a super fast wireless card..now..I can surf at lightning speed! yippeee!!!

  ..gone are the chains..I know folks have thought some things..but really..I haven't visited because I just couldn't... not that I'm being a snob..I would literally sit for hours just trying to visit and well..waiting and waiting for a single page to load..that's just no good..my family was suffering..so I gave up... But, Thank the Lord..things have worked out... for now... I don't have to be silent anymore!

 I'm FREEE!!! 

its' soo liberating!! So... I'm back..I'm free to come and annoy all you fab folks!{ Thank you soo much to those who have visited faithfully during this silent time..}  I'm sure your gonna be like 'oh my goodness.. would you just shush!!'lol!

Oh gosh..I've got lots to share.. let's see..marvelous charms.. we've ripped up the floor in the kitchen to reveal amazing 109+ year old hard wood floors.. base ball.. and a birthday is coming up!

Ciao Bellas! I've missed you...

A beautiful light that shines brightly...

Yes..Suger Pie Farmhouse is one of the lights that shine brightly in this dark world..

'Aunt Ruthie' is such an amazing lady..You will find wonderful recipes..fashion inspirations..{How about those wonderful sassy aprons! }..tales of Aunt Ruthie and her family's adventures..but most of all sound Spiritual inspiration! Every time I visit, it's as if she wrote that particular post or story for me.. I know she didn't..but God speaks to my heart through her..Thanks Ruthann! You are amazing. I always get a priority check when I visit..and I am soo thankful for that!

Pleeease visit the "Farmhouse" today..you will be so glad you did..

  I made this charm as part of a giveaway..

You can visit here...

I'm honored to have this chance to celebrate! Take Wing ladies!! Thanks so much Dori!

Ciao Bellas..

who says so?...

I don't know about you, but I am pretty sick and tired of the media..and everyone else saying that people need to be a certain weight to be considered pretty..or of an ideal figure..

  Are you gonna tell my that Jane Russell isn't pretty? This lovely lady had curves! She was healthy...

  {love her gown by the way}..I admit it..I've enabled society to make me feel bad I can't fit in a size 0... I'm not gonna okay!! This gal has had three kiddos..and I love good food and wine.. I think it should be about health..not about fitting into some stupid 'ideal'

Look at Marilyn here.. she is pretty! And she doesn't look like a skeleton..I mean please..these young girls here look like if you sneezed too hard they might blow away! It's almost scary. Who has enabled society to set this standard? We have..We must stop it! This goes for boys AND girls.. Just because #1 isn't 200 lbs at 16 doesn't mean that he's a wimp.

  It's gotta be about developing a healthy self image. Don't believe the lies that you have to weigh a certain amount!! Look a certain way.. It should be about that you are healthy and happy with who you are...

All my pics I found here... and you ran read about BMI here...

Ciao Bellas!

no hype...

Well..I don't know your feelings on this, but I think this product works!

Forgive me, but if you are going to get sick..nothing is going to keep you from it..but do you want something that will help build your immune system? Something that will help you get over it more quickly? Airborne is it for us..

  Each of the boys have made it through this winter only missing 3 days of school total! {That's one a piece }.We've escaped the horrible stomach crud that went around here..and were able to get over our cold more quickly and didn't have to go to the doc because it turned into some horrible infection.. I'm sold on this product..I challenge you to try it..

Ciao Bellas!

sisters..

 well now..where were we?..oh yeah..some new creations.. and my 'Sister' collage..it's not literally my sister's collage, but a collage for everyone entitled "Sisters"

This is a fun collage with a picture of two ladies arm in arm.. I  imagined they were sisters..That have been best of friends since before they could remember.. the caption says "They played together nearly all the while"... The original collage is an 8" inch x 10" on water color paper.. I was able to shrink it down to 1"inch by 1 1/2" inch..a tiny sentiment for a 'best friend'..

there are some of us that don't have a sister per say..but have a bestest freind that has stuck just as close. Ahhh? Got one of those? This is for you too! I'd love to hear about your sis!

Rock on my Vintage Sistas!

Hang on.. Only one more day! And it's the Weekend! yayayh!
