New car! yippe!

Since I got in my car accident last month I was out of a car! I did get to drive a very nice 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee for almost four weeks. It was a very sad day to have to return that baby, but it is nice to have a car of my own again. Instead of going the SVU route again, we decided on a sedan this time. It did take me a little bit to get used to the car, but now I love it!

I am now part of the Camry crew!

finished terra cotta Christmas tree... finally

So I know I was supposed to put pics of the finished tree up LAST week...but I got distracted by Thanksgiving!

I think it turned out really cute and so easy! Here are the steps again:

1. spray paint three small Terra cotta pots any green (mine was a dark green to match my living room)
2. stack the largest pot on the bottom, then the middle size pot, and finally the smallest on top
3. paint red/burgundy "ornaments" on your tree
4. use a terra cotta saucer spray painted black as the tree skirt
5. put a star on top!

Enjoy the pics! Happy late Thanksgiving friends!

'tis the season!

I have noticed throughout the blog world on the cute Christmas and winter craft ideas! It has really put me in the mood for the season...forget Thanksgiving, I am ready for Christmas!

I am patting myself on the back for getting ALMOST all of my holiday shopping done! woohoo!

The next thing on my list is this adorable Christmas tree craft made out of mini terra cotta pots! It will look so great on my mantel. An added bonus is that I found some mini pots at a garage sale last weekend. SCORE! Vist House of Hepworths to get the directions to make one of these babies. I will post the picture of MY finished product tomorrow!

Nate and Allison's wedding

One couple from our Supper Club/Softball team got married today. Nate and Allison had a ceremony in a beautiful church with the reception close by in a golf course country club (very fancy!!!!). They had such good food, including a shrimp and grits bar. YUMMY!! Sadly, the boys could not watch the Carolina game which caused them to escape to the car. I did get a chance to participate in the Electric Slide though. Classic!

Mary and I with the beautiful bride!

Who knew I was a gymnastist?

Yesterday I was involved in a bad accident on the way to get lunch for me and the hubs. A woman tried to cross over two lanes and I happened to be driving straight in one of the lanes! My car flipped and glass was everywhere. I had to get TEN stitches... I about died from that alone! Here some of the pics.


yes that is my blood from the cut arm!




After all that mess I am resting in the bed!

Might the heat actually be leaving us?

With Fall quickly approaching tomorrow, I wanted to get myself in the mood with a autumn craft!!

I found the large pumpkin welcome sign at a pottery place at the beach for dirt cheap. I cut in down some and put it in a terra cotta pot I spray painted black. All I needed was some Dollar Tree floral grass and pumpkins to make it a new Fall favorite!


I am OBSESSED with it-my porch is not complete, but it's a great first piece for the new season!

Go SEC!

The picture may be blurry (it was BORROWED from facebook), but it shows the final score in the Carolina and Georgia football game today. The Gamecocks donimated the Dawgs with a final score of 17-6!!!



Matt and I were not about to pay $75 per ticket to sit in the 100 degree heat! We went to The Loose Cockaboose and watched the game with tons of other fans. We had a really great time. I am so glad it is finally football season again!!!!
