My Living Room

Here are some photos of my living room. I love my little house!!!

Hello Friends

Hi,
I have posted several pictures on the side of my blog. These are items that I have for trade or swap with anyone that would like to swap with me. I would love to trade for ditty bags, ornies, tarts, bowl fillers, salt dough ornies, beeswax items, old grungy cans, old tags, and anything old LOL I love all things old and primitive. I have a mixture of old pieces and reproductions in my collections. I am more country farm house than a colonial home. I am blessed to have a hubby that shares my love for old things and the things he brings home from his travels make me smile. I am also blessed that he is a handy man. We will celebrate our 30th anniversary next year. In all that time, I have never had to pay for a car repair, appliance repair,and home improvements. He can do it all. I am truly blessed.

I would love to swap with anybody willing to give me a chance. I know I am new to the primitive bloggers but I have been active in scrapbooking and stamping since 2004. I have done tons of pal swaps on www.scrapbook.com I am a great swapping partner. I love to shop for and to give to others. My pals were always thrilled with their packages. I tend to go over the dollar limit. I just like to spoil people. I treat my pals the way I want to be treated and that way I never disappoint anyone.

I hope all of you are staying cool during this heat wave we are having. Please remember to leave a bowl or two of water outside for our animal friends.

Please leave a comment or email me if you would like to swap with me.
Hugs,
Lynn

Boy it is HOT

Hello Friends,
I have been busy straightening up the house today. It is so hot and humid outside. The furbabies go outside and start panting as soon as their paws hit the porch. They are most content to lay in the house and enjoy the AC!!

Please remember the Elliott family from Raleigh, NC in your prayers. I met Patti a few years ago when I helped to start a local chapter of the Blue Star Mothers of America. Her son, Lucas, was killed this past weekend serving our country in Iraq!!! Ever since Eric joined the Army that has been my greatest fear, getting that visit telling me my son was gone. My heart breaks for Patti and her family. My family will honor Lucas and his memory by never forgetting that He GAVE HIS ALL FOR OUR COUNTRY!
May God surround Patti and her family with love, peace, and understanding during this time and as their lives go one without Lucas.

HOOAH

hello Friends

OMG!! I have had a fun time lately. I have spent hours surfing on the internet exploring all kinds of primitive blogs!!! I have found so many wonderful blogs out there!! I have contacted a few ladies and they have emailed me back. I joined my first primitive swap and my pal is Amy from Bumble Bee Lane. I am so excited to have a new prim friend. I met Linda at the Parker's Paradise and she shares my love of dachshunds. I have 4 and she has 9. So, she really has the Wienne Ranch lol. I met a wonderful lady at Backdoor Primitives and she sent me some of the handmade firecrackers. I love Americana and my house is decorated with that theme right now. I change out my bowl ornies with the seasons and I change the mantle decorations each season also. Right now, we are working on redoing our bathroom. I am waiting for hubby to put up new beadboard in the bathroom. Then I want to paint it antique white. I have been searching for barn star towel bars and barn stars hangers for the room. I also want him to build me a big shelf to go into the window opening since we no longer have a window in there. He closed that in years ago when he built a room addition onto our house. I love our country porch that he built me. It is wonderful. It is so big and there is a roof over it so we sit out there alot in the evenings. We eat meals out there and we sit and watch our furbabies play.

I am wanting to learn how to make pantry cakes and dip them in wax. If anyone has the instructions please let me know. I look forward to making lots of new prim friends.
Hugs,
Lynn

Win a mini Jingle album complete with tear bears!

Hi,
I have been MIA! I had another back surgery in November. I am praying this one has fixed me.
I wanted to share an album a fellow close to my heart consultant created and is giving away. Just go to her blog and copy the pictures of the album and paste them on your blog, face book, my space , where ever you visit and then go to http://www.createwithheart.blogspot.com/ and leave a note where you pasted it so she can see that you pasted it.
I hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas. I myself can't wait till 2010 and hopefully it will be a better year medically for me.
Hugs,
Lynn
