piddle fartin' around...

yep, its one of those days...

too cold to play outside...
so added to the heart day tree...

I even used the polka dotted box platforms from the packaging that the candles were in...
rose soaps, too...

and it looks pretty in here...

and I saved a couple of the rose soaps for the mantle...
along with the candy candles...
say that 3 times fast...

Mr Rabbit is not amused...
he is waiting for his holiday (and so am I)...
he's not into that mushy stuff...
probably 'cause all the girl bunnies are stowed away in storage...

I was sitting here last night looking at my little angel girl with her blue birds and noticed something really cool...
those look like rain drops...
it looks like the got caught in a spring shower and are hiding under here until it passes...

more fake chocolate...

these are soaps that you can use...
just peel a petal and its like any other soap...

love the color of these...

so, what did you do today?

anything fun or exciting?
got a cake in the oven...
beef and noodles for supper tonight...
got the water on for the noodles and Craiger is making a run for the store for a couple of things...
and doing laundry...
playing with Elmer...
just Monday stuff...
even got my nap in...
got so sleepy after lunch...

I have another post ready to go...
so if I get bored again, I may be back to blogging 2-3 posts a day...
so get ready for some fun!

a little trip to town today...

I was bored today...
so we headed for town...
something we hardly ever do, just because...
but I wanted to get out...

I did a tad bit of shopping...
these are little bitty candles...
that look like chocolates...
cute?

cookie dough cupcakes bites...
with sprinkles!
and a couple of heart shaped items to put on my heart day tree...

found some pink heart paper doilies, too...
it was a fun time with DH...

I love these and will keep them out all year...

and some rose soaps...
in a pretty shade of dark pink...
I think they look like icing roses that I used to make...

see where this is going?
I will get it all set up tomorrow...
and then show you what I did with it...

stopped at KFC and got an ice cream cone to share on the way home...
with me gloves on and the heater on full blast!
it was around 30 here today, but that wind was painful!
it had a nasty sting to it and I got my fill of it pretty darn quick...

came home and took a nice long nap...
finally got warm again...
we are all got stuffy heads and dry coughs here...
there are things going around all over...
so hope we beat this thing and it doesn't get any worse...

well, Craig just turned the critter lose, so I had better love on him while he is in the mood...
I have something fun planned for all of you tomorrow, so stop back in again!

OH, YEAH!
I DIDN'T TELL YOU WHERE I FOUND ALL OF THAT, NOW DID I?
DOLLAR TREE!

lookin' back at 2012...

it seems like it was just last week, doesn't it?
ok, ok...
been playing around in a new photo editor...
picmonkey...
and I like it...
easy to use...
fast...
and free, unless you want all the extras...
I miss making these things...
so this was fun...

DH is shopping...
I woke up last night in the middle of the night with the hiccups...
and it was all grease...
probably no more fish dinners for me from the cafe...
finally starting to feel a little better...
puttered around a bit, but mostly sittin' here on my butt...

so, might go take a nap or just wait for hubby to return...
not sure how long he has been gone, forgot to look at the clock when he left...
but we have made mashed potatoes and cleaned up while he's been gone...
put cooking oil in Elmer's and Daphne's ears...
for ear mites...
they were treated and just doing a follow up to make sure...
Elmer is awfully quiet, so I had better go see where he crashed...

have a great afternoon and evening!

I found the sun...

when I got up from my nap today...
I saw the sun shining in...

love this vintage lamp with its flat shade...

the sun was just dancing in for only a short time...
we have been cloudy forever...

another part of the heart tree...

Elmer is fitting right in...
after a long romp around the house...
he settled into the basinette for a nap...
just look at those sleepy eyes...

I found this on facebook...
would make a great Halloween tombstone...
would love to have this on my stone...
how many people would jump back???
bwahahahahaha...

so, the fish from the cafe is talking back tonight...
got up with a grease taste in my mouth and the hiccups...
we went to bed way too early, so now we are both up...

the weather man, who we know is nuts...
said freezing rain tomorrow afternoon...
DH is heading for Walmart before it hits...
it shouldn't amount to much, but it doesn't take much to throw you in a ditch...

have a great day!

in the kitchen and a thought, a really good thought...

good morning!
just a quick show of how part of the kitchen was regrouped after the Christmas decor came down...
there are junior mints in that pressed glass bowl...
within arms reach of me when I am at the kitchen table...

put up some snowflakes when we moved the mantle and just kept the garland I used for Christmas for a wintery feel...
and if you look closely...
there is glitter on those dern things...
I am sure Donna is dancing with joy...
;)

I won this on someone's blog over a year ago and just love it...
a little journal, which I will use someday...
but just looking for the right inspirational thing to do in it...
maybe some of my thoughts and quotes that I use here on the blog...
maybe something to pass down to a grand daughter...
if I ever get one!

and DH came home last weekend from my meds run with this little guy for me...
I now have adopted 4 of them officially and they are in the kitchen...
always looking out for them now...
they match my sock monkey house slippers and hat...
I think I need a sock monkey shirt...

and here is your thought for the day...
its still early in the new year to start this...
I think I am going to do it...
I wonder how many jars I can fill up?

well, the weekend is upon us once again...
take a smile out there with you give it away to everyone...
you never know who you might touch...
don't forget to take photos and post your fun!
