~Prim Angels and Cookie Cake~

About a week and a half ago…Dawn from “Holly Hills Primitives” showed a prim angel on her blog that she had made. I emailed her to see if she still had the doll in her shop…she did and now this wonderfully prim angel is hanging on the wall in my living room. She is wearing an old white christening gown and is about 36 inches long. (Thanks Dawn…she is awesome!! I enjoyed talking to you on the phone and I can’t wait until I can come up to your shop in MI.)

 She is perfect with my decorating style…I still love prims, but am going with lighter colors. I just love the weathered old white items and I really like how they stand out against my black country pieces of furniture.

On Friday, I went to a holiday craft show with my sister and a friend. We had alot of fun…my sister got my Christmas gift and gave it to me early, so that I could put it on top of our tree.

 Isn’t she just the cutest little snow angel!! I’m going to leave her out all winter with my other snowmen in my ever-growing collection. Not sure why…but I’m crazy about snowmen…just love them!!

Now about the cookie cake….

 I just had to show you this big “Oreo Cookie Cake” that I made to take to my sister-in-law’s for Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday evening. Needless to say…it was a big hit.

I hope to start my Christmas decorating tomorrow. I’ve been busy the last week or so working on some swap goodies, an order, and a surprise for the winner of  my giveaway. Things went a little slower than planned…my embroidery program started doing crazy things. Mr D. came to my rescue…he updated my computer with a new operating system and then reinstalled the embroidery program. I happy to say that everything is working great now.  So I’ll be sharing pictures of those goodies here soon…after everyone gets all their items.

Until next time…..       blessings, Cindy


~Giveaway Winner Is…~

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!! Just a little while ago, I closed the sign-ups for my Christmas giveaway and I placed all of your names into my pretty red Paula Dean bowl..

… and mixed them up real good!!

Then I reached in and picked a winner…

Congratulations to Carmen of “Waxed Out Creative Life”…she is the winner of my Christmas giveaway. All of these goodies will soon be on their way to her.

Plus this Judy Condon book.

Thanks to everyone that enter and shared your favorite things about Christmas with me. It is a very special time for me… I got engaged on Christmas day 32 years ago. Plus  both of my girls were actually due to be born on December 25th, but my oldest came 3 weeks late  and my youngest came 3 weeks early. I love everything about Christmas…the music, the decorating, the baking, picking out gifts for my family and friends, and spending time making memories with them.  Last but not least…I love celebrating the birth of our Savior that was born in a manager so long ago.

Until next time…..        blessings, Cindy
