Sneek Peek at Fall...

I found this cute skeleton garland and this yummy gauzy stuff this weekend so I just had to add some Halloween spookiness to my candle sticks. I am off to get my Halloween/Fall tubs so I can get the rest of my decor out. It has been alot cooler here in Oklahoma so I am slowly getting the Fall decorating bug. Have a great day, Paula

One For The Road

My baby brother and his wife left us here in Oklahoma and ventured to Indiana to start their new careers. Since he is 10yrs younger than me I felt like I was sending off one of my own. To take my mind off of the "goodbye" for a while I made them each a "goodie bag" for the road.

1. Starbucks gift card (for the 12hr. drive)

2. Burt's lip balm (both he and his wife and myself are all addicted to this)

3. Reeses cups (the good stuff)

4.C.D. of traveling songs (On the road again, Hit the road Jack, King of the road etc. They called and said they got a kick out of it when they were stranded not once but twice on the side of the road)

5.Toilet paper (I'll just say my brother and I have the same sick sense of humor)

6.Instead of a card I wrote on the back of a family picture so they wouldn't "forget to remember me".

It was hard to see them leave but I know that they appreciated the goodie bag and that they know how much they will be missed. Have a great day, Paula

No Camera For Now

My husband has the camera at work so I cannot post pics of the Vegas shadow box yet. So I am posting a family photo of the reunion we had a couple of weeks ago. We had family in from Arizona and South Carolina with some cousins that we hadn't seen in over 8 years. We were celebrating my husband's grandmother's 80th birthday. Happy Bithday Nee Nee.

Saturday Morning Fun

I played on Flickr this morning and decided to put myself in a magazine. Have a great weekend, Paula

What Happens In Vegas...

God Bless America

Here is some of my Independence Day decor. I love this picture of my grandfather in his Navy uniform, I think he is so handsome. I always put out Ole Uncle Sam to greet this visitors. My husband purchased him for me several years ago from a local aritst. I thank God everyday for the past, present and future servicemen and women who keep us free. I am so proud to be an American. Have a happy and safe holiday, Paula

Mantel Mania

My friends Kari and Kijsa are having a mantel party and although I don't have a fireplace I purchased this large shelf to stand in until I do. The stockings get hung here and it is definately the focal point of my living room. (this shelf is huge!) This is the first place I decorate for the changing seasons and it now holds the first Senior picture of the family. So it's like a scrapbook of sorts. Hope you enjoy.
