Raising Money for Q97.9 Cans For A Cure

We are all done for this years Q97.9 Cans For A Cure.  We were able to raise $352.00! Just after 8:30 a.m. on Day 3 of Cans for the Cure, 629,054 cans were collected that will yield $31,453 for the Maine Cancer Foundation and the Cancer Community Center.

These are some of the Trees of Life I was selling to raise money.

We are looking forward to next year!

Today when I was at work, I got a text from my son asking if I wanted to going hiking after work. How could I say no to my 16 year old son, who wants to hanging out with his mother!! I will spend time with him when ever he wants!  Knowing soon he won't want to hang out with his old mother hehe.

We had a great time. The smell of Autumn. Having the time to talk with Joshua and hear what he has to say means the world to me. I'm glad we get these times together.   He did a great job taking pictures today to!

A great way to end a Monday! 

Weekend Projects

Here are some new pendants!

This one is an autumn tree with a copper bird.

A tree by the water on a sunny day!

Night time owl tree of life.

Cherry Blossom branch!

I was also working on furniture today!

Switching It Up!

I have been making round Tree of Life pendents for a while now.  So I'm going to start making rectangle one for something a little different.

I really have to pick up more brown wire for my trees. I love the way it looks.

I also think the bird give it a nice touch.

I have some flowers I'm going to try out on my next set of tree!

Please give me some feed back! I would love to hear what you think of my work, even if it's things you don't like. It's the only way I will get better !

Corner Cupboard

Here is the Corner Cupboard all finished. 

I really enjoyed doing this one. Its been awhile since I worked with paint and wax. 

I'm so glad my wonderful husband found this at a yard sale!!

This is where it began. 

Hope everyone had a great Monday!  Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds!

Crazy Busy Weekend

Saturday morning started out with a Homecoming Parade.  My nephew Nathan was  in it with his youth football team. It was a great turn out! 

Each high school class worked on their class floats.

You can't have football with cheerleaders! 

The parade ends at the football field and started a little after. The Home team won!! After the game it was time to get ready for the Homecoming Dance. Josh made my eyes water when I saw him. He is turning out to be a well rounded young man! I'm so proud of him and how far he has come.

Joshua and his date Katie. I think they make a very cute couple, but they just went as friends.

Sunday it was a beautiful day but I will have to say...... I never went out. I worked all day in the basement working on long over do projects.  Here is a sneak peek at whats to come!

Black shelf needed to be scuffed and waxed.

Here is a corner cupboard that my loving husband picked up at a yard sale for only $5.00.  Can't wait for you to see how it comes out!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Would love to hear how yours was in my comments!!

This morning I was getting worried because not many people were getting a hold of me about donations.  By noon I was getting messages for can drop offs and people wanting to buy necklaces.

We have our first total...... $117.00!!  It's crazy how many people are effected by Breast Cancer!   Everyone that has bought my Breast Cancer Tree Of Life necklaces knows someone who has had cancer,  fighting it or them themselves have it. It's hard sometimes because you hear the stories of passed loved ones, and what they meant to everyone.  You hear the stories of how they or their loved one are fighting the battle. The best stories are the ones who are now cancer free! That is why we raise the money for the Cancer Foundation!  We need help fight this battle and win!
