From broken to decor

Good Monday to you:)

I feel refreshed now that I have seen the sun again!

A few months ago my glass pitcher's spout broke. I have been meaning to turn it into something else for a while now.

I filled it with shells and put the lights through the hole and plugged it in...

How fun is that?

On another note:

This was Mr. SSH yesterday barbecuing in the rain with my flower umbrella:)

Happy day!

I think my heart stopped:)

Good Wednesday to you:)

I hope you are well and not too pruny:(

It has been quite a rainy day!

We are having some refrigerator problems... Good thing I have Mr. SSH and the internet:) More on this tomorrow.

I am known at school for giving cool bark pencils for birthdays. I only have one more left. Today I went to TJ Maxx to buy more.... There were none to be found:(   I went next door to Home Goods because I have seen them there too. The bad news is I didn't find any..... My heart stopped when I found:

This ball of oyster shells:)

And this cool whale:)

This of course

Meant

Much rearranging:)

Which

I LOVE 

To do!

How

Was

Your

Day?

Happy Easter

Good Sunday to you:)

What a glorious morning God has given us:)

Our church offers services Saturday evening as well as Sunday mornings. Our family goes Saturday night. Our church has had bird cages hung in the sanctuary for a month. They represent being trapped in our sins before accepting Christ. For Easter they hung birds coming out of the cages all the way to the cross.

It is difficult to see but as the birds come out of their cages they are black representing sin.

As they get closer to the cross the whiter they become until at the cross they are pure white representing the forgiveness of our sins when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.  What a wonderful display of how Jeaus frees us when we come to Him:)

I pray you have a blessed day as you and your family celebrate Easter today!

A little of this and a little of that

Good Monday to you:)

It is another glorious day here in Portland!

While in line at the post office waiting to send money to the government:( ... I ran into a fellow blogger who was mailing out an Easter banner from Target. It was super cute! I surely needed to go to Target for something right?  😉

So off I went. The sad part of this story is they were out of that banner:( They did however have this one:

Isn't it

Cute?

I also had to run to Ross.

I found this Starbucks yummy for

$3.99 normally $8.00!

And...

It was YUMMY!

I hope your afternoon and evening are great:)

A good day for weeding

Good Sunday to you:)

It is a sunny 70 degrees today!

It is one of those days where you must be outside:)

A BBQ is a must. Good music playing. It was time in my yard to do a good cleaning after winter had its way.

It was in sad shape:(

I spent a good part of the day in the yard.

Getting better:)

A few weeks ago Mr. SSH and I went to a Sunday estate sale. Sundays are half price day. We got these four bags of rocks for a whopping $10!

Here 

Is

The

Yard

Now:)

Of course

Mr. SSH did mow:)

So much 

Better!

What did you do today?

~Dena:)

A cheap necklace holder

Good sunny Saturday to you:)

I have been going through my clothes and jewelry lately. I do love me some fun jewels:) The problem is it is really hard for me to find just the right necklace:(  On a recent trip to Goodwill I found this:

It was only $2.99.

Today at Paper Source I found this:

Such a fun pattern:)

I found these pins at TJ Maxx for $2.99.

Here it is with my pretties:)

I love it:)

I hope your evening is wonderful!

~Dena:)

Thank you Goodwill

Good Thursday to you.

I hope you absorbed much sun today:)

Goodwill was spectacular today!

Here is my cart:)

I stopped by New Season's for some plants.

I filled this .99 dish with:

Love

It:)

I found this cutie for .99:)

So fun:)

I put this 2.99$ plant in this.

You can decorate for super cheap!

Let me know how you spent your day:)
