My Treasures~

Good Morning-
I don't have much time this morning so I will keep it short and sweet.  I went browsing yesterday to one of my favorite antique stores and could spend hours in there, and I do believe that I have...lol.  So I want to share with you some of the great "finds" that I got.  I love old sconces and the basket with the yarn balls was just calling out my name.  I am looking forward to major redoing my decorating and moving furniture around and such, so I sure that I will find a great place for these. 
We have a cattle business that keeps growing and growing and I am so proud of my husband and all his hard work that puts towards our business.  Tomorrow is our annual Bull Sale here at our farm and it is a huge day for us.  I am so thankful for the weather that we are having, even though it is going to be cold, there is no snow coming.  That makes it so much easier for all the cattlemen to get around.  I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend, and please say extra prayers for our BIG day tomorrow.

Blessings~

Winter blaaahhhhhssss....

Hello Blogging friends~
Do you ever get in a rut?  Well that is where I am....I have so many snowmen and love them to death, but I need to get them put away and bring out something new....Yes Valentines, red is a HAPPY color and that maybe is what I need to freshen up our home.  So, as I sit here grumbling I think it it helping me to get that "push" that I need to get the job done!  I hope you are having a great day and until next time....

Good morning ladies~
I was so happy to open this package that I got my from neice in Colorado today.
She makes some fun jewelry and I have several of these scrabble tile necklace
charms, so I asked her for some more and she sent these to me and I love each
one...trying to decide which one to wear when I go with a friend to lunch tomorrow.
Other than that, I recently had internet trouble and wow that is hard to not have that
when we depend on it so much, and yet it was nice to get away from the computer and
have to do other things that needed done, so I am back and am looking forward to
decorating my house for Valentine's Day.  Until next time.

Hello friends~

Another week of January has almost gone by.  I am thrilled that most of our ice and snow has melted, it makes getting around so much easier!  I have been in my craft room most of today, organizing and putting things away I have gotten on some great sales to use in my future craft sales.  While I was in there I was looking at a saying that I have on one of my walls that says alot of how I feel....I hope you enjoy it too! Have a wonderful weekend.

Terrific Tuesday!

Well all I can say is it was another fun day at GW...sometimes do you ever think WOW this is my lucky day?  I believe that this happened to me today.  I found so many cool craft items that were calling out my name and I only spent $33.00 to get all of these.  The grapevine wreaths are in perfect condition, the floral stems are some of most unique ones I have seen and in such earthtone colors too, the old cheese grater was just sitting there looking alone and I can't wait to make it into some type of arrangement, and then there are the two grapevine baskets that are a set with berries strung throughout them....so prim!  I had to share these items with you and I plan on getting busy in my craft room to see what creation I come up with....Till next time....

Blessings~

A Bargain Monday!

I am so excited to share with you some of the bargains that I got today.  I went  to check out some of the after Christmas sales at one of my favorite gift shops "Sugar Shack" and look at what I got:
A beautiful wreath that is so full of red berries, evergreen, and red apples.....A prim green sled.....a huge amount of holiday florals that could work for anytime of the year...all of these items I got for 75% off and I tell you what I spent "very little"!  With my craft business I will be putting these items to work :-)  I hope that you are all having a Magical Monday and remember to sign up for my January Giveaway.....it will be here before you know it! 

Blessings~

Good Afternoon~
I am looking outside my basement window and the wind is howling and the snow is blowing by. The kids were presently surprised to have a snow day today, after going back to school for 1 day. I have spent this past week organizing closets and cupboards, what a good feeling that is. Yesterday I ventured out to a couple of my favorite "woman" stores and got some awesome bargains. I will share with you some photos later. I best get back to my list of things to do today. Stay Warm!
Blessings~

Here I sit and am thinking of all the wonderful things my kids and I did over their Christmas break, and all I can say is that I will miss them terribly as they go back to school tomorrow. It has been an interesting holiday season....we have had snow and ice for some time now, and it made the traveling a little difficult, but through all of that we had lots of time together. Have a good night everyone.
Blessings~

Happy New Year~

Well its here another wonderful New Year...2010...I remember when it was going to be the millineum and we had all these thoughts of the 2000....and here we are 10 years later. All I can say is that I love my family and friends and hope that everyone has a wonderful New Year.
Blessings~
