Let's celebrate!!!
Sunrise just before the winter storm hit a few days ago! Gorgeous!! Just had to share!!
In celebration of my 300th post and my 150 followers, I said I would do a giveaway. Well today is the day! It is a print done by Diane Duda! Amazing details in this print and I hope my photos do it justice. The print measures 8" x 10". Perfect size for display on your wall!
All you need to do is leave a comment on this post! That's it! Just a comment!! And spread the word if you would please? I mean, what good is a giveaway if we don't have a nice sized party?? Seriously!!!!!
I will draw the name on February 28th to give everyone plenty of time to enter.
I also made some good progress on the guest bedroom and thought I would share some pics! I still have to paint the side tables. Just so you know!
This is the guest bedroom mascot!!! Ha!!
The materials used to make this were parts of my wedding dress! She is about 30 inches long and 22 inches high!! Sitting above the window...she surveys the room. She is also holding a little angel. Can you see it?
I got that duvet cover at Macy's! It is all thread embroidered and so gorgeous. It was on the sale table at 75% off! So cool! Couldn't believe my eyes!! And it works perfectly in the room.
Along the top of the room is a huge shelf I use for storage. It really comes in handy!!
Well, there you have it!!! The giveaway and some decorating shots! Woot!! Woot!!
Have a magical and blessed day
Hugging you

Random Tuesday....On the edge of my seat!!!!
On the edge of my seat for sure...waiting for spring!!!! And what do I get????

Snow and ice...20 inches of snow!!! And below freezing temps!!! High winds!! Did I say...COLD!!! Even our State's Gas Company had to turn off the gas on about 20,000 people!!!! Duh! It is freezing! But if they hadn't turned some off; the whole system would have shut down. Is that bizarre or what?? There are still some people without gas and another storm is blowing in. The Governor, she is not happy!! Not to mention the freezing people. It has been a real mess!! Luckily, Dr. John and I have propane gas...so no worries here! We are warm and snug!! Thank you Jesus!!
Random sunsets!! Awesome aren't they?
Oh and today is Tuesday and you know what that means!?! Randomize people...randomize!!! Check out Keely at The UnMom and see what she is up too!! Heck! Check out all the randomizers...cools things happening around the country for sure!!
Yesterday, I picked my granddaughter, Cassie, up and we went to get manicures and pedicures. Ahhhh! Nothing like hot water bubbling around your toes and feet; warm lotion and very warm towels; not to mention the massage!!!
It definitely helped to take the chill off! Then we went out to lunch at Chili's! After that; off to Costco we go! I was looking for lobster tails. Cheri and I are putting together our cooking talents for Valentine's Day and are fixing up a feast for the boys!! Lobster, baked potato, salad, fresh rolls and butter!! Go to have butter!! Then for dessert an ice cream cake! Doesn't that sound yummy? I am sure we will all enjoy ourselves.
Oh I can taste them now!! I would invite you all to join us, but I only got four 8 oz. tails. Huge I say...huge!!
As I told you last week; my son and his wife and three of the grandkids came up to help us move from one storage unit to another. Wellllll that was a bust! The weather was so bad we couldn't do it. High winds and drifting snow made it impossible to see and the freezing temps were all just too much to take. So we all took naps and then the girls (me included) watched the Glee marathon. Dr. John worked on his book. Lee, our son, worked on his computer and Lee Jr. played on my computer all day! So we basically lazed around! Ha! I don't think they minded that at all!!!!! They are coming again this Friday evening around 8 or 9 pm and we will try again on Saturday morn! Here's hoping!!
Here are some collages I have worked on...thought I would share...!!!
The top on is small; about 4 inches by 4 inches. The second one morphs into the third one. Thought you would enjoy that process and I am still working on it. So far, it is kicking my butt! Ha!
Thunderous applause please!! I have just past my 300th post and I now have 150 followers!! Woot!! Woot!! This calls for a celebration don't you think? I believe a giveaway is in order. How about a print from Diane Duda?? I will pick one out and photograph it and then post it soon. When I post the pic, all you need to do is leave a comment on that post.
Well, it is prom dress time. Emma, number three granddaughter
Someone shoot me now!! It is going to snow tonight and tomorrow!! Ack!!!! I have already had my driveway plowed twice!!! Our driveway is about 150 feet long! So shoveling is out of the question!! So Dick Porter is our trusty snow plow driver and boy was I ever glad he was able to plow me out twice within the same week!! The wind kept the drifts flowing over the driveway!! He wants to retire soon and is trying to sell his business, which is doing quite well. He even will sell the equipment..so any takers just let me know and I will pass it on to Dick!!
Guess I have randomly rambled on for a while now and it is time to wrap it up!! Remember to stop and visit Keely now!! May the snow storms pass us all by and allow spring to come early!!! Woot!! Woot!!
Have a magical and blessed day!
Hugging you

Random Tuesday....Storm of the century!!
It is all over the news!! The big storm...biggest yet...starts in New Mexico and covers the rest of the country from there!! Well...we did get a blizzard yesterday!! So far we have 6 inches and it isn't over yet. Hang on people! It is headed your way! Yuck!! Over the weekend it was 60 degrees and sunny!! Sigh!
Spent the weekend in San Diego! Dr. John and I had fun but the weather wasn't all that great. Mainly due to the fact that the big storm started there!! Ha! So Sunday it was cold, windy and rainy! So much for California sunshine. The weather was better in New Mexico!!
Saturday was nice though! About 60 degrees and sunny! Loved it!! We flew Southwest and it went smoothly...no incidents. Yay!! We stayed at the Sheraton Four Points and it was cool. Probably built in the 60's. Clean and well maintained. Mission style furniture throughout and lots of large windows and skylights. Very cool! Here are a few pics...
We really enjoyed the plants and trees surrounding the hotel! Huge and lush greenery!! Palm trees about 40 feet tall! Amazing!!
The restaurant called Citrus, had excellent food. For dinner, Dr. John had crab cakes and I had the beef tenderloin strips. Chocolate cake for dessert..we split!! Yum!!
There were these beautiful trees growing all over the grounds. The bark was velvety soft...felt like cork. We wondered if it was a cork tree but never found out. Loved this tree!!
The flight home was pleasant and we were glad to land in Albuquerque. It was around 8 PM and the weather was fabulous! About 50 degrees and the skies were crystal clear. We were so glad to get home and sleep in our own bed! Ahhh! Bliss!!!
This coming weekend, we are moving the items in our storage unit to a larger unit!! Oh what fun...moving!! Yuck! And the dust covering everything is about 1/4 inch thick!! So neither of us are looking forward to this one. My son and his wife and the grands are coming up to help out! I am so glad!! And this Saturday is Dr. John's 65th birthday! Woot!! Woot!! Happy Birthday honey!! I sure do love you!!!
Since the kids are coming, I have to get the guest room put back together!! Ha! Right now there are many items still out and about in the room. I ordered a new light fixture for in there...but it hasn't come yet. Soooo...back to the old light I guess! Anyway, lots of stuff to do in there!!
I am right on the cusp of breaking the plateau!!! Hooray!!! It is about damn time!!
Got my teeth cleaned last week and they took some x-rays of a trouble spot on my gum. It is between my two back molars. Guess I am experiencing some bone loss...and the gum is soft. So I have to see a Periodontist!! Oh joy! I am not a fan of the dentist anyway and this is more than I want to hear for sure!! Of course, since it is a specialist...can't get in until April! Sigh! Fine by me! Ha!!
Well I guess I have randomly rambled on long enough...time to go! It is 2AM and I need a nap! Ha! Don't forget to stop by and visit Keely at The UnMom and see what she is up too! Not to mention the other Randomizers who are sharing their blogs with us!!
Have a magical and blessed day!! Hope this storm isn't as bad as they say it will be??!!
Hugging you
