Special Friends And DIY Ahead!


The joys of blogging are making new friends! Now who could not use a few good friends in their life. I know I consider myself blessed to call these three ladies my friends. The first one is Miss Tera. She designs my blog and boy does she work her little heart out for you. We worked {well she did and I just chattered} way into the night. I think she is great! Thank you Tera for all of the many hours you spend helping me get it just right.



My next friend I want to share is Miss Suzanne. She sells Southern Living and I won these goodies from her blog givaway! She also sent me a yummy candle but I have been smelling it up and you will just have to take my word on their candles....Yum!

These lil cookbooks she sent my way too..love em!





Then there is sweet Miss Cheri. I won her giveaway too! Lucky me...two in a row...hehe. She made me this adorable nest with three lil eggs for my chicadees still in the nest.

I have a special place in my cottage for this lil nest. You will see soon! I do hope you get a chance to visit these very sweet friends. I know they would love to meet you too!
****Hope you check back soon for that JUTE RIBBON DIY. It's gonna be fun!****

Good Morning Miz Susie!
Unbelieveable good luck! Winning two giveaways! I've never won a single giveaway ~ you are a very lucky girl indeed!

I'm loving your new blog look too. All your typewriter font is inspiring me to think up something crafty to do with my own vintage typewriter thrifty treasure.

Such wonderful talents and gifts!!

I don't think I'm going to be able to get the jute ribbon. No fabric in our Wal-mart or the next closest one. It broke my heart, the day they discontinued the fabric departments.

Looking forward to the project!

Happy Weekend!!

Congrats on all the great wins! You so blessed!

Love the birdie collage and can't wait to see what you do with the ribbon. Not sure if I can pull myself to Walmart this weekend or not. LOL....
The little kiddos wore me out this first week of school.

Have a blessed weekend. HUGS from Texas.

Susie, you are so right - we can all use more good friends who help us and encourage us to do those things we might not ordinarily do! And your blog and Suzanne's blog are two of the ones that made me feel right at home the first time I read them. Thanks for sharing your talents and your wonderful insights, and most of all for sharing your heart with all of us. You are a blessing!!
