Good Grief Girdie's blog

wondering............

some of you have asked about my not blogging lately...........well here is what I have been up to.....a little redecorating.............out with the dark and in with the light..........I've made pillows, painted everything I can think of that was dark now it is a light ivory color with a light mocha glaze....

this articoke lamp use to be black..........

these tall buffet lamps use to be black with leopard shades.........now a little lighter.......

And addressing wedding reception invitations..........

I know this is just a glimpse of what I have been up to and I hope to get everything finished up soon....after 12 years of the same look I decided it was a great time to update.........I still have so much to do before the wedding reception here in October..........I keep crossing things off the list and it is getting shorter.........I will share full photos when I am finished........

Don't worry I still have some color left in this house........!

And I will be teaching more classes after October.......so just hang with me girls!  First things first and this has been the longest I have gone not teaching.  I miss it and miss all of you but with the way the summer started out with health issues and now wedding plans I just had to give it up for a while.  I promise to have some fun holiday classes!

And for those of you who have not signed up for the Paper Crown weekend with Debbie Schuh you will miss a great opporutnity to take a class from this talented lady!  Call the store today to sign up for one of her wonderful classes.  If you want to drop by the store to see the samples, they came in yesterday so you will have something to get excited about if you were on the fence about signing up!

Make it a great thursday!  And thank you for understanding about my absence on this blog and my classes at the PC..................

swirling wedding ideas................

These photos were all taken off  Pinterest............you can usually find what you are looking for on pinterest and much more...........I think this is why my head is swirling with ideas.....I hope to incorporate some of these for our sons upcoming wedding!  I will post photos of course after the wedding and the reception this fall!  Great days and fun days ahead!

Now you know what is taking up some of my time this summer.......and I'm just the mother of the groom!

Happy wednesday!

you know your a redneck when.................

you spend your anniversary evening with Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty!!!!!  

FCA ( Fellowship of Christian Athletes) sponsored the evening and the dealership bought two tables.  You know it was really a fun evening and not your typical anniversary, but after 40 years you need to celebrate everyday  whatever comes your way!

And I am addicted to the TV program................and last week their new season started and it was the highest viewing reality show to date!  Now that says something!  If you've never tuned in to Duck Dynasty you need to this wednesday on channel 27!  You will laugh and feel good after you do......... 

Well I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and ready for the new week!  Happy Monday!  

40 years........

25 years

30 years

40 years

Wow........how the years have gone by fast!  And you can tell we have aged......wrinkles, grey hair and just tired looking, but it has been a wonderful 40 years!  This weekend we will be celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary!  We are keeping it low key...........like we usually do!  

Happy Anniversary Mr. Tom........love you!  

coffee and donuts

You know your starting the morning off right with a good cup of coffee, fresh donuts and friends!  And that is exactly what happened this morning!  About 15-20 miles from Oklahoma City is a little town called Guthrie.........it is pretty small but they have two of the most important things on my list,  a great little coffee shop called Hoboken and a wonderful donut shop called Missy's.......

If you are ever close you HAVE to stop!  Many of you know I can smell a good donut shop a long way out and so can these two!  We all LOVE donuts!  I told them when we got back in the car, you know your getting old when you get excited about food.............anyway we did have a great time sitting at Hoboken Coffee eating our donuts outside!

This was Ginnie's fancy latte!

I don't know about you but this is how I would spend every morning if I could.............! 

Hope you all are enjoying your wednesday.................

are you ready for a wonderful creative weekend............

The Paper Crown is privileged to have the talented Debbie Schuh coming for a weekend full of creative fun September 6 & 7.  Don't wait to long these classes are filling up fast........ call the store to sign up now for these wonderful classes 405-848-2389.   I promise you won't be disappointed!  Let's show Debbie a warm welcome to Oklahoma.  If you want more info about Debbie and the classes you can hit the Paper Crown sidebar on this blog to find out the dates/times/cost!
