New Shelf from Sawdusty's Cabin

Here is a photo of a new scoop shelf that I got from Denise at http://www.sawdustys-cabin.com/

Denise is so talented, the new shelf is the one on the left, farmhouse tan, then the black one on the right side

I had gotten several months ago. As you can see all of my shelves are different colors, I have no

color theme, if I like something I get it. Besides I am the queen of my castle and I make the rules. HE HE

Photo's of my goodies from Family Heirloom Weavers

Here are a few photo's of my bedding from, "Family Heirloom Weavers", I decided to put them in my

bedroom at our farmhouse we are remodeling. I am using a blanket for the bedspread and a throw across

the bottom of the bed. (Couldn't afford a coverlet at this time, so I am pretending).

And check out the awesome curtains I got there. OMG I love their things, and to be able to see

them actually making them was an experience I will cherish for a long time.

Diabetic Research Walk!!

My daughter raised over $500. 00 for Diabetic Research and walked in support of this on Sat. I am so thankful to God that she was able to do this, her health didn't allow her to do it last year. Here is a photo of her and my precious Grandbabies. I know one day there will be a cure(.I pray for a cure, as I watch her live with the struggles of this disease.) She has type 1 Juvenile diabetics. I call her children the miracle babies!!! You  Rock Steph!!!!
