Giving Thanks for Friends

I have a special friend that makes me feel like this...

so I decided that Thanksgiving was a great opportunity to tell her how blessed I am to have her for a friend.

So tomorrow I will be delivering her a little basket that lets her know I am very Thankful for her.

I have surprised myself that I can join Kimba's DIY Day. Head on over and see a multitude of wonderful ideas! Have a blessed Thanksgiving! Jackie

It's A Flag Project for the 4th !

Stella and I hope everyone has had an absolutely wonderful 4th!

My sweet husband is on night shift tonight, but took time out to help me finish this little project. I had seen Jen's flag here, and she was so kind to send me the dimensions last year. I was determined that even if this was my entertainment for today I would complete it, today, and here it is!

And yes, I know the stars are not completely straight. Being a little obsessive it bothered me for a little while, but I am happy with my completed project. And yes, I did get all 50 stars on there!

It is made out of yardsticks, and one square of wood for the stars. I was planning on distressing it with some stain, but when I used the sander, that was all it needed. I used a red primer on the yardsticks which gave it the distressed look that I was going for. Now I have a wonderful piece of decor for the 4th, or Memorial Day. I will probably leave mine up through August, so I can continue to enjoy it. Again hope you had a safe and Happy 4th!

To Those Who Have Served........

.....and to those who are still serving our country.

We Thank You!

FABULOUS FLAG-FLYING FOURTH!

Yesterday I was thinking about what to post, since the ottoman project is going a little slower than expected, and I wandered upon Kari and Kijsa's fabulous flag flying fourth party and decided to join in.

The Lord also brought a verse to mind as I was thinking about our nation's birthday.It is my hope this will be our desire.

"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14

Have a blessed and safe 4th!
