Cute Wreath

I have been wanting to make one of these wreaths for along time it was so easy
First I made a frame out of a wire hanger
then went to the scrap bag and started cutting away strips I really wanted it bright and sunny like our summer here in Georgia lol I separated them in same colors and the way I wanted them on the wreath
started tying

I think it turned out wonderful I love it
Best part it did not cost me one cent
love it
so go ahead and make one for every season :)
Whatcha think?

Happy Friday

My Monday

I have to say I love having Mondays off I started out getting this beauties out of the garden fresh salsa to come
Noah has not been on the blog lately so here he is growing up more and more :(
I have been wanting to make a pound cake for awhile my grandmother always had a pound cake at her house it just reminded me so much of her and my papa
this is the first time I have ever made a cake (gasp) look how nice straight out of the oven I was so scared it was going to fall or stick! Now I have the baking bug
You know you have blogged for awhile when your kids start posing with food lol
(Noah is so goofy)
Just a random picture of me all hot and sweaty ha
I am spending the rest of the evening reading, laundry and watching Master Chef

I have a serious addiction

As most of you know (I think) I work at the library which I love btw but one of the problems I have is I can't stop checking out books its bad!!! 

right now I have 25 books checked out



I worked this afternoon and checked out 3 more 



One perk for working at the library we have no late fees so this could get bad!
Well since it can't get any worse... who are you favorite authors and books?
