Sharin' A Few Finds~ New barn I found~ And Ramblins Too...

Hi y'all I hope this post finds everyone in
GREAT Spirits....
I wanted to say Thank You to every one of you
for your prayers for my Dad ! They are very much appreciated
as I know the power of prayer can sure work miracles.
Dad is a little better today. His lips aren't as blue as they
were over the last 2 weeks and his breathing sounds
much better too. Thanks again for your kindness and for
being there for me when I was feeling so down.

Now onto a few finds I have to share....
Found this ol' box at a new antique mall that just opened
up right up the street from my Hubbs job. So of course
Dad, Kenz, Linny and I had to go check it out a couple
of weeks ago. I thought about maybe tryin' ta' rent
a booth there too. It's really a nice clean organized place.
Ooopps I'm loosin' track here lol....Here's the pic...

Ohhh well LOOKIE here lol.....Scooter kept
gettin' in my way everytime I tried to take a pic.


Then of course Tinkie just had to get in the way too lol
You know what they say though 3rd x's the charm ;)


It's 31and a half inches long by 7 and a half inches wide.
It was only 12 bucks so I had to snag it right up !
I thought maybe I'd put my magazines and remote controls
in it till I figure out somethin' different to put in it.
Any ideas ??? I thought about maybe makin' some
fabric sunflowers and maybe a few other different
fabric flowers and putting in it and set it in my bay window.
Watcha' think ??? Or if ya' have a different idea I'd
love to read whatcha' think ;0)

I also found this wool blanket I'd like to cut up and use for
maybe a few penny rugs base and I wanna make a runner
for my table too. The color would be a great base for some
prim flags too. It's in perfect shape and was only 10 bucks !
It's 5 feet long by 3 feet 3 inches wide. A good bargain
for wool. I can't wait to start some projects with it soon.


On our way to the Oolitic Antique mall we ran across a
yard sale that took us down some country roads I'd never been
down before and we ran across this ol' barn.....






I lovvveeee ol' barns ! I love to take leisure drives
just to look at 'em and snap a few pics of 'em too.

I also did some wall tweaking....
Here's a before pic....


And here's after......




Here's another before.....


And after.....



I need to put somethin' above the candle sconce
between the shelf and cabinet.

Welp I best get goin' to get my laundry finished up
cause it's back to work tomorrow. Ohhhh speakin'
of work....they've decided to re~open the store
on Mondays begining April 12th  !!! So that means
my job is secure again for now whewwww.
I sure didn't wanna hafta' look for another one
cause I have really decent benifits now and I'd be
lucky to find another with benifits like I have now.
So that's a lil stress of my shoulders now.
Hope to post again later in the week. I'm thinkin'
I may have a lil tutorial to show y'all how to make
an easter centerpiece if I have time to get it finished.
If y'all haven't had a chance to check out the
Prim Pals forum yet we'd sure love ta' have ya !
Just click on the link below and head on over =)

Till next time my Prim Friends

Wow Girlies ( n fellas ) I hope this post finds ya'll enjoyin' a lil Spring like weather !!!! It's 55 here and I'm loving it !!! I decided to do a lil tweakin' today and do some base paintin' since it's soooo nice outside. Hubbs took my car and forgot to leave me keys to his dually truck ( he musta forgot to plug it in again lol...it's a diesel ) So I'm stuck at home which is a good thing cause I can get some projects goin' ! I haven't forgotten the Mystery Giveaway =0) Jess wants to draw the name so he'll be doin' that when he gets home tonight. Good luck ya'll !!!!! I got everyones names written down, includin' your extra entries and cut into slips and all in a bowl ready for the pickin' !!!! Can't wait to see who wins !!!! I'll also be postin' todays Bingo words when I announce the mystery winner. I think there are a few of ya' who are gettin' really close !!!! We randomly draw the words too so this could be anyones Bingo.......I hope ya'll have better luck than me at real bingo lololol........O.k. a real quick pic to show ya'll where I put my new crocks.......

Whatcha ' think ? I really would like to put
some homespun and jute string on top of the
brown crock I think....Instead of the pip berries ?
They look cute there, but I think I'd rather go
with an earlier look. What do ya'll think ???
O.k I best get goin' so I can finish up some paintin'
and tweakin' cause it's back to work tomorrow =(
Till next time My Prim Friends....
