I have a couple of minutes before the ibrary shuts down the internet so I am typing fast–forgive typos–hee hee no time to check for errors.

Oh I found a fabulous headboard and footboard at Goodwill for $3 today–I need you to send me all kinds of great bench ideas so I can decide on how to make my new bench project.

We are leaving to take 3 kids to the hospital, 1 is finally on the mend.
Still checking ticket prices since they are 5 times the price we paid–YIKES

A quick note–if your family gets sick during this season be sure and pour boiling water over the toothbrushes after each use to kill the bugs.

MY FAVS

starshine chic–so cute, not just your decor–you too

Recipes are wonderful right now since my recipe book is back in Florida–heehee

PEACH Cobbler muffins-can I die now…mmmmm

My friend Cathy and I have made tons of benches. There are so many ways to do them. If you go to my blog and click on the label "headboard" you will see what we've done. I still have about 6 more to post at a later date. 🙂
