Rustic means old....I like NEW, JUST LIKE THAT! AND AURIFIL THREAD TO GIVEAWAY!

Years ago, I received a collection of FROGS and I mean lots of frogs.. frog pyjamas, frog pens, frog crystals, wooden frogs, frog dishes, frog cement lawn ornaments... frog mugs, and yes even some DOOR STOPPERS....
I managed and owned this Women's group called the NICE SOCIETY INC. We taught women how to be nice in business.. It was very successful, I managed it for 10 years...
FROGS to us meant... FULLY RELY ON GOD!
We came together on so many levels... My press agent started it all... She gave me a glass frog....( it is somewhere at home)
I then started sharing the story of what FROGS meant to me.... JUST THE ACRONYM, not the actual FROGS...
I never really liked FROG anything per say, but that did not mean a thing to the thousands of ladies who were part of our community.. We all used to laugh at how our ladies would be on the search for anything FROG related...kinda like how I feel about GINGHAM TODAY.. I get a lot of Gingham goodies...which I LOVE..... Sooo that is most welcomed...
But back to the FROGS.....

I then began seeing FROGS hopping in at every meeting... there would be a frog on my table, the next meeting a frog mug... and on and on...
I had everything packed when we moved.... I placed the hundreds of FROGS paraphanalia in a very large BOX...
On the weekend, while away, I came across this box which got mixed up in some other boxes to store..
Soooo I opened it up....
THESE FROG door stoppers, kinda made me chuckle...
I LIKE DOOR STOPPERS, and I needed a couple more ... sooooo although RUSTIC, and some call it weathered.. there is another term too, but that escapes me...
WELLLLLL my old rustic frogs, looked toooo weathered for my liking so I painted them...

and now they are adorable
NEW door stoppers ....and FROGS have somehow hopped back into my life AGAIN!
