Brown Paper Packages...


Hey Y'all how are ya today?
I am starting to feel like we will never get a frost this year! I must admit it is frustrating me this year...ha ha ha.
It is supposed to be in the upper 70's low 80's for the foreseeable future...so not feeling like fall!
any way...how are things in your neck of the woods?
I finally got all the packages for swaps out today and a couple of other goodies as well.
Happy Mail

Well at least I hope the folks who get them are happy, putting the boxes and envelopes together  made me very happy.
I love getting packages wrapped in brown paper, It is silly, but I do !
So I usually, wrap the ones I send out too.
Now if the post office would still let us tie them with string...

    Hello Neighbor! Glad to meet someone else from VA! I am on the SW side of Virginia! Maybe some day we can meet up somewhere half way!

    I love brown paper wrapping and that's what I wrapped all my Christmas packages in last year. With plaid ribbon. Nothings prettier!

    Love your blog!

    Sigh. I miss brown paper wrapping. And yes- it is shame we can't use string or twine anymore. I have a spool of beautiful red and white bakers twine that would look so cute against the brown paper. :)

    Jenny, We are so alike. The post workers in my town always tease me about my brown paper wrapped boxes. I too miss the string!
    Can't wait to get your ornaments. I am only peeking at one of each persons so that I too will be surprised when everyone shares them. Can't wait!
    Thank you again, and again. Elizabeth

    Brown wrapped packages in the mail - they're always the best. And yes, with string was so much better!
    Looks like you're having tons of fun ...

A RE-Post...

Hey Y'all! How are ya today? The weather is cooler...I am anxiously awaiting the first frost of fall! I think that is my favorite day of the year...well next to a snow day that is! I was fiddling around my blog, looking at the page views and out of nowhere this post had 6 views today, so I thought I would re-post it, I still feel it and believe it as much today as I did last year when I wrote it. As a matter of fact, reading it made me feel better. This post is from last November, I did a month of counting my blessings, this was day 2. Today I am thankful and blessed. I am thankful today that I am saved by grace. I love knowing Jesus as my savior. Image from google I love the knowledge that no matter what He is there for me. My dad told me once that when times are so tough, if you just imagine sitting with Jesus and talking to Him it will get better. I often picture in my minds eye sitting on the beach with Jesus on my right and my dad on my left and my husband behind me

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. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as

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
