Mother's Day is Coming

Happy Tuesday 

Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you all doing well,

and in anticipation of getting off

lock down or maybe you might be 

off already. We are hearing that 

we might be off on April 30th,

course, even so, not sure what

that will mean exactly.  lol

My Daughter suggested I should

do a post since Mother's Days

is only 12 Days away now, to let

 you know that if you can't or are

 not ready to go out into a store to

 buy cards yet, that you can easily

 print one for free

Just Click image:

or go to...
 our print your own card shop,
where there are other choices,
that you can print for FREE.

Which is the main reason we 

opened our shop early, so we

could be a help during this

time.

All you need is directions as to

how to print them, which is 

under printing a card on our

 website, at

NelliesCozyShop.com

 and

 cardstock, which some of you

 crafty folks might already be in

 possession of, or you still have

 time to purchase some that comes

 with scored cardstock and

 envelopes.

You can purchase it from

Office Supply Store,  just

click here.

or

Amazon, just click here

or

Walmart,  just click here.

Disclaimer:  We have no affiliation

with either of these stores, or get

any compensation from them. They

are just where we purchase ours

 for the best price, and thought we

 would pass the info along to you

to be helpful.

and if need be,  you can even

print one on computer paper,

which would be better than

no card at all......after all it's

free so what do you have to

lose....

Also, if you came by and tried us

before and had some difficulty 

please try us again,  

as we had some glitches that we

 have now worked out.

Hoping this might be helpful

to some of you.

Love, Hugs and

Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday April 23, 2020, Playing with photoshop on pics from Easter

Let the name of the LORD be praised, 

both now and forevermore. 

 From the rising of the sun to the place

 where it sets, the name of the LORD

 is to be praised. 

Psalm 113:2-3


Greetings Sweet Friends,

How in the world are you??
Doing well,  I hope.


We are doing well.....been a busy week,
but not complaining cause we are not
definitely not bored!  Finally had some 
time to get out and do some things in
 our new shed today, and that made
hubby happy for sure.  I took down
all the Easter things onTuesday but 
was really still enjoying them, but 
figured it was time.....still haven't filled 
in with Spring things yet,  probably
 tomorrow. Just realized I never took
 any pics of it either.  Oh well........
there is always next year.........lol

I did have some fun playing with
photoshop since I did have to edit
pics for Tuesdays post,  took too 
many as usual,  so put some fun
affects on them, which you will
 see today!

So on with my Thankfuls......

#1

Thankful that the new cases

of Corona virus have slowed

down in our daughters area.
They were at 6% and our #'s
went up a lil but seems to
be starting to drop again

the last few days.  So happy
to see that.

  

#2

Thankful for 2 sets of friends 
who have spent a lot of time
 helping us find some glitches 
we are having with our website,
 most are  taken care of but
 now they are having a hard time 
getting their printers to print
borderless which gives you a
nicer card.

Now they are trying to figure
  that out, but every time they
 think they have it fixed, it isn't, 
 but I know my hubby and he
 will figure it out sooner or later.
If you decide to visit and have
any problems please, please
please let us know,  as we
can't fix what we don't know
about...........Thank you Bill and Vicki
and Bob and Janet, your 
been such a blessing!!

Thankful for all the lovely

comments we got on Wed.

when hubby just put a new

picture of us on my facebook 
page. We were so touched by
all the sweet and unexpected 
comments.

#4

Thankful for our sweet friends

 that showed up at our door wearing 
masks and gloves singing to us, and 
bearing gifts. Lunch from Chick-fil-a
 and a Corona Virus Isolation kit,

It was so cute and so funny, Some
thing for our hands and face (gloves
 and masks), some thing for stress 
(stress relief sudsing hand soap),
 something for our bum (a roll of 
TP)  lol, and something for spills
 (a roll of paper towel), and they
 had wrapped each item, and put

a lil note on each one as to what
it was for....These folks are so 
sweet and such a riot.They are
 always so joyful, and so much
fun to be with.....so that made our 
day to say the least, and also gave
 us quite a laugh.  Thank You

 Janet and Bob!!  Your the
Best!!

Thankful that it sounds like

they have a plan to start 

opening our country back up,

and glad they are doing it in

stages.  Not really sure what
is going on in our area yet.
Think they may have opened
the beaches.

#6
Thankful we got our first 
Hello fresh meals right on
time. So neat how they do
that!  Have made several
meals and they were pretty 
good, but not as thrilled with
 it as I thought we would be,
but I think it is probably
because they are unindated
with new subscribers, so
we will see what this week
brings.

#7
Thankful for all the people
that put scripture verses and
inspirational quotes and songs
and funny things that make 
us laugh on facebook.  You
are being a blessing!


#8
Thankful to see lil darling
on Monday.  We had her
for the day, and had a great
time, and it was a nice to
do something different.
We took wagon rides and
that is always fun,  we even
got the conductor (hubby)
to take a few rides while
I played conductor.  lol

#9
Thankful that we can watch
our church on TV on Sundays,
and also for all the Pastors that
come on TV on Sundays. 
Their is no shortage of good
Bible teaching on Sunday
for sure.

#10
Thankful for skype, as we
have skyped with our daughter
a number of times this week,
and it was just so great to see
her lovely face, as we are all
missing each other so much.

#11
Thankful we finally got some
 time to put together some
 shelves and put up a tool holder
 on the wall in our new shed.
Next we will be moving some
things out of the garage over
to the shed.  Yippee....



#12
Thankful for Instacart shoppers
and Walmart carry out shoppers.
They have been such a blessing
and are so efficient it is amazing.

Easter Table 2020

 Happy Tuesday Sweet Friends,

Hope all is well at your house

this day, and hope the Virus

numbers in your area are de-

clining.  Unfortunately in our

area they are increasing, but

are definitely decreasing in 

the area where our daughter

lives....so grateful for that!!

All is well here at our house.

Keeping busy and still staying

in, and out of the stores.

Thought I would share a fun

post today of our Easter Table.

Don't know why but I love to

do and see pretty tables...but

I just do.....lol  and I always

hope that my tables make every

one feel special........

I find it a fun challenge to come
 up with centerpieces especially

 when you can't get flowers or find

real flowers you are looking for.....

course, I just love the challenge of

making things look pretty.

This table started with these rose

 gold chargers I purchase at dollar

tree in January.  I tried to order

them in the Fall for our Thanks-

giving table,  but they evidently

ran out of them fast,  so when

I saw they were back in stock

I ordered them right away for

next Thanksgiving, but then

realized since I used peachy pink

 colors for Easter they might work

 for that too, and as you will see

they did.

Along with these beautiful 

peonies blossoms I had purchase

a few months back. The items

became my table inspiration.

Decided on a white tablecloth 

and to make it a lil rustic I used the

 burlap table runner.

Then used the rose gold chargers,
 my shabby chic dishes and peachy

pink stemware, and pretty Easter

napkins that have white, peach 

and green in them.

 For the centerpiece.....

Decided to use a charger in the center 

with the blooms on it, and added a mini

 cake plate in the center with a white

 bunny that lights up, that was ringed

 with pastel Easter eggs.

Then just added 2 egg filled cups on

each end of the table along with some 

lovely Magnolia/Lily fragranced candles

from Yankee Candle.  They truly smell

heavenly...........Just love them!

The lil Easter Blessings signs came

 from the tag of an Easter Pillow I

had purchased. I thought they were 

so pretty, and should not go to waste

cause someone put in a lot of time

on them..... so why not appreciate

 them, so I just scanned the tag to

 create a graphic, then put 6 graphic 

pictures on a single letter size page, 

then printed it on letter size card

 stock, cut them out and placed them

 atop the napkin at each place setting.
Just a lil something extra to add to
the beauty and sentiment of the table.

A few overviews

Always try to add a piece of

candy and individual salt and

pepper shakers to my tables.

Well,  that is it for today.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hope you have a good week,

Love, Hugs, and

last of April Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday April 16, 2020, Spring table from the past #3

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
 since as members of one body you
 were called to peace. And be thankful.
Colossians 3:15 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,

How yall doing??  
Hope your doing well.....

We are doing fine, and so happy
that the news about the Virus is
looking better, course, we are not
out of the woods yet, but at least we
 are heading in the right direction or
 so it seems.

Pictures today are from another
Spring table from the past...
Think this was a Mother's Day
table..................

         

So on with my Thankfuls...........

#1

Thankful we got our porch cleaned

and dusted so we aren't sneezing our

heads off from all the oak pollen.

# 2

Thankful to be able to put a new

cushions and pillows on our swing,

so it freshened things up a bit and

looks very pretty.  They were birth-
day gifts from my kids.

#3

Thankful that my Easter table is

all set and ready.

#4

Thankful that we got all the things

we needed for Easter dinner from

Instacart on Friday.

#5

Thankful that the Lord answered

my prayers for a bunny for lil

darling.  I ordered one from the

grocery store and didn't think we

were gonna get it as they said

they were out, but at the last minute

 they found one it was different than

the one we ordered but we liked it

 even better!

#6

Thankful to hear from some dear

friends that we had lost touch

with.  He used to work with my

hubby and they also came to our

church but moved away probably

18-20 yrs. ago.  They had moved

and gotten new cell phone #s and

email....so that was why we lost
touch, but  I was afraid he might
 have passed away because the last 
time I spoke with him he was still
recovering from a bad stroke, so 
what a Joy to know he is alive 
and well.  So good to talk to them.

#7

Thankful for a really good movie

we watched on Pureflix called

"Grace Unplugged".

#8

Thankful that we finally signed

up to do Hello Fresh...we have

been gonna try it for almost

2 yrs. now...and got a gift card

in a box from Amazon for 10

free meals, so since they are

rationing meats and stuff right

now we thought now was a 

good time.  My daughter and

hubby have done it and liked

it, so we get our first box

April 16th.

#9

Thankful for the gift of Easter and

the gift of Jesus and that HE is a 

risen savior and is alive and well.

#10

Thankful for a good time with
the family for Easter. our family
is very small, so it was just the
6 of us, since our daughter and
son-in-love live in Charleston
S.Carolina and due to the shut
down of course, could not come.

#11
Thankful that we got to skype
with our daughter on Easter,
it was so good to see her face.
Think we are gonna need to do
that more often, as we are 
missing her so much.


#12
Thankful to hear that a middle
aged Dad (a friend of a friend)
situation is starting to recover
from covid-19.  He is on a 
respirator,  but he has had most
of the therapies and the last one
was the plasma from a person
who already recovered,  he made
a huge jump in progress yester-
day (On Easter).  He was taken
off sedatives and was waking
up after a week,  his family
was able to facetime him and
tell them he had been asleep
for a week, but it was time to 
wake up because they loved
him, it was a tearful reunion
for all of them.  An Easter
Miracle she said!  There have
been many many prayers 
going up for him. so every
one is overjoyed.

Update:  We read last night
that he is off the ventilator
and was sat up in a chair
for awhile and was joking
with the nurses.  
Such awesome news!!

Well, that's it for Cozy Place this week.
This was the Easter Edition!!  lol


Thanks for coming by.....

and

Keep your light shining brightly!

Love, Hugs and
Belated Easter Blessings,

Nellie
