~Tired and Tagged~

I took these pics yesterday, on Tuesday's and Thursday's I take and pick up Samantha to go to preschool plus get Sydney off to the bus for 1st grade...after I took her to lunch at McDonald's and she played in their playland, I sit there and hold my breath while she is up in that tunnel thing:) Grammy is tired on Tuesday's and Thursday's.LOL When we got to preschool she asked "Did you bring your camera Grammy?" I had but almost forgot to take the pics:) They had to wear red that day, they love to see theirselves on my blog, I think that's why she asked about the camera:) After I got her in the door I went to GW, nothing to take a picture of really, I did find a container of artifical grass for $2.99 that I know sell for close to $20.00, another picture frame for .99 also I did find a grater for .99 not old but used so I put that up above the kitchen cabinets.
Yesterday after I got home I pulled weeds, no wonder I was so tired last night, and accidentally pulled out some marigolds, now I always love the look of flowers in an old jar and I think they look so pretty. The bread board I found at a yardsale for $1.00 and painted and distressed it. The wood bowl, I found 3 of them for a $3.00, I stained the inside and used red primer spray paint from the Dollar Store on the outside of it. I think Lisa from Black Sheep Primitives had said she used this in one of her posts...correct me if I'm wrong:) Love the barn red shade of it so I'll be using it quite often.


I've had these two spice tins for years and I keep them in the hoosier drawer so I don't forget to put them out, they are really the start of the holiday seasons for me, have been for years...Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, we are entering that time of year friends:)
I did this stitchery for my bedroom and finally found a frame for it and I'd love to paint the top pantry box black but I think I need to buy some satin paint first, as they have a different type of finish, my sister bought me these for Christmas one year and I always loved them but I want to update them from the 90's.

Sue from The Cotton Patch has tagged me, thanks Sue:), to name 6 random things about me, so here goes:
1. I used to work for a leading department store in cosmetics and fragrances, I loved it but once the grandchildren started coming I realized that my life wasn't my own with working in sales and was missing family functions.
2. I love to exercise...I have every DVD there is practically on exercising thanks to Chris, I even got Stush to buy me Fluidity, maybe you have seen this on the paid program channels. Don't get me wrong it still takes alot for me to get up and go down to the basement to do it!
3. I won't eat veal or lamb, just can't get it down past my throat, Stush loves both.
4. I hate to dust:)
5. The older I get the more I'm becoming my mother...which is not a bad thing:)
6. Love to wrap presents!
Now I have to pass this on to 6 ladies, this is great because we get to know a little more about each other:)
1. Tammy from Country Girl at Home
2. Gina from Cat Nap Inn Primitives
3. Linda from Behind My Red Door
4. Pam from Antique or Not
5. Kimberly from My Brown Bag Studio
6. Deanie from Deanie's Space
There done!!! These are fun but so hard to chose from all the great ladies out there in blogland:)
So many of you have commented on my door hanger in my header...I bought it at JoAnn Fabrics:)
I've also switched over to blogger approval...had too.
Have a great weekend!

  1. Hi, Rondell! Your granddaughter is a little doll! I love your old spice tins. I have a couple myself. Love the color of your bowl, too. I'll have to remember that color. Don't you just love spray paint? I know I do. Have a great day.

  8. Rondell,

    I always look forward to seeing pictures of your thrift finds and how you repurpose them and give them a face lift! I love the wooden bowl! I also love the tins! Did I tell you that I'm going to try doing a stitchery for the first time? I picked up the supplies the other day....we'll see how it goes! The only kind I've ever done was years ago...counted cross stitching.

    I enjoy pictures of your darling grandaughters too and I always think of how much Joy would love playing with them!

    Have a great weekend! Oh, and thanks for tagging me and I'll answer the questions this weekend!

    I wish I had your ambition to work out! Once I'm doing it, I'm fine...but getting myself to do it is the hard part. :(

  19. She's adorable! And I love your fall decorations...especially the spice tins. Never saw any like that; but then, not being much of a cook, I've never spent much time in the 'spice aisle', even when I was younger! Take care.

  22. Your granddaughter is just to cute!
    I bet they both love spending time with their Grammy. They will grow up with the most fondest moments with you that they and you will treasure :)

    I love all your finds and how you have them displayed. I just love your chair in the back ground...oh what the heck, I LOVE everything.

    I wish I could be so ambitious about exercising like you. I HATE to and really need to so my body does not stiffen up but I have to push myself to literally do it.

    You are one great person and grandma :)
