For all of you that are new to my blog here is a quick rundown of my life:
My great hubby and I  have a small farm and grow chemical free produce and raise chickens for eggs.  I am fully licesensed to bake and sell at local farmers markets and opened a small town bakery in Fennville with my mom's flower shop.  I love to do altered art/scrapbooking and mixed media along with paint primitive treasures.  I believe in buying local and handmade to keep our creativity unique!!  You might see me in craft shows in and around MI thru the fall and winter.    AND I have 3 boys "dogs" that are the light of my life!!  Love you boys!! Buster, Bubba and Barney as you see on my side bar.  That is about it plain and simple and I LOVE MY LIFE!!
Thanks for stopping on by the farm.

Ok so here is the 2nd giveaway~~ A handmade card that has the word CHERISH stamped on it using JUST RITE stamps,  I made the little paper rose on the heart and loved it so much added some to the side of the altered little shadow box captured fairy I made.

You will get both the card and the shadow box!!

Altered sunday here

Happy happy march!! Gosh this year is just flyin by but one great thing is SPRING is right around the corner!! YEAH!~!! and ya know what my mom and I have our birthdays this month too!!! YEPPER still 30 something here!! and holding for quite awhile too!!LOL
I got up extra early for ME ME ME quality creating time this am!! LOL never enough creative time for me lately. Another captured fairy here in a shadow box. This one says "spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly" with the word imagine stamped on outside of light blue frame. A bit of shimmer mist is added along with blue and green ribbons to hang this on your wall or near a door to welcome guests.
This frame was bright gold so the prim gal in me sanded and aged it along with antiquing gel and ink. I added a great vintage girl pic with pink wings along with some pretty pastel and white flowers and stmaped chalk flourishes all ontop of vintage old sheet music.
LOVE THIS FRAME!!
This is my favorite creation from this am!! A little blue bird is sitting on a nest ontop of old sheet music paper. The verse is perfect for him, I stamped and colored some dragon fly's around bird and added a silver gem for his eye. PERFECT for spring decorating!!
This is an altered pin I made. The base is very lighweight foam core board with metallic silver metal paint. Several coats of diamond glaze later this is ready to wear.

So yesterday I met my inlaws and sil and bil for breakfast it was fun!! hubby likes to sleep in on his days off which only are sat and sun so he decided to stay in bed.
