Pink Saturday

Hey Y'all,
How are you today?
I am busy as a bee here today.
I am leaving tomorrow evening for my training in Richmond, so I am trying to get everything washed so I can pack, everything clean so Lee won't have to worry over it and enough cooked so he has meals all week.
I am pooped already...ha ha ha.
PLUS I am turning 40 tomorrow.
Anyhow, on to the Pink.
The most lovely Elizabeth at Creative Breathing  sent me a sweet as can be package of Hearts, embellishments, ribbon and a Valentine Cutie Hedgehog felt character she so lovingly made, his hide is made of hearts :)  so that I could make a wreath similar to the one she made.

      She knows my affinity for the heart shape, if you didn't know I love hearts.
***THIS IS THE WREATH ELIZABETH MADE, THE PHOTO IS FROM HER BLOG THIS IS THE  LINK TO HER TUTORIAL AND POST.
and here is what I did.
I started with this really awful wreath that was meant to be a Christmas card holder, I got this as a gift 
(um, I don't think she liked me very much....ha ha ha)
It didn't take much to strip it down, I used this for 2 reasons; first no one in Franklin had any wire wreath frames in stock, second I am trying to follow Elizabeth's lead and use what I have on hand.


And here is what I came up with 
Thank you Elizabeth for the lovely gift.
You always make my heart happy!

Have a great day Y'all.
X's & O'

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners.

They also help reduce static and wrinkles.

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make...
