Yeah! I finished Basil!

I finally finished Basil to be entered into Raven Wood Whimzies springtime challenge.  I have to admit I have never created anything like this.  I usually follow someones creative pattern.  This was a lot of fun to see this creation evolve. A big Thank-You to Wendy for hosting this challenge.

Here is my version of Basil!

If you haven't joined in the fun yet hop on over to Wendy's blog ~ There is still time to sign up and join in.

Look what I got in the mail!

Hi Everyone!

I have to share what I got in the mail.  I love getting packages! 

I ordered this from Ivonne over at * The Crackling Crows*

I just LOVE her banners.  The colors she uses are soft and appealing to the eye.  Ivonne has so many banners to choice from or you can have her make one especially for you.

I opened the box and this is what was inside.  The wrapping was so pretty ~ I hated to untie it.

 

I Love her design on the package!

Here it is ~ My Banner!  I LOVE IT! Ivonne.  Thanks! 

I'm going to hang this banner in my craft room ~ because that's what we do ~ DREAM

If you would like to get your own banner or just check out her blog hop on over and say Hi to Ivonne

Until next time ~ Prim Blessings! ~ Robin

Winter Snowstorm Dana!

Hello Everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, it was a busy week around here.  I been working on projects for the website which I forgot to take pictures of.  I'll post pictures when I take them for the website.

My son Michael and his fiance Anita got married on Saturday Feb 19th. It was a beautiful wedding even though we didn't have a lot of time to prepare.  (I'll have to post pictures later, when my husband downloads the pictures from his camera.).  My Grand Daughter Keyarra came home with me after the wedding reception, it was very late by the time we got home.  So Sunday we were very lazy all day.  We played games, read books, watched movies on t.v. and  watched the winter snow storm Dana whip its flurry upon us.

Winter snow storm Dana started to move in before noon yesterday!

 

By late afternoon the snow started to pile up.

 Come night fall it was still snowing.

 We got quite a few inches already.

Watch the tracks in the snow.

A couple hours later!

Where did the tracks go?

Around midnight I went to the end of the driveway the wind was fierce.

In some spots the drifts were up to my knees.

Today this is what I woke up to.

It's my job to shovel off the deck. Yuck!!!

My husband was already snow blowing the driveway.

He is almost done!

It was so windy out today, the snow was blowing back in his face.

Yeah! I'm done!

While I shoveled off the deck Keyarra made Snow Angels.

No, I didn't finish shoveling the deck ~ too cold!

But with the snow I did shovel we made a snow hill.

And while I was writing this post it was still snowing. 

 The rest of the shoveling can wait until tomorrow.

Hopefully it won't be as cold!

I hope you all stay warm!

Prim Blessings!

We Won! Super Bowl XLV

Yeah!   We Won!    Super Bowl XLV   Final Score 31 ~ 25  

Way to go Packers!  GO ~ PACK ~ GO

What a great game!  I can't believe it ~ it was kinda scary at the end ~  But we did it. We're #1

If you had one shot, and one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment

Would you capture it ~ or just let it slip?

~Eminem, "Lose Yourself"

Enjoy the moment!

Prim Blessings!

Get your game face on!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Today is the day! Go Pack Go!  The anticipation is mounting. Who is going to win!

We are going to a friends today to watch the Super Bowl Game, at least the first half. We also promised out son we would come over to his house.   We will watch the second half of the game with him.  I usually don't watch many football games I prefer to be creative at that time or watch a good movie.  But I do like to watch the Super Bowl  commercials! Of course today we have to watch the game our beloved team is playing! Go Pack Go! I'm sorry I already said that, but the anticipation get over bearing sometimes it is like waiting for A Primitive Place magazine to arrive in the mail.  Where is it by the way? 

I hope you all enjoy your day! 

Until next time ~ Prim Blessings! Robin

Oh Baby, Its Cold Outside!

It is sunny out but very cold outside today.  They are saying it is -12 degrees with the wind chill it is -30 degrees.  So yes baby, Its Cold Outside!  Even Jack Frost was working overtime last night.

 My lucky husband left at 2:00 am this morning to go scuba diving in the Bahamas. I know the question WHY didn't you go?  Because I don't scuba dive :(  and I don't think I could handle being out on a ship in the middle of the ocean for a whole week surround with sharks!  He will be there for the week and he will also be there for his 50th birthday on Jan. 27th.  Now how lucky is that?

The ship he will be on is called the Morning Star.

So I'm staying home and I'm going to try to create my own little bit of sunshine! I put this grouping together hoping I could make it feel like spring!

My plans while he is gone is to Craft and Create! 

Watch the football game on Sunday! GO PACK GO! 

&

Craft and create some more! 

I'll clean the house the day before he gets home!  

Doesn't that sound like a plan?

Don't forget to sign up for my Thank-You Giveaway!  Find link on my sidebar.

Speaking about sidebar check out all the giveaways there are a lot!  Everyone must be feeling the LOVE!

Until next time~ Stay Warm!

Snow Storm Bella!

What a snowy day we had today!  They are calling it Snow Storm Bella.  It started to snow early this morning and quit around supper time.  I hope that is it for a while, my arms are still sore from shoveling last week.  This is what it looked like this morning ~ looking out into our back yard. 

In the distance you can see the covered bridge that crosses over the creek. This is a beautiful walking trail that is behind our house.  I can also see this view from my craft room ~ very pretty in any season.

I went to JoAnn fabrics  yesterday and found some good deals and some fabric for spring projects.

I wish they carried more vintage/prim fabrics in their stores.  Guess I have to make a trip to Primitive Gatherings to find what I'm looking for.

I am going to be having a Giveaway soon!  I said when I reached 25 or more followers I would do one.  Looks like I achieved that today.  Thanks to all that Follow Me~it's great to have friends and know that I am not all alone through this learning experience.    Details will be coming soon! Until then~Prim Blessings! Robin   

Whatcha been up to?

On Sat. I went to our Grand Daughter Keyarra's cheer and hip hop competition in Freedom.  

Her team won 1st. place for cheer!  Way to go girls! 

 Wolf River Stars!

 They didn't do so well in hip hop.  Practice~Practice.

Keyarra is on the right.

I've been working on some dolls for the web site.  I hope I get them finished today!

Pattern is from Prim Raggs

I also have been stitching these Prim Blessings Raggedy Annie's

I'm going to make them into little pillows.  

Pattern is by: Tanya's Prim Thyme Designs

I finally got all my Christmas decoration put away!  What a chore~maybe I should start thinking less is more! 

I wanted to share with you one of the presents I received from Vera~Kauffv Designs.  This was one of the best presents I received. She did such a wonderful job.  I Love It! 

I'm hoping she paints some for the web site!

What have you all been up to?
