Swap goodies from "Firecracker Kid"

Carol and I from "Firecracker Kid" did a swap, and I really got the better swap, she spoiled me

really good. I got one of her wonderful shelfs with the rolling pin holder and dough board rack.

 She also gave me one of her wonderful rolling pin covers.

OMG Carol, I really love everything, thank you so much for swapping with me!!!

Check out her blog http://firecrackerkid.blogspot.com/
  
You will love her blog and she makes the most awesome wood crafts and rolling pin covers!!!

Don't you just love the mustard color of the shelf!!! The rolling pin cover goes really well with

my vintage egg scales. And when I was a little girl, I grew up on a chicken farm, the cover


reminds me of that, awesome memories!

New Billy Jacob prints

I am hosting a 200 follower giveaway, so please go to an older post to sign up for that.

And I am a computer dummy, I accidentally erased one comment, sorry Tina, but did get the name written

down to be entered in the drawing.

. Drawing will be Sat. April 30th.

 I have been contacting each person to thank you for entering my giveaway, I try to do this for all comments

But I have noticed whenever I sent the email, it will say sent with errors, so I am not sure what I am doing

wrong and don't even know if you are receiving the messages. So I am sorry if you aren't.

I just recently bought 2 new Billy Jacob prints, I love how they have sayings on the prints.

This one says, "Just like Mamma used to Bake"

This one says, "Hands to work, Hearts to God",
I love these prints with the sayings. Sorry about the glare. Lecia

Easter Memories

I had a wonderful Easter. Sat. morning Cole and Riley came to color eggs. Cole colored all of his green and blue. I had to laugh.
 Then I went to visit my parents in WV. Sun. we had a wonderful Easter service at church.
We had a cookout after church and the grandbabies and neighbor kids had an Easter Egg hunt.
I didn't get to see baby Jake very long, he was headed to see his other Grandmother.

Easter Greetings!

I want to wish all of my blogging friends a wonderful Easter. Easter is special to me, to think that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, so that I may have eternal life.
 I love coloring eggs with my grandchildren which I will do today, and the excitement on their faces when they open their Easter baskets and hide Easter eggs.
 I will vist my parents, attend church tomorrow and fix a meal for my family. My joy will be watching the grandbabies have fun. Wishing you all a blessed Easter.
