The Blind side hits home

I usually don't comment on movies but when one touches you so closely maybe you should share! This is the best movie that I have seen in a long time and I highly recommend it. My godson who I love as my own plays football for The Georgia Bulldogs and this story hits so close to home with me. He is black and we are a white family but with him we don't see color-he is just a part of our family like my other children. Yes I use to get stares and comments behind my back but have gotten completely use to them. We still get funny stares when he comes home from college and goes to eat lunch with his "little sister" who is blond haired and blue eyed but for the most part people are getting use to it. I wouldn't care if they didn't because I love him and he loves us! How great would this world be if everyone could love someone of the other race as much as we love him!

RIP UGA VII

It's a sad day in the Bulld0g Nation. We have lost our beloved mascot UGA VII. May he rest in peace. Even though this was only his second season with us, he was well loved and represented us proudly!!

GO DAWGS!!!!

Ok It's time for me to be a proud mama!! My godson who I love like my own scored his first touchdown Saturday as a college football player! He is a wide receiver (#28) for the Georgia Bulldogs. This game was special to us in more ways than just that. Chance Veazey who is a baseball player at Georgia was involved in a serious accident 2 1/2 weeks ago. He has suffered a very traumatic spinal cord injury and is now at the Shepherds spinal hospital in Atlanta. Chance is from my home town also and he and my godson were very close and played baseball together in high school. The Georgia Bulldog football team decided to show their support for Chance by putting a baseball sticker with CV on it on their helmets. I just thought it was very fitting that at this dedication game that my godson scored the first TD!! Oh, by the way, We beat Auburn!! Go Dawgs!! You can keep up with Chance's progress at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/chanceveazey

Give away instructions!

Hello all! Ok I am desperately seeking new followers. I thought that maybe a good way to get some was to host a give away. Can somebody tell me how to do this and I will do one. Going shopping this weekend! Can pick up something really cute!!!

Fall tablescape and decorating

I absolutely love decorating this time of year. Here is my fall tablescape and some fall decorating I have done. Some of the pictures are a little dark~~Sorry! Hope ya'll enjoy them! If you see what you like, i would love to have new followers~~so follow me!! ENOY!! This is my dining room table. I made the burlap runner and frayed the edges. The china is something my husband inherited from his mother. It is wild Turkey by Johnson Brothers.

Full view.

And another!

The little pumpkin place card holders were purchased at Hobby Lobby for $5.00 for a set of 4.

Another view. I love beaded pumpkins! Just the right touch of elegance.

This is a top view of the china. Beautiful isn't it! My kids already fight over who it's gonna go to next!

This is an acorn candle ring. The candle holder is from Southern Living at Home.

Fall arrangement on coffee table.

Front door.

Another view. I purchase this beaded garland at Hobby Lobby for only $5.00 a strand. i bought the only 4 they had. When I asked the salesperson what the price was because there was no price tag on them and he told me $5.00 I said "are you sure" and he said " yeah some of the pumpkins have fallen off." Hey I have a glue gun!!

These topiary are made from the hollow foam pumpkin and wrapped with a fall leave garland from the Dollar Tree. I cut a hole in the bottom of the small pumpkin so the stem of the large one could fit up into it and it would sit level. Beautiful!! The urns are mine that I have had for a while and are concrete. i just spray painted them black.

Fall wreath for my front door that I purchased at Wal mart for $19.95!

Close up of the beaded pumpkin garland.
