Hello my friends!!!
I wanted to show you what I have done with one of the doors.  Remember in the post I showed you my three doors?  Well here is my desk/craft table

I am going to get a piece of Plexiglas to put on the top of it
And this is with my craft stuff on it.  The table underneath is what I had before, it was my parents first kitchen table. I am eventually going to get two file cabinets and put on each side of the table and then use the kitchen table to set up for my sewing machine.



Here is the other side of the table I have so much more room!!!!  I love it!!
 I went treasure hunting this past weekend and I found this scale isn't it sweet?  I really scored this past weekend when I went out to Oviedo to a couple of shops there. 


I made these tags for my parents "The King and Queen" on my new crafting table, cute huh?  I also made 2 more Valentine Cards and want to make some for the rest of my family.
 Better picture of the card I made for my parents.  Do you see in the right top corner part of the tag that Cindy made for me?  SWEET!!!

Hope your day is wonderful!!!!
Suzann xoxo

How was your weekend?  Mine was ok, yesterday I was in bed with a bad headache and finally felt better at 3:00.  Today I am still working at going through my storage and getting rid of some things.  One of my resolutions is to go through my storage and things I don't need or want I need to find a new home for them.


I started to sand these doors 5 years ago.....now I think I like them just the way they are.

It still has the original locks and partial handle, I think I am just going to clean them up.  I am going to use one for my desk and the other two I am going to put behind my headboard of my bed.
I hope y'all had a great weekend (Look at me trying to be a Southerner when I am a Michigander)

My Prince Charming

I wanted to show you what I have been working on for the last couple of days.  It is a gift to my parents, their anniversary is February 11th so I made them this Valentine.  I was having problems with the lighting so I picked this picture it seemed to be the best of all I took.  I will try to take a better picture before I send it to them.

I hope to take a better picture for some reason (even with my new camera) it was coming out too red.
My parents will be married for 55 years on February 11th, quite an accomplishment they fight like cats and dogs but I admire them for staying together through thick and thin.  It is like a love/hate thing they get on each others nerves but then when something happens to one or the other they are so concerned.  Both of my parents are dealing with health issues but they are there for each other even when they fight.  I couldn't live in the situation that they live in (maybe that is why I am single) but no matter what happens they are still together.  I love them both and it makes me so happy that they have weathered the storm where other people would have walked away.  My father has always been a hard worker supporting 5 kids at jobs no one would like, but he did it.  I remember when we would go to church and when we would get back home he would put on the stereo you know the vinyl records and he would sing with the music....."The're gonna put me in the movies...gonna make a big star out of me ...All I gotta do is Act Naturally!!!"  It makes me cry just thinking of my dad and what I admire about him.  My mother went to work when I was 5 years old and they had 5 children I was the oldest and so I was suppose to be the best behaved one which I was :)
Gosh I miss when I was growing up....sometimes I remember I wanted different parents since they were so strict!!  But now as I became a parent I understand some of the things they were trying to instill in me.  I am truly blessed that my parents are still here to enjoy.  Even though I live in Florida and they live in Michigan I do not go a day thinking about them and rejoice they are still here to love on this earth.  My mother battled cancer in 2009 and she won!!!
Thank you for listening to me rattle on.....I really appreciate all of you!!!

Love you mom and dad and congratulations on making it together after 55 years Muah!!!


P.S.  I am still looking for my Prince Charming if you find him will you send him my way :)
