Valentine "stuff"

Happy Valentine's Day. I know I am a day late but I was in horrible pain yesterday from my car accident (in December) that i couldn't sit here and blog. So here are a few picture......well........ a lot of pictures of my house with Valentine's day decorations. I LOVE Valentine decorations, not so hip on Valentines's day but LOVE to decorate for it. Again blog not working so well so this is not a Valentine decoration but a GREAT bargain at a thrift store here for $3.00.......she's so sweet huh.....the ladies at the store didn't know where I got her,they wanted her, but I did leave her brother there which everytime I look at this picture I kick myself for leaving him there......

And well, another picture of NOT Valentine decorations just the top of my armoire in my living room. I just love this thing. My first big purchase for this house was the rabbit weathervane. Rich was mad that I bought this because it was VERY expensive but.....I had to have it and look how cute she looks with her new bling around her neck. He was so mad that i bought this that he wouldn't even help me put her together.....thats Ok I managed and guess what everytime he watches TV she is there watching him!!! LOL

Ok, one more "plain picture" I just re-did the top of these shelves in my living room because.......of the awesome family pictures we just had taken. I finally got out my old vintage cameras to set out and I really like this.(this is the opposite wall of my armoire)

Now, here we go as you enter my home this is a wreath I made for my front door. I am having such a hard time decorting my door, now that Rich painted it red. But I made this work!!! It is a book pages. I punched out squares and stabbed them into the styrofoam wreath. opps... after I punched out the square book pages I inked the sides with red ink. Isn't she lovely....;)

This a niche I have and like to change this up a little every once in a while.

These are two pillows I made from Target after Christmas sale. They are napkins. And the little pillow is a pillow I won off a blog last year.

And just a little "love" here......notice my milk glass collection......thats true LOVE......

Notice any new pieces from the last time I have shown this.......(wink)

My cute love bird salt and pepper shakers. I bought those pots years ago from Target after Valentine's Day for $1.25 and I kept forgetting to use them, so this year I finally did.

Some more love and a different picture of my book "thing" I made.

Oh and this cutie pa tuttie!!!! I fell in LOVE with this heart topiary!!!! I liked it so much I went and bought another one so when this one gets dirty or dusty or when a child of mine breaks it I have back up!!! LOL

Remember this $5.00 table. This is how I decorated it for Valentine's day.So sorry the lighting was bad in this....

A little pink & silver to go on my $5.00 fireplace!!! My girlfriend won't believe this!!! She knows I am NOT a pink girl.

OK, one more "thing" I just HAD to have!!!! Don't you just LOVE it!!! It is a white feather tree. It was pretty expensive and Rich rolled his eyes when I showed him I HAD to have this but just think....I can use it for Christmas,Valentine's Day, Easter or whenever. I wanted to buy another one of these too but I was pushing it just buying this one (wink) LOL

Here is a little project I did for the Primary teachers at church. They are candy canes I made into suckers. I think the teachers liked them and my kids thought they were pretty great. But again the order of the picture is wrong. I just can not seem to understand what has happened to my blog. I got this ideas from another blogger.

Finished sucker packaged.

cooling..................

getting ready to go in the oven.........

just before going into the oven......and they were fruit flavored.

Don't forget next year when these are 75% off at Target ,buy them and just wait till Valentine's day and make cute little treats!!!!

OK, that is it for Valentine pictures. I am going to be so sad taking them down. I love to see all the extra red in my house it makes me happy. But, now it is time for some spring/Easter decorations!!!!

Man, I LOVE to decorate my home!!!!

I hope is well with everyone.

Much love, Sherrie

Just about me....

Well where to start. Here is a picture i took that I really like until I looked at it again and I saw my reflection in this dish....hmmmm
this is a little bargain I found at a little thrift shop here in town.



So, I needed to get away for a few days( 4 to be exact). So where else do I go but Vegas to stay with my brother. I just want to thank him and his family for taking me in, on such short notice and with a busy work week and just taking good care of me and making me laugh.
You have the best family!!! I really need it the time away Thank you........

Here is my little neice and nephew with some popcorn from their mom when she got home from work. I KNOW she wasn't expecting THAT!!! So thanks for the laugh!!!


Here is Mr. Liam wanting to know if I wanted some too......

Ok so Kennedi is so hard to take pictures of so Bridget said to give me a kissy face.....

Well. Liam is even harder to take a picture of so my brother asked Liam where my eye was,

yup, he's pointing at it. LOL

Ahhh, and little Miss Lainie. She is such a great baby. She's too cute huh?

Here is a little something I made before I left. Do you like it? It is a book I folded all the pages in half and put a finial on top and added a few embellishments a WALA a new decoration for my home!!!

See what was waiting for me when I got home. My very favorite flowers!!!!

I want to thank my friends for being concerned for me while I was gone. I'm alright and working on me. .....

Well,as you can see the pictures are not in the correct order and I wish I could figure out what has happened since having my computer worked on but at least my computer is working!!!

Much love,

Sherrie

OK, I have been trying for a while now to blog but my blog is acting kind of funny (I know, we all know its me) so this is going to be a weird post ,so sorry, please be patient.....

This is Ellie's Christmas present from Santa. Horseback riding lessons. And you can tell from the pictures she was extremely happy!!!


After all her emergencys around here, my family wasn't too happy about her riding but thats my girl!!!!

And Miss Ellie got a zebra print shirt......wooo hooo

Rich first thing Christmas morning TRYING to open a Barbie box....

Ahh....Lane has wanted his very own animal towel well he finally got one!!! It is a monster....fitting huh???

Oh and Rich got me a Orange Peel gift card and they put it in one the cups that they actually serve drinks in I HAD to take a picture with my new lense I got for Christmas (Lensbaby,check them out)

Lisa with an Aeropostale sweatshirt. man this girl is happy with ANYTHING from this store.

And once again Alan got skinny jeans.

Here is where I couldn't post this correctly......I wanted to show this first but......

this is the kids making out their list for Christmas....

I happened to have a few Target booklets and I thought I would let them circle a "couple" of things they wanted well..........who do you think wanted EVERYTHING in the book

you know who I am talking about................no other than Lane ;)










Look how serious he is as he circles EVERYTHING

Alan had to re-write his a few times.....

Oh and Rich..........using his phone to add up everything.........at least he has a smile on his face. Usually this time of year there is NO smile on his face!!!! LOL

Ellie was thrilled with just about anything to do with horses!!!










I got my computer back and running. Well, not me but a great man from church!!! So I am still trying to tweak a few things so I am going to try and see what I can do to fix my blog.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year!!!

Much Love, Sherrie

Computer issues...

I will be back in a day or two. I had a bunches of virusus and other stuff wrong so I will be back.
I have to redownload software to get it up and running smoothly once again. But if you know me and computer "stuff" this is going to be painful......

much love,
Sherrie

See anything different....

Yup, I'm back and look at these great pictures!!!

We had some fsamily pictures taken and it was pretty fun. I was so excited to have these pictures I didn't have any with all of us.

I am not sure where to start with what we have been up to. Sooo......here we go.

We had a friend of Rich's, well and I's friend come down and they wanted to see the leaves changing so we drove them up to Yankee meadow look at this....

You don't see this in Las Vegas!!!

Alan is done with football so his week days are free.

The girls are doing GREAT in piano. Lisa memorized Cannon in D in 2 weeks and plays it fabulous!!!

This as a play day we took and went riding.

Check out Rich on this hill.

Here is Lane riding the motorcycle. He really likes the 4-wheeler but its time for him to move up so Rich was taking him for a ride too cute huh??

Andy, get kennedi ready to get Lane's 4-wheeler!!!

I love this one. Alan was watching Rich with some of his mad riding skills................LOL LOL

Here are a few shots of Alan and Rich's hunting trip. It wasn't too successful. They both got Elk tags and the day we went up Rich didn't know it was opening day for deer season.......so you can just imagine what it was like.....the poor boys. I think they are going back in a couple of weeks...

Lane with a couple of treasures and wearing Alan's old hunting boots.

Lisa coming back from taking a lap for being a little stinker....

On the last day we took a day trip and what great scenery!!! Until I tipped the Rhino.....I was DONE for the day!!!!

I have a chair I just finished but I can't find the before picture so I will post that next time.

I hope all is well with everyone.

Miss Ellie with LOTS of homework and well, Lane..... We just had professional pictures taken, I can't wait to show them off!!!
