Clouds and a sale!

Good evening all!!

I wanted to post some pictures that I took of these awesome looking clouds after we had a storm come through a couple of nights ago.

















Aren't they just amazing!

Also wanted you all to know that I have reduced all the prices of everything that I have listed on ebay. Pinkeeps, candle mats and ditty bags. I need to start on Fall stuff. Just click on my ebay tag on the right side to take you directly to my ebay.

Thanks!!

Gavins Point Damn and win from Carol!

Happy Sunday all! Hope the day is going good for you!

I just wanted to share with you all the reason why there is so much flooding going on right now in Western Iowa and Eastern Nebraska. There is so much snow melt coming down the Missouri River from Montana so that means that this dam has to release water. And releasing is what it is doing!! Record release. We spent the day here Saturday in South Dakota. The force of this water being released is just unreal.

This was taken driving on the road to get to the damn.














Me...hoping not to get wet from the water spraying out.


Hubby


These 2 pictures were taken from the Lewis and Clark Visitors building up above the dam. Very pretty but not good news.





Also Saturday, I received my givaway win from Carol over at Firecracker Kid Primitives. I totally love it. Her and her hubby Tim make the greatest stuff, excellent workmanship!! She also sent me this great jar with this great primitive label on it. Love it! Thanks so much Carol and Tim!





Have a wonderful week everyone!!

A couple of new Pinkeeps!

Here are a couple of new pinkeeps that I have gotten done. I will leave these on my blog for a couple of days if you wish to purchase, then they will go on ebay.

Treasured Blossoms Friend pinkeep. Design is by Pineberry Lane. This pinkeep measures approx. 6 x 5 and the fabric is darker than it appears in picture. I have also attached a little tiny old looking key to it. It is stuffed with pet bedding (corn cob pellets) and is backed with a vintage colored blue print. I am asking $20.00 for this, free shipping.



Counting Crows pinkeep, designed by Nan Lewis of Threadwork Primitives. Measures approx. 6 1/2 x 4, is stuffed with pet bedding (corn cob pellets) and backed with a goldish colored floral print. The fabric is darker than it appears in the picture. I am asking $18.00 for this one, free shipping.


Ok, that makes 2 posts in one day...lol! Probably won't happen for another year...ha!!

Thanks for looking!!

Secret Friendship swap package arrived!!

Tammy from A Primitive Place hosted a Secret Friendship Envelope Swap recently. We didn't know who had our name and also, everything that you sent to your partner had to fit into a large padded envelope.

Well Mary from Marmmies Mammys and More sent me an envelope full of great stuff! I love it all! Thank you so much Mary!

Look at this yo-yo penny rug mat. The picture doesn't do this justice...it is awesome!


This sweet little Annie doll and a hummer...adorable!! The little tag on the hummer says "Nothing says Summer than seeing a Hummer". I love it!!


These awesome cinnamon rubbed Americana star bowl fillers.


And finally, 2 Yankee Candle tarts in the scent Summer Fresh (smells great), a magnetic weekly panner/to-do list notepad (who doesn't need one of these), and a lovely card!


Thanks again Mary so much! And also thank you to Tammy for hosting yet another great swap!!

A couple of surprises that I received!

Hello everyone! Hope your week is going well!

I received a couple of surprises in the mail recently and boy, I was surpised!! Blogging friends are the best!

First is from that Dear Sweet Linda from Parkers Paradise. She is such a giving person! I am so loving this pineapple light! I love the way it glows at night. Thank you so very much Linda!!





This next surprise came from Lecia over at Farmhouse Prims. Lecia is another giving person. This story is kind of funny....there was a pinkeep that I had made up that she liked that Becky had bought so on this last group of keeps that I made, I made Lecia one just because I knew that she liked it. So I sent it off last week. In the meantime, I guess Lecia had been thinking about me and decided to send me one of her awesome bonnets. I received it yesterday and then she received the pinkeep today. She emailed me and told that I didn't need to send her anything for the bonnet that she sent me. Well I didn't, it just so happened that we were both thinking about each other at the same time! LOL! I thought that was pretty neat. So anyway, here is the bonnet that I got from her! I'm loving it! Thanks so much my friend!!



A couple of weeks ago I ordered some button salt dough bowl fillers from Michelle over Sugar House Creations. They came last week and I am just loving these. Thanks so much Michelle!!





I had my car all washed and cleaned up last week, but of course it rained the next day so it's a mess again. Here it is all cleaned up!



I had to take a picture of Fat Cat the other day. It's so funny seeing him sit this way.



I'm putting some new stuff on ebay today or tomorrow. These little ditty bags with George and Abe on them. The ragg taggs are made by Susie at Yankee Lane Primitives.





Well that's it for me! Still working on a couple of swaps. The one I need to get out of here in the next couple of days as it's due. Have a great week everyone!

Firecracker Kid's giveaway!!

You all need to go over and sign up for Carol and Timmy's giveaway! Not just one winner but THREE!!! Their stuff is awesome and the winnings are a surprise.

Lots of new pinkeeps, candle mats, treasures and a Mid Life Crisis!!

Hi everyone! Hope your Sunday is going well! It's hot and hot here.

I just got done listing a bunch of new pinkeeps and candle mats on ebay. Here are some pictures of what I listed. I have also finished some other things but they are for swaps so I can't show them!







Last week, a friend and I went to this really really small town not far from me to see some friends. I don't even think this town/village is incorporated!! So our friends weren't there yet so we found this really awesome junk store. You can barely walk in this place and it is old also. Used to be some kind of a general store. I could have bought so much more!! I will be back there some day. This is what I ended up with. More frogs and they still had more at this store!! I love the picture frames. There is also a biscuit cutter and an old cigarette roller piece. And the pin cushion is so cool. I noticed I didn't get a picture of the blue banded crock that I also got.



Now for the last part of my title. My hubby tells me I'm going through a mid-life crisis...lol!
I went and got another tattoo. This is on my leg. This is a butterfly if you can't tell. Now actually, I probably would not have gotten this but is was almost free!! I only had to pay $35.00 for this $100.00 tattoo. It was a raffle type thing that was being held at the bar that I go too. And then 2 days before that, I got my nose pierced. Just a little stud is all, but I'm really liking it. I know alot of people are against that kind of thing and that's ok, but this is me.
Your opinion....crisis or normal....lol!!



Well that's it for me...you all have a great week!!
