We’re finally ready for guests!

Our new mattress was delivered for our guest room this afternoon! After it arrived, I realized that I hadn’t bought a bed skirt for the bed and it needed one! I was able to improvise and I took a queen size yellow gingham flat sheet, ironed it and it makes a lovely bed skirt! I am glad it didn’t cost anything, it seems like we just keep spending money for things that we need to make our apartment a home and I am tired of spending!

The guest bed waiting for our first guest. The bed was John David’s great grandmother’s bed and the quilt was purchased for my bed when I was a teenager – on clearance for $20!

This wicker hamper I found at Goodwill makes a cute little nightstand (especially we cannot afford to purchase more furniture right now!)

The curtain I made for the guest room!

It worked out perfectly that we have a guest tonight! John David’s sister Jill is visiting!

Today was also the first day I have actually been able to enjoy my new home and feel domestic! I made homemade Pimento Cheese Spread, Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies, and Spinach Chicken Alfredo Pizza for supper! The pizza turned out beautiful and tasted delicious!

I also am making a pumpkin roll, I just have to finish the filling! These yummy desserts are not all  just for us, the state FFA officers are coming here tomorrow to film the first episode of this season’s FFA Today.

Since I have yummy snacks and desserts, I’m ready for guests!
