I Tried!!!

With an old gown, a string of pearls and a little girl...I gave it my best try and then the camera's batteries went dead. Still had a good time. Fun is sometimes just a blur.

Another photo session will have to take place in the near future. Between a fast moving child, a digital camera and a dead battery this was the best I could capture. Hope you have a relaxing week-end. Thank you for stopping by!

I told my daughter , 3 days in a row all the time, I might have to have a happy hour drink everyday!!! just kidding!!!!
Love her!!!!
You are a dear saint to take in your daughter and granddaughter, but I would do it in a New York Minute!!!!!! Start the clock!!!!
My son and his girl friend live with us now, he will be finishing Law School in Arizona, and I guess she is staying too, upon his good news of school here, she found a job also, so it is God's plan!!!!!!
I really like her, she is a strong woman like the rest of us Gibbs girls are!!! So she fits right in!!!!
Have a great day, I have a very busy week-end ahead of me, so will try to blog about it sometime in between!!!! I'm taking Sherry of Country Wings in Phoenix to Sedona next Friday, she has lived in Az for a long time and hasn't seen it yet, so a fun filled day for us is ahead, a little hike, some beautiful scenery a nice lunch with a view to die for and just lots of talking and getting to know each other better, that's what friends are for!!!!
Love ya,
jamie

Hi Deanna !
My, I haven't visited you for a while...I see from your blog , that you have been a busy girl !
Your photo session was so cute - love your model ! If and when you ever buy a different camera, I recommend you buy one with a rechargeable battery - they are slick ! Hope your days in Kansas have been nice, Colorado has been getting alot of rain- some say like Seattle...LOL !

What fun you had, that little girl is a CUTIE PIE!

Linda said...

Deanna,...Your Granddaughter is adorable. I loved all of the pictures,...especially the one with the pearls.

The dress is so sweet...is it made from a antique pillowcase? The trim kind of reminded me of some pretty ones I have seen.

Have a superfantabulous day!

Fun photo shoot, I am sure!

Deanna said...

So glad you all visited me today and commented. This little dress was one of my finds at a Antique Shoppe and I'm not sure it's old at all. I don't think it was made from a pillow case, but wouldn't that be a cute way to reuse pillow cases?!
God Bless and thank you for being a blogging friend,

Hi Deanna,

What a sweet little photograph shoot with your darling grandaughter.
There are some lovely photos and will be good to have.
Young children are so hard to photograph as they are always on the move.

Hugs

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
