How I spent last weekend...and trying to recover!
We offered our backyard for a Boy Scout camp out last Friday night.
Since it was to be Scouting for food on Saturday we figure we would get a camp in and have all the boys here to go collect food.
Friday morning this is what we were putting tents up in. Perfect weather, right!?!
Then the sun came out and was out all day. All was looking good or so we thought....
This is what we woke up to the next morning!
This is the point were I tell you I was snug as a bug in my bed!
Thank Heavens.
We had plenty of hot chocolate and a warm garage they could come in to so I think this was the reason the boys had fun.
Now me and my house are still trying to recover!
I thought it was Spring on Thursday--last week?
Today starts Spring Break for my kids...I hope we don't see anymore of this for awhile!

My swap goodies!!
The Old Farmhouse Gathering had a swap among some of it's members and I participated!
My partner was Vicky of Paintspots-n-Splinters.
She is a FABULOUS all around artist.
She sews, she paints, she cuts wood, I really think she does it all!!
We each told each other what we could use and boy did she come through for me!!
I told her I love to paint on any surface and I could always use buttons.
This was the haul she sent me!
Paint brushes, wire, wood surfaces-plaques and a candy cane and all these fun little containers, large wood clothes pins, small wood clothes pins, tin surfaces to paint on and all these fun buttons!
Complete with some acorn buttons I had been looking for everywhere!
I have already sorted them and put them in a bag so that I could use them right away!!
THANK YOU VICKY!!!
It was like Christmas all over again!!

Last week was my lucky week!!
I was one of the lucky winners from the Folkart and Primitive Artist Team giveaway.
Click HERE to see the team blog.
I won 5 wonderful creations!!
I will be featuring them each by the order I received them.
I won this FABULOUS bunny with his carrot from Carol of Buttermilk Creek Farm.
He is exquisite!
She had this little sweetie bundled up nicely in this fun tissue paper with such a sweet card.
This is how Carol described him to me:
He is a very sweet little bunny made of aged muslin and he brings with him his favorite carrot made of polymer clay and sweet annie. He sits upon a cushion made from an antique wool army blanket that is filled with crushed walnut shells to help keep your pins and needles sharp. There is also a Civil War era "bone" button attached with straight pins for embellishment.
Once he came and I explained to my son about the Civil war bone button and the military blanket....next thing I know he has decided it is his-NOT!!
As we all know photos just do not do the creations justice and this one is no exception...just to fabulous!!
I cannot Thank Carol enough for this wonderful creation!!
THANK YOU!!
Her talent is beyond compare.

Congratulations to my Boys!!
These are my boys (husband and son). They love to Curl. They go 2-3 times a week.
Last Saturday night they competed in the Utah games using these 45 pound stones.
(I think that is how much they weigh.)
They have been playing for about 2 years and their team mates for one year.
They won a Silver metal on the play offs.
They missed Gold by one point. They had a tied game with the other team so they had to add up points.
My son is the youngest one in the play offs.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Cold then hot then cold=Spring
I could not get warm on Monday.
My space heater broke.
I probably could have cleaned the house, that can warm one up pretty fast.
I did everything I could think of to avoid cleaning.
Tried to paint but could not do it with the gloves on.
My husband took pity on me and bought a new one so I was able to paint yesterday.
It is suppose to reach 70 on Thursday.
I really don't like the roller coaster ride.
I did put up the St. Patrick's day decorations--I guess better late then never!
We will be celebrating not only Sunday but also with my family on Monday when my brother and his family gets back from California. I love extended party time!! Extra corn beef!!
I have the heater on and will hopefully be painting today!
Hope you all have a productive and warm day!
Enjoy,
Barb
