Busy Day SNEAK PEEK !!


Just a sneak peek at what I have been working on .>> Thankfully I got an early start --and the idea finally came together after ditching my fav idea -- but would be a great -great granny by the time it was finished -- I cannot stop adding -- but
as we were making 19 of these Spring ones --had tolook thru my "stuuf " and get another idea going

You know I am all about the tags -- so am currently working on two tag swaps at once -- one is also for an ALice tag swap -- and here is a peek !!I only had to make six -- There are a few more touches that need to be added -before mailing -- then on to My tussie mussie swap idea -- already picked out the idea and the supplies --
which is the hardest part --and A bunny swap with Ms VIVs group ahead also -- working on that idea -- whew !! not sure my brain can hold it --
Have a great day -- !! off to the church for a Growth Group Meeting --
Have a Blessed DAY - YALL '- KAthy - ga ♥

SNOW AND VALENTINES









It is so beautiful here !!! we got snow -- of course my disclaimer-- love to look at it , but not to drive on etc -- no one understands how to drive on it here - so everything virtually shuts down ---
Took a few shots of the snow -- altho my bloggy friends see it all the time -- The sun was shining on the snow and the contrast of the little red smokehouse on our property was lovely - oops the wind had blown the door open .
My little dog is so funny -- cannot understand what snow is ? He is 13 yrs old -- and has hardly ever seen snow -- except last year and this year ,too funny --
It makes me a little sad that a lot of Sweetheart plans all over the country will have to be delayed because of weather conditions -- Ours will probably melt today --
but of course tonight when temps go down makes it hazardous to drive on .
I finally decorated my Valentine tree , but it really needs some more tweaking -- In my studio are many heart boxes -- but no room on the little table for them --
MY Precious Valentine swap Bear from - Marie - at spun by me blog -- Had to make an appearance --- How I love her -- and MANy Precious Valentine ornies from friends and tag swaps -- Ok realized I forgot to put some cloth or lace draping at the bottom -- But need to stuff Valentine candy baggies etc for church .
School was called off yesterday -- so the grands were here -- lots of fun !!-
and they love the snow --but was not much on the ground until late afternoon , after they went home -so gotta get busy today !
Have a Blessed VAlentine -- KAthy GA -♥

VALENTINE SWAP DELIGHTS

What a "JOY " to have Marie as my swap partner -- WE joined a Valentine swap at -
A swap for all seasons -- and I was blessed to be partnered with Marie -of Spunbyme --- I knew it would be delightful, just to see her blog - but the sneak peek!! made me know -that i was a goner just at the packaging --
We were to send a Handmade item , a sweet treat and a vintage valentine--


THe things were so lovely -- the little bear was dressed to the nines -- so very sweeet Marie - and goes so well with my other bears -- not sure if she knew that -
I do not see handmade ones very often -so don't purchase they very much


The Little Valentine book -- has so many sweet ideas - what fun - and the
little collage under glass -- I swooned over also -- such detail .and of course --the TAG - I am a tagaholic and this little Cupid was delightful , will hang it on my little tree , then for year round pleasure --

She also found such vintage delicate napkins in my fav pink -- and the rosesto decorate with and the vintage style salt shaker is beautiful - will go in my cabinet with others .
The vintage valentines -- so cute -

All were so delightful - I am enjoying them so much - also
The candy (chocolate -my fave ) and cookies were so enjoyed --SORRY MARIE they were eaten up , LOL - -- we ate them during t.v time -- so good with coffee .
Thanks again Marie -- and I have been in such a whirl , with my church project - (already for SUNday now ! whew !!) I forgot to take pics - was at the POst office , when i remembered -- HOpe you enjoy your goodies !! I am delighted with my swap !! Blessings Kathy - ga ♥
