Summer Was Fun But Winter Is Back!

If someone had told me I would be wearing shorts and tshirt so in February here in Eastern Tennessee I would have laughed especially since the last few winters we have been here it was our snowiest month.  We did have temperatures in the 80's for a couple of weeks.  Then March moved in and although it started like a lamb it quickly changed into a lion.  Winter has returned and will stick around for a little while but we know that it won't last long because Spring is only a couple weeks away.  Looking forward to Spring!

Making A Decorative Plate

I see that the Craft stores sell charchers  all year long and now Dollar Tree also sells them.  Not the greatest quality but for what I use them for it is a good price.  Charchers are plates that go under dinner plates when a table is set.  I have never used them but my mom use to.  I am using them now as decorations.  It started with Christmas plates then I made one for Valentines and now for St. Patrick's Day.  It is a fun and easy way to decorate.

"The Shape Of Water"

"The Shape Of Water" is the big winner of the Oscars (the Academy Awards).  This movie not only won Best Picture but also the most awards with 4 Oscars.  The movie was nominated 13 times in the various categories.  "Dunkirk" won three Oscars followed by "Blade Runner 2049 ", " Coco", "Darkesr Hour " and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" all with 2 Oscars each.
The show itself was long and had a few good moments but in general was just a typical awards show. One bright spot was having Warren Beaty and Faye Dunaway present Best Picture and last year's flub when the wrong movie was announced.  Overall, it was good. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners.  Now it is time to see a lot of the winning movies.

It's Oscars Night

I have always enjoyed watching the Oscars, the Academy Awards, because I do love the movies.  I think that same love comes from watching them with my mom for years too. She loved movies like I do and so we always watched them together when we could.  I have seen some of the movies that are nominated and there are several I still want to see.  Tonight it will be interesting to see what movies and actors win and figure out which movies I really do want to see.  Bring on the Oscars!

The Greatest Bag Clip...Ever!

The greatest bag clip ever and it isn't a clip? I have purchased several different types of bag clips to keep things fresh but my sister sent me the greatest bag clip.  It is actually a rod that you slip over the fold of a bag.  It completely seals the bag to keep the contents fresh like they were just opened every time.  The only drawback is there cannot be wrinkles in the bag.  They come in four different sizes and you can get them on Amazon.  I have not seen these in stores...yet!  They name on the package of "clips" is Fancer and they are worth every penny.  Thanks Pam for introducing them to me.

Game Night

We went and saw the movie "Game Night" and it was fun and cute.  It had humor, mystery, a twist and lots of characters.  If you want a fun movie to see where you can just relax for a couple of hours check out "Game Night" and if you use to have game nights you will especially enjoy this movie.  We use to do game nights and I think I may have to start again because it is fun!
We had a busy day yesterday with a "Costco Run", dinner out and then a movie.  A full but fun day!

I Have The Best Sister!

I know I am extremely blessed to have the best sister ever.  Not only does she love me unconditionally but she also spoils me too!  Without me even knowing she has sent me three packages in the past 14 days.  The first one was some restaurant gift cards to use just because.  The next package was vinyl for my Cricut, these really cool bag clips (which I will blog on soon) and a new accessory for my Instant Pot (yet another blog).  Two days ago I received my third box from Stampin Up with some great items.  Like I said, I have the best sister ever!  Thank you Pam for both your love and support.  Check out the goodies she sent from Stampin Up!
