A Quick Thank You and Winner(s)

Just a quick note of THANK YOU to all who follow my blog and entered my little giveaway!

I had my kids pull out TWO names and the first one for the little snowman goes to Linda of "Warmth"!

 Perfect since she lives back east and they are being pounded by snow.

 In the spirit of the month of February and Love the second name is Jody of "Sweet Bear Creek Whims"!

I will be sending you a set of these little heart magnets!

I will contact you ladies to get your addresses.

Thank you so much for all the sweet comments and following my doings and occasional whinings.

I am now off to do HOMEWORK...Math, FCCLA project, and a power point.

Amazing the things I am learning at my age!

Enjoy your day,

Barb

Well this week flew by....

Hard to believe it is Ground Hog Day and he says 6 more weeks of winter...I wonder what that really means for us that have had no snow??  We need the moisture for sure.

Thank you for all of the concern about my mangled finger.  It looks horrible but now that it is numb (no thanks to the Lidocaine that did not work during the procedure) it is getting easier to do things.  Painting and writing have been a challenge and I have declined doing dishes or cooking just in case I might hurt it....HEHEHE!

Luckily for me my daughter was able to finish up her Science Fair or "Science Fear" project in spite of me trying to help her tape things down.  I had glue and tape all over.  I was a mess.  She finally invited me to go watch TV.

My son received his Boy Scout First Class Rank and five Merit badges at the Court of Honor.

Scouting is a full time job!!  Then there is School!?!

Just a quick reminder that I will be drawing a name later tonight for my giveaway.  Thank you to all who have promoted and come over to watch me stumble around Facebook.

Still reading "Facebook for Dummies" and "Facebook and Twitter for Senior Dummies".

I thought the second book might dumb it down even farther for me.

Click on the phot to take you to the page for comments!

Good Luck and I will announce the winner tomorrow!

Enjoy your day,

Barb



Time to Celebrate!!

WOW, already toward the end of the month of January-amazing how time seems to slip away from me.

Well the reasons to celebrate:

1. Over 200 followers!  Need to pay more attention...I blame teenagers.
2. Have been featured on Screaming Sardine and Baskets by Rose.  Please stop by and read a bit more about my art.  Tracy at the Screaming Sardine has some fun questions that she asks!
3. Started a Facebook page-not sure what I am doing there yet!  Click on the link at my side bar.
4. It finally is snowing here!!  We need the moister come summer for our garden.  It really has been an odd year weather wise.  (Utah is the second driest state in the nation).

So on that note I am having a give away for the picture above.   Yes, I know it is closer to Valentine's and St. Pat's but who doesn't love a Snowman.  We have yet to have winter here so I am not so tired of it  yet.  Sorry to those who are longingly looking towards spring.  This picture is based on a Renee Mullin's pattern and measures 9x9 and has been painted on black screen with acrylic paint.  The snowflakes are metal and have been painted white with glittered applied.  It has been sealed and comes ready to hang.

RULES for this giveaway:

1. Be a follower of this blog and new folks are always welcome!
2. Must live in the USA or Canada-postal rates went up today. 
3. Please click the link to "like" my Facebook page on my side bar.  It should take you right to my business page because my profile page is so boring I don't want you to have to suffer through that.
4. Please post this give away to your sidebar and or actually blog about my giveaway.
5. Please leave your comments on this post.

You may do as many of these as you would like and just let me know what you did.  This give away will end February 2, 2012.  As usual I will draw a name out of a hat because I have kids that think that is awesome!

Thank you to all of my great blog friends and hopefully many more to meet.

Good Luck!

Barb
