If you followed my old blog, you already saw this, but since I am having so much fun over here, I thought I'd give this Finished Object Friday stuff a try. I made these little sundae's for all the mother's in our church and a few extra for some other special moms I know. They are super easy, and since I was super busy this year, super easy was exactly what the doctor ordered! And no...the idea was not original. You might have seen them. They are all over the internet. I started with a sundae cup from Dollar Tree and poured in some pink strawberry bath salts. Add to that a 'foamy' mixture of epsom salts and baking soda and a white bath scrubbie for whipped cream. You can get the bath salts just about anywhere and the scrubbies are 2 for a $1 at Dollar Tree. The hardest part for me was finding a 'cherry' (I didn't think soon enough to get them ordered). Finally, I ended up settling for a pink cherry. Guess it doesn't look TOO bad. I tossed a few of the pink bath salts on top for sprinkles and stuck in a straw to make it look more 'authentic!' You could get really creative with these and do them in the clear starbucks cups with brown salts...just like a macchiato. Hubby (bless his heart) kindly designed the little cards for attaching to the side.
Here is my little wanna-be farmgirl visiting her friend Lisa on her little farm in Greenleaf, Idaho! The little filly in the picture was just a matter of hours old and Kammy was absolutely THRILLED to be her first visitor! Kammy still has plans to run a dude ranch or farm when she grows up! She came home telling me all about how Lisa also has pigs that stink, a donkey that doesn't look like a donkey and half a barn for the chickens!
.......and by old, I don't mean old in years, I mean old like I have known them like
f.o.r.e.v.e.r! I think I have only seen Norma maybe two other times in my whole life, but she and Jack have
ALWAYS been a part of my life! Growing up, I don't think she ever missed a birthday. Graduation came and she remembered. Wedding day...a gift was there. She sends my children e-cards on their birthdays and when they met for the first time last Saturday...she knew all their names and ages! She's amazing! Not only that, but all these years, I know she has been praying for me! It was so fun having them in our home for breakfast! We all say, "Please come again soon!"
I hate change really, I do! I have been at webs.com for nearly 4 years, I am used to it and I love it. Mostly. There is just this one little problem. They have such limited space, that I am always and forever having to delete. I am tired of deleting and am attempting to simplify things as well. So... I am giving blogger a try. Welcome me please. (Smile.)
Oh! The power of pink! I had a lovely Mother's Day! I am one blessed mommy!
My girls gave me some beautiful flowers, but the very best gifts are the ones God himself has given me...my lovely daughters! Another special gift is my very own momma...she is the B.E.S.T. and I treasure every year with her! I got to be with my sis-in-law today as well. She may be a sweet thing...but she sure is camera shy!
