Hi Everyone -
My name is Toni, I'm 50 something, how time flies when your having fun:) I'm a mom to three wonderful sons. Twins that are 22 and my youngest is 21. They truly are a blessing and my greatest joy.
I have to admit that I have a small addiction to Thrifting & Junking!! Filling my home with the treasures I find, sometimes giving them a fresh look. I can never pass up a thrift store, yard sale or flea market! (I've been known to be late to a few functions) I love the cottage look with a little bit of everything mixed in making my home comfortable & inviting.
Some of my Favorite Things my 3 wonderful sons cottages
old painted furniture
chippy pieces rusty iron garden pieces a childs laugh

Stressed spelled backwards is DESSERTS. See the connection? ; )
Christmas has come and gone, but the memories of family, great food, celebrations and traditions are still lingering. Part of the lingering is the happiness brought by the gifts received. I love everything my sons picked out for me, slippers, new gloves, perfume, bath luxuries, etc.....but the gift that really made my heart go pitter patter was the new set of tools from my SIL. My drill and sander were both on their last leg and I was tired of hoping and praying they would last for one more project! This year we drew names and Cindy drew mine. The set came with a drill, small circular saw (handy for picture frame projects, trim work, etc) and two batteries with a charger. I love that it says "starter set"! And she also bought me the sander that I have been wanting. Christmas night I had both batteries fully charged and ready to start working!! WOO HOO!!! What was your favorite present??
My favorite GIFT.. altho I was very ill at Christmas with the CRUD,, I was able to prepare my Christmas dinner.. But the best gift was Time..I had rushed for two months, flying to Florida. hurrying and scurrying with errands and such.. suffice to say.my poor body was was simply tired.and needed rest.. ..I was so thankful to have the luxury of a calm and quiet afternoon and evening of Christmas day..to enjoy the sights and sounds of the season..while at a "date" with my computer!! warm hugs..laughing smiles.. Happy New Year! Loui♥
