PICTURE OF THE DAY

(This picture was taken last year on vacation with my hubby.)

I wanted to use this picture today because there has been a lot of heartache these last two weeks for people I know and care for and it makes me realize how fragile life is. Cherish every moment and capture every memory.

God has three more beautiful angel's dancing with him today!

MY BABY'S 1ST RECITAL

Anybody who know's P (my daughter) know's she LOVES I mean LOVES to sing and dance.

This girl has been belting out tunes and shaking her "tiny hiny" since the day she was born.

Well baby girl it's your time to shine!!

She alway's tell's me mom I need to get ready for my concert tonite and gets all dolled up and

put's on shows for us but

today she actually gets to be in a real show and sooooo excited about it.

THE PICTURE OF THE DAY

My baby girls little outfit for her recital.

MY 1ST TOMATO

Well...here she is my 1st tomato BIG, bright and RED!!

(she's not that big she's just a little cherry tomato ha!)

look she's just waiting to be put in a salad

THE PICTURE OF THE DAY

I love these flowers because I planted them about 3 years ago and they keep coming back every year (even when your husband thinks they are weeds and cuts them down when he is doing yard work- but they do come back a week later.) Another reason I love this flower is even after a few day's in water and a pretty vase they still look great.

THE PICTURE OF THE DAY

This picture was taken when my dad and I were sitting on the porch of our cabin in Wimberley visiting my brother.

(keli, luv your pic's like I said great mind's think alike ha!)

KRAP IT'S RUSTED!

If you like antique's like me you run across a few rusted thing's. Well.....alot of rusted thing's actually.

So...here's what you can do to turn something dull, rough, & rusty to brighter, smooth & rusty!!!

1st: you need something rusty

2nd: sand paper fine & medium ( you can sand by hand or use electric sander)

3rd: water hose

4th: PLAID clear acrylic sealer matte in spray can

Okay this is what you do:

1st: sand the entire thing until it is smooth all over

2nd: rinse with hose until clean let dry

3rd: spray with acrylic all over let dry

What this does is smoothes the metal and seal's it so you can set it anywhere and not worry about it flaking and rubbing off as well as not cut a finger or two. The seal doesn't take away the old look it just gives the color's a richer look.

(my before pic didn't turn out so here is my after)
