Just a quick update! The storm is wobbling and at this point will come ashore just before the Tampa Bay Area.....but as we all know that can change by the next update! Our power goes out frequently with any windy storm, but Praise the Lord! At this point it doesn't look like it will come up the bay which could/would be devastating for our communities.

Now why I'm really back on! I like when bloggy friends comment! Thank you! I get too excited...... Here is the what Nestor thought was purple polka dots on green walls. My camera has run out of batteries! So I guess I won't show my headboard and bedroom drapes made out of blue and light coffee colored table clothes...... I need to budget in batteries this month!

This room was/ still is the Lady Bug Princess Room. There are 4 big Ladies around the room and there used to be a gauzy canopy with purple tulle and crystals hanging from it when one of the older chicks had it. The new occupants prefer shabby so the Ladies will be leaving if the house doesn't sell.......
Thanks for the comments!
Hurricane Par-tay?
No! A mistreatment party at Nestor's Place! Truth be known I'm getting ready for the storm...but I thought I would take really quick moment to throw up some pics. Okay, don't actually get a tummy ache when you see them. They are not me best work and my computer is having some serious problems! These are before I knew it was okay not to do it the "proper way". They are all lined. Even my long ones in other rooms are. I'll not be doing that again! I did, however use spray paint and necklaces! That has to count for something????

Here's a bit of the schoolroom.

Here's the kitchen. I used spray paint for the clippys. The walls are actually cream and the color of the treatment is waayy off! It's got green, cream, red and blue in it.


Here's the little chicks room. I made hooky- do's out of necklaces.

So that's it. All dollar fabric and clearance rods.

I gotta go gas up and re- arrange the deep freeze in case the powers out over the next couple of days. Seriously, if you live on the Gulf Coast, be prepared! I hate doing it, but I've been in areas hardest hit after a storm and it's horrific! So get some water and non- perishables, clean your bath tubs, get your flash lights, and all your in important papers. Seek a shelter if your in doubt about your own homes safety. Just be prepared as much as you can be. But don't FREAK OUT! The Lord knows what each of His children needs.

The chicks were thinking they might not have school.....oh the treachery of homeschool. Never a break! HAHA!

Check out the Blinky Button on the side for more of Nestor's Par- tay!

Such a cute blog. My three daughters are grown up and giving us the cutest granddaughters now. Hope all goes well with that crazy weather you're having! Mimi Sue

I think you definitely qualify by using necklaces! I adore the ladybug room. Good luck with Fay - she looks meaner than that French hurricane Edouardo that was so wimpy and didn't bring us a DROP of rain here in Austin! I've actually been through a category 5 - Beulah years ago. So as the weatherman says - hunker down! Stay safe. Hugs, Nancy

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...

Frugal Friday

Time again to remember creativity and frugality! I really enjoy www.biblicalwomanhood.com where today it is Frugal Friday. Two needs we had were new nighties and bicycle baskets. We've been riding like crazy and I was tired of old t-shirts for jammies. It's hard and expensive to find nice, cute nighties for 5 different age groups! So we headed to a local thrift shop and bought sheets. Now if this thought grosses you out, just think "Vintage"! Everything was washed and dried in the dryer. Each sheet cost about $3.00. I was able to get 3 nighties in children sizes out of one and 2 in adult sizes out of another. I wish I could show more pics, but thought it was best not to of my older chicks. Needles to say they have become every one's favorites and today I need to make more! The cost of each nightie was about $1.50! I figured in my pattern and lace I also found. Isn't she a cutie! I'm not sure how to turn this but I also made house coats for each girl. This ...
