Hidden Treasure!

I have been meaning to share this with ya! This is an old crock that my hubby purchased for me years back. It was painted yellow. I hated it! Well since moving to our new home, it was put into our storage building. A while back I had come across it and noticed blue stripes peeking out from behind the yellow paint. I asked my hubby if he had any acetone to take off the paint. He didn't, so the next trip to Home Depot he bought some. This was to become his next project! When he finally got all the yellow paint off I was soooo excited to see it! I finally had an old crock!!! Well I already did, but just didn't know it!!!
Here are the before and after pics!

16 yrs Today

Today is a sad, but happy day. My mom passed away from melanoma cancer. I am happy that she is in a better place and no more pain. I still miss her laugh and her lil smile. I feel her with me almost on a daily basis. I wished she were still here with me, as she was where I got my creative side from. I wished she had gone to MD Anderson and gotten cured of her cancer. She was only 43. That is so scary because I will be 41 this year and have already had my brush with cancer. They say time heals all wounds, but the hurt doesn't go away.

I love you Mom

Tornados touched down!

all around us last night! There were tornado warnings, but just before they hit here, it knocked out our satelite! Hubby was checking outside and opened our front door and the wind was blowing so hard he had a hard time shutting the door. He told the girls to come downstairs. The temp dropped here from 70's to 40's so quick. Our swing he just put up not long ago was blown into the woods edge. Our shutter on the front of our house was blown off and unrepairable and an oak tree was blown over by our pond. This we actually got more damage than Ike this time. Other than we lost more trees during Ike. Then after it was all said and done, at about 12am we lost power for 2 1/2 hours! Felt like Ike all over again! I have to go to work, but I took some pics. I haven't heard the news yet as to what damage it caused in our area.
It was scary because it was dark and you couldn't see what was going on.
Hope everyone was ok!
Well off to get ready for work!
