Hello everyone! Wow, is it ever hot here in North East Texas! I was just outside to photograph a wreath and I was 'glistening' (you know ladies don't sweat, right?) in about 30 seconds after walking outside. I also took time outside to move the water once again. I'm trying to keep my grass alive during this drought we are experiencing. I know God will send the rain, but we are so very dry. The grass in the pastures is burning up and not growing so cows and horses are suffering as well as the farmers who will have to scramble to find enough hay to feel them. If the rain doesn't come soon people will begin to sell off their cattle to lighten the load on the pastures and then cattle prices will fall. I'm betting beef in the grocery stores doesn't decrease in price though. Seems nothing ever seems to go down in price.
I am trying my best to be a very frugal shopper. Yesterday I went to a resale shop and a garage sale and really got some nice bargains. I got 4 shirts for my son, 3 dresses for my granddaughters, a purse, several household/crafting items, lots of holiday decorations and I paid $22.00. I'd say that was pretty good shopping. Wouldn't you? Now if I could just start selling some of the things around here that I no longer use....that seems to be a bit harder for me. Maybe one of these days the spirit will move me to declutter again.
I've been busy this weekend baking. I don't know what got into me. I baked one plain pound cake and one chocolate pound cake. I gave cake to my sister, my parents, my friend and I had lots to put into the freezer. Nope, I didn't eat any, although I was sorely tempted. It smelled sooooo good. I like to have homemade cake in the freezer just in case visitors drop by. With pound cake you can always serve it plain, with ice cream (Bluebell Homemade Vanilla of course) or make Strawberry Shortcake, so I try to keep it on hand.
I'm going to post pictures of my newest wreath creations. Just a couple of things I whipped up this morning before church. I'm going to make one more wreath before going to church tonight. I'll try to post it later tonight. I sure do wish I could stay home from work tomorrow and make wreaths and gift items. I'm in the mood to create. Remember it's never too early to start your Christmas shopping. Keep TheJourneyAccents in mind for those gifts for a special someone in your life. I will be posting lots of gift items in the near future.
Always remember....No one can make you feel bad unless you give them permission.
