Working on Chrismas things

I am putting some of my goodies in a lady's shop for her Christmas open house.

I sure hope something sells, I have been working soooo hard. I am quite proud of my goodies.

Have a great day and I will post more soon. Lecia

The snowgirl and snowman are "Bittersweetfolkart"  patterns, I just added the scarf and hat to the girl.

My one friend is going to let me put a few things in her prim shop for Christmas open house,

if no one wants them, I sure have alot of Christmas gifts. He He

  Awhile back my prim friend Pam http://basketsnprims.blogspot.com/ sent me an awesome bag

of sheep wool that I used for my doll's hair and Santa's beards. Thank you Pam, you are a

wonderful prim friend.

Working on Winter items and Christmas gifts!

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.

The finished product!

My grubbied tea lights.

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.

Me, my sister Lina, Beverly Lewis, and my sister Lena. (Can you tell that Lina and Lena are twins).

cute pencils, my grandbabies will take them. Thank you Angie, your thoughtfulness has touched my

heart and I love everything so much. I love your sweet friendship the most, you are a wonderful prim

firend with a heart of gold!!!!!

New Stocking

I have just been sooooo busy working two jobs, plus grandbabies. I stop by your blogs and enjoy reading

them, but sometimes don't even have the time to leave a post. I am going to show a Christmas stocking that I

managed to make.  Until next time, enjoy this beautiful fall season, Lecia

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.

I am in the front row, 2nd. from the right.

My husband Ronnie and me.

My son Luke, and Kelly May Brown,

they did an awesome job. Kelly has the most wonderful voice and Luke is one awesome guitarist.

I was very proud!
