Karen challenged us to come up with
some crafty use for this logo picture,

and let you know where we are located.
I live in the beautiful state of Ohio.
We have fabulous weather
(except for Jan./Feb./March)
This is an early spring view from the gazebo on the deck.
The house you see on the right is the model home
and an exact duplicate of mine
only without the gazebo & the enlarged deck we added.

I had lots of sewing ideas but my cut finger prevented me from completing them.
Part of the requirement was that we would
appear in a photo along with the created item.
I took my cold mug of lemonade out to ...where else?
The Gazebo!
I like the frosted effect the plastic gives the picture...sort of ages it even more.
I made another & framed it.

I made another & framed it.
Come on in out of that hot sun &
join me & the rest of the sorority sisters
for a cool drink,
won't you?
We ♥ visitors at The Gazebo House!

Rett, that is so very creative, love it! It's amazing how many different creations are out there, such smart sisters, I think! I love your photograph looking out the door, too cute!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun and happy day!

Cute picture of you, Rett! And you are so creative. I love your mug. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteHappy rushing...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Love the mug and love your hairdo!! Looks so good on you!!
ReplyDeleteI've been having fun seeing what everyone is doing with the picture. Your place looks so peaceful and inviting. I wish I really could join you in the gazebo for some lemonade! You look so pretty opening the door for us.
ReplyDeleteHi Rett - What a beautiful photo. I love the old picture of the sisters and like the way you've used it in the cup. I have one with my grandchildren's photos and use it every day.
ReplyDeleteWe all are part of a sisterhood through our blogging friendships. What a lovely idea.
Hi Rett! Oh, how cute! I am just loving seeing all the different ways our sisters are creating!
ReplyDeleteI love your home, it's so gorgeous!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Sorority sis from Texas
Oh....I would love to join you for a glass of lemonade or whatever :) in your gorgeous gazebo. Hope there is another creative mug for me to use too. Happy Rush Day... Lynn
ReplyDeleteI too like the frosted look the plastic gives of the photo! What a great, excellent, clever idea!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit...re: the comment block on my blog changing from plain to graphic when you move the mouse over it, I must be honest and tell you I've forgotten how I did it. LOL...it's been a long time since I've done it. And I found it one day while looking through sites that have scripts for 'free'...if I come across it again, I'll let you know. Thanks for the compliment.
You are so clever! I love the mug with the picture! You are just a beautiful lady. Your house is gorgeous! I would love to be your neighbor!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea for a blog event. I shall have visit that blog. You did a wonderful job with the challenge. Love your house and gazebo!
ReplyDeleteCarol
Rett, I love your picture. You are so beautiful. Love your gazebo too. Your cup is such a cute idea, and I love the framed pic too. So creative. So glad to be your Sorority sister. Hugs, Marty

That cup is so cute and what a great idea....you will definately get use out of that this summer!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend sister!
Cute! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the finger - I know the name of that tune! Yesterday I was opening a bottle of formula for my grand-niece, and had to tear off that little piece of foil they seal it with - SLICED UP THREE of my fingers just trying to pull it off! How silly is that? So today - typing is . . . interesting!
Love the mug - but most of all, love the picture of you!
Glad you joined in. Enjoy the party.
Karen ~ Some days are diamonds
Hello Sorority Sister! I love what you did with the picture and your blog is beautiful. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of that and I have dozens of those cups around the house! Geat idea.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing this photo pop up all over my blog friends places. You have been so creative putting it into the mug!
ReplyDeleteYou have a delightful blog ~ so fun to visit! Love seeing the birthday pics of your little Caroline! My mom's name is Caroling and she like the prefix, "Sweet" too.
We lived in Ohio when we were first married(a suburb of Cleveland). Our first child was born there ~ wow that was 31 years ago!!!
So nice stopping by!
Kindly, ldh
What fun! I will have to join in the Bloggerette Society at the next rush!
ReplyDeleteRett- thank you, you gave me a great idea for a new page on my blog. I read your comment about the ribbon from my wedding and said you were going to look for other wedding photo's on my blog...but I realized I didn't have any! So, I just spent an hour making a "Our Wedding" page on my blog! Thank you again for the idea! The new page is up and ready for viewing now, just click the link on my side bar.

I really love the travel mug! I am enjoying the pictures and posts from those in the bloggerette sorority. Each one is creative and fun. I'm neither all that creative nor very photogenic so I will remain a mere peeper for now.
ReplyDeleteVery creative idea! It's so fun to see so many ideas from all the sorority sisters!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to share a glass of lemonade in your gazebo! Such a fun idea with the mug! Great to meet you sister!
ReplyDeleteLynn
