bathrooms ... 2.5

 
 
 
 
well, some of you have asked .... let us see your FINISHED home! here are the 2.5 bathrooms. The first one is the 'white' bathroom it is located off of the studio. Down the hall next to the guest room (available to one and all! ~ especially out-of-staters!!) is the 'hawaii' bathroom. And lastly, the master bathroom ... it has 2 showerheads (I know, I'm spoiled) and the toilet closet has a picture of Balboa and the wedge (Newport Beach, CA). tomorrow I'll highlight our work rooms (aka: the studio ~ mine and the library ~ darlin' D's) ... and the garage b/c it is actually an extension of Doug's collections!! until then, toodles ~~ m

Hebrews 12:2-3

Hebrews 12:2-3 (New International Version)
2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
JESUS loves you. How do we fix our eyes on Jesus? Daily through our thoughts, actions, what we read, what we listen to ... He came for you, all because He loves you. He died for you ... you were bought for a price ~ a huge price ... what will you do for Him? today?? And your past, present and future has been forgiven for all who call Him Jesus, my Savior, my Resurrected Redeemer. Consider what you will do today. all because of Christ, m

Mary Moo's Dollhouse

 
 
 
 
ALL unpacked ... I mean EVERYTHING ... including the garage! lOOk at this dollhouse! Great Grandpy (Archie Ledford, Butler PA) built this. It's a semi-replica of The Fitch Tavern in Bedford, MASS. That was Darlin' D's 2nd childhood home. So, I cleaned it up ... and my cow collection of Mary Moo's reside in it ..... LOOK AT THESE!!

Friday 3 ~ as in collections

 
 
 
I have decided to do a Friday 3 ~ as in collections that I own (or want to own). Here are these .... 3 C's = Coca-Cola bottles (technically these belong to Darlin' D ~ but I live with them!!), Candy (YES! Pez dispensers!!) and Cows (as in Mary Moo's Monthly collection). I laugh and smile at myself ... what I collect usually changes as I travel and as the wind blows. So here are the 3 for this Friday. As you can tell I have NOT decided how to display (or even to play with) the candy and the cows. I think I may put the cows in the doll house that great grandpy built of the Fitch Tavern (of which I own!) ~ many moons ago! EVERYONE is invited to come on over to see my stuff and we'll sit a spell and sip some iced tea! I'd love to hear from you all, any ideas and or suggestions ?!! leave a comment of your collections.
happy weekend, xoxo, m

Isaiah 40:8

 
I have always loved (loved!!) this verse .. and it's in my new magazine that I got today. The magazine is life:beautiful (faith for your journey). I know I received it late because of the address change; still I enjoy it! We also dedicated the house before the walls went up with scripture and this one is in (my) the studio!!

going Green ...

okay, this is an issue for some and should possibly be for most! What do you do to 'live green?' I know some fanatics ... of which I am not, but I'm doing small pieces of this. What I have done is never using plastic food bags .. yep, I carry my reuseable bags with me. I bought a big RED one in Lesotho and it is my very favO'rite one to use. I have a small green bag that holds the bread excellently. And some (more than NOT!) the stores will give you a .5 - .7 cents refund per bag. OKAY, that may NOT sound like a lot .. but let's do a little bit of math. There are 52 weeks a year and I probably don't shop 4 of those ~~~> so, I'm saving only 2.88 BUT I don't have the plastic that won't ever ever ever go away .. and it makes me feel great! water around here is a HUGE issue .. so, we have water-saving everything! and what else can and are doing to do the GREEN THING? xoxo, m

Remember when we all collected matches?!! My favO'rite collection is MY FRIENDS!! Happy Friday everyone ... what do you collect currently, what would you like to collect? xoxox, m
