lip. I like a smooth almost slick application. I would not

buy another one, but it does look pretty on my vanity.  And that is worth something. 

Right?

If your looking for a high end lipstick, I really like the YSL lipsticks.

They are expensive... but we're talking splurge fun here, not everyday.

Very moist and they stay on. I don't find that I have to reapply a lot during the day.

For everyday.... I still love my Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in 

caramel. I keep on at my desk at work, in my purse, in the bathroom, 

in the lipstick box..... on and on. I don't even know how many of these I have 

gone through over the years. It is my "go-to" main stay of lipsticks.

You can get it just about at any drugstore Target or Walmart for 6 or 7 dollars and Amazon has it for 

less than $5. And with Amazon Prime there is no shipping. 

Top THAT! 

Something else I did for fun was to order new personal business cards. 

Aren't they pretty?

I got them from VistaPrint. First I created my image in PicMonkey and 

just uploaded the whole thing to the VistaPrint "design your own" card. 

Very simple stuff!

They were about $36 and came in less than a week. 

I am very happy with the quality and the service.

One last thing.... 

Don't forget that this friday is Fresh-Cut Friday. 

I know that it is also 4th of July. But you can link any floral subject post 

you want. Including tablecapes and floral designs in decor. 

I'll have my post ready Thursday night and it will stay open all weekend.

Have a lovely weekend!

Reminder

Reminder! 

The linky tool will be up Thursday night.

With a Cherry On Top!

Oh,  Gosh!

Sometimes I feel like my life is completely de-railed! 

Honestly! The week has flown by.   Who am I kidding? The whole month is gone.

I went to a pumpkin painting class, a Harvest Brunch, had company in town and Sunday daughter and I went to our first bridal show!  Very busy! But VERY FUN!!! 

(I know lots of exclamations!!!)

And with all that...

At some point last week I turned 51. 

And shortly after that I got a piece of junk mail 

offering me a Senior discount.... say whaaaaaaat?

Seriously?

Good thing I don't take that kind of thing to heart.  (much)

 I also got de-railed on my next big project. I decided to start a baby blanket instead. I'm doing the Granny Ripple. (kind of sounds like a weird dance, huh?) It's not though. 

It is a fun and quick moving stitch.

 Oh! ooopsie! There's a peek at my Fresh-Cut Friday arrangement... :)

Don't forget to join in on Thursday night for Fresh-Cut Friday!

SO, that's it for now!

Have a great day!!

What I Love....

I love .... 

That we are FINALLY getting some of that beautiful weather!

Being in my backyard!

A  hot cup of coffee from my Kurig Coffee Maker!

I also REALLY love that feeling you get when a project starts to roll to an end and 

you can just tell... It's going to be good!

 That's where I'm at with the big Granny Square Afghan that I am making for Sweet Daughter.

 I can't wait to show you the finished project... actually, I can't wait for the finished project to be done!

More later....

 I also love Flowers! 

I hope you will be able to join in this Friday.

What's UP!

It feels like Monday... but it's really Tuesday.

The week is flying by!

I hope you had a great 3 day weekend! 

Did you do anything fun? 

We were very low-key here. 

I watched this oldie....

The acting was okay... comedy was okay...

Sometimes I love to watch these old movies just for the style

factor. This one has tons! 

Look at that living room! 

What it's about...

When Mike Hagen and Marilla Brown marry after a whirlwind romance on the west coast, they return to New York to find that they don't have much in common. She is a clothing designer who lives in a swanky apartment and whose friends are actors, artists and the like. He is a sports writer who likes to go boxing matches and horse races. They clearly love one another and make every effort to be flexible. When a mobster, whom Mike has been accusing of fixing sports events, decides to go after him he must pretend to be out of town and mayhem ensues.

 Also saw this... FABULOUS! 

Loved it!

  What it's about...

Following a mysterious explosion in a busy London market, the police swoop, a suspect is detained, and the country prepares for one of the most high-profile trials in British legal history. Two exceptional lawyers with a romantic history step into a dangerous web of secrets and lies, and when evidence points to a British Secret Service cover up, it's not just their reputations, but their lives that are at stake.

 Color of the Week #7

 Here's my color of the week... Maria by Julep.... In person it looks like a foil. Very pretty!

 

Just a quick reminder... We'll have Fresh-Cut Friday this week. I will have the 

linky tool set up and ready to go for Thursday night. 

I hope you will join in! 

That's it for now...
