HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY & New Listings

I want to take this time to wish evreyone A VERY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!  I hope your day is filled with love and happiness!  And I have new listings in my Etsy shop.
When I made the liquid soap dispensers, I fell in love with it.  But I wanted a toothbrush holder and cup dispenser to match and couldn't find the right rusty rings to match.  Well I found them and I now have the toothbrush holder and the disposable cup holder  to blend in with the soap dispenser listed in my Etsy shop.

I have several different labels for the soap dispensers to match different tastes.  Until next time...

New Listings

For some reason I am in the Americana mood.LOL  And it hit me last Saturday to turn one of my stars into an Americana star and I love the way it turned out.  I just got it listed tonight in my Etsy shop.  Head over and check out my other Americana items.  www.yorkiesprimitives.etsy.com

Man's Best Friend

I have heard that dogs are man's best friend but I have never seen a dog show it's affection like Jeeter does to my grandson, Jacob.
I was outside the other day while Jacob was feeding Jeeter and all of a sudden Jeeter jumped up and put his paws on Jacob's shoulder and buried his head in his neck to give him a hug!  I think this picture says it all.

Isn't this the sweetest thing you have ever seen?

And then there is our dog, Pepper.   Chester got Pepper when she was 6 months old.  She had been abused and would not let us touch her for about a year.  And now you can't separate the two of them!  As soon as he comes out the door Pepper jumps up and runs to him.

And she is the most loyal member in our church! LOL  We attend church behind our house and she follows him every service.  Much to everyone's dismay she doesn't let anyone touch her because of her fear of people.  

But while church is going on she lays beside Chester's car and about every 15 minutes she gets up and walks around the church parking lot to make sure every thing is ok and then goes and lays back down beside his car.  You can't ask for a better watch dog than Pepper.  And here she goes...

We Have a Winner!

I want to thank everyone for entering my giveaway.  I wish everyone could win but unfortunately only one can be the winner.   So I had 33 entries all together with the extra chances and used my darling hubby for random number.LOL  And the winner is Country Pickens!  Please send me your address so I can get your strawberries in the mail.  Until next time...

I'm So Excited

I'm so excited!  My oldest grandson is taking a course of web designs and I am letting him practice with me. He made me a new banner for my Etsy shop and I love it!  Drop over and take a peek at it and see what you think.  www.yorkiesprimitives.etsy.com
And don't forget Tuesday is the last day to sign up for my giveaway.  I will be drawing a name on Wednesday.  Until next time...

I'm Back and it's Time for a Giveaway

Oh my gosh!  I can't believe it has been 4 months since my last post!  I woke up the first week of Oct. and couldn't breathe.  By the time I got to the doctor, my blood pressure was 186 over 90 due to lack of oxygen to my heart and I don't even have high blood pressure!  And much to his dismay, I would not go to the hospital!
So from then until the middle of Feb. it was massive doses of steroids, antibiotics and breathing treatments 4 times a day.  But finally it passed.(WHEW)!LOL  Christmas, New Years and my birthday were a haze.  But my friend, Nancy DeRosa,  will tell  you I am at my best creativity when I am on steroids.LOL  Then my back went out and spent the next 6 weeks of doctor's trying to figure out why I was in so much pain.  And then one day it just quit.  Go figure!LOl  Well I"M BACK!
And what better way to come back than to have a giveaway!!!  So I am giving away a crate of strawberries.

The strawberries you get will not be this exact crate but will be as similar as I can get.  These are listed in my Etsy shop.
The rules are very simple.
You must be a follower of my blog.  New followers are always welcome.
For an extra chance post this on your sidebar.  Just let me know in your original post if you posted it.  That's it.  But if I get to 350 followers, I will give another prize.  It won't be strawberries but it will be something for summer.  Please make sure I have a way of notifying you if you win.  The last day to enter will be April 30 and I will draw a winner on May 1st.  Until next time...
