Love friends who are fun and talented 

they are such a blessing

Cynthia Shaffer is an amazing Friend, Photographer, Teacher,

Artist, Crafter, Sewer, Stylist and Author

{many of you took her photography 101 class at our home}

Cynthia's newest book which she not only
 created all the crafts for
 she also wrote and beautifully photgraphed 

*Coastal Crafts*

Coastal Crafts is filled with fun  

 DIY crafts 

with easy to follow step by step instructions
 and gorgeous photographs 

These adorable driftwood sail boats

are one of my favorite projects in the book
how fun to capture the memories of
 a day at the beach finding driftwood and shells
and then making these adorable sail boats

If you look closely at many of the pictures in Coastal Crafts 

 you may recognize our home as the back drop

such as this perfect green patina side table 

that just pops off the page with color

Love these adorable kitchen towels 

{photgraphed in our kitchen}

White candle sticks embellished with twine and starfish

Cynthia hard at work
in our living room
 looking at the picture she photographed above
of the candle sticks

This is one of my favorite crafts in the book
these adorable pillows
dont they look great
sitting on the window seat in our kitchen
{love that she got the front gate in the pic too}

Thrilled to have been a small part of
 Coastal Crafts
 and for the opportunity to
have so much fun with such a talented and beautiful friend

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday

Today I heard on the radio that a local family is
 camping out tonight until Thursday night at midnight in front of a store with their children
so they are the first people in the door for
Black Friday
the Parents said they will have Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday
after they  have done all their shopping
Oh My!!!!!
 this is NOT what
*Christmas*
is about
?
I really thought it was a joke
 What?
Seriously?
Don't get me wrong I like a bargain but to miss Thanksgiving and camp out with your children
in front of a store

Wow
Maybe I am overreacting 
 What are you thoughts.....
Does this shock  you too?
For some reason this made me so sad

My sweet  handsome Husband brought home these white roses
I Love this man
He reminds me everyday how truly Blessed we are
Love is the best cure for sad

 ♥

So Grateful that we are Blessed by God with Family, friends and

{Love}

to share around the table this Thanksgiving

romantic saying for today
"I will always see you through the eyes of Love"
