Thursday’s Thought-love@home

Today’s thought is just a very simple one that I thought would be fun printed and put in a frame. It is just an updated version of an oldie but goodie.

I have a frame that is 4 x 10 and I just thought that this saying would look so cute in this frame, so that is the reason for the size of this quote.

I did just a basic color…

And just for fun, I did a neon one!

You can download both of them here: love@home. I printed it out on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of photo paper and cut it out.

Put these in a frame and they would make fun gifts for newlyweds, birthdays, family members or just for your own home decor!So how do you like this neon one? I kind of like the updated look!

Hope you have a great Thursday and that you can have love@home!

Thanks for visiting!

Thursday’s Thought- I won’t tell…

I have not done a Thursday thought in awhile so I decided that it was time to get back into my routine! If you are a grandma or you have a grandma you will know what this thought is all about! :)

This has the same meaning as the Las Vegas Slogan: What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas.

What happens at Grandma’s stays at Grandma’s!

Right? I think so.

This would be a fun as a framed print for your grandma! I am sure that it would make her smile. If you don’t print it, at least send it on to her.

I love being a grandma and having fun with the grandkids. They find joy in the simplest things and I love looking at the world through their eyes! I love that I can spoil them and then send them home! :)

Thanks for visiting today…and let’s try to look at the world today through a child’s eye!

Today I have a fun food craft that you can do with the kiddos! I am back to tending two of my grandkids a couple of days a week and I decided that we needed a project to do. I still have some limited use in my right arm and hand, but I can cook again, so we decided it would be fun to make cupcakes!

Medical update: I am getting a little bit stronger every day. I think the thing that fooled me the most was how weak I am and how little energy I have! I guess that is from the blood loss. I feel like my arm is getting a little bit stronger every day and my incision is healing well. The good news is that the numbness is slowly leaving…the bad news…I can now feel it! I still have my super glue on the top of the incision, but the bruising is almost gone. (My arm just looks a little bit dirty where the bruising is!) I can now start lifting 10 pounds, but I cannot yet rotate my arm outwards all the way. But all in all, I would say that I am doing super!

So, I still cannot do very many projects, but I would like to share one with you that I picked up at a little boutique during our town celebration:

Thursday’s Thought-A Good Father is…

Today for my Thursday’s thought, I decided that I had better do one more Father’s Day quotes. I think that this one is so true. Good dad’s are sometimes hard to come by. I am so grateful for my own father and the great example that he is to my family and I. We all just love him to death! I am also grateful for my husband’s father. He too, is well loved by all of us!

This would be fun printed and framed for the father in your life! To print just click on this link: Father’s Day

I am also so grateful for my husband who was always there for my children as they were growing up…and is still there for them all the time. They still value his opinion on things from raising the kids to finances to sports questions and everything in between! It is so great that they feel like they can call him anytime and he will take the time to talk to them!

If you have a great father in your life, be sure to tell him how much you love and appreciate all that he has done for you!

Happy Father’s Day to all those great dads out there!

It is Thursday once again, so it is time for my Thursday’s Thought!

I loved this thought the first time I ever saw it and I think that it sums up how I feel! If you have your loved ones around you, you pretty much have everything!

This is formatted to an 8 x 10 size for anyone that would like to print it. It would also be a great gift to frame it!

I don’t know about you, but I cannot believe how quickly the month of May is disappearing! With all the end of the school year activities, ballgames, and dance recitals etc, etc, etc, it seems like it is always such a busy month. Before we know it school will be out and we will be in the full swing of summer! I love summer and the warm weather and being outside for BBQ’s, s’mores, fireworks, parades and all of the flowers everywhere! So I say, bring SUMMER on!

Hope you have a great Thursday and that you have learned that being with those you love is enough also!

Thanks for visiting!

I thought that this thought was so cute! I love the analogy of picture taking with real life! It is perfect for the photographer in your life, or just for a thought about how to deal with life! It would be a fun Father’s Day print with the blues and orange colors! It would also be a great gift for the new graduate in your life!

There are some days that you just have to “take another shot”, but for the most part, I hope that we can learn from the negatives!

I hope that you are having a great Thursday!

I am so happy to announce that it is Christmas in May!?

I decided right after Christmas last year that I was going to make these two quilts for gifts for this year. I went out and got the fabric last January and I have slowly been working on them during some of our weekend trips up to our cabin, and they are now finished and I can put them away until Christmas!
