Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by!!
Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....
I
feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin
Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I
was....
I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....
As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

A NOTE ABOUT COMMENTS
I
enjoy reading your comments and will return the favor by visiting and
commenting on your blog or reply to you directly here if you do not have
a blog but I do have my comment section set to Moderation due to
spammers and hackers so your comment will not appear immediately...
And since I have a very busy life, like most of us do, it may take me awhile to return your comments but I promise I will....

In my last post, I shared how I decorated the Dining Room buffet for the Patriotic Summer Holidays for the first time, using things I had and thinking outside the box a bit and using red cardinals...
Click HERE if you missed that post!!
I want to Thank Linda, over at Life and Linda, for choosing my Blog Post, Patriotic Living Room Tree and Crafts, as one of her features from last week's Love Your Creativity Link Party!!
Thanks so much, Linda!!! 
Another bird bath and a fountain.....

And now for a few Personal Notes...
For the New Year, I am trying something different with my 3 times weekly posts....
On THURSDAYS,
I will feature what I cooked and ate during the week, showcasing local
cuisine and a few recipes for things that I actually made...
I decided that on SATURDAYS, I will showcase What I Have Been Up To in the past week, sharing events and places I went to, if any....
On MONDAYS, I will be featuring What I Have Bought or Been Gifted Recently, if anything...
I placed an order online at Michael's for pick up at the store....
There was a 40% off coupon, for online orders only, for ALL regularly priced merchandise, not just one item....
You can not get a deal like that if you shop in the store.....
There were also items marked down 70% for clearance...
This is what I bought....
I found out if you use a deal like the 40% off at Michael's, you can buy spray paint a lot cheaper than at Lowe's or Home Depot.....
I plan on using this for a project out in my back yard...
I also wanted to stock up on E 6000 glue, which I use a lot, and these were a buy at 40& off..
And I needed some mini glue sticks......also 40 % off...
These picture frames I wanted for my refrigerator....
These were on Clearance at 70% off....
This order only cost me $31.00!!
I will be watching my Michael's emails, that I signed up for, more closely for online deals like this again......
Today, I am still sharing my Patriotic decor for America 250 so we will be taking a look at Nelson Crest, my Victorian doll house.....
She is decorated for the Summer and the Patriotic Holidays...
The left side yard....
Summer shrubs...
The second floor balcony....
I made the bunting out of a Patriotic crepe paper many years ago....
The pin wheel wreaths in the windows are cake decorations....
Summer flowers are out...
The left side of the front yard.....
A bird bath and a rock garden.....
Flower pots and a Welcome garden stone.....
On the front porch......
A Patriotic wreath on the front door that I made....
Milk and eggs were just delivered from the local diary....
Firecrackers decorate the porch railing....
Pots of flowers and garden Fairies on the steps.....
A flag pole proudly displays our Country's flag.....
The right side of the front yard....
An Angel statue and a pond....
Flowers in a basket and a bird bath....
The right side yard....
Nelson Crest will remain all decked out for Summer and the Patriotic Holidays until after Labor Day when I change it over to Halloween.....
I am happy to say that when my twin granddaughters, Lily and Gigi, get older, Nelson Crest will be theirs....
I love this picture of Gigi and my DIL Danielle that was taken at our Memorial Day Remembrance Dinner.....
I hope you will stop by to visit again on THURSDAY for my next post which will be my Patriotic Summer Home Tour....
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
And try to find JOY in every single day! 
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
