I got some family pictures developed last week and decided to develope some of my craft pictures
that I made this past year.
I kinda amazed myself. Of course I have made many bonnets and some stitcheries, but it
was probably fall when I started making some other things, I will show just a few pictures. I am excited
about the new year and want to learn how to do even more things this year. And it would have never
been possible without the helpful tips and encouragement of my wonderful blogging friends. Thank You All!
Wishing everyone a Happy and safe New Year!

Merry Christmas my prim friends!
I have made so many wonderful friendships through blogging. I want to wish each of you a very Merry
Christmas. I am sharing a photo of me and my three sisters when we were small. I was five,
Annabel 3 and the twins Lena and Lina babies.
My sisters and I can't get together on Christmas so we have this little tradition of drinking
our coffee Christmas morning out of this coffee mug that we each have and we think of
each other on Christmas.
I remember the fun we had growing up, being in the Christmas programs at church,
going in the woods looking for a Christmas tree, going to Grandma's, gettting little flannel
night gowns and twirling around the room like a bunch of little princesses, and singing Christmas
carols to all of the animals on our farm. He He I am excited for today, my grandbabies are coming
for breakfast and to open gifts, I can't wait to see their little faces.
Enjoy your family today and cherish all of your wonderful memories and remember
that Jesus is the reason for the season. Merry Christmas!!

Santa already stopped at my house today!
I love the pinkeeps with sleighs on them. I asked my friend Brenda "Pine Tree Prims" if she would make
me a sleigh stitchery and frame it. She said that she would, and not only did she make me the framed
stitchery but she sent me a pinkeep to match and a Valentines' one also.
I could just cry, I love everything sooooo much. My blogger friends are awesome and keep
me spoiled. Thank you Brenda, from the bottom of my heart! Merry Christmas!

Blogger in need of our help
There is a fellow blogger that needs our help. She is going through a financial hardship.
Traci of http://yorkmountainprimitives.blogspot.com/ is having a silent auction to help.
I am adding one of my primitive bonnets to the giveaway.
I don't know if you have ever walked down that road, but I have and I know exactly what
she is going through. Christmas can be a hard time for some people and can be very depressing.
And lots of times the ones that need help go in silence just hurting on the inside and are too proud
to ask for help.
I will tell you my little story, it was the Christmas of 1982, my children were 2 years and 4 months old.
My husband had just gotten a job in the coal mines of WV. A really good job by the way,
we had moved 6 hours away from my family and I was homesick and didn't have any friends.
He had worked in the mines 3 months and got laid off. We actually didn't have a dollar to spend on
Christmas. It was really a poverty area and so many people had lost their jobs. My husband
actually went to the "Salvation Army" for help. I was way toooo proud. He got a wonderful box
of food for a wonderful Christmas dinner and one new toy and one used toy for our kids,
and they were toys that probably cost $3.00. at that time. Do you know how terrible that it is
not to be able to spend a dollar on Christmas or to not be able to buy your kids a gift.
I remember crying and thinking how will I ever say this is a good Christmas. Well my parents and Ronnie's
parents got gifts for the children and we had such a lovely meal. I will never forget that Christmas and am
thankful for it now. And it truly makes me sympathize with people who are hurting now.
I know having my family was the most important thing, but is was something about not being
able to buy my kids a gift.
Now I never pass one of those salvation army buckets without at least putting in some change.
And I say a little prayer for the family that it will help, that are maybe in a situation that I was in years ago.
Here is a picture of the bonnet I am donating, thank you Traci for doing this and thinking of a fellow
blogger in time of need.

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.
