My Sweet Tooth

I have pictures I would like to share but my hard drive on my computer crashed!!!  Does anyone know how I can get those pictures downloaded to a disk?
Well let me see what I can find one moment please....................

Here are some of my "goodies" I have in my hutch....don't they look yummy????  I am also collecting wedding cake toppers trying to talk my mother to give me hers, my parents have been married for 55 years!!  Quite an accomplishment for these days!!  I wasn't so lucky :(

These cookies look good enough to eat don't you think?

All the little cupcakes and the petite fours are so yummy looking.  Please excuse me if I don't remember what I got from who and I apologize if I left someone out (you know senior moment), please let me know so I can give credit for them where credit is deserved. The little petite fours I bought at Cathy's shop Treasured Heirlooms and the Chocolate cake, the heart shaped cookies, the vanilla cupcakes I got from Char's shop Some Place in Thyme.  The adorable Chocolate faux tea cake and the sweet Rose Fax cupcake in pink and the lovely rose Petite Four Cake came from Kim at My Pink Boutique

Aren't they just the sweetest things you have ever seen?
I hope to get my pictures from my crashed hard drive, I have some really nice pictures of my "stuff" and also my kids and grandsons.
Thank you for joining me with my sweet tooth!!!

My Halloween Decorate...for today :)

I thought I would share with you some of the decorations I have been doing.  Up to today my camera has not been cooperative.

This is a side table I have in my dining room.  Because of the love I have for the color pink I have not decorated for Halloween in several years but reading your posts and seeing your pictures have inspired to see what I could come up with.

This is my dining room table.  I got the chargers at Michaels and are really candle holders, they have rhinestones all around the edge of them.  The checkered plates are from Target and are also candle holders.  I had a hard time finding white pumpkins and I am going to take the largest one and paint it pink and put some lace and roses on it :)  I took some checkered ribbon and put bows on the glasses and the sherbet thingys .  The rat and the "Creepy" I also got from Michaels, the black wine glasses I got at Dollar Tree as well as the menu sign, the checkered pumpkins I got at Target in the dollar section but they were $2.50.  Also made cake trays with Dollar Tree clear plates and candle holders just glued them together.  Took some wine bottles and put Halloween labels on them.

This little graveyard is my centerpiece for my dining room table...isn't it cute?

This silver tray I got from Dollar Tree and I am going to spray paint it black.

Oh and here is my girl Lexus...she goes with my theme of black and white on my table which reminds me I can't keep her off the table she likes to get up there and lay there and get the skeletons in the graveyard for me,  Such a helper

So I guess that's it for now
Thank you for visiting!!!  And this is so much fun, I look forward every day to look at peoples blog and their pictures.

Fall colors

Happy Fall to everyone!!!
I am originally from Michigan but I have been in Florida for 33 years now.  I miss the season changes and I had moved back to Traverse in 2001 for 14 months but came back to Florida.  This is a picture I took when I was there and the leaves were just starting to turn colors

This is a picture of me when I was 19 years old and the leaves were just turning then, I remember it was taken in September.  This wasn't a posed picture the photographer was loading his camera and I was waiting for him and when he looked up and saw this he said "Hold that pose!!!"

I found this picture and downloaded it, I just loved all the leaves that had fallen off the trees.
I sure miss the fall colors and the season changes, don't you just love the fall?  The cool crisp air and making leave piles and going on hay rides?

And......Please don't forget October is Breast Health Awareness Month
Make sure you, your mother, your sister, your cousin, your aunt, your neighbor, your girlfriend and even a work friend do a self check and be checked.
Happy Autumn!!!!

Grandchildren

When I had my boys I thought I could not love anything more, they were the light of my life. So enjoyed being a mother and it is hard when they grow up and leave the home. But then ahhhhhh GRANDCHILDREN!!! And you seem to love them even more than you loved your children. I so look forward to spending time with my grandsons and do you want to know another good thing about grandchildren? YOU GET TO SEND THEM HOME!!!! I love spending time with my grandsons but I guess getting old they wear me out and I am tired when they leave. My 3 year old grandson is a lets say...curious one he wants to find out about everything. My five year old is more laid back and likes to read and we play cars or write on the sidewalk with chalk. But I love them so much!!! This past weekend my 5 year old hit his head on the kitchen counter and cut above his eye and had to have 3 stitches, at the end of June my 3 year old had stitches 2 in the inside and 5 on the outside. He was jumping on the bed. Boys will be boys I guess.... I just got to love em....they grow up so fast.
I wish you much fun and joy with your children and grandchildren!!!

Thanks for listening!!!!

My First Attempt at Writing on My Blog

Hello and bear with me on my first attempt at blogging.  I have spent about a month just looking at everyone's blog and I am so excited to try my hand at this.

I just love to look at everyone's blog and to see all the creative things you have put on your blogs.  I feel like I have lost my creativity and all of you have woken me up and I am so excited to get started.

Thank you so much for bearing with me on my first blog.  I already know what I am going to do for my 2nd attempt.
