More ornie swap goodies

Good Morning All!!

It seems that I am always playing catch up here in blog land. I am days behind again in reading what you all have been up to. I am also super far behind in posting. So sorry~but better late than never I say.

Quite a few weeks ago, I participated in an ornie swap hosted by Marie aka Olde Lady Morgan. I went for the maximum allowed ornies with 6. I posted 2 of them awhile back & am back to post another. I figure if I do 1 a day, I may get them all done before Christmas (at the rate I'm going). So today's ornie is from Karen at http://mycolonialhome.blogspot.com/.

This wonderful tag came tied to my package. It has all her info on it, so I knew who the fabulous goodie inside came from.

And this what was tucked inside the package. A beautiful mitten with a hand stitched feather tree on it. It will make a lovely addition to my tree this year. Thank you Karen~I love it!!

That's it for me today!! I'm going to try to read a few more blogs before I have to go to work this afternoon.

Have a wonderful day~Becky

Teri at http://www.whitesheepfarm.com/ is having a fabulous giveaway. She is giving the choice of 2 different groups of goodies. Head on over to check out her wonderful blog. Hurry though~you only have until December 2nd to sign up.

Enjoy your evening~Becky

Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing all my online friends a Happy Thanksgiving day.

Blessings~Becky

Ornie Swap Goodies

Remember this box from yesterday's post??? My box from OLM....

Well here are a couple of the goodies that were inside. I don't have time to post them all today, but I'll give you a peek at 2 that were in my box.


First up is this little sock ornie. Precious isn't it?? I think so. It came from Tammy at http://aprimitiveplace.blogspot.com/. Tammy's blog is a favorite of mine, so I was tickled to receive an ornie from her. Thank you so much Tammy! I love it!!

This next little goodie comes from Melissa at http://libbieshome.blogspot.com/. She made this Joy Christmas star. If you aren't familiar with Melissa's blog , stop over & say Hi. You'll be glad you did. I big thanks to Melissa for a perfectly prim addition to my tree this year.

That's it for today. I will share my other ornies in another post. I'm off to pick up my leftover goods from the craft show & then on to work until 1 a.m.

Have a fabulous Saturday~Becky

Happy Veterans Day, Snow, Projects, & a Tease

Happy Veteran's Day!!





Please take a few minutes from your busy day today to think of the men & women who sacrificed for our Freedom. We are having a discount day today former & active military men & women so I will get the chance to personally thank some of our veterans. I know the small gesture means a lot~I have had many tell me so in the past.

The last few days, we've gotten some snow. Now we didn't get alot of snow, but it was enough to cause a terrible accident that closed a major highway for hours. One person lost his life & 6 others were sent to the hospital. I was so thankful that I didn't have to work that day. This is the view out my window.

Here are a couple of my newest creations this year. A snowman pocket.

And for you Santa lovers out there, this Santa pocket. I love how they turned out. I have sent them to the craft show that I am in the weekend & will see if any come home. I'm hoping they all sell & I have to make more for next weekend's show. I can't wait for next weekend to be over~that is my last show for the year. I really want to start on some "me" projects.

And here is the tease.....my package from OLM's ornie swap showed up last night. I was almost too tired from working all day to tear into it, but it got the better of me. I had to see what was inside. Would you like to see what I got????

I bet you would, but here is where the teasing part comes in.....you'll have to wait till tomorrow to see. Hehe!! I can be a little evil too.

Come visit tomorrow~I promise to show you then. Maybe by then , some of you will have gotten your goodies. I love all of mine!!

Have a wonderful day all. I'm working VIP night tonight & have to work all weekend from 5p.m. to 1a.m. I think that's going to be a little past my bedtime.

Enjoy your weekend~Becky
