Computer Trouble & A Winner

This is me right now! Our less than 2 year old Mac has up and died. Seems the hard drive crashed. The Hubster has tried everything to revive it but it is a loss. Hopefully this weekend we can go out and purchase an external hard drive to run off until we can save enough to buy a new computer. I am not able to get any of my blog stuff to include all of my pictures I had downloaded for upcoming posts. For now I am on our 8 year old Mac which is a dinosaur compared to what I am use but it will do. It just takes me awhile to accomplish anything on here.

 On a happier note I have the winner of the Folky Art Candles Giveaway!

Congrats Karen Gregory Farris!

Y'all blew me away with all your entries and I thank you for that.

Thank you April for offering up your candles they are truly amazing! Head on over to April's Etsy Shop Folky Art Candles if you have not already. It is time to start putting a dent in the holiday shopping list!:)

Hope everybody has a great weekend and see ya back here tomorrow for "How I Found My Style Sundays".

Happenings

Hey ya'll. Hope your week is going well. Today is The Hubster's birthday so Happy Birthday honey! The Nana and The Papa have been in town and to tell you the truth it is has been a roller coaster of a ride. My father in law started not feeling well Saturday morning when he woke up and has gone down hill ever since. As I type this he is in the hospital having tests run. They are not sure what is going on. He has been having stomach pains and not been able to eat or really drink. He finally went to the doctor yesterday and they took him to the hospital right away. It is bad that he is sick but what makes it worst is the fact that they are out here away from their personal doctors. If ya are gonna be sick it is always nicer to be sick at home. If ya get a chance please send up some prayers. It would be greatly appreciated.

With all that being said not much has been going on around here as far as projects being accomplished which is TOTALY fine. It will all get done sooner or later.

The Papa did manage to cut down the new rods for the dining room during his "I am feeling fine" moments. Now I am playing around with the panels and trying to see how to make a topper for them. More to come later on that.

Yesterday morning I had to go and officially become a Texan once again. I figured after a year of being gone it was time to give up the Louisiana license. I will say though the only reason I had one was because my TX license expired a few weeks before we moved back here. That was a long 3 hours but I was thankful that Littliest was able to stay at home with The Nana and The Papa. He would have been out of his mind.

While I was there The Nana told me that The Papa had gone in the master bath and took these down for me!! Yes, I know!!! He was sick and yet he was still trying his hardest to accomplish something. I felt just awful abt it but it was done and there was nothing I could do abt it but this.....

I felt that I had to get them done ASAP and back up before The Papa gets back "home". He was at the doctors on his way to the hospital and mentioned how we did not have have any bathroom lights. I told The Nana to tell him we would be just fine seeing as we have some lamps. Who needs to see those unmentionable lil' irritating hairs anyways! Ha!;)

I am really excited how they turned out. I added some gold Rub N Buff to the edges to jazz things up a bit.

So there ya have a mini redo. Trying to keep myself busy while we wait so I am off to see what else I may be able to accomplish. Have a good one ya'll and don't forget abt my Annie Sloan Giveway! The deadline is Friday midnight central standard time but may go a few days longer depending on what is up around here. I figured ya'll would understand...I hope.

P.s. Linking up to Metamorphosis Mondays over at BNOTP! Head on over!

P.s.s Welcome to all of my new followers! I did not mean to be an ungrateful hostess! Hope you enjoy your visits and stop by often!:)

Reminder & Thanx!

First off I wanted to say thank you to all of my followers and welcome my new friends as well! This past week I have picked up I think almost 10 new pals which to some I am sure is not a lot but to me it is and I am ever so grateful and humbled that ya'll choose to spend time visiting my lil' ole blog. Thank you so very much!

Reminder that tonight at midnight central standard time is the deadline to enter my April Cornell giveaway. Just click on this link and you can read all about it. If you entered be sure to check back in the morn to see who won and also join in on my next giveaway!

Today is a busy day but a beautiful day! The humidity was almost non existent this morning and since I can not get my lawn guys to weed the beds like they are suppose to I just did them. If I did not have so much going on Littliest and I would be out walking right now! Today I need to finish up some orders and get them packed up to ship later today or in the morn. The Nana & The Papa have begun the 14 hour journey to visit us so we pray they have a safe trip! We can not wait to see them tomorrow around lunch time. Speaking of which I need to kick the boys out of the guest room and back up to their room so I can tidy the guest room up for the rents.

I also need to finish cleaning a few bathrooms, vacuum, clean the wood floors....the list could go on and on and I have to admit I am a teeny tiny bit obsessive when it comes to having house guests even if they are family. There have been times though that I have succumb to defeat and have not been able to get everything done I want thus resulting in laundry lying in a huge ole pile in our bedroom. Laundry done this time around but the swagger wagon still needs cleaning out then again maybe somebody will want a frito or some popcorn for a snack! Ha! Oh and we also have our first soccer practice tonight! Whew, I am getting tired already just reading this.

Have a great day ya'll and I can't wait to draw a winner!!
