A Plant Tip

It's time to plant bright colors and gardens as the winters harshness is now in our past. If your into recycling and reusing, this is a great idea to help save the planet, and put some extra cash in your pocket!

We have some large planters that we have decided to put these beautiful pink roses in.

To save money on soil we have reused some empty plastic bottles, and filled up the planters about half way. Now add your soil and other products that you might want to use.










The plastic bottles help to not only save money and recycle(reuse), but they also make the bigger planters not so heavy so that you can move them around more often!

This all was Blake's idea, what an earth friendly man!

WILL UPDATE SOON.

We are recording a lot, i will start updating on progress! Hopefully have some stuff up and lots of concerts this summer!

A Cowboy named Eddie.

In my most recent blog I took a picture of one of the spaces above our bed. In the space was this painting of a cowboy that we found when we moved in. (The house we moved into belonged to Blake's grandparents.)

Come to find out, this was not just a random person, this picture is of Blake's dads brother, Eddie, who died when he was around 18. We thought it was really neat how we found this.

A couple weeks later, I was cleaning out more places in the house and came across this picture...As you can see, it is the actual photograph taken years ago that the painting was copied from. I really have no idea who painted it, and the back of the picture reads some company in Healdton, Oklahoma that does not exist anymore.

Look at the people in the background, they are not protected by a gate at all, the painting has a gate around the arena.











My brother Josh's girlfriend's father does really awesome things with pictures, and I had him make 3 of these tile pictures for Blake's dad and his uncles. Something that they can remember their brother by who unfortunately left them all so early. They are pretty big, and they put the old pieces of wood around them as the frame, rustic. Love it!

So wonderful we came across these, here is the website were you can reach Mr. Fuller to get some neat things made from your pics, even these awesome wall mount tiled pics like we got.

Green and Unique Decorating

I love old photo frames. This is one of my uses that I have had hanging up forever that I just wanted to show. Found this old frame about 5 years or so ago and I painted it. Then I bought the 2 peace sign hooks at a local shop, and just hung them up and then put the frame around them. So cute.

Another thing I love doing is putting random objects together on a wall. Like the walls above our bed.  Its fun to stagger, and put things that are of different colors, fabrics, styles together and make it your own. Pictures mix well in too with this kind of showcase! As you can see I have 2 paintings there as well. So be creative and who cares what you hang up, its your space and your style!

Good news.

It has been a long time since I have written. I am a busy person. My 1 year MRI follow up for the medicine I am taking for my Multiple Sclerosis showed positive notes. It read that the disease was currently inactive. Amen. Thank you God. I knew He had my back, He always does.

I was emailed an article about a doctor who had MS. She became confined to her wheelchair and had to use two canes to get to the bathroom. She decided she needed to find a way to be better. She did a lot of research and found that people with MS have a need for certain Vitamins, and she started taking them, and eating a raw food diet. She reversed her MS in 9 months and now she is able to ride a bike and is very active. So with that being said. I have decided to do the same. I have bought Fish Oil,  Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin D, which my doctor had already told me I needed to take, Lecithin, which I have been taking already also, because I read in a book about MS that it was good for me. The truth is, if people would just start eating like our ancestors did before fast food, processed foods, etc, disease would be less and health would be more. I am also giving my son 1000 u of Vitamin D a day. It was recommended since I have MS. Keep him from possibly EVER acquiring this disease.
