Blackberry Fields

I am headed over this morning to pick the last of the hybrid blackberries from my mother-in-laws bush. We made black berry preserves about three weeks ago and so I'm going to make cobbler this morning. We went to Ray's IGA last night in Columbia, AL  and got our necessary ingredients with the main staple of Breyer's Vanilla ice cream. Which brings me to another topic; I love, love, love all the exoctic flavors of ice cream and i spend several minutes when I finally make  my mind up to splurge in the moment to buy, I look and try to decide what it is I really want to spend my calories on. Billy (husband) ususally always chooses VANILLA! Or if we're really splurging he has a Vanilla Milkshake or sometimes he may go out on a limb and get a chocolate milkshake..Anyway, that's the way he's wired but I truly love all of the different new flavors. Some I like are birthday cake by Blue Bell and then of course cookies and cream (a favorite)....Strawberry cheesecake is good but I usually gravitate to a flavor with chocolate in the title or in the description...Gotta Go and pick! pick! pick!

The Finished Product

Blessings!

Art anyone?

New day

The temperature in south Georgia is already tipping the 90's at 10 am this morning. I am headed out to The Bus Station, our retail store in Colquitt to set us up a new blog page so that we can bring to you unique items and tips for deorating. We are somewhat on a different wave as your typical, everyday "gift store" so hopefully through our new blogging page, we will be able to convey the message to the "Blog World". It's all about the journey, right? A few photo's to get you aquainted to
Our World at The Bus Station....

New Beginning

Parent's with Teenagers Prayer and Anniversary Blessing



The Hunter's Prayer.....First of Many



Okay, I'm prepared to do better. My blogs have been few and far between but I am promising myself after a class last night on blogging, to kick it up a notch..So here goes...I continue to create art...I will post a few pictures to show some things that I have done lately. My biggest thrust lately have been my blessings and prayers that I started writing back in 2007. I pick them up and put them down but now have been decoupaging them on wood which makes for a nice change. All different themes..The first I ever wrote was the Hunter's Prayer when Billy was leaving to go Quail Hunting. Then more followed depending on what was going on around me and even friends would request a prayer, say for their parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary or one of my favorites is "For Parent's with Teenagers Prayer." My girls are now out of the house which makes us empty nesters but they still are within a cell phone's reach. Back to the prayers, I enjoy writing them and then love to add my artwork to add personality. Someone once advise me to create the artwork so that when the customer sees the art, they will want to read the words on the page.
So I'll continue to blog and continue to create, not necessarily in that order.
Blessings and Peace!
