There are times in this old stone house that when it thunders outside the sound is muffled and sounds like a rumble that echos. Right now the skies are grey with rain lightly dropping from the heavens. Temperatures are cooler today than they were this past week-end. The weather was so pleasant. Loved this. This is our FALL. Here in Kansas it won't last long before it gets bitter cold. It's nice to be inside.
HomeHaven needs some tender loving care. How did I help beautify my Home and make it a more comfortable Haven?
Did some down sizing this week-end while turning loose of some clutter. More dEcLuTtErInG on the way. I have a pile of my clothing that will go to the GOODWILL or SALVATION ARMY. Truly, I want to go through all my clothes and thin them out.
My hubby's dress shirts for work are showing their age. Newer ones would be a blessing for Fall and Winter. Came across a very nice and clean garage sale this past Friday. I walked away carrying in my arms 14 shirts that cost me $25. My sweetheart will sure look nicer at work wearing these very nice shirts to make money so we can eat.
Four short sleeve and ten long sleeves. All shirts are NAME BRANDS that are gently used with hues of dark blues, reds and greens.
They look brand new. The lady said the shirts had all been dry cleaned and starched.
Happy Shopping you all,
~Deanna~

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
the works of the Lord.
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.

SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)

HOME HAVEN LILIES ON THE PRAIRIE
LUKE 12: 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
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
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

Hi Deanna,

Hi! D, sounds like you are in the middle of all your stuff, like I have been mine, wow! I don't think it ever gets all done! Nice garage sale find! hope this finds you feeling good!
Way to go!!
Way to go Deanna...I'm proud of you. Doesn't it feel so good to thin out the stuff and get organized? And I am sure your hubby will appreciate your thriftiness when he wears all of his nice new shirts. You are on top of things sista! (:>)
Take care! Don't overdo it...we want you to recover and gain our strength.

Wonderful that you found those shirts for your husband AND ready to wear! I have been looking to buy a new light weight jacket. I found what looks like a brand new one at a thrift store and I was thrilled to save the money! Have a restful night.
Dd,
So appreciate the new shirts. I'm wearing on of the dark red long sleeved ones right now. A Dockers shirt.
From the look and feel of it, I'm not sure that it has ever been worn. And to think you only had to spend $2 instead of $40. Wowzer. I'm so very glad to have "new" shirts to choose from. Thank you thrifty shopper!
