Once, Twice, Three times a lady...............

Thanks for the times that you've given me
The memories are all in my mind

And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say aloud

You're ONCE

TWICE

THREE times a lady

When we're together, the moments I cherish

with every beat of my heart

To touch you
To hold paint you

To feel you, to need you

There's nothing to keep us apart.......................

You hear that John?
I can't let this one go..............
John?
JOHN?
JOHN?  

She will not be 4 times a lady
I can promise you that LOL

Paint:  Modern Masters - Metallic Paints - Pewter
Protection:  Polyurethane Water Base Satin ( not applied yet in photos )
And this is as true to the color as I can get it

Another new obsession in the making folks................

Sail on Silver Girl................sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine...................

There - just to torment you a little, you get 2 "stick-in-your-brain" all day songs -
Just cause I love ya!

( oh and if you need a friend - I'm sailing right behind )

Have a Marvelous Monday every one!

John says - What the hell is going on around here with that dresser?
John says - How many times have you changed this exactly?
Suzan says - Well she's once, twice.......................

Rain, rain, rain, Showers..................

It's raining as I type this - and I can already tell it's going to be a grey day...............
I have a hair dressers appointment early this morning - and then I have to run around like a crazy lady because lately I seem to have a terrible time in the organizational department...............

And today I'm hosting a Shower for Lindsay.

I've managed to set the buffet table

but I have no idea where I'm going to put the 6 platters that are already prepared in the fridge.............

I decorated the buffet with photos of the Bride to be

and I thought I'd show you a little DIY framed poem I wrote for the dining room many many years ago ( another house another time )

Set your table for kings and queens,
Let good wine and good food abound
For we are surrounded by Royalty
When family and friends sit down........................

I have not decorated anything else yet.
I have not bought the game prizes yet.
I have not finished making the food yet.
I have not finished cleaning the house yet.
I have not bought the wine yet.

There's a chile cooking in the crockpot - because the digital pad on my oven just stopped working -
and there's no time for a repairman to come - everything else will have to be a cold buffet.

It never rains.....................
But it Showers people -

Did I mention I couldn't sleep last night?
KEEP ME AWAY FROM THE WINE THIS AFTERNOON
DEAR GOD
JUST KEEP ME AWAY FROM THE WINE.
We all know what happens when I over indulge, right? ( here and here )

I asked everyone to bring a gift certificate each - because I plan on making a " gift certificate " tree
I haven't spray painted the branches yet - and it's raining.
I asked everyone to bring a hand written recipe - and I forgot to write one out for myself.
They're to go in here

each section has recipes - a place to write out recipes - and a pocket for recipes from friends

and if I don't seriously get off this chair and move my butt - the only recipe I'll be able to contribute is a recipe for disaster :)

Have a great Saturday!
Hugs,
