Dollar Store Crafts!

We live in a small town and have three Dollar Stores.  My favorite is Dollartree because I can always find something to craft with there.  Two weeks again, before all my issues, I found these cute spice jars for a buck.  I bought five thinking I could put my more spices in them.  We'll I am up to 15 and I still need another five.  They looked so cute, I decided to uniform my whole spice cabinet.


Completed so far,
I purchased these jars and they are so cute!  They let you sprinkle on one end and scoop out on the other!  PERFECT : ). After hand washing them and letting them dry, I warmed my trusty Silhouette Cameo up.  There labels are simple to make I purchased a frame from the Silhouette shore and wrote the spice name inside!  Easy Peasy!

Labels waiting to be attached



Close up of the finished product!


Today I am thankful for my Daddy, he has been a rock in my life since my mother passed away!

Happy Tuesday everyone!


I am released to go back to my real job today!  I hope y'all have a blessed day.

I am thankful for the teachers that mold are young people's minds.   My oldest daughter is a high school English teacher and I am always amazed at her passion towards the kids learning.

Optic Neuritis is a bummer!

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted.  My MS flared up for the first time in over five years.  My left eye was blurry and had a horrible pain behind it.  I mistakenly thought it was just allergies giving me a headache and lived with it for over a week.  A call to my local doctor , led to a call to my neurologist, which led to driving to Houston that day.  A round of IV steroids and I am finally feeling better, not sleeping well, but feeling better.  When I am on steroids they mess with my sleep and I tend to eat more.  I also get to take a taper dose of steroids for the next ten days.



I have missed the first part of the month so here is a list what I am thankful for in a November so far.  I am thankful for a loving husband of twenty years, two beautiful girls that I am extremely proud of, a wonderful family, friends that are always by my side, my doctors that keep me going, the Maxine Mesinger Multiple Sclerosis Clinic for the awesome care, a job that has always been understanding, a happy home to call my own, my husband's stable job that provides excellent health care, my furry babies that provide unconditional love and finally today, Veterans Day, everyone who has fought for our freedom!
