Same Kind of Different As Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore

Same Kind of Different As Me is an amazing true story that shares the tale of an unlikely friendship between two men walking two very different paths in life.

Denver is a black, poverty stricken man who escapes from the confines of modern day slavery and as a result spends the next 18 years homeless. Ron is a wealthy art dealer from Texas who does not reach out to many, instead choosing to live his more than comfortable lifestyle. His wife, Debbie however feels led to help Denver and what follows is an incredible tale of love, faith and friendship between two men from whom no one would expect.

This book is written in two narratives from both Denver and Ron’s point of view. It covers so many topics from poverty, slavery and prejudice to compassion, mercy, faith and love. It truly is an inspirational book that opens our eyes to how on the most basic levels we are all so much the same, regardless of our different circumstances. I cannot recommend this book any more highly. It touched me and made me think about the world with a fresh perspective and I believe it will for you as well!

Hi Guys!

It's been awhile! I'll be back very shortly with some great thrifty treasures and decorating ideas later on this week :)

I just wanted to blog about a great new e-book written by Ruthie at www.sugarpiefarmhouse.com. This is one of my absolutely favorite blogs! She writes about so many wonderful ways to make a house a home - and includes so many tips and lovely ideas about family time. It is always a breath of fresh air to read.

I hope you'll all go check out her E book and her blog! :)

Cute Halloween Frame

I revamped this little project I made last year. Last year this frame just had the orange backing, black tulle overlay, and the words BOO (very terribly cut out i might add).

I have way more scrapbooking stuff this year, so I decided to give it a little face lift! Sorry there's no before pic! :)


I just used a fun, foam picket fence stamp, printed out my letters onto white card stock and cut them out, and glittered and stamped until I had something I thought looked cute! There are little grey "blings" in that tree but they aren't showing up in this pic =/. Not bad for a $3.00 frame from Walmart and some random odds and ends!

Updated "Open Frame" Halloween Decor

I finally finished up my decoupaged, scrapbook paper letters! I was going to hang them to look as if they were floating, but I hung them with sheer, .50 ribbon and I really liked the look!

I still need to add a crow and some cobwebs along with some more tags to the branches, but for now I'm really happy with it!
