• $50 Your Way Giveaway February 2023!

    January drug by! I think because it’s so dang COLD here in Sandpoint, Idaho. Which really means I spent more time in my craft room. For Christmas my amazing children Selena and Zachary bought me the Cricut Mug Press. OHMYGOSH!!! I am beyond addicted.  I’m still working on getting colors and placements right, but DANNNNNNNNNG this is fun!! I can take a plain ole white mug, white tumbler, coasters, and magnets and turn them into THIS!!!! Granddaughter Olivia requested some new acrylic designs for her light. So I etched these on the Cricut Maker with the help of the etching blade. What I love about these blanks are they come…

  • December’s $50 Your Way Giveaway

    Hard to believe that 2023 is only 31 days away. Holy Guacamole Batman this year went fast. My November was busy. Between the emergency trip to California to a slew of medical appointments for The Husband, November went FAST! I didn’t even get to make everyone crazy by putting up my Christmas decorations on November 1st!! I feel all outta sorts because of it! As a matter of fact (get ready to gasp!) I gave serious thought to NOT decorating at all this year! I KNOW RIGHT?!?! Me the 3 different trees and a million different decorations.  Lucky for me The Husband pouted until I gave in and decorated on…

    Whoaaaaa do you realize that there are only 61 days left of 2022!?!? That can’t be right can it!?!  Yet Alexa tells me it’s true. That’s nuts! Time…. tooo fast! My October just flew by! Mostly because of a family tragedy, Son-in-Law Dan lost his Dad. I flew to California so that Dan could go be with his parents in Tennessee. Dan did make it there in time and now is with his Mom to help her through these first weeks. Although, it was a sad reason to be in California I get to be with Alice for Halloween, which does make me so happy. I return home to California…

  • Hello October 2022! Time For The $50 Your Way Giveaway!!

    Okay, all together now……… HOW DID it get to be October already!??! My monthly update is filled with Halloween goodies! I decorated early in September. I just couldn’t help it. I started sending goodies to Alice and Olivia for Halloween. Then the whole ‘Winston‘ thing happened. Thank you Kate for the name, it really fits him.  The most important part of Winston is the fact that my son Zachary STILL refuses to acknowledge him!!! Seriously!! How stubborn is this kid?!?!?! Yes, I do see the irony. That nut did not fall far from the tree. However, I continue to send an updated picture of Winston throughout the house every day,…

    $50 Your Way Giveaway September 2022!

    Happy September little Peanuts. Here is my monthly update. August was a pretty busy month. I finally got back to work in my garden. Let’s just say it’s a big dead piece of land and not really a garden. But, all weeds are pulled. Everything has been trimmed back. I dug up some of my lavender plants and planted  them in different places. It worked wonderfully last year so I’m hoping for the same next spring. Only a small amount of touch up left to do and this year is done. I also cleaned up my little roll top desk. (Refresher, my Grandpa built this little roll top desk for…

    $50 Your Way Giveaway August 2022

    Here is my July update from on top of the mountain in Sandpoint Idaho. The beginning of the month was a whirlwind.  The Husband has been sick, MS and Covid do NOT mix well. Mid July I had originally planned to take visiting Granddaughter Alice home, stay a week and visit family and friends before returning home. Welllll, that was not meant to be. The Husband could not be left alone longer than a day, even that was tricky. So, Alice and I flew to sunny California, I dropped the kid at the curb, hugged the Son In Law. Hugged the kid and immediately got on a plane back to…
