What a wonderful friend

I just love my blogging friends. And you have to watch what you say when blogging. I asked my good friend

Pam, Baskets n prims  what kind of wool I should get to use for dolls hair and Santa's beards.

 Well what did she go and do but send me a big bag of wool, and I do know that wool is expensive.

And not only that she added two of her wonderful beeswax hanging ornies, they are awesome!!!

 Thank you so much Pam, you have a heart of gold and you are a wonderful prim friend. Check out

Pam's blog she is one wonderful basket maker, she also makes such beautiful pin keeps and dolls.

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!!!!

Giveaway!

  I am sorry that it has taken me so long to post my giveaway. I have been so busy and haven't had time

for blogging, like I wish I did. But I want to have a giveaway to celebrate you. Wow, 250 followers.

I can remember getting so excited having one follower. I just started blogging for the prim friendships,

and wow, have I ever made some awesome friends. You have been there for me through the good

times as well as the sad times, like loosing my doggy, Lilly.

   I have been pondering on what to giveaway, due to the huge cost of shipping, I usually only have

the giveaways open to US citizens. But I do have some followers from Canada also and appreciate them.

So this giveaway will be for US and Canada residents. You need to be a follower of my blog,

new followers are welcome. I would like you to leave a post on this blog only and for a second chance

you can post my giveaway to your sidebar. But please let me know if you do that. And if

you don't have a blog, give me an email address so that I can get a hold of you. I will be picking the winner,

Monday Oct. 3rd.

  The giveaway will be for one of my long bonnets, it is a cream color with tiny leaves throughout.

And a mini garden flag, it has pumpkins, gords, crows, berries and a basket. It has beautiful vibrant

fall colors, both will be perfect for your fall decor.

 This is a little way for me to let my blogger friends know how much I appreciate your friendship.

I love you all!

My first attempt at making a scarecrow and a surprise in the mail

The first of the year I bought 10 patterns from Tennessee Ridge Primitives, they have just been laying around.

I just thought I would never be able to make them. Well this is my first ever scarecrow and I am

pretty darn proud of how he turned out. He He

I also see that I now have 250 followers, it is time for me to think of what to have for a giveaway.

I will be having a 250 follower giveaway in a few days, so check back.

  I also received a cute surprise in the mail today, that sweet Cyndy, "Crafty Stitchers"   sent

me the cutest snowman ornament. I love snowmen and this ornament is soooo cute. Cyndy
