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 hated this look. Yes, there is dust...


On to fall fakies... I really like color! It's still 90 something degrees out, my flimsy excuse?


The chickadees really like this one. It looks pretty when its lit.



The corn is REAL!


Now on to the outside! Okay, lets remember that fall doesn't start here until December. No kidding! The humidity does go down a bit and we have evenings in the 60's in November. So we are faking it until the season makes it.

The front porch

My fake pumpkin. I repainted it this year. If this was real it would be GROSS in a couple of days. Yucko!

Yup. More Fakies.

I know REALLY tacky. I'm looking for some type of candle holder that has more of a presence.

So I would like to say that I'm a P.O.O.P.I.E. but I think I have a ways to go!

I wish I new how to do a go here type of thing. I mistreated my laundry room curtains!!

REAL corn? After all of those fakes the one thing real is the corn! That is so funny!

Yours could pass for a northern house ready to welcome in the sweet crisp cool air of autumn. Oh how I wish we had that here, before the 2 days we get in December. Thanks for the visual imagery!

Oh I love all the fall decor! I wanted to get me some of the corn stuff...I can't find the real thing, so I guess I'll be fake! *smiles*

Oh How nice...I can empathize with the whole Fall decor having no oomph to it, since it is still warm here, too! I am gathering it, but NOT feeling it at all!

Thanks for the laugh I got when I read the caption for the FP arrangement, when you stated it looked great when lit...I must be reading too many POOPIE blogs, cuz I thought you meant when the arrangement was lit...literally! LOL! Maybe I need to "rest" awhile!

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 ...
