It Snowed....and the Winners!



The three biggest 'littles' were very happy to see snow falling from the sky yesterday.  Each of them got to enjoy some snow time!!  I 'borrowed' some photos of them, from their parents, to share with you.

Love this photo of Elijah watching the snow. He actually played outside twice...but the snow was so fluffy he couldn't make the snowman he wanted to. His other grandma came to the rescue though...love his 'flat' snowman!!

The best snowman making snow was by Charlotte's house....looks like the best
tasting snow was there too!



Penelope really wanted to go outside and blow bubbles in the snow...she finally
convinced her daddy to go out with her.

 

 The two littlest 'littles' passed on the snow, but I still managed to find

some photos of them to share....like that was hard!!  : )

Thanksgiving dinner was rough for Caleb...he was
REALLY tired! 
Final score: SLEEP - 1, GOLDFISH CRACKERS - 0.

Little Miss Lulu celebrated her 7 month birthday yesterday.
Love that sweet smile!!



Now for the winners of the giveaway!

 



   I asked Bill to pick two numbers between 1 and 8. 
He chose 3 and 7....that means Ann and Peggy win!! 
Here's their VERY NICE comments. 

Congratulations to both of you!!!

It's been a pleasure being part of your blogging experience. I'm very happy that I found your blog and I always enjoying seeing what you're making. You've inspired more than one project.

For years I had an angel on the top of my tree but a couple years ago I bought a star.

1500 Posts - Giveaway!!

Yesterday I shared my 1500th post on this blog!!  I've enjoyed writing my blog for almost 5 1/2 years...it's an awesome way to keep track of some of what's going on in my life.  Goodness knows I wouldn't remember most of it on my own!!

It's also been a wonderful way to meet women I wouldn't have met otherwise. Women like Joyce, Shelley, Ann, Becky, Lorraine, Linda, Sue & Dawn.  I've emailed, snail mailed, or swapped with them, we've commented on each other's blogs.  I've even talked with one of them on the phone! 

(Hi Joyce!! We will meet someday soon!)

Plus I have a whole long list posted on my blog, of all the other blogs I like to visit. 

So many neat women, so may fun ideas.

I really love having this blog and I really appreciate those of you who visit it.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making time in your busy day to stop by and see what's going on in my life! 

 

As a small gesture of gratefulness, I'd love to have a GIVEAWAY.  Everything in the above photo will go to the winner. The goodies include several things I made and a couple cute items from Target's dollar section. 

I love the little pick-up truck that's 'bringing home the tree'! 

The little tree on the spool is fun...I love making these!

A candy cane in a mitten ornament, and paper candy cane striped straws!  A matchbox with a little surprise inside, and a wooly sheep to hang on your tree. Plus a little snowman bottle!

 

How about a gingerbread man wound up in baker's twine...I had to buy one of these for me too!

Actually, I think there'll be two winners....because I put together two groups of goodies.  Nine items in each group!!  Two winners!!

All you have to do is comment on this blog post...maybe you could share what you put on top of your Christmas tree!!!

 

I'll be announcing the winners on Monday, December 9th!!

 

PS. I have a little star on top of my tree.

Update ~ Giveaway has ended.

 



Quick Craft

I like to scour the thrift stores for crafty supplies. Some of the newest items I'm searching for are eyeglasses...or more specifically eyeglass lenses.  Why?  Well, on a recent shopping trip I found something really cute made from them.

 

 

Pins!!  I bought four of them!  Aren't they cute?!

I think these will be such fun to make...especially for my little grand girls! 

I even found a couple links about making them.  Here & Here. 

The top two pins are made with paper and the bottom two with fabric. 
The possibilities are endless!  These are going to be such fun.
 

And speaking of fun....how about a little giveaway fun!

This is my 1500th post!

I have managed to stick with this old blog of mine for over four years!  To celebrate that amazing (to me at least) accomplishment I'd love to host a giveaway. 
My very next post will tell you all about it!  Stay tuned!!
