I have decided to make some of my Christmas gifts this year. I have made 12 of these snowmen hats.
I am quite pleased with how they have turned out. But wow what a process. I bought tea lights and grunged
them myself. I know my mom and sisters will love these. I also have a friend who collects Santa's.
I just haven't been spending much time on the computer lately. A lady is letting me put some of my things in
her shop and is having open house Nov. 10th. so I am busy making some snowmen and santa's for that.
It is so hard to find time to craft when you work alot, so I am using every spare minute that I have for
crafting. Here are some photo's of my hats, The pattern is a Country Whims pattern.

Quick trip to Lancaster, Pa.
Thursday and Friday my two sisters and my BF Shelia and I made a quick trip to Pa.
We always seem to get
into some adventure on our trip. Well this year was no exception. We were riding down one of the roads
and saw a billboard sign to a play musical, called the "Confession". Based on a book by Beverly Lewis.
Her books are about the Amish and are just wonderful!
We all just started whinning about how if we would have known beforehand about this play we would have
got tickets to attend. We went past this place called "Bird and Hand family restaurant", and on their
billboard was their sign advertising the musical being played there. My friend Shelia drove in the
parking lot and had to go in to get some information for maybe our next trip. Of course the tickets
were all sold out, but the lady at the ticket desk said " sorry ladies, all the tickets are sold out but
Beverly Lewis is here and if you wait around you may be able to see her. Well to our amazement,
we did get to see her and she was so sweet! We took some pictures with her and got her autograph.
Another awesome memory. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time. He He
If you haven't read any of Beverly Lewis books I highly recommend them, I have read several.
And there is even a movie on the Hallmark Channel, "The Shunning", which is based on one of her books.

My Class Reunion
Sat. evening was my 35th. high school class reunion. Wow, where have the years gone.
Just seems like yesterday we were teenagers. Now we have grey hair, and many of us grandparents.
You know I am a country girl from WV, I went to the same school (which no longer exits) for 12 years.
There were 28 kids in my graduating class. We had a wonderful meal with lots of laughs and reminising.
And my son and Kelly May Brown provided the music. What an awesome night to remember.
I will share a few photo's. Only about half of the students attended along with a few teachers.
the Mathias High School class of 1976.

New Bonnets and surprise gift from a special friend!
I was able to go to a hobby lobby and buy some of the most beautiful fabric from their 1900 Quilt Series collection, I think that was the correct year.
It is the most beautiful fabric and really has that old time worn look. It actually has areas that look stained,
like it is fabric of old.
Since this fabric was sooo expensive. I was only able to make 4 of these bonnets. I am charging $21.99 plus shipping for each bonnet.
Please go to my selling blog to purchase if interested. http://farmhouseprimssellingblog.blogspot.com/
And then I received the most beautiful pillow from Linda of Parker's Paradise, Linda does such nice
needlework. I love it Linda, thank you soooo much!

We have a Winner!!!!
I want to thank all of you lovely ladies, my awesome prim friends for entering my 250 followers giveaway!
I had a total of 51 entries.
I put all of the names in one of my old farm bowls that I love. And I just said alright Lord, let me pick the
right lady. Well you are not going to believe this story.
I stirred and stirred to make sure all the entries were distributed evenly.
Well I picked, " Rene", "Sew Many Raggedies", then I walked over to the table and saw this one little folded up paper laying at the side of one of my books. I thought Oh no, how did that happen, I thought I had every little piece of paper in there. What am I going to do, well to be fair, I thought I am going to have to put that name in and draw again.
I opened the paper to look at the name and you will never guess what name it was, RENE of Sew Many Raggedies again.
Well Congratulations Rene, you are meant to be the winner, that just confirmed it, He He
Please send me your address and I will get your flag and bonnet out to you. I hope you like your goodies!!!

My new shelf from Firecracker Kid
Carol "Firecracker Kid" and I did a swap. I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted because,
Carol and her hubby make the most awesome woodcrafts and I just want everything.
I especially love kitchen shelves, cabinets and kitchen decor, but I don't have any wall space left.
I decided on a shelf with a peg rack. I was going to put it in my hair salon, but decided that it was so
beautiful that I wanted it somewhere, where I could see it everyday and enjoy it.
And she also sent the cutest wool pin keep, it is beautiful. Thank you Carol, I love everything,
you are awesome!!!!
