Isn't he the cutest?

This post is long over due.

A couple few weeks ago, I won this adorable little fella from a giveaway that Angi hosted on her blog, Drakestone Primitives.
He is so much cuter than I even thought he might be and Angi made it herself. He is only about 5" tall, just the right size to tuck amongst my old tins. I think he looks quite happy in his new surroundings. Thank you Angi!!

You need to go visit Angi's blog. She has more of these Attic Bears for sale and some lovely prim Heirloom Santas too. She also sells patterns for prim dolls and prairie bonnets. I'm sure you would enjoy just looking at all of her prim goodies.

I don't know about you, but I think that time is flying right by lately. Seems like it was just Halloween a couple of weeks ago. Then Thanksgiving snuck in real quick and now it's almost December. Am I getting so old that my sense of time is slipping away or is it that I'm finally starting to realize that on this next birthday coming up in a couple of weeks, that I'm just not young anymore? Being a Grandma didn't bother me, 40 didn't bother me, 50 didn't bother me, even 60 didn't bother me. But when I went to sign up for Social Security...KaBammm! What the He**!  I don't feel any different so how can I be OLD!??!!? {sigh}

Whew....I'm okay now :0)

Have a nice day!

I've been pretty lucky!

I've won a few giveaways this month!

The first one was from the Gum Tree Designers for their 1st Birthday givaway. I won Dawn Hays bundle of goodies.

I love the cute seam ripper and the toffee (that came all the way from Australia) was deelish!!!
Be sure to check out there blog!
They are going to have some Christmas Freebies starting in October.

The next one was from Deb at A Fine Feathered Nest.
She made this adorable Christmas tin that is a tealight holder.

She loves the shabby style and makes lovely handpainted roses. I can't wait to add it to my Christmas decor.

The next one is from Leslie at "The Crafty Mom" blog.

She has been a prim blog friend of mine for a quite a while. What a pleasant lady to chat with. These are the goodies that she sent to me.
The votive candle smells wonderful & the little ceramic punkin is perfect for my shelf.

Just today, I found out that I've won the giveaway at Hearthside Happenings too.

Jacki has some great primitive items for sale in her two shops. You should go check it out (She has another giveaway going again also. You'll see it on my sidebar). Can't wait to get this in the mail.

Did you notice that I have reached 100 followers?
WAHOO !!!
I am going to get my own giveaway put together and I will be posting about it in a few days. I'm thinking it will be something for the Autumn season and also something to decorate for Thanksgiving.
First I have to finish canning some apples, freezing some pumpkin puree and making grape jelly.
Hummm, I hope my sewing machine hasn't seized up from just sitting there, not being used :o}
