Reminder of giveaway, Christmas swap gifts and sharing some new craft items….

Good morning Blog Friends,

Brrrr…. it’s cold outside!

Want to remind ya’ll my giveaway ends tomorrow night. I will draw a winner on Thursday morning!!  Click here to enter. Only taking entries on that post for the giveaway.


Look at what I received in the mail last night! I entered a Christmas Swap and was paired up with Casey from Classic with a pop and here is what she made me. I love it! I love the beach and now I’ll have to do a beach theme room. She made a table runner out of burlap and attached starfish to each end and gross grain ribbon to finish it off. Then she glued ribbon loops to some seashells. I think I’ll use them in a center piece as a bowl filler with sand.

Thank you Casey! Great job!

How cute is this prim panda bear! I went to a little shop up the road from me called The Shoppes at Mauzy. Click on the link to visit their website. The shop is chocked full of prim stuff. I spoke with the owner while there about doing some consignment, not sure if I will as she asks for 30% of the sale. A little steep. I know I can add it to my price but I like to make my items affordable to everyone.


Ok, here are some pics of things I’ve been working on the past week.

Prim Snowy’s and Nicks on a stick! got the pattern from My Primitive Saltbox. She sells her patterns for $2.00 each and I am loving making all the patterns I have purchased. I sell these for $8.95 each in my selling booths.

Christmas Mice! These are my own design and are oh so cute! I have been selling them for $8.95 at my selling booths and they disappear quickly! I love the top pic. I made a bottle brush tree for him to hold.  I got the technique for making bottle brush trees out of sisal twine from a blog buddy but can’t for the life of me remember who??? Sorry.

Prim Santa doll of my own design. I think he turned out oh so sweet! He’s holding a prim candy cane I made and added greens and pips to it. Gonna sell him for $16.95 in my booth.

Gotta get back to working on more crafts. I have a bunch of Christmas stuff to finish up before it’s to late to sell Christmas stuff!! Where does the time go?

Have a great day. Will be back on Thursday to post the winner of the giveaway!!

Good luck to all,

Prim Blessings,

Jean

  4. I have an upstairs bathroom that was already painted blue when we moved in. I was wanting to go with a beach theme and it worked perfectly! I never thought about putting ribbon loops on shells, cute idea! It is nice to have a fun room where all the others are prim, even if it is only a small bathroom.

    You have a lot of creativity and talent girl to come up with all these ideas by yourself! I wish I had some of that! I always have to follow a pattern, I'm afraid to get very far from it, haha. Your hand mades are wonderful!
