Introducing!

Ladies and Gentlemen! Children of all ages! Introducing. . . . GERITOL #2!!!!!

AKA : Plastic Canvas Project #2!
I was going to call it PCP2, but I thought better of it!

So, now that the second plastic canvas project is complete, I have officially joined the Geritol club. You see, I do clearly recognize that ONE plastic canvas project could be viewed as a "weak point" in ones life, or perhaps a temporary lapse in judgement. However, TWO plastic canvas projects clearly prove the PCC (Plastic Canvas Creater) has truly lost her marbles and joined the ranks of true GERITOL status. It's not all that bad, though. Trust me. I'm sure there are much worse clubs I could join, right? And take a look at them . . . Geritol 1 and 2 . . .

I mean, seriously . . . aren't they the cutest pair? And, let me tell you how cute they look on the counter. So sweet. Well. . . let me show you. Because, in addition to finishing Geritol #2 this week, I also revisited that thorn in my side (the kitchen corner) today, and have finally completed it's major transformation. (Which, translated, means: I FINALLY cleaned up and put away the mess that has been collecting there for the past few months.) Before I show you what it looks like now, let me remind you of the FIRST transformation of that counter about a week ago, when I first changed it from this . . .

to this . . .


While I was happy for the work I did then, I still wasn't feeling it. I needed to put some additional attention on the flow of the corner, and the function of it. So, after purchasing a little file box (in that Robin's Egg Blue color I love) and after completing Geritol 1 & 2, I now feel really happy with the corner. So, here it is . . .


Again, don't they (Geritol 1 & 2) look lovely? Not bad. Not bad, at all.

So, just another silly update on my day. Be glad I didn't share my pantry, junk drawer and spice cabinet with you. Each of them also received some major much needed attention from me today, but I thought I would have really crossed a line if I was blogging about my spice cabinet. Hmmm . . . maybe tomorrow! ; )

p.s. Thanks for the thoughts for my friend . . . and keep them coming, if you don't mind. The next few days are going to be particularly rough for her, and I know she feels our energy. I'm certain of it.

    Ok, because of you, I cleaned out those oh so dreaded drawers that someone thought it was a good idea to put on end tables. I also cleaned off a crap filled end table , and put plants on it, thanks for the inspiration, Leanne!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
