Thank you Liz

Thank you Liz @ Peddals and Needles for the blog giveaway. I won! I'm so excited!

Sorry I was so slow on getting back to you...Life sometimes gets in the way :)

New addition to the family!

Hi all! We have a new addition to our family! NO, it's not a baby....lol, it's our new pup, Gunner. We adopted him from a local shelter and welcomed him home last Thursday. He's a 2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. He's wonderful with the kids and just a big baby :) He needs a little training, but I think he'll be just fine. The cats don't like him too much, but they're coming around little by little.

We spent the weekend raising our backyard fence up 2 feet so Gunner wouldn't attempt an escape. I don't think he ever would, but ya never know.

I haven't been crafting much in the last week and I miss my "me" time. Between work , family, and the new pup, life has been hectic. I hope I can get back on track with my craft projects soon :)

Well, I just wanted to stop in and spread the news about our newest addition. I'm gonna post a pic of him and then get ready for work.

Have a great day and Happy Crafting everyone!

Gunner!

Last day of the giveaway and a few more odds and ends...

Ok, so today is the last day of my giveaway and I want to wish everyone good luck. I wish I could give each of you a tote bag, but there is only one of me and I have 2 part time jobs and 3 kids at home...lol

So, moving on to the odds and ends... I forgot to post a few pics on here the other day, so I'll do that today! It's a pic of the BEAUTIFUL necklace that I won from Tribalcime (Lisa). You have got to check out her blog and see all of the great things she makes. She has such wonderful talent. Her blog is www. tribalwitch.blogspot.com. Very original, cool stuff! I will make it to Kentucky one day Lisa!! :)

Anywho, I'm having my CraftyBay Farmgirl Meeting this Sunday, so I'm looking forward to having a good time with my best farmgirl pals! We;re doing a little crochet-a-long. Something to get the girls who have never crocheted a chance to learn a new craft. Next meeting will hopefully be me learning a new craft from one of them!

I want to wish all my blogging friends out there a wonderful weekend. Stay safe and stay warm! It's COLD here today so hopefully the weekend will warm up.

Take care and Happy Crafting!!!!

Valentine pics and other stuff :)

Well, here are some of the pics from Valentine's Day and a few other pics I threw in for good measure.
The beautiful flowers, card, and balloons are from my sweet hubby and children.Ally made me the family a special Valentine's card too. I love handmade gifts and cards. I save them all - I'm such a pack rat. The cute little heart bag with some great smelling bath soak is from Smoothiejuice on the MJF site and the adorable jewelry pouch is from Beverley from the MJF site. we had a hand crafted Valentine swap going and these were my swap gifts! I love them both. They are so great!
The doll is from Carol (my best bud) who is also a MJ Farmgirl and a member of my CraftyBay Farmgirls! Isn't she adorable??
The new pics are of my beautiful grand daughter. She's 2 now and cute as a button. She knows it too. lol
Last is my 40 year old balloon that for some reason is still holding air like it's new. Hmmmm - maybe to constantly remind me that I am getting old...lol Just kidding. I'm not old - I'm just getting started!
Well, there they are. My new pics. Now I am off to the doctors - yuck - I hate going to the doctors.
Anywho - have a great day and Happy Crafting!!
