So without further ado, drum roll please………………

Congrats Samantha!!! I’ll be emailing you for your addy.

Thank you all for entering. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy New Year!

I also want to share a few pictures of the crafts I’ve been working on this week.

Look at this guy!!!

Meet Oliver the snowman. He is 50” tall from floor to top of his stove pipe hat! He has possible arms, a round head, stitched eyes and mouth with a handmade clay carrot nose! I love how he turned out!!

Here’s prim Charlie the snowman. He is a design by Olde Homestead Barn.  He’s much cuter than my picture shows him to be.

Frosty Spring! He’s a design by My Primitive Saltbox. I love how easy he was to make.

I have a few more things to finish up next week for Christmas, then I’m going to start making winter and valentine items to sell in my booths.

I can’t believe there’s only 16 days til Christmas.

My next giveaway will be in February, cause that’s when my B-day is and I’d like to celebrate with my blog friends. Maybe by then I’ll have reached 200 followers and have a big party!!

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

Some of my Christmas Decorating to share:

Hi Blog Friends,

As promised, the following pictures are of my Christmas decorations I’m using this year.

Here’s a picture of my german twig tree. I love Charlie brown type trees and a few years ago I decided to purchase a fake tree and this one really suited my taste. I got it at Flower and craft warehouse in PA. They have a wonderful selection of Christmas trees!! But not online, you have to go to their store.

I have a basket of Boyd's Bears just waiting for Santa to come. And the Santa under the tree is a treasure I purchased 14 yrs. ago. I love him, he is very time worn, I had to do some repairs of his beard this year. I guess the heat got to him over the summer…..

Here’s a few pics of new additions I picked up at some open houses I visited this season.

Small clay oval with snowman face painted on it.

This one was a cool idea! it’s a poker chip!! Someone painted the face of a snowman on and drilled a hole for hanging.

 

This is another handmade someone did on a larger chip!

This is the back of the one above.

I love this tree!! I purchased it about 10 yrs. ago at a shop in PA. I’ve not seen one anywhere since. Its made of metal with little hooks on the ends of each branch to hang your ornies on. I decorate it with small reproduction glass ornies.

Close up of the base.

This is one of my favorite feather trees. I used little rice lights and wrapped the trunk of the tree with them then used small snowman faces to decorate.

Here’s some of my favorite items I used to decorate with this year. 

This Santa Rabbit was made by my mom years ago. I treasure it. My mom passed away back in 2006 and I really do miss her. She was a very talented women.

Another wire tree I bought several yrs. back. Love the snowman head on top.

My snowman candle holder I won from Deb at Paxton Valley Folk art. It greets me at each meal as I have it sitting on my kitchen table.

Well that’s about all the decorations I'm putting out this year. Keeping it simple.

Don’t forget to go down to the next post and sign up for my little giveaway!!

Have a great weekend and Thank you for visiting,

Prim Blessings,

I may even have a surprise or two to add to this little giveaway, but I'm not telling you what that may be. This giveaway is open to US and Canada residents only.
