Tuesdays with a Twist - Last one for February? Wow!

Our news this week...  Well, our first week back from a lovely vacation in Alabama was crazy busy!  Demands from work (besides blogging) were through the roof.  This weekend, the youngest two grand daughters stayed with us and we had a great time, watching the new Peter Rabbit movie and then attending a birthday party for the cutest Wild Thing ever.  'Exciting times!  Here are some photos from the party.  Didn't they do a great job with the decorations?!  Last year we hosted this little guy's baby shower at our house. 

They made him King of all the Wild Things

I am so glad you are here to party today!  There is no limit on links as long as they are family friendly including giveaways, Etsy shops and other link parties.  Please remember to visit some fellow party animals and leave positive comments!

Cubicle Sweet Cubicle - De stash Challenge Blog Hop


There are days we spend more time in our cubicles than we spend in our homes, right?



After sewing a MUG RUG for my daughter in vibrant colors, she asked if I could create something to hang on her cubicle walls.

You're the Star Blog Hop {February} and a Giveaway

Y'all know how much I love books, and even though I check our library before making a purchase, my shelves are overflowing, so I would like to find good homes for some of them.  These two are lovely and have been read only by me.  Please see giveaway info below, if you are interested in receiving one of my precious books.  

Oh, gee!  Did I just sound like Gollum?

jeulia Valentine's Day Engagement Rings Sale 2018

Disclosure:  This is a sponsored post by jeulia.  All opinions are mine.


Handsome Husband and I were wed way back in 1986 (before the internet gasp!).  We visited a local jewelry store together and chose our set, two wedding bands and a solitaire engagement ring.  On one of our milestone anniversaries, he purchased a larger one for me.  Sadly, both have been stolen.  I was thrilled when an email for jewelry landed in my inbox!  Are you familiar with  jeulia ?  This company offers a wide selection of designs and is surprisingly affordable!  You should see me cruising their website!
