Dollar Store Glitz

Add Dollar Store Pumpkin, glitter, glue and an ADD person.....
 
and what do you get.....
 
a glitter pumpkin.
 
My precious friend, Cindy,
 
the one who helped my son make my laundry detergent,
 
came over and we decorated pumpkins with glitter.
 
The only problem is I am ADD
 
Most of the time, I concentrate, work slowly and methodically.
 
But today.....  I don't know what happened.
 
 Cindy carefully places the glue on her pumpkin...
 
 
And I just globbed mine on....
 
I had so much glue on mine...  it was still wet this morning.
 
But it was fun!
 
After we decorated the real pumpkins,
 
we decorated our Dollar Store Pumpkins, with Dollar Store glitter.
 
Again,  Cindy carefully places her glue, and only uses a single color...
 
 
And I just globbed mine on... and mixed all the colors.
 
 
And.... It was fun.
 
We then celebrated with Chocolate Cake.
 
 
Yum! Yum!!
 
And this was definitely fun!
 
My Dollar Store Pumpkin, and my glittery results.
 
 
Cindy's Dollar Store Pumpkin, and her glittery results
 

 
No Matter your personality, no matter your decorating style
 

Come together and Have fun!
 
Love,
Catrina

Always Remember, Never Forget

12 years has come and gone, but the hurt and memories linger...


May we never forget those who have lost...

 Those that sacrifice for others.....

 (my brother and nephew participating in a 'Walk to Remember')
 those that are still hurting...

 (Prayers offered by our first responders)
and families that are still trying to make sense of what happened.
 
 May we always remember
those that Give of themselves and their lives...

Whether on American soil, or on foreign soil.

We have our freedom, because they give up theirs.
 

We live with our families... because they give up theirs.
 

Terrorist came to destroy,  but our country drew together,
and is working to rebuild.
 
May we never forget why...
 
Love,
Catrina
