Been A Long Time...

Since I have posted. I really haven't been doing much. Just working and decorating for the holiday. I did quit my job at Joanns. It's a nice place to shop but working there is a totally different story. I was actually sick of looking at fabrics and craft items. I just came home from work one day after a long day at Joanns and closed the door to my craft room. It has been closed for over a month if not a little more. I finally opened the craft room door over the weekend. I just stood in the middle of room and just looked. I didn't realize how much stuff I have accumulated over time. I have enough stuff in there to do a few craft shows.  My hubby and son cleaned out the garage not to long ago. I have even more stuff out there. Its so amazing just seeing what a pack rat I have become. I did decide that I am going to do a craft show this spring. It will be my first one. I hope by deciding to do a show will get me out of my crafting rut. As you can also tell, I have been in a blogging rut also.I have been reading others blogs but just haven't  been commenting on any. I just feel like I am lost for words.

I really haven't done a whole lot in the past 2 months. I did get a new tattoo for my 42nd birthday on my lower arm.

It isnt anything fancy. Just a few scrolls with purple hearts. I just love purple.

If anyone needs a little seasonal cheering up. Just go to the bottom of my page. I thought I would add some spice to my holiday blog.

Merry Christmas and Prim Blessings,
    Patti

   

2 Winners and Some Good News

I am so sorry that I am a day late. I'm sure some of you are excited  to see who won my giveaways. I have to tell you this was a fun giveaway to do. Even though I just posted the glass pumpkin and a bag of candy.  I have also been working on some surprise to go along with it. Plus since I hit 100 followers I have decided to have a second place winner. I did announce that their prizes were a surprise also. Don't you just love surprises. I know I do.

I place everyone name in the bowl on purple paper.(I just love purple!) Then I had my hubby draw 2 names for me. The first name he drew was:

Jessica from "Blessings in the Country " is the winner of the pumpkin jar,candy corn and some surprises.
Since I hit 100 followers during my giveaway. I have decided to give a second winner. My second winner he drew  was:

Carmen and The Primcats. She will receive some surprise winnings also.
Now all I need for my 2 winners is that you to email me your addresses.

Now for some more good news. I just got a 2nd job. Its in a pretty wonderful place to work for a crafter.

It could also get me into some trouble. I just have to learn to restrain myself....lol  I guess I should tell you where I got a job at.                                                                                                                                          

I was so excited when I found out that I got the position. Now I can got to work and when Im done for the day. I can go shopping. Woo-Hoo!  Halloween and fall stuff is 60% off right now. Christmas stuff is already being put out.

100th Post and A Celebration Giveaway!!!!

Today is an important day for me. I have reached my 100th post. I am thrilled that I have reached this huge milestone. Believe me it a HUGE milestone for me. Here lately I have been having a hard time posting. I guess you could say I have writers block. Through my adventures in blogland, I have come across some very talented fellow blogger and special friends. I do appreciate everyone for putting up with me. To show my appreciation I am having a 100th post celebration.  So lets start the Celebration!

 

Pumpkin jar with orange/black homespun

Brachs Candy Corn

 The pumpkin jar and candy is just for starters. I will be adding a few more things in the giveaway as time goes on.

Here are all the rules:
1. You must be a follower and leave a comment. New followers welcome. If you don't have a blog just leave your email address so I know how to contact you if you win or you can send me an email.
2. For a second chance post the giveaway on your blog.
3. For a third chance add it to your sidebar.
So that gives you 3 entries.

The last day to enter will be October 14th. I will be drawing a winner on October 15th.

Good Luck and Prim Blessings,
                Patti

Potato Candy

When I posted about making potato candy. I have had some people tell me that they have never heard of it .
Its a real easy recipe. Rather a little messy to make but well worth it I found a video on UTube on how to make it. I figured I would share that with you instead of  trying to explain it. How to make potato candy
Just a fair warning. These 2 ladies will probably have you dizzy by the end of the video....lol
