It's been months and months since I've shared Five Friday Favorites with you, excited for this roundup today! Emily is coming home for Spring Break today (for a few days at least before she heads out with friends) and I'm working on an upcoming campaign that Caleb and Kenzi are a part of, excited to be with all of them today! But let's get on with some current favorites first...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQzw9AN_72NgFSQfomk3DBqAGotJq3ivFgkYtgRV4DbpRR4LD-ZX04ew5F5bZRiQYBT3DMrcibc7nrmPHyzL_tE7TwR23LUmJLHnSis_OPTarlGGWegOHiWCuBrjYuZu2oIpSCP4Mgn06BwL0yC8lqrY4mRIAcA0llnSgFMbCS8usUJDibIeSHWD0qVsm6/s1984/COLLAGE.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1984" data-original-width="1488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQzw9AN_72NgFSQfomk3DBqAGotJq3ivFgkYtgRV4DbpRR4LD-ZX04ew5F5bZRiQYBT3DMrcibc7nrmPHyzL_tE7TwR23LUmJLHnSis_OPTarlGGWegOHiWCuBrjYuZu2oIpSCP4Mgn06BwL0yC8lqrY4mRIAcA0llnSgFMbCS8usUJDibIeSHWD0qVsm6/s16000/COLLAGE.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I've had <a href="https://rstyle.me/+fn3TiTo6_1u9oraDxO8kPQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these white jeans</a> for quite a while and they are winners! I prefer this slightly flared silhouette to a the wide-leg trend. They have enough stretch to be comfortable but they hold their shape and don't stretch out after a few hours. I'm 5'7" and these are the regular length on me. They are just right for sneakers or sandals but I also wear them to church often with heels and the length still works for those too. I am usually an 8 or 10 in pants depending on style and brand, and I'm wearing a 10 in these. They are higher waisted but not too high- they hit right at my belly button, so if you have a bit of a tummy I'd recommend sizing up if you're in between. <div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi19JK8EYA6hJaHmZ1YIxfK0nq8n6B8nXY2WnDV1K1LqFCtSrOq8811a9DO85FrXnEYKL588q6khfRambs0ImaiwPsLjw9vB1upcp1s2aeBKkvPCCA-tgqIpVOsvi6kEJNWMrl3ZJAOLrP3R8tpcMyHm0d8OQnuKb3QqJXpYh3X8r8dq1Cw3seYz1DCAwco/s1600/white%20jeans.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi19JK8EYA6hJaHmZ1YIxfK0nq8n6B8nXY2WnDV1K1LqFCtSrOq8811a9DO85FrXnEYKL588q6khfRambs0ImaiwPsLjw9vB1upcp1s2aeBKkvPCCA-tgqIpVOsvi6kEJNWMrl3ZJAOLrP3R8tpcMyHm0d8OQnuKb3QqJXpYh3X8r8dq1Cw3seYz1DCAwco/s16000/white%20jeans.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+mmho5N50ILMpCPD08zbb2Q" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hat</a> || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+fn3TiTo6_1u9oraDxO8kPQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Jeans </a> || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+v5UYs_9HV821xOfLeXc4JQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Heart Necklace </a> || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+B1zADnZUJcfaNBS70DziDQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CZ Necklace</a> || (Disc Necklace- old) || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+z1TyUO_-hAQOnfUquEcMnA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Earrings</a> || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+O0EKtoGjuv_g6H_qz6a1DQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Denim Shirt</a> <a href="https://rstyle.me/+wcnTZ5UST5xzRRP0P0vnNw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bead Bracelets </a> || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+BeIBWC9-wS1Pg3v2a2Lqkw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sandals</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This is what I'm actually wearing today so I snapped a quick photo, and when I looked them up to share I saw that they are on a huge sale today... <a href="https://rstyle.me/+fn3TiTo6_1u9oraDxO8kPQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">under $20!!!</a> They come in 5 colors and I've ordered a few more this week.

It's actually a tough assignment to find good supportive shoes that are still cute and stylish! I stumbled on these <a href="https://rstyle.me/+EDbQTXgh-i846qpv_XHv9g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">fit flop sandals</a> (<a href="https://rstyle.me/+BeIBWC9-wS1Pg3v2a2Lqkw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">also available here</a>) and I really like them! I think they've been very comfortable, and I like the woven tops especially as Summer approaches. Some of the reviews aren't great (I'm totally happy with them!), many do suggest they run big. My normal size was fine for me- but I have big feet and while roomy I don't feel like they are too big. You might want to go a half size down though if you're not sure. Several colors available.

Well... this morning I noticed that Anthropologie has a huge extra 40% off their Sale section going, and I couldn't resist combing through it to share with you! The best things and deals will go fast (two things in my cart sold out before I finished shopping), so I didn't want to wait until tomorrow to share with you. So, Spring Porch tomorrow... promise! š (Product photos are interactive, just click on one if you are interested in seeing details about the item.)</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-size: x-large;"><i>Home</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">So many good things here! Many of the things I chose were with the thought that they would be great gifts to stock up on, you can never go wrong with a beautiful book or something useful like the darling $9 dishcloth sets. Now that my shoulder is better, I want to try playing pickle ball... maybe one of these darling paddles will help motivate me to get started- ha! </div></span><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

(Click here for <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2023/12/2023-christmas-home-tour-porch-and-entry.html" target="_blank">Part 1</a> and <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2023/12/2023-christmas-home-tour-dining-room.html" target="_blank">Part 2</a> if you missed them.) I continued to concentrate on red, pink and green accents where I could, but I can't help but have lots of other colors in the mix as well. I know I'm coming in under the wire sharing these tours with you so late this year but I've had personal commitments that have put this on the back burner. So, I hope you'll enjoy just soaking it in this year even though it's too late to give you any ideas for your decorations this year, but considering pinning and saving what you might want to remember for next year! </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqke4CCDOdVpSwTbnyZWUqVcL860VYWAjxCT07vOKzQMgSYrUsDZ8IA1qKyIbM4cxN7kFK_dFzdO6wkUT46imW4-e8kme1k0_v0eU8IWHOGdRC3sYBkZUb8ROfCDZFVekw6CXQ6fmha2yNhA8Vq57SIKLSQP74f9TGyRJh-xLlFoCQR2a0YIBDBWakWMxy/s1800/flocked%20christmas%20tree%20hot%20pink%20velvet%20%20chairs.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqke4CCDOdVpSwTbnyZWUqVcL860VYWAjxCT07vOKzQMgSYrUsDZ8IA1qKyIbM4cxN7kFK_dFzdO6wkUT46imW4-e8kme1k0_v0eU8IWHOGdRC3sYBkZUb8ROfCDZFVekw6CXQ6fmha2yNhA8Vq57SIKLSQP74f9TGyRJh-xLlFoCQR2a0YIBDBWakWMxy/s16000/flocked%20christmas%20tree%20hot%20pink%20velvet%20%20chairs.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm not going to comment much, there are a lot of photos so just enjoy scrolling! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpXKBdDv1l8vCoZjFD7vQ2sQlEvUbsqTtRwkJsoHX2RTzcfsGekhibwgHqz5b8LeAFDynNdJFNpCurgiqW7ttJGTf0dKyoSVNSnMGWeVKjySDLvy24sDMH0JNe_lkKMro1l7Ei26_otV3QZbgoRzrA1RP8cmIK-xFI4RCxTQkh7K8BRf-tPeu4tcx-wpj/s1800/full%20living%20room%20christmas%20decorations.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpXKBdDv1l8vCoZjFD7vQ2sQlEvUbsqTtRwkJsoHX2RTzcfsGekhibwgHqz5b8LeAFDynNdJFNpCurgiqW7ttJGTf0dKyoSVNSnMGWeVKjySDLvy24sDMH0JNe_lkKMro1l7Ei26_otV3QZbgoRzrA1RP8cmIK-xFI4RCxTQkh7K8BRf-tPeu4tcx-wpj/s16000/full%20living%20room%20christmas%20decorations.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I brought the green mirror back in that I haven't used in the past few years- It actually paired with an old dresser that we bought years ago at a yard sale but after painting it green I've always liked using it on the mantel. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbq8AJLWZXXxjh8CWu9UAzLVsbA8BJoKLkDyXmUlgCFQN1yFyXg8wg4UCP26-g4hb6RUCdhekbgxizErE4W9207E4NRAt1rdSRg702QNq16UenUFuufij-u9ExuOcqLnY8d3WhzmKeEQiH_qXLEAoOY1sOeU-D_77rNTttJy6CbWKUrB5Lyri-HTLud5-g/s2973/christmas%20mantel%20vintage%20ceramic%20choir%20boys%20shiny%20brite%20garland.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2973" data-original-width="1982" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbq8AJLWZXXxjh8CWu9UAzLVsbA8BJoKLkDyXmUlgCFQN1yFyXg8wg4UCP26-g4hb6RUCdhekbgxizErE4W9207E4NRAt1rdSRg702QNq16UenUFuufij-u9ExuOcqLnY8d3WhzmKeEQiH_qXLEAoOY1sOeU-D_77rNTttJy6CbWKUrB5Lyri-HTLud5-g/s16000/christmas%20mantel%20vintage%20ceramic%20choir%20boys%20shiny%20brite%20garland.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://amzn.to/478XFID" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fluffy satin table runner</a> bows mixed in with my regular satin and gingham ribbon anchor the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+M53auVO39bxhQZ2qWu9xOQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">flocked garland</a>, adorned with ornament clusters and small bead garlands I've collected over the past few years. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6kCGJ6FZ7qqmh-l0gayvdW5UaLtpgvC8B1QbKR4xZ2vO0VB5VJmeVrsVWjvkbKjyXqF2XZmwnI6Aw2JrRsRduXFfgb9NMsk21ac_OowEVQelQSAwEoo2e6fDUNCClbzG4wP7BlD93QmrnYPhH7Cp5mon310gACpxjziZpMrlHkI36yp-UPY5Np4696SS/s1800/christmas%20mantle%20satin%20and%20gingham%20bow%20flocked%20garland.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6kCGJ6FZ7qqmh-l0gayvdW5UaLtpgvC8B1QbKR4xZ2vO0VB5VJmeVrsVWjvkbKjyXqF2XZmwnI6Aw2JrRsRduXFfgb9NMsk21ac_OowEVQelQSAwEoo2e6fDUNCClbzG4wP7BlD93QmrnYPhH7Cp5mon310gACpxjziZpMrlHkI36yp-UPY5Np4696SS/s16000/christmas%20mantle%20satin%20and%20gingham%20bow%20flocked%20garland.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">You might remember the vintage choir boys from last year's tour.

I bought <a href="https://rstyle.me/+-xL96pLgtNMj3tACcFO-Ug" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">a new tree</a> (currently already 1/2 price!) this year and we are really enjoying it. The branches/needles are much shorter than my previous tree so it's so much easier to hang things on them. I hung some of my paper stars along the curtain rod to frame the tree- a little hard to see but you get the idea! (Some pics are a little off on colors- it was SO cloudy and gloomy for days when I was ready for photograph, I had to do the best I could with lighting. Planning to reshoot a few if we get some sun but I didn't want to wait any longer to show you photos!)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZRoAjtd9vjhVcm3rHHVhOYb9TOnLp5Fy1jxqQljSQ1lQnjGpb0JpKlxcJLGOmByQF9tZupkaQV0DpCkh7Tu3CdLlGGonUP9bmxABTmIVU8FFetiKRn4HQg1w4Nw8FmkpyE8fHlsEMHUnXqHQxFTBFZ0qksZUIasQe2CCWSeoqABuv68bvaJ3SR-1HhQq8/s1800/christmas%20tree.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZRoAjtd9vjhVcm3rHHVhOYb9TOnLp5Fy1jxqQljSQ1lQnjGpb0JpKlxcJLGOmByQF9tZupkaQV0DpCkh7Tu3CdLlGGonUP9bmxABTmIVU8FFetiKRn4HQg1w4Nw8FmkpyE8fHlsEMHUnXqHQxFTBFZ0qksZUIasQe2CCWSeoqABuv68bvaJ3SR-1HhQq8/s16000/christmas%20tree.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I try to have one larger "accent" ornament or decoration on my tree every year.

They don't photograph well, especially on the flocked tree (the colorful bows tied on help a little with that), but I love the sparkle they add in real life- and when the sun hits the ones I hung in the back or sides we have quite a light show in the living room! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI3BvPPRnm9KZ0SKE2kNLxFr6EyGieJcx_rUkLE-rtzHkZhzRPK-mu7KP5eZdxyV6swKraU5A282N4IRaArmSK4Mit5BEG_qZf6w9Ot9xuVjshLn9YXzYtsov2qtsyPYFUFVO7YCQFxId16J79U4MvjYNKILhtUQFenQhMYSMJL6flkG7QPWmrZnNX8Pfy/s1800/disco%20ball%20tree%20ornament%20shiny%20brite%20ornaments.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI3BvPPRnm9KZ0SKE2kNLxFr6EyGieJcx_rUkLE-rtzHkZhzRPK-mu7KP5eZdxyV6swKraU5A282N4IRaArmSK4Mit5BEG_qZf6w9Ot9xuVjshLn9YXzYtsov2qtsyPYFUFVO7YCQFxId16J79U4MvjYNKILhtUQFenQhMYSMJL6flkG7QPWmrZnNX8Pfy/s16000/disco%20ball%20tree%20ornament%20shiny%20brite%20ornaments.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I also really love the<a href="https://rstyle.me/+JUuTSeahW7mP6bvbFeZOoA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> felt poinsettias </a>that I added this year.

It's in a simple frame, but for the larger frame I wrapped a piece of wrapping paper around the backer board and then used little little drops of hot glue in the corners of the elf frame to secure it to the larger frame.

I'm excited to share Part 2 of my Christmas home with you, click here for <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2023/12/2023-christmas-home-tour-porch-and-entry.html" target="_blank">Part 1</a> and <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2023/12/2023-christmas-home-tour-christmas-tree.html" target="_blank">Part 3</a> if you missed them. I still have quite a variety of colors, but this year I'm highlighting pink and green in a few spaces more prominently, but red is still strong in the mix as an accent color too. We'll get to the table in a moment, but if you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that a little white back I snagged a pair of<a href="https://rstyle.me/+6zhFD29y4ITZ5M1SKpNmIg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> the elusive giant nutcrackers</a> that flew off the shelves (after searching availability in neighboring towns where I could do a pick up then a morning road trip to round them up!). I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them at the time but knew they would find a home.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVdToIg8siBdi7NJC57TaWeWGPzwHaNY52hyphenhyphen7xZT_upEaGd1O2XqBEg4ERBZ9J_yQwmezgYS5Bz5rBZyhU5ewKZ4qYIBUMHrYnwqzzlBeaFSx8OCeabUbDIlu2gA0dnsM9CouIu48vR-bDz72QalVlo66pe8ApkarbLNE5IigDrpI3spsqUy4VWUvU51Ma/s1800/christmas%20dining%20room%20decorations%20with%206%20foot%20walmart%20nutcrackers.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVdToIg8siBdi7NJC57TaWeWGPzwHaNY52hyphenhyphen7xZT_upEaGd1O2XqBEg4ERBZ9J_yQwmezgYS5Bz5rBZyhU5ewKZ4qYIBUMHrYnwqzzlBeaFSx8OCeabUbDIlu2gA0dnsM9CouIu48vR-bDz72QalVlo66pe8ApkarbLNE5IigDrpI3spsqUy4VWUvU51Ma/s16000/christmas%20dining%20room%20decorations%20with%206%20foot%20walmart%20nutcrackers.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>And they did! I love them in this spot flanking the china cabinet. I didn't worry about any of the artwork behind them, just set them in front of what was there.

Well... still working away over here. I so wanted to be finished by now but you know, LIFE and unexpected things pop up so I'm going with the flow. I know for sure I'll be sharing tours with you all next week, though! In the mean time, I have one more quick DIY project to share, so glad you all liked <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2023/11/christmas-bell-ornament-makeover.html" target="_blank">the bells I shared last time</a>! I've been getting the porch and outside spaces all decorated. For winter I put all of my other planters away except for the urns but it leaves a "bare" spot on my porch... especially considering one of the (only) decorating rules I always follow- things look better in groups of 3! (or odd numbered groupings) I had the idea that stacking some packages in the blank spot would be cute, but wanted something that would hold up to the elements outdoors. Actually what spurred this thought was my window boxes were awfully bare after a few freezes and I thought it would be cute to fill them with small "Christmas gifts" and ornaments. Just needed something that would be waterproof! <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Yt87OpSjq3u0h5u_DTG7XzAVedxN5y09oOl6aLL1Hj0L95bo717kGKFUWEtHKh06IwTZEhwHCttLlYTHg5GFP_k5t7w9VEaubledNBUp41kOlinrIrEz40ossqCWdi36F7atExBtkoJGZ92akurQQsUtWrOUII_ZaAtuXqhK9V7gNf-QY_JjCyRUQ9hB/s1600/concrete%20porch%20lion.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Yt87OpSjq3u0h5u_DTG7XzAVedxN5y09oOl6aLL1Hj0L95bo717kGKFUWEtHKh06IwTZEhwHCttLlYTHg5GFP_k5t7w9VEaubledNBUp41kOlinrIrEz40ossqCWdi36F7atExBtkoJGZ92akurQQsUtWrOUII_ZaAtuXqhK9V7gNf-QY_JjCyRUQ9hB/s16000/concrete%20porch%20lion.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After mulling it over for a few days, I decided that I might be able to make some inexpensive plastic tubs work. I stopped by Dollar Tree and chose several different sizes to fit the window boxes and some larger ones for the porch. All that I selected were 1.25 each except for the largest base bin on the porch, it was in another spot of the store for $3. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6HeIPBwDuQgNQekv3YzFToBPq_WnwBILSBFOR5bi05pa-Id0C6VGjS9jbV7YND_0wtb76f_xAQF4EEoujpOqvfmS2UbQ2x7R8XdTR44cdVqn3UH3cAnklFAiBYcg0EAFFStcOM2T7LuTY3cKIGZSezowXqTFKSojcNhXcHdgQ9NrRngYioYDBLAeUv7W/s1884/dollar%20tree%20bins.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1884" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6HeIPBwDuQgNQekv3YzFToBPq_WnwBILSBFOR5bi05pa-Id0C6VGjS9jbV7YND_0wtb76f_xAQF4EEoujpOqvfmS2UbQ2x7R8XdTR44cdVqn3UH3cAnklFAiBYcg0EAFFStcOM2T7LuTY3cKIGZSezowXqTFKSojcNhXcHdgQ9NrRngYioYDBLAeUv7W/s16000/dollar%20tree%20bins.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I knew that I would likely have to change the color of the selection that was available, so I used a few of my favorites and sprayed some of the bins as needed- just the bottom and outsides. Disclaimer... I had to treat these somewhat gently afterwards, spray paint on slick plastic doesn't always adhere for the long haul but if I'm careful working with them it should be fine for this project, and I can touch up over the years if needed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS28HPEHON6_xEa2-xSxJ1c8rPPTBSsmlG8FX4KWtT2uGxV8HABlU8vNfS1tuMECNULvcQjAPV0o-G_5pzSCdZOpslEleICSTO6G5jOOygy03lSo3iyAAkl2R5kwXL5Y2RH3L1djaji68co5M-TMcb698lJCn7PpYAg8iip9_Lt5OnK2BtDk23w4CTG-wP/s1600/spray%20paint%20bins.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS28HPEHON6_xEa2-xSxJ1c8rPPTBSsmlG8FX4KWtT2uGxV8HABlU8vNfS1tuMECNULvcQjAPV0o-G_5pzSCdZOpslEleICSTO6G5jOOygy03lSo3iyAAkl2R5kwXL5Y2RH3L1djaji68co5M-TMcb698lJCn7PpYAg8iip9_Lt5OnK2BtDk23w4CTG-wP/s16000/spray%20paint%20bins.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The cutest (subtle) <a href="https://rstyle.me/+P9UIzRGCqlRZdc5oNE6kMg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sparkle sweatshirt </a> || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+tTiGybz-SZVSn5vtgv38tA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fleece lined joggers</a> || Similar beanie cap<a href="https://rstyle.me/+4-Wb_eIcCThnoiNWd2vKAg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> here</a> or <a href="https://rstyle.me/+qw_NWkoTzplcBDmsCmZppg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+1HAguiJtC1LqRC5_GS8CNg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spotted Sneakers</a> || Rustoleum Spring Green & Krylon Hot Pink Spray Paint</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Once painted, I positioned the stacked boxes for the porch how I wanted them, then I found it helpful to put a few tiny drops of hot glue in the corners to hold them together long enough for me to manipulate them while tying a big bow around them.

She made<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx8Do5hrkeB/" target="_blank"> the most gorgeous piece</a> for the altar that was also used at the reception, I haven't been able to quit thinking about it!

I'm wrapping up this year's table and will share that with you in my next post. Looking back, I realized I've been sharing Fall and Thanksgiving tablescapes with you since 2011, resulting in 15 related posts in the blog archives! I thought it would be nice to have photos and links to all of the Fall themed tables in one post for quick and easy reference. I might just be helping myself here but I hope you find it useful and gather some inspiration if you're preparing to set a Thanksgiving table as well!

I prefer a small manual can opener that I can put in a drawer rather than an electric one on the counter.

Instead we went to spend some time in the mountains but I still used my new bags and really liked them! The sling style a nice alternative to the "belt bag/fanny pack" style. They are fairly small but really do hold a lot! I usually had a few credit cards and cash, gum, sunglasses and regular glasses, my phone, lipstick and pen, and still had room for a few other little things. I got two slightly different styles and liked them both, they would both hold about the same amount. The strap is adjustable and can switch to the left or right depending on which side you want to carry the bag on. The black one does have an open exterior pocket on the back that was nice to quickly slip my phone in and out of, but that's really the only slight advantage to that one I can think of. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0VXsaJJvvPR5bYNh9VDxiLmFJff6Tp9CjDTQ3t7OP_LwAiARxK7MdMWwSk1FZvNGFzfpquo0RB8ktexPfl3WAXVbVu4g98E02FG06wzMRqijhcQ1bas8hqYYZMStCqJlSyDEV6iaAJmnxGRQAHE9sSkbkvPzMpshIY6ToA5RB2bOhIZl1TNd8YgsnuE7t/s1600/amazon%20tan%20crossbody%20bag.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0VXsaJJvvPR5bYNh9VDxiLmFJff6Tp9CjDTQ3t7OP_LwAiARxK7MdMWwSk1FZvNGFzfpquo0RB8ktexPfl3WAXVbVu4g98E02FG06wzMRqijhcQ1bas8hqYYZMStCqJlSyDEV6iaAJmnxGRQAHE9sSkbkvPzMpshIY6ToA5RB2bOhIZl1TNd8YgsnuE7t/s16000/amazon%20tan%20crossbody%20bag.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+PQ55_Jsq2VJDsOiNwL32AA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tan Crossbody Bag </a>|| <a href="https://www.shopltk.com/explore/jenniferdimplesandtangles/posts/6fca0ebc-6af7-11ee-8cdc-0242ac110002" rel="" target="_blank">Other Outfit Details</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJqFBoMnLEXm7fTg5nalnyZYbw56p0NgRY859zplJLNlGL8TZWd8RzZejVVOlwdlf5TNDp5D8UDXlacMJIgXfNIVGXjuqhPd101YPV9qiSdej5HKMzwzQZNTIhMnovNyDKKxt-vJsZBfYILeQtxSX2syMlJaSOc3BbyRlcYg_kG2HWqvi3lu6Vrv1J0cF-/s1817/albuquerque%20hot%20air%20balloon%20fiesta%20jen%20jump.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1817" data-original-width="1152" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJqFBoMnLEXm7fTg5nalnyZYbw56p0NgRY859zplJLNlGL8TZWd8RzZejVVOlwdlf5TNDp5D8UDXlacMJIgXfNIVGXjuqhPd101YPV9qiSdej5HKMzwzQZNTIhMnovNyDKKxt-vJsZBfYILeQtxSX2syMlJaSOc3BbyRlcYg_kG2HWqvi3lu6Vrv1J0cF-/s16000/albuquerque%20hot%20air%20balloon%20fiesta%20jen%20jump.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+SSxG29bOM1krHa-7ijx3aA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Black Crossbody Bag</a> || Puffer Joggers- sold out but<a href="https://rstyle.me/+g4B3y6YqmMfAxYbI_9di7g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> these are VERY similar</a>, love them! || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ch9tJDQ3ryMoqiBUBpXf-Q" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sneakers</a> || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Ew-kQlUmZBVY2RqapPxb-A" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sweatshirt</a> || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+tis_npm2K8HgOgrkHeKkBQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Similar Cap</a></span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>That's is for this week!

My tree isn't out yet, but that doesn't mean I don't have a stash of new things in the garage ready and waiting to decorate with! Today I've rounded up some of my favorite Christmas decorations that I'm frequently asked to source. Often the same seasonal things aren't readily available from year to year, but I was pleased to find many things that I've bought and used in the past few years available once again this year, so I thought you might appreciate me sharing those with you! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh1zmOWC0l6yUc50l7CncGTaBdIlMYHY9xgCgkgIzqo9rup-SQ2EfsQBZabTOkFZqhbXxibJgP8iS818TdCLg9VJ0lVFt8V6fKLu_fEw8PrnWgbwZpJe9d0gEYo2p2WN85stbL56tgzuyeMSxlG25iceRYU4GSfMAYvUryxVz_VpXs2Cwyei-aaEiWoUSF/s1770/christmas%20tree%20pink%20blue%20green%20red.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1770" data-original-width="1180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh1zmOWC0l6yUc50l7CncGTaBdIlMYHY9xgCgkgIzqo9rup-SQ2EfsQBZabTOkFZqhbXxibJgP8iS818TdCLg9VJ0lVFt8V6fKLu_fEw8PrnWgbwZpJe9d0gEYo2p2WN85stbL56tgzuyeMSxlG25iceRYU4GSfMAYvUryxVz_VpXs2Cwyei-aaEiWoUSF/s16000/christmas%20tree%20pink%20blue%20green%20red.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2022/12/2022-christmas-home-tour-living-room.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Last Year's Christmas Living Room Tour</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Some of my favorite pieces in recent years have come from the Packed Party for Walmart line, and I was pleased to see that many pieces I have are available once again this year.

Today I have a quick post to show you how I assembled my pumpkin door hanger in lieu of a traditional Fall wreath. I got all of my supplies at Hobby Lobby but you might already have quite a bit of what you need if you want to create a similar door hanger. <br /><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsvN7COibVC6dCsGIZbJwOOCTfRDOI8sD9CcjUbxsvbECBTWqbC79ZfB2Ugpka6PPw42J4G_9uD3Fg7aP7nVzDuYznC259tj4WodMphZKSIsi3NZTLKhOdcBF8GXO2YuEPWTn-dBccLpHg5_Y4RmuQQTkkB7vnRH8P7bQXK5cw7ofoqh4GThcmoEU3mZnA/s1600/Fall%20pumkin%20basket%20door%20hanger%20front%20door%20wreath.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Round Woven Wall Hanger with wood pumpkin attached, layered with faux fall flowers and leopard, gingham, and polka dot bows" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsvN7COibVC6dCsGIZbJwOOCTfRDOI8sD9CcjUbxsvbECBTWqbC79ZfB2Ugpka6PPw42J4G_9uD3Fg7aP7nVzDuYznC259tj4WodMphZKSIsi3NZTLKhOdcBF8GXO2YuEPWTn-dBccLpHg5_Y4RmuQQTkkB7vnRH8P7bQXK5cw7ofoqh4GThcmoEU3mZnA/s16000/Fall%20pumkin%20basket%20door%20hanger%20front%20door%20wreath.png" title="Nontraditional Fall Wreath Pumpkin Door Hanger" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This was a simple project that just took some assembly. I started with a premade pumpkin door hanger, a flat round woven piece (from the wall decor department), and a variety of ribbon and fall faux and dried floral stems. I used wire to attach the larger elements (floral wire or I actually prefer to use pipe cleaners- strong and easy to work with!). I used hot glue on the tips of some of the stems that needed some help to stay in place, but some of them i was able to just wedge in and they were secure enough without any glue. The photos below walk through the steps I took in assembling- </div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcAI7o8b3zsorZfcocI3nYOCXLWOSHHx0Kl-F_hwqe6SrrnvDgljqW38NxPQI2Is2lkG0hu7S7i02_dZydvN9n2IwuHaTy7ML_fpa16LKVmWDd1mjRZKSmqS9IeopjUeDtvkwJ2dIa_Qy17kypnSnrm4dQaMNnXBYjN79pB0gApNX2N9vKDWX0qSGtI9VT/s1555/step%20by%20step%20with%20label.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="step by step assembly of pumpkin fall door hanger" border="0" data-original-height="1555" data-original-width="1170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcAI7o8b3zsorZfcocI3nYOCXLWOSHHx0Kl-F_hwqe6SrrnvDgljqW38NxPQI2Is2lkG0hu7S7i02_dZydvN9n2IwuHaTy7ML_fpa16LKVmWDd1mjRZKSmqS9IeopjUeDtvkwJ2dIa_Qy17kypnSnrm4dQaMNnXBYjN79pB0gApNX2N9vKDWX0qSGtI9VT/s16000/step%20by%20step%20with%20label.png" title="How to Make a Pumpkin Fall Door Hanger" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This door hanger was super easy to hang, I just hooked one of the open spaces on the round woven piece over the nail in my door- quick and secure! It helped to choose a space that was a little off center towards the pumpkin side so that it hung straight since most of the weight is on the left side. That also ensured that the entire piece was centered better on the door. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAxM_PZAQWECwd66XJru-iOsl4Mm321a20wEQ0zEJtylnl4Lt_PmAeYYvLjcAWyU1rXffEMK6gQbtANuJkRtbs6pVeDj5PR7dVg_MyPMLCYRS3Mewr489Ay2jW57v2DGA6DhC88byVVy674GvbIz9RRxen81hLsr2gTzlExlX1cE_S7BRjgrJ1OiKob8kW/s400/Pin%20this!%20arrow%20graphic.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="400" height="75" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAxM_PZAQWECwd66XJru-iOsl4Mm321a20wEQ0zEJtylnl4Lt_PmAeYYvLjcAWyU1rXffEMK6gQbtANuJkRtbs6pVeDj5PR7dVg_MyPMLCYRS3Mewr489Ay2jW57v2DGA6DhC88byVVy674GvbIz9RRxen81hLsr2gTzlExlX1cE_S7BRjgrJ1OiKob8kW/w200-h75/Pin%20this!%20arrow%20graphic.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0DRDqCyIjRcT6hHfLeHrFKBpmP0U0IKi9SGr2vYqJS1jMaUeyiZ9VBaYkCLn7x8CtEUaY06ekw-TrbRyCv9Dp4rRFoj5mRsk9nQyzK54R_CGKm5kPeezitIm7o8OICW5M_o6dQliCSRn9kR8fAcRMU0y8FFSjdwUDSN6byDStKt6WlEvCX_PXU5sNpAl1/s1600/Fall%20wreath%20door%20hanger%20%20graphic.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pumpkin Door Hanger Tutorial" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0DRDqCyIjRcT6hHfLeHrFKBpmP0U0IKi9SGr2vYqJS1jMaUeyiZ9VBaYkCLn7x8CtEUaY06ekw-TrbRyCv9Dp4rRFoj5mRsk9nQyzK54R_CGKm5kPeezitIm7o8OICW5M_o6dQliCSRn9kR8fAcRMU0y8FFSjdwUDSN6byDStKt6WlEvCX_PXU5sNpAl1/w480-h640/Fall%20wreath%20door%20hanger%20%20graphic.jpeg" title="Pumpkin Door Hanger | Nontraditional Fall Wreath" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-size: x-large;">Never miss a post! </span></div><div>Subscribe to Dimples and Tangles and receive notice in your inbox each time a new post is published. <a href="https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6228ca5878ab99224ea6e5c3" target="_blank"><span>Click here to subscribe!</span></a></div></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="text-align: left;" /></span></span></div>Jennifer @ Dimples and Tangleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14276037711800319527noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500450738339997116.post-62707848971226949552023-10-25T16:33:00.000-05:002023-10-25T16:33:01.693-05:00HOW TO MAKE EASY PAPER NAPKIN DECOUPAGE PUMPKINS<br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">I recently made these cute leopard pumpkins for<a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2023/10/pink-orange-leopard-and-gingham-fall.html" target="_blank"> my Fall Porch this year </a>and they were so easy!

I used brown paper mache craft pumpkins from Hobby Lobby but any type of pumpkin should work. My napkins also came from HL but <a href="https://amzn.to/45L2vuP" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these are very similar</a> if not the same. I didn't think about it before hand but it worked out really well that my pumpkins were tan, similar to the color of the napkins. If your napkins have a predominantly white background I'd recommend using a white pumpkin to start with or give it a quick coat of spray paint. If you're using a light colored napkin over a darker colored pumpkin, the pumpkin color will likely show through to some degree. </div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaX41LRJztqprUdFLMlw98goVD_dTlxTGh91ddCMUAaW3qiQKeumSbR-vmLekNVPSXz_KCzMiHjvLBaDbLkbv7N-w01uMY0AfY-Rgfkap6eEc3NQWRP4fQVXwaWSC01q8dM4INIH3qfEQPw5u5Ljupsgg-FNAL28Y8f7WsT8PTNEw9wW3Hw3_OGCbKsR21/s1600/supplies.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaX41LRJztqprUdFLMlw98goVD_dTlxTGh91ddCMUAaW3qiQKeumSbR-vmLekNVPSXz_KCzMiHjvLBaDbLkbv7N-w01uMY0AfY-Rgfkap6eEc3NQWRP4fQVXwaWSC01q8dM4INIH3qfEQPw5u5Ljupsgg-FNAL28Y8f7WsT8PTNEw9wW3Hw3_OGCbKsR21/s16000/supplies.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Start by carefully separating the two layers of the paper napkins.

The wide leg yoga pants are incredible (true to size, maybe size up if you're in between)- my neighbor was actually wearing them with a pretty blouse and I had no idea they were athletic pants, lots of colors. I also LOVE the long cardigan (true to size)- it's a really nice weight french terry type fabric and also has a variety of colors. And, totally pleased with the hot pink sweater (true to size)- it is really soft, not too bulky, comes in a huge variety of colors and is long enough in the front and back to wear with leggings. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I just bought the two small crossbody bags for the trip we had scheduled, I think they are a nicer alternative to the fanny pack style. They are small but surprisingly hold a lot! Lots of colors and perfect for travel or running errands. I've shared the waffle knit lounge set (black pictured, I size up) with you in the past, I have 3 colors and it's so comfortable- I threw on a jean jacket with it the other night to elevate it a bit from looking like loungewear in public. š Leggings and cute puff sleeve denim shirt are true to size, these sunglasses are my current faves, and I recently shared these bracelets that are an awesome dupe for pricer gold bead bracelets that I've shared in the past. I bought both sets and wear them together, or just wear the gold bead bracelets alone or stacked with others I already have. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

My hair has seemed especially dry recently from coloring and this really seems to make a difference, smells great too! The gold under eye patches are another recent fave, used them like crazy around the time of my son's wedding. Keep them in the fridge, they feel amazing when they are cool! You'll see this little makeup brush cleaning bowl set on my Christmas gift guides too. I use the cleaner also shown and it's the coolest tool- spin your brush in the cleaner and it's a good as new in seconds, and nearly dry as soon as you're finished too! (I can clean multiple brushes without changing out the solution, so it lasts a while.) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

Thanks so much for jumping back in with me this week as I'm getting back to a regular posting schedule. If you missed it, I shared a <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2023/09/hello-its-me.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">giant catch-up post here </a>and <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2023/09/a-new-pair-of-sofas-for-living-room.html" target="_blank">something new in the Living Room here</a>. Ray and I are actually on our way for a quick overnight trip in Kansas City. It's been a long time since we've been and I've been itching to go to <a href="https://nellhills.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nell Hill's</a>, so we're squeezing in a quick getaway before wedding week next week. I'm hoping to come across a thrift store or two as well- follow along in<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jenniferdimplesandtangles/" target="_blank"> my Instagram</a> stories and I'll share. It's been so long since I've shared <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/search/label/Five%20Friday%20Favorites" target="_blank">Five Friday Favorites</a> with you that it was hard to narrow down my choices! <br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><div><div>I don't have one pumpkin out yet but you bet it feels like Fall in the house because the peanut and candy corn mix is out! If you've never tried the mix, you are missing out. Some compare it to a Payday Candy bar, and even if you're not the biggest fan of candy corn you might just be won over if you try it mixed with peanuts. Some people even like to throw M&Ms into the mix- I haven't tried that yet but think that might need to happen on the next batch. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ZTmmjNciMlDVxMpoqUyZpQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">This pretty candy jar </a>is just the right size to keep on the coffee table or a side table.

Before I purchased I searched high and low for a "look for less" version but couldn't find anything similar. But finally, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+wcnTZ5UST5xzRRP0P0vnNw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">I stumbled across some</a>! I bought them mainly to check out the gold bead bracelets. They are virtually identical to my splurge set, they are just a slightly more muted gold. Even though I was particularly interested in the gold bracelet, I really like the stack of the acrylic bracelets that came with them as well! I bought two different sets from the same link and am wearing them all together here, but you can mix and match so many ways. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSVo1xhS1KIwnKDT9GYi-eaACkdhNO-CRTyPjI73LFS4pgLKZ0SBq9PQgTKU2QWjui0qkqH9oja5MtbrjFYgzfTxPD3mlCrZun2ZTHdPpPNsFihYcdyoYKGIM-GqLBpo4zk3GTL7mvNopd8vmKCPRZxaMKnNgA8PfbImrasBINc9Lz22TJ9FM_XZKQI4s7/s1600/gold%20bead%20bracelets%20looks%20for%20less.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSVo1xhS1KIwnKDT9GYi-eaACkdhNO-CRTyPjI73LFS4pgLKZ0SBq9PQgTKU2QWjui0qkqH9oja5MtbrjFYgzfTxPD3mlCrZun2ZTHdPpPNsFihYcdyoYKGIM-GqLBpo4zk3GTL7mvNopd8vmKCPRZxaMKnNgA8PfbImrasBINc9Lz22TJ9FM_XZKQI4s7/s16000/gold%20bead%20bracelets%20looks%20for%20less.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+-r8PCF_h5sQ_r8XDcokZ-w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Splurge Bracelets</a> || <a href="https://rstyle.me/+wcnTZ5UST5xzRRP0P0vnNw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Steal Look for Less Sets</a></div><div><br /></div><div>*Big Lisi Lerch Sale- <a href="https://rstyle.me/+T4byjnDehaA-wvW1o2MwfA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here </a>for extra 60% off sale selections, discount applied at checkout!

We have a lot to catch up on... earlier this year we got new sofas in the Living Room! We had been wanting something different that <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2015/12/new-sofa-and-love-seat-from-scout.html" target="_blank">our previous sofa and loveseat </a>for a while. I was surprised when I looked back to see that we had those for over 7 years, it doesn't seem like that long! It was a nice set, the size just wasn't super comfortable for us anymore. So, I spent some time last Fall looking and bringing fabric samples home and ended up buying 2 custom matching sofas from Rowe.</span><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMPkeqwDwAp_AWTuslcrHvShS2XW-nJvt0WzXOwVRfy8Q0PDTHfZTXxsqoD9woopUqeKi7EsXWe4z1NhEcq9zqZb4tiJ9JyIRi_dC2IPrLiugVFFZRnb1wnc8Lyn9doTAlItKU4CQVyRht6bEHiQOhRFnh1Ty__AQHJJR6qC-vbtxlsBvgmLcuCgF9ke_J/s1800/corner%20angle%20windows.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMPkeqwDwAp_AWTuslcrHvShS2XW-nJvt0WzXOwVRfy8Q0PDTHfZTXxsqoD9woopUqeKi7EsXWe4z1NhEcq9zqZb4tiJ9JyIRi_dC2IPrLiugVFFZRnb1wnc8Lyn9doTAlItKU4CQVyRht6bEHiQOhRFnh1Ty__AQHJJR6qC-vbtxlsBvgmLcuCgF9ke_J/s16000/corner%20angle%20windows.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We've had a Rowe sofa for over 20 years (<a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2021/09/how-to-make-simple-envelope-closure.html" target="_blank">this one</a>) and it's still going strong, so I focused on what that brand had to offer. They are a solid mid-price range brand that offered the custom options and sizes I was looking for. I decided on their <a href="https://www.rowefurniture.com/products/detail/My%20Style%20Sofa" target="_blank">"My Style II" line</a> because it has a few size options and you can choose from several options of frame, arm, and cushion styles as well as finishing details like leg style and nailhead trim if desired. And the fabric of course, there were hundreds to choose from! I still wanted a light solid color like my previous set, so I chose a kid-friendly stain resistant woven fabric. I also selected the knife-edge back cushions, english roll arm, and turned wood legs on the regular size 3 seater sofa frame. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT2gQtF5hmRbIv526WExiScoEsRH3SYN9BpRlYFVh1ooEkxNu03Xad-uoakdGu9iNp1UEaW6owwFygWLi-WOq9XMz4OUyci7NSX46fjfw0MarKCGHMgbWuwV3lFSbh1sH5ccY35GBxPbiXPBF7mbLjFJ6YRARYB_Ls0YUrEpn-41xy22S2WqvGD6o67KEn/s1800/rowe%20my%20style%20sofa%20english%20arm.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT2gQtF5hmRbIv526WExiScoEsRH3SYN9BpRlYFVh1ooEkxNu03Xad-uoakdGu9iNp1UEaW6owwFygWLi-WOq9XMz4OUyci7NSX46fjfw0MarKCGHMgbWuwV3lFSbh1sH5ccY35GBxPbiXPBF7mbLjFJ6YRARYB_Ls0YUrEpn-41xy22S2WqvGD6o67KEn/s16000/rowe%20my%20style%20sofa%20english%20arm.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have always prefered two pieces rather than a sectional so I would have some flexibility for different furniture arrangements. I also have always LOVED the look of two identical sofas flanking a fireplace but thought that wasn't possible with our room dimensions. My good friend is great at figuring out furniture placement, and when talking with her about options she thought we could do it depending on the type of sofas we bought. She was right! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgktJgrsTr0glHlpm_8dZUmA95KO5H04bcnX3cymgsZdLeZMXGwIBpJ5BziAWg-oXcLde4lw2n6jUyHcaZh9zLjROEQFT6m3gdDkjPdUVj7_bnqyS_L4flGOCeRh39uFtnwfiwrRfWekKbJMns243DsII8FV41Qw_xbI9fXJ-9TVppju7yFhKc8z74cNJ01/s1200/sofas%20flanking%20fireplace.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgktJgrsTr0glHlpm_8dZUmA95KO5H04bcnX3cymgsZdLeZMXGwIBpJ5BziAWg-oXcLde4lw2n6jUyHcaZh9zLjROEQFT6m3gdDkjPdUVj7_bnqyS_L4flGOCeRh39uFtnwfiwrRfWekKbJMns243DsII8FV41Qw_xbI9fXJ-9TVppju7yFhKc8z74cNJ01/s16000/sofas%20flanking%20fireplace.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Our previous sofa and loveseat were really deep and the sofa was extra long. By considering options that were a bit more traditionally sized we were able to make 2 sofas fit going across the living room. We were fine with losing the extra deep seating from our previous set, it really wasn't comfortable for us anymore for whatever reason. And, although this style that I was considering was a smaller scale than our previous set, it was still plenty big. We can still fit 3-4 people seated if needed, and they are long enough that an adult can fully stretch out on them. AND, my original wish of having two matching sofas facing one another worked in the space!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4zOABJVE2wpiyW_RMje6dtg4hlquC2M6NJoAaMj4_iZfcX3XVnWr87tXqAnjlghjmmxWNG0EtiHPDHVpanZTAmhHSPPXW7lUc9Yk3oaU_PCbfUYMleCUwZEfI0vK1w3maQI5c14TSHjFOIDS9Z5braxqxz1XRodw4QjoANi5h_LfaInFG74mvrQRS3vkj/s1800/rowe%203%20cushion%20custom%20sofa%20.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4zOABJVE2wpiyW_RMje6dtg4hlquC2M6NJoAaMj4_iZfcX3XVnWr87tXqAnjlghjmmxWNG0EtiHPDHVpanZTAmhHSPPXW7lUc9Yk3oaU_PCbfUYMleCUwZEfI0vK1w3maQI5c14TSHjFOIDS9Z5braxqxz1XRodw4QjoANi5h_LfaInFG74mvrQRS3vkj/s16000/rowe%203%20cushion%20custom%20sofa%20.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+7jWkWQXrLxcdbEz_ONTKZA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Green Rug</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Overall, I'm almost pleased with how they turned out with a few exceptions when they first arrived... we ordered the standard cushion filling (high density foam cushions wrapped with batting) which is what was on our old Rowe sofa and has worn well over the years. However, when these arrived they were VERY firm. I really wondered if they had made a mistake. I was aware that they would start firm then relax and break in/soften up over time, but they were still much more firm and stiff to start off with than I expected. Now, we've had them for almost 8 months and they are relaxing a bit but it's taken quite a while. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The other thing I wasn't happy with was I thought they did a terrible job wrapping the cushions. They were uneven and misshapen as you can see in the next photo, and I didn't like how the cushions didn't settle in on the bottom side (the bottom didn't rest well against the frame) . I probably should have contacted the store/company and discussed it but expected them to settle in and soften up over time, and also just didn't want to deal with that (this was right around the time my Dad's health started declining and ER/hospital visits were beginning so this was the least of my worries).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij8SgU9JE_D8xTwNpl7yvab9WwVuDlVIN9FjEBK2oJFqbJ3tkOW2kYKYzm9ZZ9MTgI1ZTXYqNvs-emx88Tq1Y-ADr1r4SPuPcQfCVmBrSVGeBkYO5g510svC0z189r3ZMmM3sfu3vS-MjsZYN4lSR83EhDhac2m5wB4J_HtnZefCLUdDPdE4g6AtoUuQDN/s1200/sofa%20cusions.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij8SgU9JE_D8xTwNpl7yvab9WwVuDlVIN9FjEBK2oJFqbJ3tkOW2kYKYzm9ZZ9MTgI1ZTXYqNvs-emx88Tq1Y-ADr1r4SPuPcQfCVmBrSVGeBkYO5g510svC0z189r3ZMmM3sfu3vS-MjsZYN4lSR83EhDhac2m5wB4J_HtnZefCLUdDPdE4g6AtoUuQDN/s16000/sofa%20cusions.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After a while I eventually pulled the covers off and manipulated the foam and batting wrapped around it myself to even it out and that did help, but it's annoying that they weren't perfect from the start. So there you get a little glimpse of my personality too- sometimes I'd rather figure out a problem myself than mess with going through the salesman/company to fix it- which is what I totally should have done. I'm happy with the fabric choice, other than something about the weave and texture makes it difficult to brush off cat hair (this is still <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ADtJmUCuHGVzCZFxUuAONA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the best tool ever</a> though!). I've already had to clean a couple of minor stains and they've come out easily. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8ALxb0aDdWgFgI_RA1uarDidU3lmQAgiVjsXag079iFARPw3ANggGkyVN3uE3u2bqIomwLGJfxPKIUaO0dcJ-3IYiJWnm88HTPy41qXJ1H-zu-gYpdAqR-ZHLTE5BVlKgjLYZAlGewfPeOcpvUnbeu7ofyH76d4TQSPLshR-dM4lq2mx5brqfWf_IU9R/s1200/rowe%20my%20style%20sofa%20windows.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8ALxb0aDdWgFgI_RA1uarDidU3lmQAgiVjsXag079iFARPw3ANggGkyVN3uE3u2bqIomwLGJfxPKIUaO0dcJ-3IYiJWnm88HTPy41qXJ1H-zu-gYpdAqR-ZHLTE5BVlKgjLYZAlGewfPeOcpvUnbeu7ofyH76d4TQSPLshR-dM4lq2mx5brqfWf_IU9R/s16000/rowe%20my%20style%20sofa%20windows.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So to summarize, I'm pleased with the size and style, I just wasn't completely satisfied with my finished product. All of these photos were taken back in the Spring not long after the sofas arrived, so the cushions have improved somewhat since then. I'm in the process of making a few new pillows for Fall so I'll share some current photos in the next few weeks when those are finished. I also have another update in this room to share with you, so keep an eye out for that. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Overall, I'm so glad I ended up pivoting to 2 matching sofas rather than a larger sofa/loveseat combo again. Now I have the option to arrange the sofas as shown here, or still put them in more of an "L" shape with the chairs on one side of the room or another. I like options! š </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Bonus points to anyone who spotted something off with my styling that I didn't realize until much later after I had photographed... š© Hint- you'll have to look in the full room horizontal photo where you can see both sofas together. Happy hunting! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-size: x-large;">Never miss a post! </span></div><div>Subscribe to Dimples and Tangles and receive notice in your inbox each time a new post is published. <a href="https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6228ca5878ab99224ea6e5c3" target="_blank"><span>Click here to subscribe!</span></a></div></span></div></div>Jennifer @ Dimples and Tangleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14276037711800319527noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500450738339997116.post-81787002643360310202023-09-19T00:00:00.009-05:002023-09-19T21:15:59.641-05:00HELLO, IT'S ME!Goodness, two months have passed since my last blog post! This year has been a doozie of a roller coaster with more ups and downs than I've ever had in my life, but the Lord has been so faithful to sustain and be with us through it all. Although the blog has been on the back burner, I've still been checking in periodically <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jenniferdimplesandtangles/" target="_blank">on Instagram</a>. I know a number of you aren't on social media, though, so I thought a little catch up post full of all the things was in order before I jump back in to sharing house and seasonal posts. I'm trying to get back in the swing of posting here and am hoping to get back to several posts per week. <div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLbAW4_LBIYfoq8sZgBY2x6LchMh2IDe3Auo4sB-i7FsID3G30I26Ih2YRCXiI0QbaWxw1ZWuF4qIMl45rQYlGXtXhyQvOtrPOmgs0V6-zqFLz2cuqK5HlOFS4H7LFHnNJnY7ZQv45ea-1432OR7hxbKkLlGv5WOxdza2ja78phcUAKnKCWRPkOv0h2x3Z/s1600/zinnias%20birdseye%20coffee%20table.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLbAW4_LBIYfoq8sZgBY2x6LchMh2IDe3Auo4sB-i7FsID3G30I26Ih2YRCXiI0QbaWxw1ZWuF4qIMl45rQYlGXtXhyQvOtrPOmgs0V6-zqFLz2cuqK5HlOFS4H7LFHnNJnY7ZQv45ea-1432OR7hxbKkLlGv5WOxdza2ja78phcUAKnKCWRPkOv0h2x3Z/s16000/zinnias%20birdseye%20coffee%20table.jpeg" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Gorgeous August birthday bouquet from my sister's flower garden <a href="https://www.instagram.com/blackrockhillok/" target="_blank">@BlackrockHill</a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">So earlier this year I shared a big post about <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/search?updated-max=2023-05-15T06:00:00-05:00&max-results=5" target="_blank">my Dad's illness, a tornado, and my upcoming surgery</a> then just 6 weeks later my Dad's <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2023/06/well-done-dad.html" target="_blank">sudden death</a> during his treatment, followed by <a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2023/06/many-thanks.html" target="_blank">a few words about his funeral</a>.

Shortly after the wedding, Ray and I are going to Israel! This opportunity came up out of the blue. I told Ray a while back that we needed to plan a trip for after the wedding, I was thinking along the lines of sit on the beach and do nothing for a few days... š but several months ago this opportunity popped up. Ray is still close with his tight friend group from college, and one of them works for a company that puts together big events/trips. If you're familiar, for example they've planned the KLOVE Christian music cruises, and this is the friend that also organized the<a href="https://www.dimplesandtangles.com/2015/12/what-i-wore-to-go-sailing-with-scotts.html" target="_blank"> HGTV Design cruise with the Property Brothers </a>several years ago where I was a guest blogger (so fun!). All that to say she knows what she's doing! She's had the opportunity to make some connections in Israel, so she planned a trip for a small group of us to go together- mainly <a href="https://www.okbu.edu/" target="_blank">OBU </a>college friends and a few friends of friends that are joining in. We have never been before and thought even though the timing is tight, we couldn't say no! It will be great to have this adventure with a small group of good friends. We're so excited, I've just got to figure out what to pack. Our schedule is set but give me all of your tips if you've been to the Holy Land! </div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks so much for being here and reading though such sporadic posts this year. Again, this next month is still actually really busy but I'm trying to get back on track with posting, and then we're off to the races through the holidays which is always super fun on the blog!

After pulling laundry pods out of the original package and always having to hunt for dryer sheets that were stored across the room, I knew some handy storage containers were needed. These pretty glass canisters are perfect for the job, and I used a small crystal bowl from her cabinet to hold the color catcher sheets she uses. The raised legs on a pretty wooden tray allowed me to span the tops of the washer and dryer seamlessly with her laundry supplies and other <a href="https://bit.ly/45UUYuZ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home decor accessories</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-qwvWnSlizDCY6rORuBfrLfKQwCukqAp0wQqTRcM37AElVrjfVb4CMt__FhjlUpng0WjOXOQdl_meZ31RqhZ3biTopjlSF9tvzrXRebyGLGO6fP9J3BJmPLhmp-qCTiUlJgU1E9mr2uz_jxJ4Bv1fMWiyT2__8HFPZhO-ECrf_Z_k7Jc_5cMwxhk1Cprc/s1200/laundry%20supplies%20storage%20organization.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-qwvWnSlizDCY6rORuBfrLfKQwCukqAp0wQqTRcM37AElVrjfVb4CMt__FhjlUpng0WjOXOQdl_meZ31RqhZ3biTopjlSF9tvzrXRebyGLGO6fP9J3BJmPLhmp-qCTiUlJgU1E9mr2uz_jxJ4Bv1fMWiyT2__8HFPZhO-ECrf_Z_k7Jc_5cMwxhk1Cprc/s16000/laundry%20supplies%20storage%20organization.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm a long time fan of these faux ranunculus stems, they look so real!

I love real orchids for the longevity of the blooms, but eventually they do fade. One of my favorite tricks it to keep the pot with the real leaves along with the stakes and clips from the bloom stems, then add in a few good faux orchid stems.

I often buy accessories in threes if I'm wanting to make a grouping of something. These simple white ginger jars in different sizes are the perfect pieces that are super versatile, either with or without something in them, that will be useful for years for any occasion and never go out of style. The darling ceramic mushrooms were also in the <a href="http://bit.ly/414YbFb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spring Shop</a>, I thought they added the perfect little whimsical touch and pop of red in the mix. One more styling trick- they only came in two sizes but as I said I like to group things in threes and for them to be a little varied in height. So, the middle mushroom is propped up on a small little flat votive candle that doesn't even show, but it gives just enough variation in the height to make everything feel more balanced. I found the pretty scalloped rattan tray in the home accessories too! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Q8HorYetdUUa_kujnkNTzqFDCUO7f9fivwvL2jh8Kd2MgNuZPT0VF9Eq5if98saW0SUyHXwZLAEzd1C4zXJzPryHRxm6gOZl93NRuACIOaIECQbT2Rt8QtbfbS8zn-gMH4-0mf95-hiHoqfmi9Vcwu3itE2Fouc5DZz-XhHvfFsbPg_avgcKdkewKQ/s1800/hobby%20lobby%20ceramic%20mushrooms%20and%20white%20ginger%20jars.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Q8HorYetdUUa_kujnkNTzqFDCUO7f9fivwvL2jh8Kd2MgNuZPT0VF9Eq5if98saW0SUyHXwZLAEzd1C4zXJzPryHRxm6gOZl93NRuACIOaIECQbT2Rt8QtbfbS8zn-gMH4-0mf95-hiHoqfmi9Vcwu3itE2Fouc5DZz-XhHvfFsbPg_avgcKdkewKQ/s16000/hobby%20lobby%20ceramic%20mushrooms%20and%20white%20ginger%20jars.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I always have a lamp on my entry table, and sometimes like to add an accent to my lamps, too.

My sister tipped us off to this candle a year or two ago. It's the Clementine and Mango scent and if you see if on the shelf snatch it up- there's a reason they have a hard time keeping it in stock! This large 3 wick style is less than $20 when they are on sale. I nestled it in a larger glass cylinder filled with some navy beans to give it a fancy high-end home boutique shop look. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEict2vE6ijXQL1X91gjhA53ga3uNpAAsYTh036qg-4ruH12sAWwNODrxiwMahx3gAy83Kd2i8SD3H72sE17g1TsaG956Lx_AOAHvpZmqduudfOdveim7X5RiOIQEpbRMlBMOJCNWE8oXmU2hoQywD6DPCGNTwOZQ3Fm68CB5AOeY7iGfVL9jr9c_Hp56A/s1800/clementine%20and%20mango%20candle%20in%20glass%20cylinder%20with%20white%20beans.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEict2vE6ijXQL1X91gjhA53ga3uNpAAsYTh036qg-4ruH12sAWwNODrxiwMahx3gAy83Kd2i8SD3H72sE17g1TsaG956Lx_AOAHvpZmqduudfOdveim7X5RiOIQEpbRMlBMOJCNWE8oXmU2hoQywD6DPCGNTwOZQ3Fm68CB5AOeY7iGfVL9jr9c_Hp56A/s16000/clementine%20and%20mango%20candle%20in%20glass%20cylinder%20with%20white%20beans.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm so pleased with how the space turned out (and how it smells- ha!), bring on Summer!

Honestly, it's been a whirlwind of preparation and arrangements and details and we are worn out so I haven't had any time to be on social media and finish reading them all yet, but I will. I'm spending this week trying to catch up. Those I've seen so far have been so encouraging and our family truly appreciates how you have cared for us through your kind words. </span><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-85eV65w3J0ZoJZPal6vM9AJiJAv2LgwRTAaxPM9nZWjpdoLrkoewK3l4t1fxuz1QE1w2mfAQUJzDDH6ln3rNtHdTAJLecD1gpmHDhsugPF3lZDCm58z-JxRKRE9Q6XLbk88bphQ9ckTSJgepQMQ2NQh34XAsuBiRf74CkexIFdU7EodLJW5fqNckjw/s1200/family%20back%20porch.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-85eV65w3J0ZoJZPal6vM9AJiJAv2LgwRTAaxPM9nZWjpdoLrkoewK3l4t1fxuz1QE1w2mfAQUJzDDH6ln3rNtHdTAJLecD1gpmHDhsugPF3lZDCm58z-JxRKRE9Q6XLbk88bphQ9ckTSJgepQMQ2NQh34XAsuBiRf74CkexIFdU7EodLJW5fqNckjw/s16000/family%20back%20porch.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div>We had Dad's funeral yesterday and it was a bittersweet celebration of his life. Our greatest desire was not only that we honored Dad and everything he meant to us, but that we drew attention to our sweet Lord that Dad loved so much and followed with all of his heart. I believe the Lord was gracious and granted us favor in that desire. I wanted to share just a few personal glimpses from his service with you as well, you all have been so kind to our family over the years that I thought you might enjoy seeing them. </div><div><br /></div><div>When thinking about Dad's casket spray, we all knew that we didn't want the usual formal, fancy spray. That wasn't Dad. My sister had an acquaintance that she used to work with who is now a florist and we worked with her to design the spray. (Highly recommend <a href="https://thearrangement.net/" target="_blank">The Arrangement</a> in Yukon if you're local, they were wonderful to work with.) You all know that Red River, NM, is a special vacation spot for our family and has been since the first time we went in 1984. Dad loved the mountains. The florist agreed to let my sister supply a lot of the stems from her land and garden, so she brought in pine and cedar clippings, snapdragons that she grew from seed, blue salvia, and some pecan leaf branches. We were so pleased with how it turned out. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5dRJEBgicely2rUCfi8CNz1eUtc95v7Yo_vuR6Od1ZwZg_Eh2grLDL18K_vE8k7VcepeYbBsR3gXJFXVjbu4tY01qswV4Tuz7lfDTud7IMSMSbHnC7g__KImeTarknhqHrSdm-fji-kvPGFnzJwuPQsGC-wu82BBsHuV4w2ZB3PaPVPIVEqSeZmp7jw/s1200/casket%20spray.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Casket Spray with greenery, white snapdragons and purple flowers with tools tucked in the arrangement" border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5dRJEBgicely2rUCfi8CNz1eUtc95v7Yo_vuR6Od1ZwZg_Eh2grLDL18K_vE8k7VcepeYbBsR3gXJFXVjbu4tY01qswV4Tuz7lfDTud7IMSMSbHnC7g__KImeTarknhqHrSdm-fji-kvPGFnzJwuPQsGC-wu82BBsHuV4w2ZB3PaPVPIVEqSeZmp7jw/s16000/casket%20spray.jpeg" title="Personalized Casket Spray with Tools Incorporated in the Arrangement" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>My Mom and sisters had also put our heads together to personalize it a bit further, and came up with the idea to tuck some of Dad's tools into the arrangement. So I gathered some things out of the garage that I thought would work well and lightly wired them in or stuck them down into the floral foam if possible. I used a small level, a few screwdrivers, a wrench, clamp, putty knife, chisel, fold out wooden ruler, and a few of his paint sticks the he kept to refer to the colors. Dad also especially loved Christmas and the Fourth of July so we added a small flag and a bubble light that he had made into a nightlight. It was just so unique and represented him well, exactly what we wanted. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW4C8pmhLrDH54r2LEHpbDaju6_oJrM6qQvUDwSTM1hvLcXbCdyPcnC53hNehQsfnmILOBqxRjLLHB4WMO38sQ9UqaV9J3hXRe2T9vaO_pyoHVS6KE25hK3xNO-lhbuIGSUhcTPSSC1afYShZNvjESPF8vhvwXyUcc62k_J6kwUpM3Z-KRixWKQcxmqQ/s1274/flowers%20collage.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1274" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW4C8pmhLrDH54r2LEHpbDaju6_oJrM6qQvUDwSTM1hvLcXbCdyPcnC53hNehQsfnmILOBqxRjLLHB4WMO38sQ9UqaV9J3hXRe2T9vaO_pyoHVS6KE25hK3xNO-lhbuIGSUhcTPSSC1afYShZNvjESPF8vhvwXyUcc62k_J6kwUpM3Z-KRixWKQcxmqQ/s16000/flowers%20collage.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>We gathered up some special mementos and Dad's favorite things and displayed them in the foyer.

Thank you all so much for being here today. We know there are many other places you could have been and other things you could spend this time doing, but weāre truly grateful that you have joined us here to honor my Dad, and Iām thankful to share a few words about him with you today. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b id="docs-internal-guid-9e6e90bb-7fff-13f5-86d3-5a057be1dbc0" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After we returned home from Houston Monday evening, I woke Tuesday morning and spent some time in the Word reading from Dadās favorite Psalm, number 84, his key verses which youāve seen printed in the folder today. Early in the chapter as David expresses his joy in being in the tabernacle of the Lord, I couldnāt help but think about how much joy Dad must be experiencing as he is seeing first hand the words that he has faithfully studied the majority of his days come to life. He walked uprightly. And now he is beholding every good thing the Lord has stored up for him. The chapter concludes saying "O Lord of Hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you." Dad had a deep, lasting trust in the Lord and is experiencing first hand that blessing of a life lived glorifying God. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My Dad was not the life of the party (but he usually helped prepare for the party) but when he did talk, a wise person would lean in and listen, and probably would not soon forget what he had to say. Although I could never live up to the incredible example that my Dad has set, in many ways we are the same person. We donāt particularly need to talk a lot but we are always thinking about something. We would rather figure out how to do something ourselves than try to explain to someone else what we wanted or hand the project over to someone else to complete it. We are not overly emotional on the outside, but hold deep feelings about things on the inside. He taught me a wealth of practical tips, tricks, and skills that I draw from every day, and heās taught my husband and kids some of those things too. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyone who knows Dad for long knows he is a craftsman and a problem solver. As an adult, every time weāve moved, there have been quite a few projects Dad has helped with in each new place weāve lived, and I know thatās true for Corbin and Sarah as well. His latest joy was spending time in Seminole on Micah and Sarahās land and helping them with ācountryā projects there. He replaced the batteries in all of our watches. He built things for us. He guided us through completing our own projects. He hung wallpaper for me. He cranked ice cream on the Fourth of July. He cut up the celery and onions in precise cubes for the dressing at Thanksgiving. He fixed cars. He glued broken things back together. He wound the clocks- yes, they still have plenty of wall clocks in their house that carry chimes throughout the house every hour (believe me, I used to stop all of them at night when I would come back home for a visit or they would keep me up all night since I wasnāt used to hearing them any more). He knows every inch and quirk of the house, because heās rebuilt or built from scratch every bit of it. I donāt really remember a time growing up when he wasnāt working on a project or fixing something, and most of that time our house was under construction. And I donāt mean just cosmetic updates. With occasional help from friends on some bigger projects, he almost single handedly doubled the square footage of the house, adding on a large section across the back span of the house and an entire second floor with two staircases leading up to it. Weāve heard it from several friends these past few days, but anyone who was ever in Dadās garage could verify what a well equipped workshop it is (and weāre pretty sure we caught a glimmer of wonder and jealousy in their eyes). It isnāt fancy by any means, but it contains any tool or supply one could ever need. And it is perfectly organized. When I was gathering some of Dadās most used tools and favorite little things to incorporate into his flowers here I knew exactly where to go to find what I was looking for. Even recently when he wasnāt physically able to go into the garage to get something, he could tell us exactly where it was just by picturing it in his mind. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I was young just starting to wonder what Dadās job was, my mind couldnāt compute that they said he was an āEngineerā. I had no idea he drove trains and I couldnāt figure out when he had time to be gone on trips since he left every morning and came home every day before dinner. After clarifying that he was a āMechanicalā Engineer and explaining what that was, his career didnāt seem quite so thrilling to this young girl. But it was the perfect occupation for his precise, analytical mind. I know a favorite memory of Corbinās and mine was when we were elementary age and Dad took us to work with him a few times. Every day he walked through the neighborās back yard and waited at the city bus stop behind our house to ride to work at City Service in the First National Bank building downtown. We would pay our fare and ride with him (so many stops!) and while in his office he copied pages out of graph paper books that we would spend the morning filling in with whatever patterns and colors our hearts desired. Then when he might actually need to get some work done heād turn us loose and send us down to the lobby to explore Streets, the Hallmark store, and other shops along the corridor. And we always looked forward to a slice of Big Alās pizza down in the tunnels. This past Christmas my family had planned to go see the decorations at the newly refurbished First National, but we were never able to coordinate a free evening to do it. After Christmas I ended up asking Mom and Dad to go with me so just the three of us toured all of the festive Christmas spaces and walked down memory lane rambling through various parts of Dadās old familiar building. I didnāt realize at the time how grateful I would be that things worked out on that outing just how they did and what a treasured memory we were making. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Another vivid childhood memory is camping out at what was once known as āBeracahā. Mom and Dad have been members of Putnam City Baptist Church for over 50 years, so that was our home church as kids. Some here today that are long time PCBC friends might remember that Beracah was a piece of land just off of what is now the Kilpatrick Turnpike and Northwest Expressway that they intended to build on one day, but at the time it was still just vacant pasture land we were able to access and spend time at. It was really cold the night we were out there so Dad left the lantern on to try to keep the tent warmer. You might see this coming, but at some point we woke up to the lantern burning a hole in the side of the tent! Pretty sure we got home much earlier than expected from that overnight adventure. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In his mid-30s Dad became a believer after being raised in a devout Catholic family. From that point on he was devoted to being a faithful student of the Word. He taught a 5th grade Sunday school class for years, in fact the florist who assembled the casket spray attended PCBC as a child and said being a part of Dadās class was the clearest memory she had of her time spent there. He spent the greatest portion of his teaching time leading adults. Many of you here have been under his teaching for years, and although I know Iām biased I suspect you can verify that his lesson is possibly the most sound and thorough Bible teaching youāve likely consistently encountered. And it probably contains the most words he will speak for the week, but what more important message could he relay than the understanding of Godās Word? It was very important for him to study and teach the word with accuracy, without reading anything extra or his own thoughts or opinions into it.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My memory is foggy on certain events from growing up, but one picture that will always be burned in my mind is all of the early mornings that I would catch a glimpse (or rather the occasional early morning that I would actually see with my own eyes- I certainly was rarely up that early- but we still knew the routine) but I would see Dad sitting in his chair at his desk studying his Bible and diligently taking notes and writing cross references in the margins. And of course he had a little ruler he used to underline or highlight verses (that were probably color coded somehow), and everything in his Bible was written with a mechanical pencil in his precise script. As a young family we would have memory verses written on index cards that we would review at breakfast, and we often had family devotions in the evenings once a week or so. I distinctly remember one when dad made a big yellow sun out of poster board and printed āGod Isā in the center of it, and then wrote a different characteristic of God on each ray coming out of the center, then we studied a different one of those characteristics during each devotion for the next several sessions. It was important to Dad that he was raising us to know and grow in Godās Word like he was. We know that Dad was a pillar and frequent resource for doctrinal questions at his church. His pastor Bill Hulse was sharing with us the other night how Dad as a Deacon and leader has been instrumental for decades in helping to craft key policies that are still being referred to at their church today when a question arises about church polity. What a heritage. Itās often said of many, but my Dad was truly one of a kind. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Before I close I want to thank Mom publicly. Over the past 4 months, regardless of how tired, stressed, worried, frustrated, or anxious she was she met every need that Dad had physically, and rarely left his side. Each time I came to help I expected her to be drained and down in spirits but most of the time she was cheery, positive, and encouraging to Dad- cheering on each small accomplishment, all while also being engaging, compassionate, and encouraging to others we encountered in waiting rooms, treatment rooms, and even those coming in to their home to care for Dad. We truly watched her put her wants and needs aside to faithfully care for him. Even after 53 1/2 years they grew closer these past few months, spending time doing devotions and reading the Word together. She was steadfast and clung to her trust in the Lord through those months. I also want to thank my sisters and their families for how everyone pitched in and used their gifts to help and minister to Dad- whether it was transporting to doctor visits, moving furniture, researching details, meeting physical needs around the house and yard, or helping with so many different aspects of his care. Today my sisters and I have expressed our love and our desire to honor our Dad each in our own way, Corbin and I sharing with words and Sarah sharing with her creative talents, carefully selecting many of the flowers in his casket spray from her garden and spending too many hours to count compiling the family video youāll see in a few minutes. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last Saturday night was our last one with Dad here on this earth. It was after midnight and we thought he was stable enough for the time being and situated in a regular hospital room for the night until we could see doctors and discover test results the next morning, so I went back to the hotel to sleep while Mom stayed the night in the room with Dad. After we both had had about an hour of sleep Dad took a turn for the worse and it was evident that they needed to move him to ICU. By the time I got back to the hospital they had already moved him and were diligently working to care for him. Mom was filling me in on what I had missed and she recounted how everything had happened so fast and we were all so tired and couldnāt think clearly that she wasnāt sure what to do when they needed to transfer him to ICU. Should she stay in her pjs and just go as is or get dressed? Always the voice of guidance and wisdom, Dad simply told her to Get Dressed. Those two simple words were one of the last phrases he was able to verbally communicate with her. Get dressed. Be ready. I truly believe that through his lifetime of study, preparation, and teaching of Godās Word, thatās what his underlying message consistently was. Be ready. Be ready for what the Lord has called you to do. Be ready to give an account. Be ready to help someone in need. Be ready to support someone who is hurting. Be ready to give of yourself. But most of all, be ready for eternity. Be ready to meet the Lord face to face, knowing that you have nothing to offer your Savior more than a life lived seeking to know and glorify him. And I know Dad would say the same to all of us today. Get dressed. Be ready. </span></span></p></div>Jennifer @ Dimples and Tangleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14276037711800319527noreply@blogger.com30
