I Have A Winner!

Today is the BIG day...time for the WINNER of my GIVEAWAY to be announced and she is lucky number 55...Sherry@No Minimalist Here, you have WON this cute PERSONALIZED FRIENDSHIP VASE...congrats to Sherry! I would like to thank everyone who took part in the giveaway...I will be having another one very soon...so be on lookout for it!

I'm Not A Fan Of Garden Gloves

Yes...that's right, I would rather go without gloves while working in the yard planting all my flowers...I guess I like playing in the DIRT! Most women my age are all concern about their nails...not me...I have never been big on the nail thing...it's just not for me...so when I work in my flower beds, you will find me without those pretty gloves (I have some...I just don't wear them). So on with the post...I have been a planting FOOL for the last two weeks...I have lost count on how many new plants and trees I have planted...I always buy way too many...I just can't stop myself...I want all of them! I hope I have passed on the passion for gardening to my two daughters...my mom passed it on to me and I'm hoping it continues on. Hope you all have a beautiful day!












I'm linking up to the following parties!

Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays No.8

The past four days have been very busy…I have been out of town and I’m still not back home yet. I’m so sorry that I didn’t get by to all of you at last weeks party, but I was busy planning and packing for my trip. I will be sure to check in with all of you this week to see what you have found while out thriftin! While I was in Atlanta I did manage to stop in a GOODWILL store and stop by a GARAGE SALE…I only found a couple of things and I will share them with you next week. I have been very busy working in my yard planting lots of new plants…this is one of my favorite hobbies…bad thing is that I only have a couple of pics of them to share with you at this weeks party….more to come later in the week.

I found this planter at Garden Ridge last Fall at 90% off…got the flowers at our local Flea Market…paid $8.00 for all three of them!

Luv the bright PINK!


This urn was found at a garage sale for only $3.00…luv how it looks on one of my “chippy paint” tables in the screen porch!

I’m having a GIVEAWAY that you don’t want to miss out on…so go here to enter!

Sports...Spring Formal...Beach...etc.

We left our house early Thursday morning going to Atlanta to buy a new car for Mr.CC and after two days looking at cars...we FINALLY made a purchase late Friday afternoon! This was not the beginning of our search for a car...we have been looking for about three weeks and believe me...it has been a ordeal...Mr.CC hates buying cars and after this search...I hope it's a long time before we buy another one! Next stop was Turner Field to catch a BRAVES game with our daughter and her boyfriend.I have not been to a Braves game since she was in the fifth grade...boy... time sure does FLY! Great game...the Braves won 11-4 and the weather was just perfect for a FUN night at the BALLPARK!

Saturday morning we left the hotel and headed over to AUBURN to watch our TIGERS play their Spring A-Day game...yes...we even LOVE AUBURN FOOTBALL in the SPRING! Well I can say that I have not been to a A-DAY game since I was a student there...now that was a loooooong time ago! It was a lot of fun watching our team play and spending time with our AUBURN FAMILY...all 63,200 of them:) Before the game we went to the tailgate that Mary Claire's sorority had for the parents. It sure was nice having the girls do all the work and all we had to do was to show up...they did an awesome job!

Late afternoon was spent playing photographers for Mary Claire and her sorority sisters...they still need us...ha ha! They had thier Spring Formal last night in Atlanta at the World of Coke...this was the first time that they had rented the building to a sorority for a dance...I sure hope our group didn't make it the last time a sorority had a chance to use this FUN place for a night of dancing!

We arrived late last night at our condo for two days of relaxing at the BEACH! I think we both really need this after that loooong car search. Hope you are all having a FUN Spring weekend!
