About Me

My photo
Deep South, United States
First I am a mother of two sons, Chad 35 and Ryan 32. Through these beautiful sons, I have been blessed with two beautiful daughter-in-laws, Kelli and Erin. As a result of these beautiful wives comes three beautiful grands, Connor first and the only one for fives years. Then, Kelli and Chad blessed me with another beautiful grandson, Cooper, who is now three. Ryan and Erin blessed me with my first granddaughter, Presley, and now Presley has brother, Harper, who is 2. My blog is really all about family. The reason I chose Magnolia Memories as my blog title is I am from Mississippi! I love Magnolia's. Memories is something that I make everyday. I still have my mother who will be 89 on her birthday in April. My life is centered around my beautiful family. Life is GOOD!

Pink Saturday With Lots of Frosting





Beverly at Home Sweet Home is the host
for Pink Saturday
This MaggiB make-up bag was a birthday gift from
my son, wonderful daughter-in-law and Connor
several years ago. It is something that I treasure
because of what it says on the bag. Kelli has been
so wonderful to me to share her children with me.
Anytime, I ask to keep either one of the boys or both
boys she has always been so sweet to allow me to.
Some daughter-in-laws don't like to share their children
with mother-in-laws as much as they share them their
mom. But Kelli has always. So, I had to share my bag.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Pink
Saturday. Thanks for stopping by to see
what I was sharing.
Oh in case your wondering about Vikki
being at the top of my blog. I was trying
to add my signature to my blog. I think
I got it in the wrong place and I didn't know
how to get it to the bottom. What you think?
I'll try it again next post no telling where it
might end up. Ha Ha



So Proud To A Great Grandmother

This is my mother and Connor. She is
82 years old. I just wanted to say how
blessed that I am to still have my mother.
She is all about family and her grandchildren

by herself. Not far from me and my other sister.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to each and everyone of you.

De Colores

Every time I see pictures of roosters it
makes me so happy. It brings back
wonderful memories from North Mississippi
Emmaus. Have you ever been to Emmaus?
It is the most wonderful place that I have ever
been. It is as close to haven as you can ever be
until we get to heaven.
De Colores this morning!!

Trash To Treasure Great Finds To Share






Diane at A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words is hosting
Trash To TreasureTuesday at http://diane1876.blogspot.com/
I have had this lamp for some time.
I purchased it from the Salvation Army Thrift Store
without the shade for $2.00. The shade I found at my
favorite Boutique Dirt Cheap for $3.00. It really matches
the lamp. It looks like it was made to go on it.
Also, I bought this chair at Victory Outreach
for $4.00. It appears to be a very old chair.
The cushion is from no other than Dirt Cheap $2.00.
$11 dollars for all of it. Thanks for stopping by.

It is exactly 9:21am here in Meridian (Central).
I have to be ready by 2:00 to have Christmas at
my son's, as you can see I haven't even finished
wrapping their things. What is wrapped is from
my friends shop. I have been up since 5:30, making
circles around these different piles. I really could use
a couple of Santa's Elves or any Elves at this time.
Guess where I am at on the computer. It seems to
help me to get things going when I see everyone
else so organized. I will not be doing this next
Christmas Eve. Hold On I Think I hear someone!!!
HO HO HO WE ARE HERE TO HELP. FOR ONE
HOUR ONLY WE HAVE LOTS, AND LOTS OF
STOPS. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM MY HOME TO YOURS..
