A Few More Touches!!!!

He enjoyed this Halloween decorating....Mom did too!!:) :) :)

Just a touch of Halloween...I brought some things in and took them back out...They scared Luke...So, two simple light up pumpkins and some rubber mice is all we have out...Maybe more next year, but maybe not...

~~hugs, Jen

Christmas is getting closer!

I have passed this simple Christmas sampler a thousand times while it has been laying  beside my sewing machine the past couple of weeks...As I glanced at it today I said "It is time!"....So I grabbed it up, chose a simple tea dyed osnaburg I always keep nearby, and started sewing...It came out as I planned...A simple Christmas sampler pillow...I think I will try to make some for all my primitive chairs if I have time....

My plate is really full...I've gotten orders in for the personalized name samplers I showed in a previous post along with some Christmas items....I'm working on my huge Christmas sampler that I'm trying to get finished to turn into a pattern...Life is good!!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes!!..You're all so sweet!!

I hope you're having a good Thursday!...We got much needed rain last night, but the A/C has been turned back on once again since Monday (as if it even went off)...It has been so muggy, but the temp is suppose to drop some this weekend...

Until next time!!~~hugs, Jen

Aww! It's my birthday all day!!!..I've been overwhelmed by birthday wishes from old childhood classmates, family, and friends in phone calls, emails, and facebook!...The computer is a wonderful thing!!!

I wanted to share with you the post I got from my daughter, Taylor...She went to class this morning and came home with a big bouquet of balloons and made me breakfast before heading back to school...THANK YOU TAYLOR!

 Thank you all for blessing me by coming to see what goes on in my little part of the world....With compliments, words of encouragement, and sharing your world with me....I'm blessed on this, my 44th birthday, that God has given me!!...May God bless you all in return!!...BIG HUGS, Jen

We made a trip to Northwest Georgia this past Friday...Trenton, GA...Tim's hometown and where we lived for the first 9 years of our married life...It is also where i spent my holidays and summers while growing up while visiting my grandparents and family...

It is beautiful there surrounded by two mountains...Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain...

Tim played football in high school, so we went in on Friday, so he could watch a football game...I hung out with one of my best friends, Kathy Ross...WE have been friends for about 23 years and usually when we visit I just run by and see her...But this time we ate dinner and hung out....The first time since we left Trenton 14 years ago...It was great spending time with her!!!

Then on Saturday we headed back toward Atlanta to spend the afternoon with my family....And when I go to visit I always visit Liz's Antiques...As usual I brought a few things home with me....A chair (YES, I have a few..lol) and a crock....The crock on the right in the picture...

But while still in Trenton, Tim's aunt, Louise gave me a piece of an antique baby bed...She has one piece of it in her home with candles and such hanging from it...Isn't it WONDERFUL??!!??!?!?!?!?!..I'm seeing early blue fabric hanging on it...

The only reason we could get it in our SUV is because Taylor didn't come with us on this trip...Our first trip without her...She went on a trip with a bible study group...

I hope you're having a great day!...I didn't get enough sleep last night, so I've been dragging today...UGH!..I hate days like this when I don't get much done!...Well, off to work on laundry!

Until next time!!~~hugs, Jen
