Fashion Time Capsule and Glitter Albums
So, I have two more nifty projects to show you – The first ones are the Copy Cats. Last night I got my daily email from Fab.com. I like Monday nights because it has all kinds of retro stores to browse. I don’t remember the name of the store but the owner offered albums. She…
Nifty Projects
It is so cold here this morning that I honestly do not want to even get out at noon and take Mr. Picky Eater lunch at the Flea. He has been diligently tending a booth for the last seven weeks. Generally, the Norman Flea Market is monthly but in December, January, and early February it…
Candy Plates and Wreaths

He loved it…
ABC’s of Roasting Green Chilies

What once was Old is New Again
Tuesday nights I usually have a new recipe, and I DO have one or two to share, but tonight I thought I would share my artistic side with you. First though, I want to share a story with you. My dad loved wild flowers. He thought they were the most beautiful of all God’s plant…
