Guess what I've been up to?????????

(Our guest bedroom - Don't know why the mirror has that ring,

it is some type of reflection I guess)

Happy Monday

Sweet Friends,

*

So, how was your weekend???

*

See any good movies,  or go out

to dinner,  or make something new

and special, recipe or project??

Or

Did you get some rest,  spend time

with the Lord or family,  go visit

friends or something else exciting??

*

Well, tell me about it???

I like to hear what you are doing too!!

*

It has been a dismal, drearing day here

and has been raining all afternoon as well.

Course, we can use the rain!

*

I have been working on our guest room

to get it up to speed.  Scott left it all

cleaned up, with clean sheets and all.

*

So that meant all I needed to do was

redecorate her!!  yeah!!  That is the part

I love best, you know.

*

We moved a drop leaf table back in 

there,  that is what I use for my sewing

machine,  but I didn't set that up yet.

*

I did this for now,  and then all I have

to do is pull the side of the table out

when I want to set up my machine.

*

*

Put a chair from the kitchen in there, cause of the empty

 corner (we used to have our exercise bike there), and

now it is in the garage, and it is actually more handy

there.  So now we just have 2 chairs at the table in

the kitchen which gives us more room in there,

plus it will give me a chair to use when I sew.

*

Put all the stuff back on the table that was there

before  and rehung the daisy picture.

*

*

Then there were some scratches to the paint (which were

already there,  and an 2 unsightly electrical thingies which

I wanted to cover up,  so I found my picnic basket and

stuck a grapevine spray in it, and added a picture near

the floor,  really doesn't go with the room theme wise,

but oh well, it works for colorwise for now, also stuck

one of the pillows from the bed on the chair. 

*

*

Side table,  we have a headboard that matches

this table that belongs to my daughter,  but it is

 stored at my sister-in-laws, so think we are gonna

measure it and see if we can use it with this

queen bed,  she used it with a full but I think

it is made so you can do both,  it has a foot

board but we don't think that will work

*

*

Here us a closeup of the comforter,  I loved the colors

cause they were different from anything else I had

cause it was tropical.  It was from the Ty Pennington

collection @ Sears, and the price was right!!

*

*

I had these mirrors, they were still up, I found them

at Ross and thought they were a great match with

the bedspread.  Only they didn't show up on the

white walls so I had to add some blue scrapbooking

paper to the back of them,  but it worked out

great!  They were 12 X12, I think it is,  same as

the scrapbooking paper, so that made it easy.

*

We really need to paint but I just don't feel like

tackling it now because I want to start working

on our bathroom dressing area next,  so we

can complete that area.  Then I will tackle this

room.  I need to decide what color I want it.

Only a few choice really,  tan or robins egg blue.

I may do part tan and part blue,  that would

probably work. Gotta think on that a bit!

*

Got any ideas???  I am open to suggestions???

*

I have been cooking as I am downloading or

uploading photos, whichever one it is!!

who can remember!! lol

*

I am making campfire burgers.  I place ham-

burger pattieson heavy duty alum foil,

then season with lawry's seasoned salt

and granulated garlic powder,  then add

some onions and bellpeppers.  I usually

cut them in thick slices, then wrap them up.

Set them on a cooking sheet and bake

them in the oven @ 350 degrees for about

 30 -40 mins.,( not totally sure about the time

 cause it has been a while) but just take one out 

and cut into the burger to make sure it is done.

*

Am making baked potatoes to go with it,

 roasting some brussel sprouts for the first time

 in the oven. The recipe sounds good, 

 cause you add onions and garlic, olive oil,

 salt and pepper then bake @ 450 degrees

for 15 minutes.  You are to cut the

brussell sprouts vertically into thin

slices.

*

I will let you know how they come out!!

I really love roasted veggies,  they are

really great and easy!!  Love that!!

*

*

Well,  there you have it ...............

that was some of my day, along with blogging,

taking pics and cropping them,  and cooking.

I am ready to eat!!  I have worked up an

appetite,  how bout you???

*

See ya tomorrow for Heart Tips Tuesday!

*

Blessings n' hugs,

Nellie
