***Hello There***

I think it might be officially spring.....maybe about to be summer....the weather can't make up it's mind here in Arkansas. BUT my rose bush is giving me a TON of the most beautiful roses this year, and they smell amazing also. I am pretty proud that I have not killed this plant....Brand has tried several times with the weed-eater, but it lives and it is beautiful.

My step-daughters aunt got married a couple of weeks ago and of course I could not help but take my camera and take some candid shots.










It was a super sweet and beautiful wedding. Congrats to Justin and Starla.

I am itching to do some DIY projects (don't know when I will have time)! Here are a few I am looking at....
Sunburst Pillows ----- LOVE.
Should someone decide they love me a WHOLE bunch and want to make me one.... Here is the LINK.

Another LOVELY item that should someone with sewing skills wants to make me one.....

Mini Polaroid Magnets .... Hello Ladies needs to be ALL over this!

Did I mention that my birthday is not too far away???? June 5th ...... hint, hint.....  :-)

Everything has been going really good around the homestead. Getting the house and yard ready for all the summer festivities that having a HUGE pool brings. :-) I did rescue about 2,000 tadpoles eggs from our pool before we put all the chemicals in it. We put them in a mini fish tank in the kitchen.....a good 600 have hatched and are growing into the cutest little things. Don't have any pics, but .... YAY they survived!

We have a pretty big event coming up next week at the Church, our 8th Annual Big Press. It's a weight lifting competition for all of our local jr and sr high students! We are expecting about 100 lifters and a TON of parents and friends coming out to support. We also have the amazing minister Chip Brim and as a special guest we got Peyton Hillis! Don't worry I didn't know who it was either, but he is pretty big and it is really bringing in the media and the people.... so yay. I will have TONS of pics to post about that, it is on Monday Night.

That's all I got for now, have a great day!
