A New Family Member

Yes...we have a new family member! My nephew and his wife had their first child this week on St.Patty's Day. Welcome John to our family...we are all sooooo in love with you...you are one SPECIAL little boy and we are all looking forward to watching you grow up to a wonderful man...just like your father! My nephew Nick is like the son that I never had...I almost feel like I became a GiGi this week...but I didn't this time...but I will try to be a wonderful GREAT Aunt! I'm so looking forward to some babysitting time:)

I made a little gift basket to welcome John!

I used some rub-ons on this little cross with John's monogram...I'm lovin' how it turned out!

I'm Lovin' Giveaways!

I was the lucky WINNER of TWO decorating books...that's right TWO! That SWEET gal Kendall over at FINESSE YOUR NEST had a book giveaway and I won these two awesome books by Barbara K. I'm planning on taking them with me to our beach condo next weekend, so I can read them while I'm soaking up some sun and the beauty of our beautiful white sandy beaches! If you don't know Kendall, then please go by for a visit with her and tell her that LINDA from COASTAL CHARM sent you by.

Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays No.3

Hello ladies...it's time for NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS...yippee! Last Thursday Mr.CC had a meeting out of town and ask me if I wanted to go along with him...well you all know what that means...a day of thriftin' in a NEW city...sure honey I will go with you and help out with the driving (how sweet of me). I went straight to my computer and looked up all the thrift stores in Birmingham...printed a list and I was set to go! I'm not a morning person...so getting up at 3:30 a.m. to go check out some new thrift stores is a huge sign that I must be a thriftaholic! Hey...it could be a lot worse...thank goodness it's only thriftin'! With Marge (my GPS)...I made it to four stores and found some goodies that I'm sharing with you today. Don't forget to check back on Thursday to see who made the HIGHLIGHTS...it might be YOU!
