Face Painting 101

-
True Confession Time:
For the past two days, I hadn't put on make-up.
I was just too tired to worry with it.
But this morning, I decided it was time to
be "me" again, so I put on make-up
and even "hair." :)
Then this little superman and his dad and brother
stopped by our house to visit.
They had been to yard sales and Caleb
had bought a face painting kit.
Jeremy did the honors of painting
Caleb's face and then Caleb wanted to paint Nana's face.
Let me tell you, only a grandmother would
go to the trouble of putting on
make-up and then letting her grandchild
paint away at her face.
The white base paint was COLD!
The make-up expert was very thorough.
Not only did I get a full white face,
I got black bones painted on.
In case you can't tell, we are skeletons.
Caleb wanted us to look alike.
Can you tell how excited I was with
the final result?
Isn't it amazing what we will do for our
grandchildren?

You deserve a reward for that one, Nana! I think he did an amazing job, and he must have been so proud of his handiwork. You're all ready for Halloween!

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?
