Foogie

-
Earlier this week on Facebook, I mentioned
that my mom had made me a great foot-warming
device.
My friend Amy promptly dubbed it a "Foogie".
Several people thought it would be a best seller for cold weather,
and others wanted to see pictures.
Below is the ORIGINAL!
My mom, who we call Sweetie,
has been making these for us for years.
They are filled with rice and can be heated up in the microwave.
They are great to use to keep warm or for aches and pains.
I kept this one nearby at all times when I had the flu earlier this season.
Sweetie then came up with the brainstorm of making one with a "pocket"
where you can place your feet to keep them warm.
The first picture below shows one foot in and one foot out.
(Does that remind you of the hokey-pokey song?)
This photo shows both feet warmly cuddled into my Foogie.

Thanks, Sweetie, I love it!

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
