totally FREE...

I ordered a FREE paint sample from

http://www.valspar.com/

Well actually,

 my husband did, for me.

A gazillion colors to pick from

and this is what he picked.

Top Banana is the name!

I did suggest yellow not because I

needed yellow for a project

but because it is cheery and bright

and I want summer to come to my house.

What I am going to paint with it, you ask?

Well I really don't know,

But I will find something that is begging for a

little sunshine. (Besides me.)
(any suggestions?)

It comes with a mini roller (and 1 extra)

and paint tray, the color card

and a $5.00 off coupon for a gallon of paint,

And a 7.2 oz. Sample of the paint.

Sometimes its the FREE stuff that makes my day brighter!

They are giving away 100 FREE samples like this for

100 days.  You just pick the color!

Go ahead treat yourself to a FREE paint sample!

Have a beautiful yellow day!

Coffee break...

Overwhelmed!

What does it mean to you?

Today if you and I were sitting down
for coffee I would tell you that
I am a bit overwhelmed with all
that I think I need to accomplish today.

There is a mountain of laundry to do and
there is painting to be done.
The list is long and I know you
probably have your own list to read,
so I won't bore you with mine.

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
C. S. Lewis

So in the midst of the to-do list,
I need to stop and be overwhelmed by God
His amazing love for me,
His strength in and thru me,
His power to heal,
His gift of salvation,
His ability to overwhelm me with His love for me.

See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children, and we really are! But the people who belong to this world don't know God, so they don't understand that we are his children.  I John 3:1 NLT

Today I will focus on Jesus and be overwhelmed
because He loves me.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.  I John 3:1 NIV

What about you?  How are you today?
What are you overwhelmed with?

Be overwhelmed with Jesus today,

He is crazy about you!

{ Sugar }

Spring is still on my mind and so

when I saw these spring-colored

sprinkles I couldn't resist.

I think they are so sweet!

Although some people don't

like sanding sugar on their cupcakes

and cookies,  I do.

I love the little bit of crunch on top on the

soft buttery frosting.

Vanilla cupcakes with Nutella filling and vanilla buttercream,

and a crunchy bit of spring on top,

is the kids not so healthy after school snack.

Happy Spring-y Monday to you all!
