Great Pumpkin Craft Idea


Here's a GREAT way to combine your football spirit AND help that pumpkin live past Jack-o-lanturn season!

Just take acrylic paint and paint the outside to look like your team's (hopefully it's UGA) helmet. The one pictured below even has a bulldog face painted inthe helment. CUTE! No need to throw these pumpkins away as they will last for weeks - at least until the DAWGS make it to the Sugar Bowl in January.

Countdown to UGA/FLA .....


(Me and my dad)

Okay, so most of you probably could care less about college football when you're stressing over finishing that homemade costume you just HAD to make from Martha Stewart - but, at our house, we bleed red and black and I had to make a shout out!

Cross your fingers for us.....!

Blessings......



Count What you HAVE
as opposed to
What you WISH you had



Instead of counting your "need -tos," "have-tos" and "must-dos," try counting your dreams, your desires and....your blessings. It's much easier to be inspired by what you do have than what you don't have.

I want to take a quick minute to count my own blessings, in hopes to inspire you when collecting your own.

I am blessed with a wonderful family - we are healthy, live close to each other and each household is blessed to be surviving in these uncertain times.

I am blessed to be able to stay at home with my children and watch them grow into beautiful, independent ladies.

I am blessed to have a wonderful husband who provides a beautiful home and comfortable life-style for us all.

I am blessed to be surrounded by a wonderful group of friends - both old and new.

I am blessed to be able to share my own loves, hopes and dreams with others through this website.

I am blessed to have so much support from all of you!

Leave a comment on how you are blessed.....
