Finish It Up Friday- My Random Five

One of the things I have been working on
whilst I have been "recovering"
is sorting pictures.
(speaking of recovering- I am having
my stitches out today)

I have so many odds and ends-
Nothing to make a whole post out of...
but perfect for
Finish It Up Friday.

This post might be
PRETTY CORNY
#1
This hangs by our steps
#2
It's THE IRISH in him!
Doesn't he look like a little leprechaun?
#3
Remember the other day when I posted this
and called it 
THE END OF AN ERA?
That SweetCheeks was no longer dressing up as 
SNOW WHITE?
I was wrong!
Guess what she picked to wear for 
Halloween this year?
hahahaha
My words usually come back to bite me!

#4
Dining Room
Mantle Left and Right 
Table Centerpiece
That basket belonged to Gramma Stella.
It has the original green paint on the handle
and is in excellent condition.
The MIX sign is from the cattle stock yards
in The Valley in PA.
FINALLY #5
I have a
NICE LITTLE SURPRISE
for MyHero when he gets home today.
I have a 
WONDERFUL SIGN
for his office door.
Wait till he sees the lock I installed on the
OUTSIDE OF HIS DOOR!


My NEW MOTTO is:
BE NICE OR PAY THE PRICE.

He's gonna be in there a LONG time........
your photo name

Diana, You have your little princess back. I love SC's new costume. That was a cute photo of Big boy E too. We used to have mental hospital a few towns north of here...when I was a kid I would hear people talk about, it seemed scary. Poor Hero. :):) Hope you have a great weekend. You can practice winking with your stitches removed. xoxo,Susie

Great post, Diana!! The corn banner is so cute. The kids are even cuter.
I hope there's a big space under the door so you can slide food under it for your hero once he's in there. I have a feeling he'll be in there for a while.

Loving all your fall decor. You are never too old to be a princess (or at least that is what my girls say ;-) Hope you the door has at least an inch of clearance so you can at least slip him some food. LOL

Patty Patterson said...

Stitches? It sounds like I have missed something. I'm glad to hear you are recovering, though. And your decorations are beautiful. And how do you get your blog to post on your facebook. Do you do it daily? Or is there an automatic method?

Tessa~ Here there be musing said...

-giggles- Either your husband has fun, with his always-interesting-life, with you.

Orrrrrrrrr...

You drive him up a wall. -gigggles-

My bet? A little of both!

-ducking, running and hiding-

Hooray for stitches out!!!!

Great post my friend . Love it all. May you have great reports back from your stitches out. Then we will all have to look out what your going to surprise us with on next blog.

I am stuck in Mind thinking if it is possible with me as what to put in for my daughters 50th album. I am starting early,early until always leaving it to the last.

Love your little photo bomber! I bet you're so glad to still see SweetCheeks dressing up as Snow White. She sure makes a beautiful one! Love your fall decor and that insane asylum sign is hilarious!!! He better watch out! ;) Hope you're continuing to feel better. I know having the stitches out will be a relief.

Red Rose Alley said...

Hahaha, SweetCheeks had to dress up one more time as Snow White. Just when we think they are growing up, they do something like this, right? My kids still do silly things now and then at 30! She looks so sweet here, she will be the cutest girl at Halloween. Oh my gosh, tell your daughter that is the cutest picture ever of her and the boys! I think that one needs to be framed.

Have a fun weekend, Diana. So glad to hear the good news about your eyes.

love,
~Sheri

Hahaha! You make me laugh, Diana!

I love to see all the pictures of your family and all the things you are doing. That photo bomb picture is great! Aren't kids so funny! They love those little moments of silliness.... I think Snow White is still pretty even older! It's good that they stay as young as they can. I love the Fall decor you have. It just makes any room cozy! Oh my and that sign for your hubby is priceless... I hope it's comfy in his office. ;-)

I'm glad you are doing better and yay for no more stitches!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,
Amy

Awww, I love your random musings! The corn garland is such a great idea and is such a pretty Fall decoration. Your mantel and centerpiece are lovely! You have so many pretty things that have such a special meaning! Sweet Cheeks is a precious Snow White! There is always room for two Snow Whites! Your hero will love his sign and I'm adopting your new motto! :) Have a great weekend!

LOL Just love the random glimpses of your life! They range from lovely to loony! The kids, of course, are the best! Sweet Cheeks is a charming Snow White! Love the boys too, and their pretty mom! Poor grandpa, though! Lots of time to sit in solitude in the "loony bin" and think about his "crimes!" I could use one of those signs over here too!

bj said...
