Misty Monday

Hello my friends it has been a misty day, but the weather is going to improve this week I hope. I want to start out by thanking everyone that has became a follower or posted such nice comments, they make a newby feel welcomed. Just got back from picking up my daughter from work, she works her butt off at a local retail store here in our town, I am very proud of her, but then of course she came home and I had to feed her....lol I have decided today to post a non potatoe recipe since it seems that I am overly fond of potatoes, this one was my mothers we fondly called Pink Stuff, but it just depends on what color jello you use, could be orange stuff, or green stuff etc.


2 cans of Fruit Cocktail drained
1 container of Cottage Cheese
1 container of Cool Whip
1 box of any flavor Jello unprepared
Mix all ingredients together, and then just refrigerate, easy peasy.....

I hope everyone has had a great start on the new work week, I am off one more day then back at it, take care and God Bless!

1-2 cans of corn drained
1-2 cans of greenbeans drained
1-2 cans of peas drained

Today was ok I guess for a Wednesday, work has been rough lately I am the ever hated telemarketer....lol the people you hate to have call you and love to hang up on, but it pays the bills "barely", they are getting a little ridiculous with the rules at work, they make them up as they go along, they schedule your breaks for you, now our lunches, and now who you can set by. Oh well, things could be worse I guess, hope everyone has had a great day, and enjoyed this beautiful weather..... Take care and God bless!

Mondays Makeover

I know this is Tuesday, but this is what I did Monday. I have decided to make my kitchen over in the country theme, since that seems to be the trened now, I got alot of ideas from my cousin Donna, she has already done most of her house and it looks great. I bought 5 yards of material from a local fabric store and made 3 sets of curtains and a table scarf, will attempted to post a pic, and so far it's coming together nicely. I have a hutch in my kitchen that I placed a few country themed items on one being a set of mason jars painted and decorated. Is very easy to do, just take jars and paint inside with glass paint, any color you want then stencil on the outside a star or whatever you like and tie mouth of jar with any matching fabric and maybe add a small decorative item. Also in the jar you can add a few pieces of twigs and berries, or fake ivy, which ever you like. Hope you all enjoyed this, like I said I will attempted to post pics, hope everyone had a great day!

Welcome anyone and everyone!

Welcome everyone, My name is Mary and I live in a small town in Va. I live with my wonderful husband Chris, and my 18 year old daughter Megan. My husband has 3 children from a previous marriage that I am sure you will hear about, I am still adjusting to being a step mom of 3 little ones, it's like starting all over again....lol. Please bare with me as this is the first time I have tried this so any suggestions would be appreciated. I work as a CSR in our small town, am sure you will hear about that too, but am also wanting to tell or trade any ideas of crafts, cooking, and general life journeys and maybe someone out there just might think "Now why didn't I think of that" so please take a few minutes of your day and come join me on this new journey, God bless you all!
