New Shelf from "Firecracker Kid"

Carol "Firecracker Kid"  and I did a swap, of course I love everything of Carol's , but decided on

one of her awesome shelves. I really like the label she put on the shelf too, "Jenkins Farm Poulty

Conditioner".  the people that built and lived in the old farmhouse that we are remodleing in WV,

their last name was Jenkins. So I may put it at the farmhouse, but for now I want to just enjoy it here in VA.

Meeting a blogging friend and something she made me!!!!!

As many of you know Jean - Prim Crafts and I only live about 8 miles apart. Lucky me!!!!

We have met , but decided to get together again yesterday. She came over to my hair salon and had her

hair cut. Darn 'I forgot to take pictures. I hope you like your hair cut Jean. Then we went out for lunch.

 But I had asked Jean if she would make me a standing prairie doll. Without hesitations she said yes, Well to

my surprise she made two instead of one, she said they were, "Prairie Sisters" !!!

Look at these dolls, aren't they the cutest ever!! I love them!!!

I love the fabrics Jean has used, I love how this one is standing.

Isn't she the cutest sister!!!

I think they are my new favorite dolls!!!! They look awesome displayed on my old hoosier!!!

Perfectly Prim, thank you Jean from the bottom of my heart, Jean is so beautiful on the inside and outside. She made these for me as a gift. I can't express in words,
how thankful and proud I am of these dolls Jean.
I am so glad we live near each other and hope we get to have many visits.
You other blogger girls just need to move to the Shenandoah Valley to be near Jean.
Please check out her blog, she is one awesome crafter!!!!!!
