And if Friendship were a cake, which ingredients would it have?

The Cake Of Friendship

© Michelle Flores

"Preheat the oven of love
With plenty of secrets and hugs

Mix in giggles and laughs
That make your sides split in half

Bake with the love and care
And all the things you both should share

Decorate with the frosting of trust
This is really a must

Enjoy the cake do not eat it fast
Just like your new friendship make it last."

From the NEWBIE parties I made new friends, found many great crafts, learned wonderful how-tos...grew my blog knowledge.

Debbie, y o u deserve a big thank you!

Now all bloggers, get your glass slippers...

Or in my case my flipflops...



And go join the fun with DebbieDoos Newbie Party Reunion...

See ya down the junkin' road!!

Porch Love

I LOVE PORCHES!

I think my love of porches goes waaaaay back to early childhood with time spent at my grandparents' house!  Days always began on the front porch in the swing reading the daily comic page!  The back porch was reserved for work related activities! Early nighttime was spent on the screened in side porch! And the wonderful times we shared...so many wonderful memories!

So today I will share with you a few favorite porches that are featured in the Southern Living magazine! 

( I understand the reason for painting a porch ceiling blue is to help keep the insects away! 

Whatever the reason it is very pretty! )

( Appalachian Round )

( Charleston Style )

 ( Entertaining Porch )

( Live-in Back Porch )

Gorgeous, aren't they all?  So hard to pick just one favorite!!

Do you have a porch?  Have you gotten it ready for the season?  We have had soooo much pollen that it has been difficult to work outside!  The hubby and I have started the work needed to ready the porch for the spring and summer season! ( between sneezes...aaah-chooo!)

See ya down the junkin' road!!
