Look...she got it!

I got an email this morning from the person whose name I drew in Bttersweet Prims Secret Santa Swap. It is so sweet so I will share it with you:


Hi Beth!
My name is Mary, and I'm the recipient of your BEAUTIFUL gift! Thank you sooooo much! I love it! You are one talented lady.....I don't have a blog, but if I did, I'd post pictures of the gingerbread man wall-hanging, and the lovely room spray, so everyone could see them! I sprayed my entire house with the room spray, and boy, everyone loves it!

Thanks again and have a wonderful Christmas!
~Mary Okabayashi~

I took a picture before I packed it up!


I added a hang tag to that said Sweet Christmastime.
I have to tell you I was inspired by Karen of My Colonial Home she posted some wall pockets a few weeks back....so I thought it would be perfect for a gift! I am sooooo glad she liked it. Mary has a profile set up.....and she needs to start Blogging!
BLOG MARY BLOG!!!!!!!
Don't forget the contest ends tomorow at 1:00 pm (my time) We will draw a winner at 7:00!

It's Begining to Smell alot like Christmas!

Yes it is! Especially at my house, because I have been making holiday room sprays!
I smell like I have gassed by Santa and all his elves....but that's a good thing! (Um mm I think I just came up with a new scent title...I will do that tomorrow!)Anyway, I have all the holiday scents anyone could want...check it out!
Gingerbread Man, Cinnamon Sticks,Christmas Eve,Christmas Apple,Home for the Holidays, Spiced Pomegranate, Holiday Bouquet,Kris Kringle and Holiday Marketplace.

I justlisted them all on my etsy shop, so to see them and read complete scent descriptions
CLICK HERE.

I really want to show what I made for my secret Santa swap...but I guess that would kinda mess up the secret! I really hope she likes it! If you are in the swap at Bittersweet Prims....and you get a box from me....open both ends and the end where you see the tissue paper.... push from that end. It will make sense when you see it!
Don't forget my giveaway in the post below!

I"M FREEZING MY PECKER OFF!

Said, Mister Turkey.
I am sorry , I just could not resist that one! This is what I saw this morning when I went out to warm up my truck. Baby.....it's cold outside! And my bones don't like it....now I know why old folks move to warmer climates.
We had a little snow yesterday.... It was gone as quickly as it came! Now understand here in Eastern NC we don't do snow. I mean if we get a ground covering.....we shut down...we just don't do snow! You go to store get your bread, milk, monkey food and go Home. Go out and play with the kids for 10 minutes....take a nice picture...collect snow for snowcream...make it eat it....put on warm pj"s and sit by the fire and craft til it is gone!

I can't believe I almost forgot this ...One year ogo Raggedy Angels Primitives officially opened! So I went over to the shop to decide what I wanted to giveaway in honor of this occasion. I decided "Gracie" would love to go home with one of you lovely ladies. Gracie is a true OOAK handmade (by me) 24" doll, and... she grabbed the big Candy Kane ...so I said okaaaay! I will also include a 5oz. room spray of your choice.
So...if you would like to have Gracie and her goodies, leave a comment to be entered, post her pic on your blog and I will put your name in Frostys Hat 5 more times! My lovely assistant Mary-Kate will draw a name out on Sunday Evening! Non-bloggers can enter by emailing me at raggedyangels@intrstar.net

A Little Christmas....

Let's start with a good man or two...

These are some big gingers I made this weekend and my family were cruel to my very prim men. But my three year old niece,( Harley ) spent the night with us on Saturday ....and she said they were her babies! So they got a little Love.

Here are a few more goodies I have added to the shop.





I still have all this in the works......

You know I wonder how long you have to use a glue gun before you learn not to let it drip on your finger..... I have been using one since they were invented and I still burnt the pudding out of my finger today! OUCHIEEEEEEEE!

Char ask how we store our stencils...click here to see an earlier post that shows how I store mine.

Also, while we are going back in time......click here to see the before pictures of my shop. (someone had ask about it)

I have seen a lot of folks have decorated their homes for Christmas...I have only done a little in the shop. I never decorate until after Thanksgiving. But this year we are having Thanksgiving at my Mamas...so I may get started early this year. I trashed my old wreaths after Christmas last year...they had served there time! So I am going to Michael's tomorrow and see what I want to do.
And this came in the mail today.......





So needless to say...I'm getting that special feeling!
