~Loving The Color White and Giveaway #2 Winner~

Remember when I showed you this picture of my decorating ideas folder?

Well, I’ve been going through it and putting the pages into plastic sleeves and then into a notebook. Much easier to look through them this way. I noticed when going through them…that over the years, I had saved a lot of photos with white country decor in them. And I realized that I’m loving the white country “prim” look. Here are a couple more peeks of some pictures in my notebook. I believe that these pictures were from one of my Country Samplers some years back.

I have the pattern for the bunny that is in the above picture. I think I’m going to have to get it out of my pattern box and make it!! I also have an old window, but it is not as pretty as the one in the picture below. This one is hanging in their dining room, but mine is going to hang in our living room.

I’m so enjoying going through my decorating folder and will share more picture as I get them all organized into my notebooks.

~Went To A Pub, Giveaway #1 Winner, And Giveaway #2~

My busy week is winding down, but I sure have had a lot of fun. My sister and I went out on Thursday evening…it was just raining when we left, but by the time we got back here to the house…the rain had changed to freezing rain. She had a very scary drive home to her house. What should have taken her about 15 minutes…took her about 35 minutes. And by Friday morning, we had snow on the ground and lots of ice on the roads. All the schools in our county were closed…so Josie got to start her Spring break early. My mom and I had to wait until all the ice melted on the roads before we could get together. I’ll share more about my time with my mom and my sister on my next post.

This evening we took our youngest DD out to dinner to celebrate her graduating from college. Our oldest DD and her husband went with us too. Josie was at a friend’s birthday party and Peyton went to visit his other grandma and grandpa. We let Laura pick where she wanted to go for dinner and it was to a British Pub…

The food was very good, there was live music, and a lot of laughter. We had a really nice time with our kids.  Of course, I just had to take some pictures to share with all of you.

They had some great lights on the ceiling.

Not to mention the awesome throne chairs.

And some wonderful wall decor. This picture is of what was on the wall above the curved booth that we were sitting in.

It was the first time that we had eaten there, but I’m sure that we will go again.

Friday…I spending the day with my mom; we always spend a day together near my birthday.

Now, we are up to Saturday…my youngest is graduating from The Art Institute of Pittsburg with a graphic arts degree. She went to school on-line while working full-time in the hair salon. We are taking her out to dinner with  family to celebrate.

Sunday…I’m resting. And on Monday…Mr. D is taking me away for the day for my birthday. Makes me tired just thinking about all of it. LOL… But I know that I’m so blessed to be spending time with those that I love and are so special to me.
