Studio 5 LIVE!!

 
I went to Studio 5 live!!
They only do it live yearly..so we were lucky to go!
More then the show I liked the two HIP ladies
I attended w/.
 
 
They gave us a swag bag! Enclosed were the things below!
 
 
Necklace in little wooden box.

 
We also saw this! Most often I have the most fun not attending
the actual event but most often my favorite part is a side note!
Next to KSL is this LOVELY!!
Built in 1857. If walls could talk huh? I would have loved to go into
our own little Downton Abby. More here

 
I found this super interesting too!! It is like
stepping back in time..but today!

 
 
Quotes from the show:
 
"The purpose of the task is
to strengthen the relationship!"
 
 


 
"Recognize the effort!!"




Happy Spring!
Love'n the jacket weather today!!!

This week is the city wide clean up.
There are big dumpsters placed in town

They guard those babies like they house
GOLD! It is insane!
The first night we got lucky! 
 
A cute vintage light fixture and a enamel ware
pot full of vintage plumbing!
 
 

 
A table base and a fire pit stand
and a basket full of cans of stain!!
We love free stain!! 
 



A bird cage stand! table top and a darling vintage DESK
and colander!
 

 
Also many cans of paint and stain!

Woman of Faith!!

 
 
 
I'll be the first to admit it! I have had this book checked out from
the library for over a month...maybe two! It isn't the kinda
book ya sit down and read in one long sitting.
It is one you take tiny bites of and think long and
hard about over a good long time.
 
I admire a strong woman! I admire women who can do hard things
and still get other things done. This book is fulla those women!
 
I think often we look back and think about pioneers as
lacking in deep thoughts and tough on muscle.
Neither is true. Most pioneers were from Europe
A lot worked in mills. Some were even rich and lived in
well kept homes and were waited on by "house help".
Many were educated and well read. Many had deep thoughts
and spiritual encounters that we could not comprehend.
Many left families and homes that they would NEVER see again.
Many came to America to worship freely only to be cast
out from MANY homes at gun point! Almost all woman lost MANY
children and were called on to carry on.
Life was hard but Faith endured!
 
This is an amazing book of hope and heartache.
Many of the stories are from life sketches written
by the women who's lives came before ours!
 
It's a powerful read! I suggest you read it!

Tiny Town!

 
 
 
 
 
My tiny miniature garden is in bloom!
Lovingly planted in a wooden drawer,
w/ mushroom already sprouting!
It's not perfect!
I used what I had, but my word it's cute and
so darn fun!! 

Fluffy!

 
Sometimes my hair gets SUPER fluffy!
I hate fluffy hair!
I feel like a Fraggle or a Muppet!
It's just not cute!
 
The below products have sent the fluff packing!
 
The Seven Miracle I got at Sally's!
The Bed Head-Dollar Cuts!
As well as the Big Sexy Hair hair spray!!
 
They make for a perfectly happy head!!
