Restyled Sundays #40

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!

Whew, we are almost done with my mom's house. A few hours today and we will

officially be out. Two storage units later, and after a few days rest, we will begin sorting.

I can't wait to share some of the treasures and furniture makeovers to come. I feel

like it has been months since I have had a paintbrush in my hands.

For now, I want to thank everyone for sharing at this weeks Restyled Sundays.

There a some great projects and finds this week, be sure to check them all out.

My personal favorites are:

I love anything that shares our countries flag, and Noreen posted this

magnet idea on Crafty Journal. What a fun project for kids to make this summer.

Alicia from Exquiste Delight took an outdated china cabinet

and turned it into her entertainment center. Nice job, Alicia!

Cyndi at Blue Star Antiques worked her magic again with a

combination of paints. What a beautiful piece.

I am such a sucker for anything blue and white, This is such

a beautiful stool from Monica Livas and the cat is so adorable in its place.

Hope to see you all again this week.

My Sweet Princess

Thanks to Alison at The Polohouse, I am showing off my favorite child today!

This is Lady Di. And, Yes she is a princess! And yes, my other 6 children know she is my favorite!

Not only has she never given the grey hairs that they did, she loves me even when I scold her.

Lady is now 6 years old, seems hard to believe, yesterday she was just a puppy!

This is the day we brought her home.

We have a daughter in law who is a veterinarian, who recommended we get a Goldendoodle. They don't shed, they have the temperament of the Golden Retriever, and the brains of the Poodle, and they don't shed. Yeah! We were ready for that after two lab mixes.

 When we bought her from a breeder, she was living in a barn with alot of other puppies,

and she smelled like she was living in a barn.  We had two puppies to choose from, two were

twelve weeks old and two were 9 weeks old. She was 12 weeks old and a little bigger than I thought

I wanted. But as I picked up each of the four puppies they were all licking me and squirming around, except for Lady. She just laid her head on my shoulder and whispered 'take me away from this place'.

How could I ignore that?  So, home with us she went!

I couldn't wait to give her a bath ( I think she was hoping for one also).

She obviously didn't belong on a farm. She was royalty after all!

Here she was taking her first bath. She fit in the kitchen sink!

She was ready to cuddle after she was all cleaned up.

And, here she is today! Doesn't she look like a princess?

Of course she has to get dressed up by my granddaughter when she comes over!

I am not so sure she likes that part, she thinks she is pretty enough with out the pj's!

She loves to look out the window.

Gotta keep an eye on those squirrels!

This was a rare camera shot of her looking straight at me.

She avoids the camera at all costs. Drives me crazy!

After her hairdo, she is in the back of daddy's car.

See how she turns her head!

But the best part of all is how she gives me a hug when I come home!

I would love to hear about your little sweetie pie.
