My Town

Just thought I would post this little news clip from CNN News , about my town , Williston, North Dakota ! Yes it has been crazy here for awhile ! It can be a good thing or a bad thing , depending on how you look at it !! I have to say it's been a benefit for my family, so has been good. I feel bad for those that do have trouble with finding a place to live or stay , has to be very hard , especially families . But I am also thankful for the jobs it has provided for many that have also moved here !
I am not able to post the actual movie on my blog...bummer , I have no idea how to embed something , tried several things & to no avail , nothing worked ! So if you want you can click here and it will take you to it ! Sorry !

And yes ... I do live in a small town with nothing in it ! As far as shopping goes all I can say I am so glad for the Internet !

Taste and See

Thanksgiving week is here .... I have been super busy getting things ready for guests to come , but now because of our weather , it's not going to happen ! So now on with plan B ! Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving , we have many things to be thankful for ! Today I am thankful to have a warm home , and simple things in life such as food , family and friends and lots of craft supplies :) !!

Will close with this:

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.

Psalms 34:8

KJV

Just A Reminder !!

Just a little reminder for anyone who forgot !! Just in a bling style !!!!

Little Night Owl

My sister mailed me an adorable punch ! She loves to quilt and paper crafts also , she got this punch & loved it so much she sent one to me !!! So I had to make a family of them !! Some are a bit off , but I was just "playing" !! Punch is by Stampin Up , and so easy to use !

On another note ................................ woke up this morning to a whole new world ! Winter Wonderland ! Opened my garage door , big big giant drift ! And I still have all of my pots outside yet to put away and my patio furniture is still out ! I guess I was living in denial , thinking if I left everything as is the bad weather wouldn't come !! ha ha , was I wrong ! Super windy also , so that is why there are fall leaves intermingled with the snow ! This is really early for us to get snow , just hope it is not a preview of the up-coming winter !!!

I know what I will be doing today !!! Shoveling !!!

Sweet Package !!

Ever go to your mail box and to your surprise there is a parcel waiting for you that is nothing but fun !!! I was on Facebook a few days ago and I saw one of my sisters "friends" and the post had a photo of Amy Butler fabric , well anyone that likes Amy Butler fabric has got to be a friend of mine too , so I clicked on like for Four Winds Quilting , a great little quilt shop in Billings , Montana !!! So if you are ever going through you will need to stop or visit there web site !!! Little did I know , when I "liked" there shop on Facebook I was also there 100 th "like" , so I was the super lucky one to get this adorable bundle of Amy Butler fabrics !!! How fun is that ?

I have been adding more things to my Etsy shop , this morning I posted a pillow that has DREAM spelled out in vintage white / cream buttons. A smaller size pillow to tuck into a nook or in with some other little treasures to add interest or softness !!

Book Addiction!

Need I say more ? Yes , I have a book addiction and I realized the other day the I really need to do something about it ! I love fabric , paper and books ( magazines to , are they considered in the book category?) !! I am sure some of you can relate , being able to have that adorable piece of fabric to have on hand to enjoy or that new line of paper that just came out !!! Anyone else ??? Or am I the only one?

I decided that I need to part with some books so I will list some on Etsy , and if any one out there & you see a book you would love to have just email me !! There is a link on my sidebar . Contact me through my blog and they are $5.00 each plus shipping. Will do book rate if you would like to keep costs down or if they can fit in a flat rate box for several , will do that !!

Have a fabulous and creative day !!

Garden Goodness !!

Days go by so fast , or is it me ? Trying to accomplish way too many things !! My youngest daughter & I made some salsa .... we may have to make more , it is just toooo good ! I am sad that we did get a frost a few days ago , and most of my garden froze , yes I live way up north , and I was hoping my buttercup squash would have a chance to grow, guess not ! I covered everything with sheets , but to no avail it all got bit ! It got down to 23 degrees ! So we are going to make chow chow with the green tomatoes ( you add to pinto beans , very yummy ) !!

Have been also trying to get things listed on Lollishops and Etsy ! Listed one of my altered wire dress forms , the one that was in SomersetHome .

Trying to finish up a dresser that I have had stored in my garage for awhile !! So I better get back to projects...... have a wonderful weekend !
