Happy Thanksgiving from the USCG

My daughter is underway somewhere near South America...they sent out this wonderful pic and I wanted to share....

Necklace Holder DYI

So, my daughter has tons of necklaces that of course get all tangled up. We just finished redoing her bedroom in a lot of OLD furniture...I had this little "door" with no glass in it...I sanded it down, painted the tarnished hinges and handle with copper paint, put the little hook hangers on and thus, she now has a necklace hanger and her necklaces won't get tangled up....

What is Christmas?

It depends on who you ask. For me, it's become a holiday that I do not get excited about anymore and I wish I did. I have a fake tree(thanks to my husband)that I detest and refuse to put up this year. My house is a complete wreck and I do not see any hope of getting it finished by Christmas with the "remodeling" projects I have going on, thus....I need help. Help with getting the spirit back within me. Any suggestions my blogger friends?

The Wild Violet

A lot of people say the wild violet is a weed. How dare they? They are my favorite flower of all time, however I love all flowers, greenery of all kind, etc. Nature's Garden. Right now, if you look closely, you will find a stray beauty blooming here and there...they are spreading their seeds again. I ordered some pink wild violets but didn't have any luck with them. I do have several different kinds that bloom each year. I not only make pictures of them, I put them in salads, I have made violet sherbet. They are an herb and actually good for you. So, please don't mow those beauties down....let them bloom and prosper...
