Running into another blogging friend!

Yesterday I happened to be off both jobs, so I finished up some crafts that I have been working on.

I will share those pictures later. I had to take a break, I get frustrated stuffing body parts, so I decided

to ride over to Jean of "Prim Crafts" Shop. She always has the best prim goodies and really reasonable

prices. I was wanting everything. But told myself I would only get one little treasure. She had a Santa

with tea light that I fell in love with. Well it just so happend that Jean came to her booth, we were

talking about her little prairie doll and soldier journal that she has listed on her blog. Both totally

awesome by the way. That journal looks soooo authenic and the prairie doll the cutest!

 Well what did Jean do, put took the price tag off of the prairie doll and gave her to me, she

said she was going to hang it on my door anyway. I could have just cried. I am so fortunate

to have such awesome prim friends. I love her Jean. I feel so blessed to live near Jean,

I feel like her and I have known each other for years. She is the sweetest and most caring, talented

person!! If you ever get the chance stop by her shop or visit her blog.

Love that tea-light Santa! I sewed a bunch of dollie body parts at the craft show - seeing your gift from Jean makes me want to put them together now! Prim girlfriends are the best! Enjoy your day! ~*~Lisa

I'm blessed to have sweet friends like you.
Happy Holidays,

Hi, Lecia I always forget how close you and Jean are to each other. I wish I could pop over and visit some of my blogging friends. I saw her little doll and journal on her blog the other night and was really interested in the journal, especially since my Great-Great-Great Uncle fought in the Civil War for the South (or as my southern relatives call it, the War of Northern Oppression!)I want to order it now that you've said how realistic
it looks in person.
The real spirit of Christmas and true friend-
ship is what Jean did for you when she took off the tag from the dolly!
Warm Holiday Wishes,
Susan

Oh how sweet was that!!! It is so true...look at what you were just telling me today about giving the kids a hug when you can..just knowing their home life may not be that great. You give with your heart...and it gives right back to you!!! You are lucky to have met some of your blogging friends!!! Katie

You both amaze me with the wonderful handmades that you are constantly showing on your blogs. How nice that you live so close, I would love to find a prim blog friend close to me.
