Happy Monday my Prim friends!

I hope you are all taking the time change well. I did not. I had no problem gong to sleep "early" last night but man... I can not wake up today. Yikes! I am seriously head bobbing sitting here at my desk. No fun. I am however very happy that from this point on til next winter ... I will be getting sunshine after work. I love it! Yay!

My weekend was busy. Friday night I tinkered around the house tweaking here and there. Putting out bunnies, birds and nests.

A Peek…

I am still not done... but I'm getting there. Then I put my butt to bed at 10:30 because....

Saturday morning I got my butt out of bed and went to Zumba at 9:30am. This is huge for me. I do not do mornings. So I was very proud of myself. :) And I of course had a blast!

After Zumba I was energized to the max so I dropped Jamie's wedding gown off at the dry cleaners for her, and then I went grocery shopping.

On a Saturday morning! Shut up!!! Nope I really did! :)

I got home around 1 jumped in the shower and then Jamie came over after work so we could be crafty!

Someone special placed an order for Pantry cakes. Uh yeah... someone wants to buy my stuff. Scary right? Just joking! I said NEVAH!!!! This is swapping land… and so it goes. :)

So Jamie and I mixed up some yummy drinks and went to town melting wax and making cakes and other cute little smelly good stuff.

Then our Zumba DVD set arrived from Mr. FedEx and we had to try it right away!

Oh Hella yes!!!!! So much fun!!!!! A party in a box! Yay!

So we would go pour some wax... then while it hardened we danced out booties off and sipped our cocktails. Fun and productive day!

So here are two cute little bowls I put together with our waxy fun. And they smell soooooo good!!!!


 

 

The top one I gave to my step mom... and the bottom one is for Jamie.

I did not make myself one so I will be making more of these soon so if any one wants to order some for swap for some let me know. :) They will be made to order. And if I must I will sell them. ;o)

Sunday was lazy. I was SORE from way to much Zumba. Way to much. lol! But a good sore. So I did not do much Sunday at all. Tinkered and what not then dinner with Dad and Laura. Gave her some new treasures including her new bowl of wax fun which she loved. Then home to rest some more. My legs are still sore but... Zumba at 5:30 tonight!!!! So get your dancing shoes on! :)

People are really starting just this week to notice my weight loss and I really appreciate that. Makes me feel good when someone notices. Also proves that everything I am doing... all the hard work... is actually paying off! Yay!

Ok... on to another subject.

Last week I received a beautiful package from a giveaway I had won at

http://primitiveandfolkartists.blogspot.com/

Martha at Apple Tree Cottage had painted and donated this beautiful kitchen slicer to the PAFA  Spring Giveaway and I was the lucky winner of this beauty!




Tell me this isn't the cutest!

~ Thank you Dani at Sweet Home Stitchery~

 

Hi Friends,

Busy day today, I am hoping to get some Christmas shopping done and then I have my bosses annual Christmas Party to go to. My co worker Amanda and her family are coming over for a bit before so her boys can play with the cats for a while. She takes care of the Primcats whenever we go on vacation and her 2 young boys love the kitties. :) They miss them. So I invited them over to visit and then we will head to the party together.

My plan is to get the house photographed tomorrow. That is my plan. We shall see how that works out. lol.

I received my wonderful giveaway win from Dani over at Sweet Home Stitchery

Just look at this wonderful candle mat. So pretty! I love it!

I placed it in the dining room with a  pewter bowl and my Santa I got in OLM’s ornie swap from Amy at Bumble Bee Lane.

Attached to the package it was wrapped in was this cute tag too. I liked it so much I hung it on my tree.

Thank you so much Dani for my wonderful giveaway win! I love the candle mat and your stitching is wonderful!

Stop over and say hello to Dani at

Thrifty Thursday and a giveaway at Primitive Blessings

Thrifty Thursday is here... and that only means one thing in my book... tomorrow is Friday! YAY! I can't wait... I need some down time to put my house back together! It is a WRECK! Christmas stuff is everywhere. Yikes!


I am on staycation next week and I have so much to do! Saturday is cat food day so that is shot. Hopefully it will go perfectly this time and we will get 3 months done as usual. What is cat food day you ask? Well me make our cats food. We have done so since 2006 and have the healthiest cats ever. You can read more about it at www.catinfo.org


So Saturday is shot... and that leaves me 4 days to get the house decorated and everything ready for Thanksgiving dinner. It's going to be a crazy week!


On to the good stuff... My finds for the week. My faithful cat dog Tracy is always there to help me lend a picture taking hand. You guys must think she's the only cat. Not really... she just follows me around like a dog... so she's always right there when I'm taking pics.


 

 

So why did I buy an ugly gold wreath? Because Mr Primcat is mad crazy talented with a spray can and is going to paint these right up for me. :)  Bells are expensive... but good will wreaths for $2.00 are not. Takes a little time... but it's ok.





Got these molds to wax in... we shall see how that mess turns out. LOL!



The stars are cute!



How about this awesome picture? Loving! $2.00



A small crock. $1.50



A runner. $1.99. It' snot that bright in real life. It's tan and maroon.



For spring... $1.00



Twig star... $1.00


Prim wood pinapple. $0.50



Pine cones... $1.00



And my favorite piece this week...

A cute cream and sugar... $1.50





Pam, at Primitive Blessings Vintage Gift Shop, is giving away a wonderful mitten filled with winter greens, a snowman and a wood sign. How cute is this?
