Five Things Thursday

Today I thought I would share some spring tables. The bunnies remind me of the ones hopping around our yard--AND we have babies! They are so cute. Some are living under the pond. The only problem is that the rabbits eat my flowers. We haven't gotten our pots for the summer yet, but it won't be long. I don't look forward to the destruction.

Travel Tuesday

A few weeks ago on our way back from St. Louis, we stopped here so that Butch could find a geo-cache. This roadside billboard is of George Harrison who visited here once! It's a tiny city--Benton, Illinois. 
Its claim to fame is that George Harrison's sister, Louise lived here in the 1960's. He visited her once in 1963 prior to The Beatles first trip to America.  The home she lived in later became known as a Hard Day's Night Museum and Bed and Breakfast.

Something for Sunday

I do not recall where I heard about this spot and stain remover--either a commercial or on Facebook. Anyway, I bought it on Amazon and it really works!!

I had spilled tea on one of my favorite tops. I tried washing it out as I was wearing it, but, of course, that didn't work. I used Spray n' Wash on it and that didn't work. Then my order of Stingray arrived and I tried it. It was amazing how well it worked. Even after the top was washed and dried--it worked! 

I also used it on several carpet stains--and it worked! 

It's just nice to have something in your back pocket that you know you can rely on.

Scrapbook Saturday

This is my March layout for my "Memories by the Month" album.


I used my Cricut to cut the title for this page.

I did some machine sewing on the hearts and to hold down the ruffles.

I cut the bats for the title and then just used stickers.

I cut this title on the Cricut and used glitter glue for the snow.

Five Things Thursday

This week, I thought I would share some furniture re-dos. Every one of them are beautiful! What a great way to take some outdated pieces and make them look fresh and new.


This one is my favorite for really making this china hutch into something completely different. However, I do not like the tile backsplash. If I were doing it, I would have put shiplap there. And, I'm not crazy about the butcher block counter or the sink. The piece looks more formal to me. I would have added a piece of granite for the counter top and a fancier faucet. I would turn it into a bar.
