Alabama Crimson Tide Does it Again!

But just barely!

Roll Tide Roll!!!!

It's a PINK Clip Board!

Good Morning everyone! Happy PINK Saturday! Thank you Beverly for hosting another beautiful PINK Day!

This is a craft I did a few years ago. I have made several of these over the years. I love them. Who likes to walk around with an ugly old brown clipboard? Next week, I will post a tutorial on them. Or this particular style. Oh, and there is a pencil cup to boot! And it is PINK!

This is a 'cull' photo of my child. I have several beautiful photos from this shoot. I could not bear to throw it away. But I could Mod Podge.... And it did not go to waste.

The Clip Board has it's own Fru Fru!

I just love the pencil/pen cup. My mom and grandma had us making them all the time as kids, but, they never looked this cool or this PINK!

Oh that black ribbon and the black poka dots make the PINK really POP!!!

A nice gift set for a teacher, grandparent, parent or for yourself!

And this is really PINK!!!

Check back with me next week. I will post a tutorial on Beautifying your own clipboard and making a matching pencil cup. But meanwhile, stop by Beverly's place. She is hosting a wonderful fun PINK Saturday Party at How Sweet the Sound and see all the other PINK
Happy PINK Saturday! Saturday posts!

Nick Saban Arrested!!!!!

I need to preface that this is a joke. LOL! I forget that not everyone is from Alabama and understand how folks live and die collage football around here.

Nick Saban is the former Miami Dolphins Head Coach and was hired by the University of AL to turn their losing team back into the winning champions of the glory days of the late Paul "Bear" Bryant. Alabama beat the GA Bulldogs last weekend for the first time since 1992.

Of late, Alabama fans have been beside themselves. And this is bleeding over to the other side as I got this in an email from an Auburn fan.........

Subject: AP-Tuscaloosa - Nick Saban Arrested!

AP-Tuscaloosa - Authorities arrested Alabama head coach Nick Saban in the predawn hours Monday at his home in Tuscaloosa on animal cruelty charges. Saban, 56, was charged with 85 counts of animal cruelty in an alleged attack which occurred Saturday night in Athens, Georgia. Police said that as many as 92,138 witnesses saw Saban and a large group of violent young men under his control hit, kick, crush and destroy a large pack of mostly-docile bulldogs.

One officer was quoted as saying, "I haven't seen bulldogs treated this badly since the Michael Vick case."


ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

More Fall Decorating

Looking for plate hangers, decorative ones, I went to Home Goods and guess what, they were selling the turkey plates separately today! I bought one!

I placed it over the bay window with some other plates. I had to take one of the plates that stays up there all the time, down. When I find a plate hanger, of any kind, I might hang the turkey plate somewhere else in my kitchen. But for now, I will keep it here, but I think it looks lost.

Here is my sideboard in the dinning room. It is a little out of balance. I took the buffet lamps off. I have had them nearly 16 years. Decided to move them to the guest room. I could not find another set of buffet lamps that I like, then I thought, "why do I have to have a set? Why can't I use what I already have?" I have to adjust looking at it though. I think I will make some changes when I do the dinning table. Then everything will be in balance. :-D

I have not idea how old this turkey is. I remember picking him up on a clearance rack some time before DD was born. He has some parts missing. I had to re glue his nose back on. But I like him and he is cute. The tray you will find in one of my older posts. I found it at a thrift store 2.48 cents. Metal based silver plate. Stamped, but has a couple of rust spots. I may spray paint it sometime in the future.

But for now, looks great hosting the turkey and the gourds from Ross and the $$$ store. :D

One of the cloches made this weekend filled to the brim with gourds from Ross'.

A crystal biscuit jar filled with $$$ gourds. I like it and the way the color stands out.

A lamp that was my DH's mother's. It is beautiful. Missing about 5 prisms. I know where to find some. I do need to check prices though. I tucked some books underneath to give it height. Worried about then read Penny's article about decorating with books. :-) Realized I did a 'good thing'! I do need to find one more book to give it a tad more height.

This little cermic pumpkin came from the $$$ store. Pretty!

Playing with my Blog

I have been playing with some of my photos and made a banner for my daily blog. I think it is fallish.

Mabry Mill is the most photographed gristmills in the Eastern US. Located near mile marker .... 82(? someone correct me if I am wrong) on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
