Meter/Stairs/Plastic Container/Hair Day/Lantern Redo

Oh my...I love the out of the 

box thinking on this one!

That is an electric meter. 

Yep, I was on PINTEREST looking

for ideas on how to hide (with paint)

the ugly meter and eletric box on the side

of my house. Nope, it will not be this way!

Also been looking at stairs!

Not that I am going to do anything but

the I can dream. If you have a lot of 

room under your stairs this is an

awesome idea. I have wanted mine

open to make an inset like this but

have it hold my tv and have shelves

around it. 

Another idea.

My first thought on this one below

was, "where is the rail on that side"?

My balance would not do good on these

steps...OUCH!

Moving on. My projects these days

consist on what I can do sitting and 

don't take a lot of thought.

Justin, my friend Laura's son was

going to throw this out.

WHAT? OH NO WAY!

I did not take pic of before

( I am so bad about that) but this

big plastic container held a powdered

protein drink. 

I took it home, washed it and took the 

label off which left a sticky mess behind

but I figured it would.

So with handy scrapbook paper I keep 

on hand I did this.

And with a black sharpie and stencils

I did this.

(yep Lily was being nosey....her reg self)

This is exactly the thought I had for this container

when I saved it from the trash bin.

So I posted this on FB and tagged Justin.

Well Bonita (Bo) jumps on the tagged pic

and puts this comment ~

Bonita Shoemake Mofield You know what they say....someone else's trash is your treasure. 😊😊. You can rock some trash Pam Montgomery Jackson!

Thanks BO! Love that comment.

A week or so ago I posted a pic of the 

lantern I decorative for Christmas. I 

knew I could do better but I just threw

it together. So I decided to redo that 

lantern (that sets out all yr). With about

5 bucks I was able to pull this off.

Sheri ~ Red Rose Alley I think you will 

like this one better. Just took me sitting 

down, not rushing through it and using my 

creative mine.

It was hair day for Misfire Sunday.

Misfire does have a kind heart, she left 

Maybelline eat out of her bowl and she

backed off. I however gave Maybelline some

on the ground so Misfire could finish eating.

It was hair day for Misfire on Sunday.

Okay....next is year 7 for the 

Christmas card. This one however

was not painted. I had a really rough yr

that yr and I did not pick up a brush for

over a year. Just did not feel it and 

just could not give that part of myself. 

But....this is a shot taken of my tree.

You can also see two paintings from years

before in this pic.

Thanksgiving is here....well almost.

I have learned in the past 2.5 yrs that

time really flies being retired. I am sitting 

here trying to figure out where the time 

has gone. 

Store today....gotta pick up somethings

to prepare my part of 

Thanksgiving dinner.

My go to for these dinners is deviled

eggs. I am afraid that I would have

a few folks lost without them. My

two brothers and one nephew just love

them. I also take tea (thanks to Kroger I

don't make it anymore). I take

a gallon of unsweet and one of

sweet. Usually I take a sweet or last

yr I took bread. But this yr I am 

taking Rice Krispy Treats.

I went to purchase the items for 

this and had to decide on marshmellow

cream or marshmellows. The last

time (forver a go) I made these my kids

were young and I used the cream...it came

in a glass jar, now it comes in plastic!

Wonder when that changed?

Anyway, I went with marshmellows and thanks

to my friend T when I make these

adding the butter required I will

be adding brown butter. Have you 

ever baked with brown butter?

OH MY GOSH..it adds the most amazing

taste. You just brown your butter in 

a skillet. It is amazing. 

What are you making for Thanksgiving?

And while we are at it....what is 

your fave part of the meal, talking food.?

Check out silly Lily
