My purchases


Girls, don't you just adore my new Valentine's pillow?  I just LOVE it! I bought this from  Shari at Homespun and Primitives.  That link is for her website to purchase her wonderful handmades and that girl is always throwing things on sale to give you a great deal!

You can also go to Shari's delightful blog:  Homespun and Primitives.  She is always showing her beautiful creations and telling you when she is having a sale.  I also bought this lovely star candle holder that will look awesome in my patriotic living room!

I can't remember what I paid for these items but I do remember thinking that I was stealing them from Shari!!  When I opened my box and saw how wonderful these items were, I wanted to send her more money because I felt like I was ripping her off!

Not only did Shari have a variety of colors for me to choose from for the pillow and star, she also surprised me with a little brown bag.  Don't you just love surprises!  This sweet little homespun heart with a rusty bell was in the bag!

Thank you so very much Shari!  You are a real sweetheart and very talented!  I love my handmades and will treasure them for years to come!  Please go visit her, I promise you won't be disappointed!

 I don't get to purchase very many prims from you all because we have been following Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.  I'm happy to report that we paid off a loan today!!  YAY!!  Now we have two loans that total $5,000 and a student loan from when my husband went to school for Avionics... that one is a big one but we are tackling it one month at a time.  Sorry, I'm just so excited about it that I haven't slept for two nights, haha!  So I had to share with you.

My sweet little baby girl turned 12 this past Saturday.  I love you with all my heart Amariah Jade and I'm glad God blessed our family with your precious life!  She is the one on the right.

Well that's it for today.  I've been cleaning and organizing my kitchen.  Whew, what a job!  Gotta get it nice and clean so I can get in there tomorrow and make a big mess, lol.  I am going to be waxing some fake fruit, clothespins, and icicles.  I'll share with you all soon.

For those of you still laden with snow, I wish we could take it from you.  We've only had a couple of inches all winter and we are wanting more!  It's been getting in the 50's here, the birds are coming back and singing to us, and the sun is setting later and later.

Have a delightful week my friends~

Waxing? I love it! I am going to wax some awesome Belsnickle candles that I found at Goodwill today! I had seen the ones on different blogs--black wax belsnickle statues. They pour the wax into a mold, cool and rub with spices. Well, these little guys are already shaped perfectly and they have a wick on top so I can just dip them! When they're solid, I will just cut the wick off. I'm definitely going to post these.
I waxed clothespins last month--gave some away in my giveaway. I have a bunch of wooden eggs that I want to wax, too. And more candles, too. It's like--what can I wax next? lol
Love your pillow. I swiped a picture of it so I could make one someday. Right now, I'm cutting out stockings and britches.

Firstly Angie, congratulations on paying off the loan. We are tight also for the same reasons, we are not doing David Ramsey but similar. You deserve to buy yourself a little something! I will be happy when I can also start buying some things from all my new blogging buddies. Happy Birthday to your daughter!!

Your new pillow is pretty & the verse it wonderful. Happy Birthday to your Daughter. My only Daughter is almost 20. I am so thankful she still lives at home. When the day comes that she decides to fly away from the nest I will be crying. Your crafts sound very interesting. I will be waiting for your post on them. Dancing in joy for you. Congrats on paying off a loan. I would ship you some of our snow if I could. Blessings!

Angela said...

Love the pillow. And all the new goodies. I am off to check out the website and blog. Tell you daughter a Happy Belated Birthday. It thrills our hearts to get bills paid off. I know as we are a one income family. I have been blessed to stay home for 37 years, but financially it does have its disadvantages. I am so proud for you.
