Gingerbread Swap!!!

Good Morning Prim Friends!

Amy from over at Bumble Bee Lane put together another wonderful swap.

This one was called Gingerbread Swap.

Amy and I were partners on this swap and once again Amy spoiled me!

Let's take a peek shall we ~

A wonderful Santa ornament from Boyds!

I just love Boyds ~ as most of you know I collect Boyds plush bears and accessories.

(I know I've been promising to show my collection and I will get on that!)

A huge hooked stocking ~ and I do have a lot of wishes that could fit inside!!!

Can you guess were this came from?  If you guessed Boyds ~ your right!!!

I just Love this folk art snowman with his big smile ~ so me!

and look at these wonderful prim pears!

If you know Amy ~ she doesn't sew much so when you get something like this you know they came straight from the heart!!!

 

Yep there is more ~

Oh ~ I just Love this!!!

I Love the way Amy packaged this up.

Blacken Santa snuggled in sheep's wool which reminds me of his beard and jingle bells! 

What Santa doesn't have jingle bells? 

 

Here's a close-up of Santa!

So Sweet!

A yummy smelling candle, a Boyds bearwear angel pin and a Boyds card!

 

Thanks so much Amy ~ you really spoiled me with soooo many wonderful goodies!

I had so much fun finding the perfect spot to show them off!

 

If your not a follower of Amy ~ jump on over and pay her a visit!

Dinning room into the living room.

I Loved how my tree looked this year!!!

My hutch ~ that's where I have some of my paper mache' Santa's that I made.

For Christmas I got a lot of wonderful things  ~ Here's a few of my Favorites!!!

A wonderfully prim doll from my nephew ~ Cody!

A Billy Jacob print from my son Michael and DL Anita!

I so LOVE the colors in this picture!

My husband Zeke gave me the 2011 crystal star from Swarovski to add to my collection.

"SO BEAUTIFUL"

My daughter Amanda gave me this adorable snow globe!

I LOVE snowmen and snow globes ~ such a perfect gift!

My girlfriend Mary gave me a new lotion bar ~ I was so hoping I would get one.

I Love these lotion bars ~ being a crafter and working on wood outside my hands get really dry and these are the best!!!! They are all natural and smell like chocolate ~ I got the lip balm too!
I'm addicted!!!

Thanks Everyone for all the wonderful gifts!!!

This year I got a chance to go the Garden of Lights at the Green Bay Botanical Gardens.

I Love Christmas lights ~ just wished there would of been some snow!

My Granddaughter Keyarra ~ she had to have the 3D glasses and popcorn for the show!!!

She is standing in the 60 foot caterpillar gleaming with 20,000 LED lights.

I can't even tell you how many times we walked through the caterpillar!

I don't like spiders ~ but this one is beautiful!

Some pretty flowers!!!

And the best for last!

The most Beautiful Christmas Tree!!!

This display was a 45 foot tree with 20,000 LED lights!!

I've also been working on some Valentine creations.

When I get them all finished ~ I will show you again!!!

Today it is really warm out, so I'm going to take advantage of it and go outside and sand some boards for some orders that I have to get done.

But before I go I have one more picture to show you ~ This one made me Laugh!!!

My husband was eating rib eye ~ do you think he has enough to share???

Merry Christmas ~ Friends!!!

My Christmas Wish For You

My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun

I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer

May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought

May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold

I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too ..

Merry Christmas!

Remember Me???

Hello Everyone!

I've been missing in action lately and I'm so sorry about that.

I've been trying to keep up with everyone and commenting when I can.

I have so much going on in my life I really don't know where to begin.

Some things are personal some are not. 

I really don't want to talk about the personal things ~ so we will just set them aside.

Lets just talk about the fun things ~ we enjoy must!

So you ask ~ Where have you been or What have you been up to?

I've been crafting as much as I can ( when the personal things don't get in the way) for my website,  for my booth at Cedar Ridge, special orders, and for my exchange gifts for my family!

BEWARE!!!  This post is loaded with pictures!!!

I've been crafting!!!

Prayers and Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Like the saying goes ~ "I'll be back again someday!!!"

Christmas Blues

I think I was going through the Christmas Blues.  Christmas was such a rush and it happened to fast. It was here and then it was gone.  For days after Christmas I was lazy and didn't want to do anything.  It had to be the Christmas Blues!   I didn't know what to do.
So yesterday I had my Grand daughter Keyarra come over to spend the night.   We had a ball!  We made cookies, baked a cake in her easy bake oven lol, made some more peanut butter balls (they are her favorite) played sorry and guess who, painted each other nails, watched movies and I taught her how to stitch.  She traced a picture from her coloring book and wrote her name under it, then she traced her design onto fabric and picked out her colors, I got her started and she did most of it on her own(I had to get the knots out) but she had fun and she learned something new.  As soon as I get the pictures down loaded from my camera I will show you all her finished product.
Now I feel better and full of energy I think that's what I needed, just some time to feel like a child again!
I've been reading every ones blog and it looks like most of you had a wonderful Christmas and I'm happy for you.  To the few that were sick or had lost a loved one, I pray for you and hope for a quick recovery.
I hope your New Year is better and brighter! Prim Blessings! Robin
 

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all have a wonderful and joyous day with your family and friends.
