Snowman time

Hey yall!!!
Wow hard to believe it was 80 degrees outside yesterday!! and in the 70s today then tonight some storms coming thru and cooling it off!!  I so hope it does cool off some of my spring plants are turning green!!!  Not good!!  but with all the rain and warm weather we have been having things are crazy round here!!

I have been busy painting and altering some spoons into ornies for my friends store Farmhouse Chic.

I bought a bunch of nice large spoons this summer at thrift stores and of cource cannot find them now when I need em!!  I do that so often!

I did paint up some more of my little snow guys!!  I love their little faces.

And this gal is blinged up on an old glass jar filled with sparkles, lace and mini white feather tree. 

I did some of these altered frames last winter and they sold well so need to work on some more for the upcoming holiday season.  Cant really believe it is that time of year already!!  Goodness time flies!!

Hope yall have a wonderful day!!  WE have rain coming and windy today but clearing up and warm this afternoon and rain mostly in am tomorrow so not sure what to do for my market.  Guess I will wait and see what happens in am.

Back from show

My boys just relaxin!!

Here's a few pics of my booth from sat. IT was a good show!! all the signs went first thing and 2 women were actually bickering over the sign with the crow when it opened. LOL I only had the one guess next year will have to make more. I just dont like to paint the same thing over and over since I dont use patterns they turn out different which I like!

These are the 2 tan one finished!! I like them alot but think I like the green backround a bit better.???







So today I guess it will be more painting to replace them for the next show sat.

I have been accepted in CHRISTMAS THRU LOWELL!! and am really excited there are several several places to shop for handmades thru the town!!

I will be in the United Methodist Church on main street SATURDAY FROM 9-4 and cant wait to see all the decorations. Even folks living in town have opened their homes full of booths and treasures to be found!!!
chick it out on their website

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!

AND ALL YOU HUNTERS OUT THERE BE SAFE!!
