WOOHOO! Our son GRADUATED!!!!!& lots of other goodies!

Hi my Prims,
I has been awhile. Here at the homestead has been crazy busy, With our young youngest son getting ready with exams, projects, and essay's and you guessed it Matthew is Graduating HS! Matt in January changed schools on us again so from January til now he was at another town.

Here is Matthew trying on his cap and gown.



We are beside ourselves just so happy!

Now it is time for his future. Congrats Matthew! We are so proud of you.
YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XOXOXOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you will see more pictures of Matt, after his graduation and pictures of the family. Matt's Papa, Matt's brother Steven and Steven's  girlfriend Megan, and of course Dad and I!! Then we are going out for a celebration dinner and gifts and because he graduated his Papa bought him a Camry car fully loaded so he his sooooo excited and for college. It is not brand new but it is to him. An older lady owned it and it looks brand new.

Now I am going to show you a few things that I love to buy. No it is not prims or colonial items, I am still a girly girl and I love bath and body works.

Yes hand soap in every bathroom and a little candle this one is strawberry. I LOVE it.
Here are some more hand soaps I bought.



On of the apples foam and the other one has little beads in it.

This is a cover I bought for them.

The strawberry smells fabulous. It is almost gone...SEE,



Here it is in the cover....


Now here are hand soaps for your purse...







Here little holders that you can put your small hand soap in then you clip in on the outside of your purse. I forgot to show you my pink cat that is on my purse but here are a few more I bought....

The monkey is SO cute!



Now here are the large candles I buy form them all the time. When they go on sale for 2/$22.00 and then I always have a $10.00 off coupon anything over $30.00 and I always get 3 large candles, but our favorites is the fall scents and the Christmas scents and then I stock up.

I bought 2 of these large ones and it smells WONDERFUL!

Also I bought 2 of these as well. Frosted cake smells SO yummy!!!
If you buy these candle when they are not on sale they are $19.99 and I will NOT spend that on a candle.
Here are some holders I bought for our candles, I can't wait for the fall and Christmas holders it come out.



It was perfect for Springtime and Summer.

This on is in our bedroom and I also have one in my office and I forgot to YES take a picture of it, it has a large Strawberry candle in it!


Now I want to thank my friend K for a Birthday gifts she sent me. I LOVE what I got...Check this out...

A beautiful card, and a very touching note inside.

CHOCOLATES....YES my FAVORITE. K knows how much I love their chocolates.


K was a RN nurse so she knows I am on nutri-system but I got off of it for awhile do to some stress but I got back on it this pass week but she said only 1 a day! Those were my order's from nurse K.
Are you drooling yet???????



They are Wilbur chocolates...YUMMY.

Here is a special gift she also sent me....

You really can't see it but it says friends forever. I love it so much!

Then she made these glasses and sent me one check this out.














Thank you K are my Birthday gifts. You are so sweet and loving and your friendship is a true gift.

Here is what I did in my bathroom.

Here is Matt dressed up for his Senior boat cruise at night with dinner and dancing. He had a ball.


My gazebo is up but I am going to take pictures tonight and  because I am still decorating the inside and tonight I will take a picture with all the lights on. I am still looking for a wicker loveseat and chairs but I will show you the gazebo before that.

Have a blessed weekend my Prims.
Enjoy the weather it was 97 here today and tomorrow is going to be the same.
Love each other and be kind to one another.
Summer Blessings,

  4. Wow it has been awhile hasn't it! Glad to see you are back kiddo.
    Congratulations on Matts graduating - he looks so handsome in his cap and gown. That's quite an extensive senior party they throw!!!

    I have just a couple Bath & Body products - don't have one very near so don't get there often to purchase.

    K is such a sweet person - I've had 2 chances to meet her and it hasn't worked out - she lives in the town I go to all the time...one of these times though.

    blessings,
    karen
