A Goodie Post!

Hi my Prims,
I first wanted to give a BIG "THANK YOU" to everyone that asked for Angie's address to help her out.
I will tell you that blogland friends are the BEST! Please keep Angie in your prayers and her little peanut"her daughter", as they are very close.

So on Valentine's Day I made Mr. Hillcrest, my husband so YUMMIES!
Check them out.......

These are homemade sugar cookies with homemade frosting. He loved them.

Check out the homemade TRUFFLES I made for him, he said they were the best he has ever had and asked me tonight if I could make so more. I will tomorrow. Here they are......

Now for some BIG thank you's. I was blessed I won a few giveaway's on Valentine's Day!
First Diane    http://welcometolavendardreams.blogspot.com/
Please go and check out her blog. I really enjoy Diane's blog alot!
I won her giveaway, look what I got in the mail...

Check out the tote bag that Diane made...I LOVE IT. These are the colors I wear in the Spring and Summer, so this tote bag is going to be GREAT!

Sorry I did try to turn this on the computer and it didn't want to work for me......Huh!

Here is a close up of the beautiful tote...

Then I got this and guess what was inside.....these beautiful sea shells from Florida.

Aren't they AWESOME! Thank you SO much Diane you made my day!!
I will treasure my winnings. Also my sea shells from Florida! Kisses and Hugs my friend!

I also won a giveaway from Teri http://whitesheepfarm.blogspot.com/
Look what I won.....

 

YES, I won the Red Cardinal cross stitch. I can't wait to make this for my hubby and put it in his office. It has a special meaning to both of us.

Thank you SO much Teri for my Cardinal. I will make it and when I am done I will post it. I hope I make you proud!

So, that is it for now. We are getting more snow Saturday going into Sunday......oh FUN, NOT!!!! I can't wait for Spring to come.

I had to go to the hospital this week I have a kidney infection, and I am on a very heavy duty antibiotic. This came with a fever and all. It just has been a
yucky couple of weeks.

I hope everyone is doing well and if you are getting the snow storm please stay safe.

Prim Blessings,
Tricia XO

 

A heavy picture post!

Hi my Prims,
This is a very HEAVY picture post so grab a cup of coffee, tea or hot choclate and sit back and relax.
I hope you enjoy my post.
Before I start my blog post as alot of you already know we are getting a BLIZZARD! They are saying that we are going to get more than 2 feet, over 25 inches, CRAZY! We are all set and we have tons of firewood in the greatroom. We always lose power but we also have a generator(sorry if I mispelled it)
So if you are getting the BLIZZARD please be careful, they started closing banks, town hall, the only drug store and a few little stores and all schools in our town.. This means everything is getting closed for Friday when the storm comes in!!!!
We are ready like I said, but PLEASE everyone stay safe!!!!!!!!!

So here are alot of picturesof my Valentine tree in my office...

This is where I sit and read my CS or APP magazine or my kindle!!

See my prim heart on a wire prim stand(no I didn't make it) but I love it!

A close up of my prim heart.

This was on my kitchen table but I changed it up. You will see what I did down the post.

Here is my THEME tree that I decorate for every holiday. Even for the 4th of July I have prim red/white /blue lights and all primflags and for October I have prim orange lights but I didn't put them up last October.

Now this story means alot to our family, as alot of you know I took care of my MIL, which I called Mom. She me when she goes to be with the Lord(HOME) when you see a cardinal it is her.
This one lives in our tree in the back of our deck. We know that the bright beautiful ones are the males but we don't care we still say Hi Mom!
I finally got some pictures of her, itjust gives us peace because even though she is home with the Lord for 4 yrs. it still hurts and we all MISS her dearly! I think of her everyday and even talk to her, I know see hears me. So here are a few pictures.......

This is a GREAT picture!
One more...

We love you Mom, we know that isn't her but it gives us comfort, Mom did say when she goes home look for a red cardinal that will be her and she has been her for 2 yrs. I hope she stays!!!!!

So here are some more pictures of Spring/Easter...

This is what changed from the first picture that I said up top that I changed. Do you like this better?
It is on a long bread board and on our kitchen table.

This is in our kitchen, do you see the painted gourd, my friendJenfrom The Country Mouse made that for me a few years back, it is hand painted. Tell me she doesn't have talent. Jen's work is AMAZING!
Please go checkout her blog if you haven't yet.

Woolie Love to you!

My stove board, the choclate bunny you see Angie Just a lil Raggedy.
Angie needs our love and prayers. She is having surgery Feb 21st, they are replacing a rod in her spine and pins. Angie has to down size to a small apartment but I know that when she can get around alot later she will make it prim/colonial and make it a COZY HOME for her and her beautiful 6yr.old daughter Kaylee.
Angie has to get rid of alot of things and is having a sale on her blog and that money will help her a great deal. Please help out our blogging friend that has always has been there for all of us!!!!!!!!!
Please give her your love, I know if she had $1.00 lefted to her name and someone on blogland needed it she would MAKE sure you got it.
I know everyone has a budget and everyone is having it hard but even if you send her $5.00 will HELP, more than you know. Think about it this way if you were in her shoes with a 6yr old daughter wouldn't you want your blogging friends to help you!
Angie has alot of PRIDE, that is another reason why she is selling things so she can make a little nest egg for her and her daughter. If you know Angie then you know that she is a single mother and she ALWAYS gives out packages to surprise someone on blogland. I ask PLEASE open your hearts. I am not going to put her address on my post but if you want to send her something and you need her address just please email and I will email you her address, even if it is a gift card anything will help!!!!!
Here is my email  triciamcn@verizon.net
Angie doesn't know I am doing this becasue she would get upset but she needs to put her pride aside and let us gals help her.
We love ya Angie!
Also don't forget to pray for her.

Living room.

I have to take this picture when it is at night.
I have ALOT more to post but I am going to save it for post#2.

Stay safe and warm and cozy with
this storm coming in.
Snowy Blessings,
Tricia
