I WON

I am so excited...I actually won something. A few weeks ago I entered a giveaway on The Fabulous Find (her button is located on my sidebar) at a chance to win a Jamie Rae Hat. These are so cute and stylish. This is not the hat I won. Go check out her site at www.jamieraehats.com. She is so talented.

Now as you know I do not have a little girl but we were blessed on Sept. 10th with a new addition to my husbands side of the family...and it was a girl, her name is Summer Jane. I do believe she is the cutest baby girl I have ever seen and will look so cute & stylish in her new hat.

Summer will be making her blog debut sometime this week. I am so excited she is coming to our house tomorrow night to get her pictures made...and I am hoping the hat will be delivered today or tomorrow so I can get a picture of her modeling it.

Also, click on The Fabulous Finds button on the right side to visit this site. This site is cool. She does product reviews & giveaways of the neatest things. Alot of the stuff she reviews or givesaway I have never heard of. She is one talented business lady. She has started I believe 2 children clothes lines and had various other jobs in the business industry. Trust me you will be glad you found the site. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!!

ETSY

I added more appliques to my ETSY shop yesterday...here they are.











These are ready to be ironed on....how simple is that...or after ironing on they can be hand or machine stitched to add a little something to it. I love the E & H material...so great for Fall. Look back later in the week for a little something for the spooks.

Goodbye Summer..Hello Fall

I love Fall....it is probably my favorite season. I love to decorate inside and out. We usually have a Fall Fun Fest for our family and friends in our backyard. Everyone has been asking if we are having it this year, and yes we are having it just have to work out the plans.

So with the seasons changing it was time to take down my front door decoration. I was soooo proud of this because I made it. This was the first time I was actually able to finish a floral arrangement. My mom didn't believe me when she first saw...she finally believed me when I showed her all the stuff I purchased to make it. Here is a close up of it....

I really hated to take it down....I really like it. Here is a view of it hanging on the door....

Sorry the pic is not straight...that really bugs me.. :)

Here is a closeup of my new scarecrow I purchased at our local flower shop.... and again...

I think he is cute but I am not please with the way it looks....I am going to search through my fall stuff this afternoon to see what else I have to hang up...may add a little something to him to spruce him up.

More pics to come as I finish decorating for fall. If you love fall like I do...post a comment or add it to your blog. I would love to see how everyone else decorates. Have a great weekend.

Groovy Stripe Airplane Applique

Appliques

Wanted to post some pics of some appliques I have been working on for a customer. So Chrissy if read this I will be sending you a email today.

She ordered the E and I for her children and the K for her niece. I threw in the lower case letters for FREE...see you never know what else you might get when you order from me. It's just a little way for me to say "Thank You". I love the colors!!

Next up... I have started making for my nephew whose due date is in January.

I guess you can tell he will be named Lee... ;) I still have several other items I am working on for him and more for the etsy shop.

I know this will be random but I am thinking about putting together a Craft Fair. This is something I have been thinking about for some time now and since a local club is not having Autumn in The Park this year I thought it would be great to have it around the time of the Christmas Open houses on the square. This is just a thought...but if you are reading this and would be interested in participating please contact me. The show would probably be held on Friday afternoon and Saturday November 13th and 14th.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

WARNING....PICTURE OVERLOAD AHEAD

What a weekend and it's not even over. Chris went out of town Friday morning and just returned about an hour ago, needless to say the kids are running wild around the house now.

Yesterday was a big day for us. We (my mom, Erin & Shayla...my younger cousins & I) took the kids to Cookeville to see the Train Depot.

The actual depot was closed for the holidays so all we could do was climb on the train, I told them we would go back another time to see inside. Carson was not in the best of moods. I could not get him to smile for anything and Andrew was too amazed. Here are some pics from the visit.

Then we took a little stroll to The Candy Caboose in the older part of town. This was the cutest place and I knew Andrew would LOVE it...and I was right.

Then we headed back home to rest for the 2nd part of the big day.

After a little rest...no naps I would like to add we were off to the fair for some fun and
excitement.

This was the first time we have been able to see my uncle pull the tractor and the kids were amazed. It was very loud and boys loved all the black smoke.

It was a long day and night....it was almost midnight before we got to bed and they were so tired. This is what I woke up to this morning...
Priceless.

P.S.

Don't forget to enter for the GIVEAWAY....ends tomorrow night at midnight.

BLOGAVERSARY + 100TH POST ='S FREE STUFF

I can't believe this is my 100 th post and also my 1 year blog anniversary was in August. I have had such a wonderful time making new blog friends and seeing so many awesome blogs.

This started out as a way for me to display my photography, talk about my family, and showcase my jewelry. Who knew that in a year I would have people in other states and countries purchasing my jewelry. It just blows my mind!! I am truly blessed beyond measure!! I am so blessed to have a husband that supports me in my ventures (even though he might make some comments about my spending sometimes). This is a way for me to create and a stress reliever.
