Glitter and a Movie presents Steel Magnolias



Steel Magnolias and Mothers Day!

Well, I finally got the picture I wanted to present for my entry into the Glitter and a Movie featuring Steel Magnolias. I never realized how difficult it could be to photograph the subject. I want to thank my wonderful daughter who helped me to get the best antique look I had envisioned in my mind. WE DID IT! PHEW!!!
My latest fetish is collecting empty jars, such as this Jelly jar above. It has these lovely lines up and down it which captivated me to create with it!

I want to shout out to all the moms out in bloggy land! "Happy Mothers Day!"
I'm Counting my 3 blessings and enjoying the weekend with all 3 at home this weekend! I HOPE you enjoy All your BLESSINGS!!! ; )

BLESSINGS


Hello Tweetie, Counting My Daily Blessings!



I just wanted to share some Joyful Blessings I spotted from my  front and back yard this week!
These things I treasure dearly.  This is the first year I have spotted hummingbirds nesting in our large Ash tree.The nest is so tiny!!! It amazes me how two let alone one bird could fit  inside such a small space. I'm thinking they must be almost to the point where they will be ready to leave.  The Momma bird flew right up to my face yesterday as I sat nearby to watch. I promptly walked away  to give her back her privacy. This tree is so special to me because my dear late Grandpa Rod helped my husband plant it at least 17years ago.  As our temperatures are already in the 80's to 90's and  May is upon us to kick off our summer swelters, the tall green and lush branches grace us with much desired shade.

Every year I look forward to the Mexican primrose blooming in the front!  I just can't help but smile looking at these pretty pink lovelies. ; )
I like how this metal turquoise cross looked among the greenery and cheerful pink petals.

Yup, I'm Thankful and Hopeful in Spring!!! <3

Thankful and Inspiring....


Hello........

I wanted to share this beautiful giveaway I won from a Dear friend, Marcia at  The Shop Around the Corner! This graceful pink dress tag is decorated with a diamond floral ribbon belt and is sprinkled with pearls down its flowing bodice. The tag is called " LOVELY" and I just "Swooned" over just how Lovely it is in person!!! I decided to place LOVELY amongst my spring decor. I am so Happy to see spring blooming once again! I know some of you are still waiting for signs of spring, I promise it is on it's way!
I also wanted to thank Marcia who inspired me to creatively mod podge some eggs for Easter! I perused Pinterest to see what others were crafting with eggs and I came up with this idea! All supplies I used can easily be found at your local craft store, (Michaels has great bargains in my opinion) and the plastic eggs I purchased at the 99c store.
Starting out I layered white napkins to mask some of the colored eggs and then I applied cut sections of the cupcake papers. I also crumpled the cupcake paper before I cut them into smaller sections to make the paper less stiff.
I have to advise to work in sections and dry sections at a time so your fingers are less likely to stick to your project. I used the matte mod podge on my eggs. I might try to make a few with some of the gloss mod podge if  I get out to purchase some before Easter is over.
  All in all it was relaxing and a fun project that I would recommend for anyone, even the kids if they like to be crafty creative!
