Country Fried Primitive NEW ITEMS

HEY there are some really cool new creations at the Country Fried Primitives Marketplace today! http://www.countryfriedprimitives.com/

Come by and take a stroll through the shoppes. Almost everyone has new goodies just in time for Mother's Day and Birthdays. OH Remember end of the school year is soon too so get that special teacher a special gift.

I get emails all the time asking HOW to get into the Marketplace to shop. So just a little tip....when you get to the home page look for the Box down the page that says Artisian Directory and click there. YOU will go to the list of all our vendors. REMEMBER if you have not signed up for the mailing list do so now so you can get in on the freebie given away each month. YOU just need to be sure to look in your emails and junk mail for a note stating you are a winner from CFP. YOU must send in your address so the prize sponsor can send to your the monthly prizw.
The email will come from that month's sponsor email account.

WANTED to show off a couple of the new creations in my shoppe and in the Marketplace too.
Here is Chubby Annie- made with Doe Suede http://tiny.cc/mQMHZ

And Cappuccino the Cat Doll- This doll is made to sit on your computer monitor or shelf. Small but ah so cute! NEW PRICE TOO!


For MOM check out my Friend at Crows In the Attic http://tiny.cc/mKULe
This is the perfect angel for any mom!


Hope you come by and visit all the shoppes in the Marketplace...Hurry things tend to move fast on the 15th!

Spring is here in Texas

WOW it is over 75 here in Dallas on this WINDY but Sunny Feb Day! Well we got our college apps in and now we are working on some aid for college. Kassy and Melissa both loved Texas Women's University so they both submitted their apps and are hoping they both get in, get the money and can room together. Just in case that falls through Kassy applied at Brookhaven too.

Well off the antibotics but the ulcer is still causing problems. Decided to stay off of glueten and hope that helps some of the pain. So while I have been sitting around resting I made up some Spring goodies. I have not decided where to list them all but might put some on eBay later this week.
This bunny tree topper (which can also be a free standing doll) is made for challenge in The Painted Daisy Community.

I had fun making up some small primitive annies in a couple styles ... One for Lemon Poppy Seeds
And one for Country Fried Primitives.

AND this cute gal is made using a Denni Doodles Pattern and can be for St Paddy's or Spring.


So excited I re-connected with some of my ZTA Sisters on Facebook and hope to see one in person this weekend! Man time really does move faster the older one gets. Hitting 50 in May but it seems like yesterday we were all parting at good ole UU.

Well gotta go work on my Vintage Easter for AB4B's Monthly Launch on eBay for March 1-2. Come over and check out our new blog too

Ramblings on a Friday the 13th

WOW The first Friday the 13 in 2009 and it was a great day. Started out by doing some window shopping at Joanns and rain into an old friend from "room mom days". Then visit the YMCA and joined for me and the hubby! Can't wait to go water walking!
Tonight we went out to Kel's this wonderful home cooking joint and had the best chicken in a long time. Brought home banana pudding for later tonight.

Finished up this cutie and she will be flying off to a special friend tomorrow.


I finished up a bunny for Country Fried Primitives and will add her in the morning..
She is just the cutest thing and sits so well on top of my monitor...Think I will call her a 'puter pet. You'll have to visit my shoppe tomorrow to see her but there are some other fun critters on there already

My sister who is also deaf and I are texting back and forth tonight and are very proud to say we are OBAMA MAMMA's. Yes we Voted for Change and look forward to 4 better years.
This election was the first one my Keelee could vote in and Kassy, my 17 year old said she sure wish she could have.
One thing we are praying for is a safe return of our all our brave men and women and that when they leave Iraq it will be better for us being there. We look upward to a better USA. It will take a while for us to get out of this hole we are in but I truly believe we will as a country be better and stronger.
