Easter Blessings to All

Sunday's Comin'

Pantry Organizing

When we got home from vacation, I walked into my pantry and realized that it had become an unorganized mess! (Not from the teens left home, but my busyness!) I had lots of containers and baskets, but nothings seemed in order anymore. I also decided that the plastic containers I was using weren't the healthiest things. The more I read about plastic food storage, the less I like. Sometimes the food takes on the smell of the plastic. So, I decided glass would be in order. Of course I didn't realize at the time what glass jars would cost! Yikes! I guess it's not the glass jars as much as it is the fact that I have lots of things that need containers!

I put everything that went into containers on one side. The other shelves are still canned goods, etc, and I didn't take pics of those shelves. These show some of the plastic containers and baskets beforehand.





Love the look of the glass! Need a few more, but we're almost there!

Mom's Birthday

On Monday we celebrated my Mom's birthday. I invited her and four of her best friends for lunch. After I finally got rolling on Monday morning, it turned out to be a wonderful day! We had great food and great fellowship.




For favors we gave little eye masks with pedicure kits and massagers. They looked really cute on the table!

Family Room Makeover

Here are a couple of little pictures of our family room before. I forgot to take some right before we painted. Oops:) This is what I could find and crop from old photos. Not much:)











Our Sanbiel shells ~ our favorite getaway, so brought a little bit of it home.




I love my jars of sand from the beaches we visited in Florida this winter.






I'm looking for a new chair for this corner. I would like to find something upholstered, and so far no luck. So this little cabinet is there temporarily to fill the corner.
