Love Grapes????

Then this is the recipe for you! I actually love grapes myself and I'm in love with this delicious grape salad. Now, it is super easy and oh sooooo yummy. Here's all that you'll need:

*1 1/2 pound red seedless grapes
*8 oz. cream cheese - softened
*8 oz. sour cream
*1/2 cup sugar
*1/2 cup brown sugar
*about 1/2 cup chopped pecans
*2-3 Heath candy bars - crumbled

Cream sugars, sour cream and cream cheese together. Mix in grapes and coat well, top with chopped pecans and Heath bars. Refrigerate

I had fixed this recipe in the past - but my dear friend and incredible cook, Karen, put her own twist on it with Heath Bars and I have to say - it took it to a whole new level. Thanks Karen!

Hope you all like this "Great Grape Salad" - Enjoy!

My three most special fellows...

are my sweet husband, Shaun, my precious son, Casen and my dear dad, Mike.

On this Father's Day weekend, I want to thank my dad for being such an incredible father to my sister and I. We were raised in a loving, Christian home and he was always kind and good. I always have and guess I'll always be - a daddy's girl.

To Shaun, thank you for the amazing dad you are to our son. For the time you give, the talents you share with him and for the amazing love your surround him with, THANK YOU. He is so incredibly blessed to have you as his father.

I'm also blessed to have two amazing papaws, whom I adore. I'm so grateful to still have them in my life - plus a great father-n-law. They are all wonderful people.

Have a beautiful Father's Day Weekend. Blessings to you all!

In the Garden...

You never know what you might find in the garden - and the more unexpected the better. I recently snatched up this white distressed mantle, not having a clue as to where I might put it (which is usually the case). As much as I would love to put it in my home - there is just not a single spot - plus not for sure what kind of paint is on it - which might be dangerous for my lil' guy. So I thought, how 'bout next to the house in that big bare spot - well, it works for me. And since my better half is not crazy about me puttin' holes in the siding - this works great - I just leaned it up against the house! So I'll change it out for the seasons and it will be another nice conversation piece in the garden!

Happy Creating Friends! Blessings to ya!

Art in the Alley

Art In The Alley

This past weekend we celebrated the Fourth Annual Art in the Alley Festival in our wonderful quaint town of Greensburg. Despite getting off to a rainy start, the day turned out to be a beautiful one filled with lots of artisans, clowns, musicians and many shoppers. My Dad and I had our display next to the neat brick wall, nestled in the corner of the lush Harmony Garden behind the Plaid Peacock. We so enjoyed our day together visiting with everyone. I commend all those who worked so hard to put on such a wonderful event - it was a great time had by all.

Have a beautiful day!

SOOOOO Excited!

Well, I told you a while back about a lil' article I was asked to write and now I'm sooooo excited to say that you can read it! Friends, Paul and Tina Wilson, of Small Town Living "e-zine" asked me to write a piece featuring two garden projects. Needless to say, I was tickled pink and happy to oblige. This online magazine has featured wonderful artists in previous issues and beautiful stories and pictures about "small town living". Paul and Tina do a wonderful job and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to share something I love to do with them AND you!

You can visit them and read about "The Glass Garden House" and "The Garden Party Server" at www.stliving.net
Oops, I almost forgot, my friend, Michelle Eastham, was also featured with her precious children's clothes - "Ribbons -n- Rags" - Read all about her love of sewing.

Thanks again to everyone who has been so incredibly kind to me throughout my blogging venture. What a wonderful blessing!

Have a beautiful week!
