Birthday week

It's my birthday

I've had a lot of them so we will just leave that part ;)

I went to see Twilight: Breaking Dawn last night

Had my cake on Thursday

Pumpkin cheesecake with gluten free cookie and pecan crust, caramel cream cheese icing and rum pecan topping. HOME MADE!!!

I have to work on my list of free meals from restaurants 

Had my free Starbucks this morning!!

I hope you all enjoy this wonderful day as much as I did!

Hugs, Lisa

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I just pulled out a few old pics to share.

I miss all my goodies in storage. I could run out and get them at the old house but here I have to get a ride over to the storage lot and get it all out to make sure I have it.

I will confess I have anxiety over going over there.

One I want all my stuff and two I am afraid I will find it broken

But I will enjoy my pictures and hope to get some Christmas up

After Thanksgiving

love my pics I could learn to move the junk first

Hugs, Lisa

Hello...Are you still there?

I really hope you are.

I am a very bad blog friend :(

I love you all and get to visit some but not as much as I should.

I have some reasons, not good ones, reading, lack of internet, too tired, keeping everyone's kids. You know life.

But I do try and I do still keep in some touch.

I am on Facebook and it really zaps my computer time. 

BAD I know!

(wish this was mine )

I have been getting my house together, and gathering ideas on Pinterest, oh yea have you seen that LOVE IT! If you want to join up let me know I can give you an invite!

Too fun and you can share all the great photos there!!

I am ready for fall and Halloween and am looking forward to the cool weather, PLEASE let it hit NC soon!!

I took my 3 year old niece to the fair and will take my, soon to be 7, year old nephew to ride the Halloween Train this weekend in New Hill. 

So I am busy and doing good and hope you all are too. I will be better at visiting so I can keep up with those of you not on Facebook, so I don't loose you.

Hope your fall is lovely and full of wonder.

Hugs, Lisa

Where do you keep your Magazines?

While trying to clean up and out today I started puzzling on where to keep my magazines. I don’t keep any silly People or Entertainment Weeklys I may buy, but what about the GREAT ONES???

Bottom shelf of my bookshelf in the Living room packed full,the Somerset issues take a huge section (left)

and here

This is this year’s, so far, and it is stuffed! My poor shoes being pushed out. No space left in my closet.

Here

My Cath catalogs hiding under furniture!!

I also have a HUGE box stored at my aunt’s house (need to get that) and a whole huge shopping tote in storage. I do tear down ones that end up with not so interesting things in them. But my ME Home Companions are treasures, and Somerset are BOOKS! How can I do that to them?

I have such limited space and know I need to get rid of them but …

So what do you do with yours? Maybe you will have a great idea I can use too!

Hugs, Lisa

Mollie Makes

Have you seen this?

It is so cool!

Had to have it when I found it at Barnes & Noble

Just the strawberries alone got me! But is is cute all kinds of crafts and collecting and decorating.

Vintage and new

Has a project included! It is $11.99 in the US but so worth it

Hope you see it and enjoy it too!

Hugs, Lisa

Happy Independence Day!

Wishing everyone a Happy Independence Day!

Hoping that all people everywhere can someday enjoy the freedoms we do here in

the good old USA!

Hugs, Lisa

Tea cup treasures

I spent the weekend going to a few of my mother and mines, favorite places.

We spent Saturday at a teddy bear tea and Sunday we visited Suzanna’s!

I scored these two lovelies!

They are in pretty good shape and I am very pleased to add them to my collection!

I was the big spender. Yes ladies these beauties put me back $3!!

I will have to wait until it is cooler to go through my stash in storage to find my other cups and saucers, but these will be fun until I find them.

Hugs, Lisa
