Thyme to show you a wonderful SURPRISE from Colleen.......and to ask a favor

The other day I came home to an 

unexpected package in the mail

I cannot tell you

my excitement when I saw that it was

from

Colleen
at
And Baby Makes Five

Colleen makes the most
awesome salt dough

My eyes filled with tears when I opened
this box of
PURE FRIENDSHIP
WHY
you ask?
I was overcome with emotion knowing all
that Colleen is going thru in her life right now
and
she thought of wishing me well in our
Cape Cod home

You see........Colleen is battling
Breast Cancer

Colleen
thru the tears you were able to put a
SMILE
on my face

ALWAYS
remember that
"Each day comes bearing its own GIFTS.......
you just need to remember to untie the ribbons "

~ Ruth Ann Schabacker

And so in untying the ribbons of this
PRECIOUS GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP

I have found a woman who
has
inspired not only myself
BUT
so many other woman
Colleen
you have faced this
MONSTER
called
CANCER
with

Colleen

you and your family 

are in my thoughts and prayers daily

I would like to ask you all to do the same

If you can find it in your hearts to please pray for Colleen

You may take this button and post it on your blogs 

or

post on face book on Fridays

Hugs,

Lynn

Thyme for salt dough stars and firecrackers

I posted this picture several weeks ago
of

some salt dough stars I had made

I

FINALLY

finished painting them!

I painted them

red,white,and blue

I put some on my tree

that is

on the buffet in dining room

I also made some

FIRECRACKERS

I took 3/8" dowels

and cut them into

3 1/2" lengths

and painted them black

I then painted over the black

first paint about 3" of the dowel white

then

paint about 1/2' a navy blue

paint red stripes over the white

REMEMBER

these are suppossed to be

PRIM

so don't worry about exact lines!

drill a hole in top and add some twine

BANG!!!!!!!!

Aren't these great?

I also made up some bags of  bowl fillers

with the stars and firecrackers

I found the tutorial to make

the

FIRECRACKERS

from

Char

at

The Pickled Pepper Patch

you can see it

here

Thanks Char!

Here is the centerpiece I have

on my dining room table

Happy Painting!
