My WiNs & nEw OrDeR...

I was so EXCITED to receive my winnings today!!!

Ginger from Primitives by the Light of the Moon had a great giveaway and I won first place. I was very excited to learn that I had won. Look at the goodies I received :)
The melting tarts smell wonderful and the tartwarmer is so cute. I have a thing for crows and on the tartwarmer itself it is written "Olde Inn Crow". How did she know??? I just love the mat with the pumpkin...it looks even better in person.

Thank You so much Ginger for having such a great giveaway!
I also made a order from Folk Art from the Harbor . I LOVE her items...she makes wonderful things for all occasions and great signs. I have made many orders from her, she has great customer service!

I am preparing for Christmas decorations and have been wanting some of her snowmen. They are the most cutest things that you would ever see. If you drop on over to her blog she has 2 free patterns that you can download for snowmen. I also have been wanting some witch boots for Halloween along with a sign of some sort. It was so hard to choose something since I like all of her things. So I decided on this cute Trick or Treat sign. I also ordered the other sign to put on my gameboard wall. I will take a picture of it soon once I receive my new gameboard that I ordered from Kindra.
Here are close ups of the snowmen...now I can't wait to display them...hehe. Not that I am rushing for winter or anything. Just excited to get decorated. Christmas is my favorite time of the year to decorate. I have decorations litteraly all over the house. A Christmas tree in almost every corner and decorations in all the other spots. I have to put away other decorations to be able to display all my Christmas/Winter ones.
We had yet another beautiful day. What a way to end the month of September. Hopefully we will have the same for the month of October. Hard to believe tomorrow will be the 1st. Time flies...before we know it Christmas will be here.

Hubby made it home safe and sound last night. He was burnt because before I knew it he was counting his sheep. It was a long day for him...being in meetings from 8am till 3pm and then hitting the road for a long 7 hour drive back. The girls were so happy to wake up this morning to find daddy home and of course me to. I hate being alone at night but I might have to get use to it. Hubby may be switching jobs by January. Which is a good thing all the way around but he would be on the road often. It is just something that will be hard getting use to since for the past 16 years we have been together everday and night. When you are use to something it is hard to change. But like I said, switching jobs would be for the better for the family and budget. He would be making almost double the salary and great benefits. Just the benefits is a plus. Right now he does not have a pension so we have to deposit into Mutual Funds from each pay just to have a nest for retirement. But with the new job there would be a pension package. That means alot in todays world. So cross your fingers but we are pretty sure hes got the job.

Well I am off to go next door and give a bath to a baby. Nothing any better then the smell of a baby after a bath. For me it's just like a scratch and sniff...lol. I miss that but at least I get a chance every once in awhile with the neighbors.

Until next time...Sandy :)
