Welcome to Mrs. Ralph’s

Posted on: Dec 19, 2014        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
From the moment you walk up the steps to Mrs. Ralph’s home, you get a clear impression of what awaits you inside. Her beautiful home has an off-set entry, and thus it has need for decorations on the walk and by the front door.   Be still my heart.  I love the large urns by […]

Mikel’s Christmas Decor

Posted on: Dec 17, 2014        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
Mikel is Number One Son’s sweet wife, and she is a woman after my own heart.  She loves to decorate for Christmas.  We stopped by  their home a few days ago, and I had to get Trusty Camera.  In the midst of practicing and singing in the church’s Carols’ presentation, she found time to display […]

Hanging the Wreath

Posted on: Dec 2, 2014        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
I just couldn’t do it.  I couldn’t hang my beautiful wreath that Super Sister made for me on the outside door.  That wreath is so special, and….  Bottom line – I didn’t want it outside. But where was I going to put it?  I wanted it someplace where I could see it and enjoy it.  The […]

Beautiful Christmas Wreath

Posted on: Nov 16, 2014        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
I am S0-0-0-0 excited.  In an earlier post, I mentioned my obsession with certain wreaths.  Super Sister came to my rescue.  I got an early birthday present today.  Super Sister (Who can make and do ANYTHING.) made me a Christmas wreath, and it is the most beautiful wreath ever.  Now, I can not wait for […]

Updating My Fall Wreath

Posted on: Nov 12, 2014        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
I am not crafty.  It is the truth.  I will try almost any recipe, but trying to paint, scrapbook, make a bow, or do almost any other craft project can put me in a dither.  While sitting in a craft class, I have been known to hyperventilate, break out in a sweat, feel light headed, and wish […]

Ben Franklin – Stephenville, Texas

Posted on: Oct 9, 2013        In: Out and About        With: No comments
Do you remember the Ben Franklin stores?  Back when, they were a type of five and dime variety store.  Then some of them changed, and many of them closed.  If my memory is correct, Michael’s (MJ Designs) began as a Ben Franklin store.  This said – There is still a Ben Franklin Store in Stephenville, […]

Portals to the Season

In the last couple of days, Super Sister and Mikel (Number One Son’s wife) have created impressive (That is an understatement.) Christmas decor for their front doors.  I have to share their creations with you.  Perhaps you will be inspired, and make something remarkable for your front portal. Mikel created this mesh Christmas wreath.  My, […]

Super Sister’s Porch

A visit to Super Sister’s home is always wonderful.  I am here to tell you that it is better than going to a bed and breakfast. Be still my heart!  This is what I saw when I drove into her driveway. If you want to be inspired by fall decor, this is the place to […]

Halloween Wreaths

Posted on: Oct 2, 2012        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
I am sure most of you already know – I am not a crafty person.  Much as I would like to be crafty – It never seems to work.  The Buds (friends) still remind me that I could not even put baby’s breath into arrangements for Number One Son’s rehearsal dinner centerpieces.  You just had […]
