Old is made new

I just love glitter...I love walking into a room and a little glitter catches my eye...a little sparkle...that's what happened when I first met my hubby....he took my breath away!
He saw me playing the piano in chapel and wondered who I was...a ditzy freshman...but I struck a 'chord' shall we say musically in his little farmers heart. We met later when I donned a nurses uniform, dressed up for some silly college day, with a "new" enema bag around my neck. I filled it with water, and as people walked by me I would squirt them from behind. Oh that was soo much fun, he was intrigued and wanted to meet me...after I drenched him...I had no idea he was the assistant Dean of Men!

He brought me home to meet his family...they stood at the front room window and laughed hysterically while I was outside (I found out much later) as I helped him shovel turkey manure onto the area to be gardened...in my designer jeans...they howled as I wore my cute little outfit(after all we weren't engaged yet) while I planted beans, squash, corn. He had three sisters that I had to prove myself too. They didn't think a woman with makeup and foofy hair could farm...so I had to show them! Years later farmer hubby asks me to plant (1,000) brocolli plant/starter plants...and I said "are you kidding? I'm heading to the craft store...I'm out of glitter!"

Many, many years later....as we still make music together (I'll get a line, you get a pole honey...)
I have found new ways to sparkle...Martha Stewart glitter...it is everywhere.
I asked my husband after I was finished with this project if he noticed anything different about me? He said I sparkled...literally...my heart again swoons...
Such joy, to be married to the man (farmer) of my dreams and he still thinks I sparkle! (He better! I told him if I didn't sparkle he might get clobbered with a Rhode Island Red Chicken!) We have hundreds of them...anyhoo
The glass dome is from the thrift store, a wooden plate spray painted (I'm still trying to figure out if spray painting really is a power tool?), and pine cones, and pecans decked out for the holidays....
Sparkling is optional but preferred!
Tomorrow I will share my most embarassing moment with my hubby during my college days! Tomorrow also starts my week of "Christmas planners and ideas" so stay tuned!
Blessings,
Debbie
