WOW it has been such a long time.

Hello all, I know what your thinking. Where have you been.. At least i hope you were...I have been so busy since the storm hit in feb. WE are still trying to sell our home,and move on our ten acre property. We have bought a 16 by 80 mobile home to live in while we build our cabin. I will most def miss this house, but the trade off is wonderful. I know i am going to have fun shabbying up my mobile home.. Sweety says i have the talent(his permission) lol to do what i want as far as decorating goes. We bought a use mobile home, and it has blue carpet in it. We are tearing up the carpet in the living room and one bedroom. PUtting down some laminate flooring. I just don't know if i want to paint all white walls, or taupe walls.. I think i know what i want one day, then i am not sure the next.. I know none of you are that way... haha

I have actually went out thrifting , very little , but some... I got a few things wanted for my guest,crafting,computer room.. All this in a tiny 11 by 12 room. Yes I went over with my friend (Tape Measure) many times and we agree, what i want to put in the room , will fit....Some of my things will have to go in storage for a while.

I have some of my plants , planted at our property already, my hydrangias are doing so wonderful over there, they realy struggled here at this house. I have planted some climbing roses, azelias and my hydrangias.

Hope everyone is doing great and has a great summer. I will try to pop in more often, mabey with photos from time to time.. Just wanted to let everyone know i am still alive..

At Last

The painters are through and i have begun setting up my front porch again. I am so happy to be able to put my wicker back out and my rockers. I do not have much in the way of plants right now, but that will change soon. For now, i am happy just to be able to have a direction to go.

Author Details Life as a Sharecropper’s Daughter
LETONA , AR – Today’s world is completely different than it was when Lula White Poor was growing up as the daughter of a sharecropper in eastern Arkansas . She details her story in her new book releasing this month, titled “Sharecropper’s Daughter.”

Poor describes how she and her brothers lived in shacks provided by the landowners their daddy worked for each year. In the early 1930s and ’40s, the school calendar revolved around the harvest, and kids were trusted with responsibility and freedom at a young age.

This meant a lot of hard work and growing up fast, she says, but it also meant a whole lot of fun. They knew to make the most of what they had, and with it had a ball.

“When I started school, I learned that we were ‘poor’ by the standards of the ‘town kids..’ However, when I became an adult, I found that they were wrong. I had never been poor; I just had a different kind of riches,” the author writes.

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available at any bookstore nationwide or can be ordered through the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore or by visiting barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com or target.com.

My Easter Buggy, with two more makeovers

I have been seeing all the wonderful Easter Creations and finaly had time to do some creating myself. The two dolls are from the batch of dolls i had posted back some weeks ago. I gave these two a day at the dressmakers and they are ready for their Easter Parade.. I went out into the shop and put together a buggy for them to do their Easter Profiling in.. Of course i had to Paint the buggy PINK!!!!!!
The young lady out front is sporting green chiffon with pink roses and a very nice bonnett. The other young lady is weating HOt pink tulle and burgandy . and sporting a very Eastery bonnett. Just my way of saying Happy Spring, and Happy Easter.

Extreme Makeover

If you follow my blog, you have seen the Around the world dolls i found and posted about down below. Some of them were in Not so good shape.. I gave these two a makeover, one just a small on, the other one, extreme makeover. On the pink one, i just had to give her a new hat and i made her a matching purse or ridicule i think they called them in the victorian era. The Lady sporting black lace well i had to give her the extreme makeover as you will see in her before photo.. She was in pretty bad shape. No hope for her hair, so i covered it up. What do you think about my makeover abilities? Should i stick to my day job.. lol.. Oh wait, I don't have a day job.. But working here around the house is an All day job.. Any way enjoy..
