Can you find anything.......... Part 1

It has been about a year since I started going all prim, can anybody find any of the prim items that have been made by them, almost all have either been swaps, trades, wins, or inspired by you all? Thank you all for making my prim dreams (the whole house) off to a great start looking foward to 2012.

Thrift Store finds

Plus a grater and a candle saltbox light all for 4.60. Good finds today

Thrift Store Finds

What I've been up to

Just some stuff I've been working on, focusing on using what I have, doing some organizing in the craft room and trying to get some of the stuff used up.

BAH HUMBUG

My truck I got back in may was smashed into Saterday morning by 2 young kids. It has over 7000 in damage and will be about a month before it gets back. The reason for this post is I am so thankful noone was serious hurt. As much as I loved the truck it can be replaced but lives cant. Thank you god for looking out for everyone.

Crafty Stitchers Swap GREATIES

Recently I won a a wonderful Halloween bag holder from her, and i saw on her blog how she needed spools, well i have tons of them but wasn't sure they was want she wanted but I sent her a picture and she agreed to swap, I really didn't care what she sent me cause i love everything she post on but this was fabulous. My first prairie dress! I was so ecstatic when I saw this still am!! The colors are amazing eventually when I get my kitchen back together I think I'll hang it on a peg rack, but I wanted it up ASAP so this is its temporary home. She also sent me the little prim doll with a neat nametag. Sarah colors match perfect and she looks primnastic with the all her friends. Wow it feels like xmas can't wait to get everything hung back up and organized. Thanks all my blogging friends you guys ALL make my day.

Ginas Bing win

Hi, I participated in a fun Bingo that Gina hoste (Cat nap Prim), I didn't win but I think she felt bad for me and sent me the bobby prize. The dough fall bowl fixing are coated with wax they should last for ever, and i just love the 2 kitchen towels they were wrapped in look how great they match my half-done kitchen, she must have done her homework and really took the time to get to know me. Thanks Gina I Love them.

The last 2 pictures are just to show how perfect the colors match my kitchen

Yard Sale Re-do

This was a plain wooden box that was used on back of a 4 wheeler (cost $5.00), It's amazing what a piat brush and stencil can do!

Truckin candy

These were a good seller last year so I thought I'd try 2 more.

My weekend project

Painting a bright blue gloss hall to a flat pale yellow. What a project!

So excited I have been so busy just finished up 4 Halloween candy mugs this morning for a show . Please tell me what you think I should ask for them. The price I had in mind a couple was saying was to cheap. I figure i only have around 4ish in them (I'm a thrifty shopper) but what would you give for them

Weekly Bing Prize Win and Envelope Swap

I was lucky and won the weekly Bingo drawing over on the Prim Pals forum, Look at all the wonderful goodies Ginny sent me, the lights are silicone dipped. Thanks Ginny for hosting the weekly drawing.

i participated in the envelope swap on the forum also and was lucky to have Allison, I had never heard of her and don't know if she blogs but she really took the time to find out about me because everything she sent was Primnastic. Thanks Allison

New Idea

Well candles aren't selling we,,. everyone seems to like tart/melts better which I sell allot of but not very profitable, so I thought I'd try doing the jar candles up in basket.........

Tammy, I am so sorry . It seems having two of your orders together confused me and I just forgot one it seems. I will get them to you. It will Monday before I can mail them.. I'm getting you a box ready now. I honestly thought I mailed them to you since this order was placed before the one you just got. You should get your order sometime this week. Thanks, Janice

Happiness swap arrived

I came home from work a little early today with a sore throat, I just wanted to sleep it off, but to by surprise my Happiness swap fro Lori frisch had arrived. Of course I had to open it and now I'm to excited to sleep. i told her I loved prim and she made me this doll that matches my kitchen perfectly it's my 3rd Prim doll. I love the crow embroidery that's my second piece of stitchery I have received but not quite sure how to display it suggestions please? The Halloween ribbon is perfect for my Halloween candy bouquets. I adore the brown ribbon from japan. It will come in handy in prim crafting along with the gingham ribbon and spool. The pink wall hanger will look good with some sweet annie or pipberries. What a great package thank you it's PRIMNASTIC!
