Check out my Garden Angel:)

I LOVE this she is so cute. My husband's grandmother is quite a crafter, and is 80 years old. She made this angel for me and some other family members. I thought I would share her crafty work with you today. Its called a gardening angel, she amazes me what work she can do at her age. She is the best cook too, and has the biggest loving heart:) I have learned many things from her,including some recipes:) and she is a fine Christian woman. She has made many things for me over the 17 years I have been married to my husband. I will show you in the coming weeks some of the things she has made for me and my family, she will amaze you too. I just had to share this doll with you, and a little about the amazing woman who made it:)

--GRANDMA IS THE LAST ONE ON THE RIGHT--The first picture was taken at my daughter's 17-0 perfect record championship volleyball game:)

2 cups of sugar
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
mix all ingredients together all ingredients will melt down to liquid looks like chocolate syrup let come to a rapid boiler once boiling heavily I count to 10 and take off burner
add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 and 1/2 cups of quick oats make sure they are quick oats
stir well and take spoonful of cookie mix( will be runny slightly) and place on aluminum foil until set
I Love these cookies and all my family and extended family do too:)
I do always use name brand peanut butter like Jif and sugar(Domino)
and cocoa is name brand too Hersheys or Nestle the oats I do use are generic because they really are that good and they sell them at the Dollar General store.Well thanks for stopping by today as always please follow along, I love to have you, and refer a friend to my blog:)

Primitive White Bench

I wanted to share with you the bench I have had for awhile now that was picked up at a yard sale for 5.00. I have it outside my home, and I love it. It has the distress look and I love that too. It shows you can find so many neat items CHEAP at yard sales. Alot of my items outside items even for seasonal display or my inside home decor items come from yard sales. I love finding those bargains and re-doing an item or finding nice gently used name brand clothing for a huge FRACTION of what you pay at the store. My family and friends know me as the yard sale queen. I get I can't believe you got that at a yard sale alot, but I did. I DEFINATELY believe in the motto someones trash is anothers treasure.....:) Thanks for stopping by this morning, still finishing up the posie pillow I have they needed some work I am NOT the sewer so they are in need of a touch up and some buttons. Hope to have them up Friday:) As always please follow along I love to have you, and send a friend....
