Snowmen, snowmen, snowmen

Happy Halloween!!!!

I'm SO ready to send Jas up for my Christmas decor. I want to do it tomorrow but my LR is STILL not finished. The top and bottom trim needs to be painted yet AND I have to finish the stencil. I started back in August and just cant find the time to finish!!! Its hard for me to go up and down on the ladder and Jas has been working killer hours so I cant ask him to do it. I do have a 16 yr old, you'd think shed offer eh? Especially knowing how hard it is for me to do it.  Anyhow, I would like to get it finished before I drag out all of my Christmas decor. Plus I have Thanksgiving dinner here and it would be nice to have it completed!!

Hopefully I can muster up enough energy and help and get it all done tomorrow.

I've been busy making snowmen, tons of em!!!

Thank you to all who responded to my need of finding  Santas Pipe candles/tarts. I found a few gals that make them and will be ordering some very soon:)

Have a Happy Halloween…………….

Santa's Pipe

 

I am finally feeling much better.

I can actually walk without being crunched over. It was so bad!

Thank you ALL for your thoughts, prayers and advice:)

Today I decided to take down my fall decor. Jason took Tues off so we took a ride to the shop in the morning so I could see what was sold and what was still there. It was stocked pretty full so I thought Ide take the rest of this week off and tend to some much needed chores and things around the house.

I ripped apart the LR and rearranged furniture and a few things on the walls. Took down my fall decor and put up my pine garlands and white lights. Ill wait until after Halloween to start with the Christmas decor.

Trying to craft in a room full of fall just wasn't happening for me so I got that all put away and the house cleaned in one shot!!!!

Pretty good!!

Onto my title, Santa's Pipe! A few years ago I bought a candle from Lucky Star Mercantile and it was scented Santa's pipe and everyone that walked into my house loved it.

I haven't been able to find any candles or tarts in this scent since. So my question is …………

DOES ANYONE IN BLOG LAND use this scent?

Please please please email me if you do

Until next time…….

Another Kidney Stone?

You have got to be kidding me!??

I started with mild  pain in my tummy area Fri night and just thought it was a bug or something. There is ALOT going around these parts and school these days.

Yesterday when I woke the pain was so bad I literally thought I was dying! I spent the entire day on the couch double over in pain. I had a fever of 102, not too high, but high enough to be concerned. I was hot and cold and slept in between the awful pain I was having.

About a yr ago I had the same thing and finally went to the Dr after a week of pain. It must have been a teeny tiny stone because I dont remember passing it.

Im hoping for the same thing this time….

Ive got a few orders that need to be completed and shipped this week, ladies please bare with me. Give me at least ONE extra day. I was doing ok this morning but I just need to lay down now.

Lets pray this is over real soon:)

Snowmen

Nope…..not that kind! Parts of NY got nailed with snow, some even got a FOOT! But not us, although I was wishing:) THATS CRAZY, being it is October n all….!!!!!

These guys really do melt yer heart, look how stinkin cute they are!

Everytime I walk by the this lil guy I giggle

And this fatty…..well he is my favorite!

 

 

 

 

 

We finally fired up the wood furnace last night. My fingers and toes are FINALLY thawed and not tingly and I am LOVIN every minute of it.  We are supposed to have a warm up later this week which will be nice.

Until next time……….

Alright…..how do I remove the blue from behind my pictures in Live Writer?

Christmas in October – Part 2

Happy Chilly Tuesday to ya!

Has it been cold where you are?

WOW! We’ve been running the oil furnace lately, Jas doesnt like to start the wood furnace so early in the season because the days usually end up warming up and theres no sense in wasting the wood.  I wouldnt mind……nothing beats wood heat:)

Well fire that baby up in a couple of weeks, I cant wait!

Last week I posted my Christmas in October part 1 with my stoveboard and my witch from Angie, from Love The Prim Look. We had a Secret Pal Fall Swap through Facebook and Angie was my secret pal.  Along with my lovely witch she sent me a grubby bulb, which I have in my bathroom:)

So here is part 2………

Last weekend I went to an antique/junk shop and picked up a few great wooden pieces, all of this for $19, minus the stoveboard.

 

 

 

 

After the junk shop I found an estate sale and picked this beauty up for $1! There were 66 rusty springs in there that took FOREVER to get off, haha , my poor hubby!

 

Ive got a few more pics of goodies Ive received to post but I have to take them first:)

This is my booth from last weekend, all nice n full. I wont beable to get there this weekend because Jason is cutting wood all weekend so Ill work on snowmen the next 2 weeks and switch out fall to winter then.

 

 

 

 

 

     This snowfella is my newest creation.

Im not sure when Ill get a chance to get back and post, its Holiday crunch time and I have got to get some major prims out these next few weeks. Oct/Nov and Dec will be my biggest months I think!

Until I get back…….

Christmas in October – part 1

 

Its been a while eh? Busy busy busy……Ive been! Working my butt off trying to finish up Fall prims but just as I think Im done I go to my booth and its wiped out! It is ONLY the beginning of October so I figure I better keep stocking Fall items for a few more weeks, at least!

I have a bunch of snowmen and santas cut out,  I just cant find the time to get to them!

I did however, hit an antique/junk shop and an estate sale and walked away with some great things. Which leads me to this post – Christmas in October – part 1!

My SIL and I did a swap last week, she wanted a few things and I got a sign that reads “The Keeping Room” and …………

TADA!

 

 

Ive been waiting a year to get one my stovecover! OMG, I LOVE IT! My brother Nick made it and I put my painting touches on it.

If youre looking for one, please do stop by their blog “Primitive Blessings At The Olde Farmhouse” as they make them custom order for UNDER $50.
