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.

Other side of my widow sill.

My chicks from Granny Trace sent me a few years back. I LOVE them.
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

 

A mixture of things

 

Hi my prims,
I wanted to show you what Mr. Hillcrest bought me these past two weeks but I must tell you that blogger has been very uncooperative and we had to figure out how to insert pictures another way. I really have a liking for these old antique chocolate molds.  Here are two to start my collection. Thank you Honey!!!

This is a belsnickle santa both back and front.






 

This is where I decided to display him

Here is a closeup of him, I just love him.

Here is where we placed our new piece of very, very old stoneware.

This is an old yarn winder we found, it is missing a piece but we just love it.

Here is another view.

Here is our kitchen theme tree full of snowmen until the end of January, and then I will put up prim valentine hearts.


Here is my favorite prim snowman made by my friend Wendy!!!


Here are some closeups of the prim snowmen on the theme tree,

Ok prims, here is my new wooden prim box and I put one breadboard and some old bowls in it. Under it, is another collection of our rolling pins.

Here are five old stackable stools with a snowman on top!

Here is our other old antique chocolate mold that we just got yesterday, isn't he precious?

Here they both are in our hutch. Have a wonderful week, it is going to be very cold here.

 

Hugs,

Tricia

 

 

Happy Birthday!

Hi my Prims,
I have had a bad cold and today I sprained my ankle, I know my LUCK, LOL!
I wanted to post this Happy Birthday and it is to a woman that I miss to this day.......it is my Grandmother's Birthday. She has been gone to be with the Lord for awhile now, I was 18 yrs old when she passed. I will be 45 yrs. old this April and I STILL miss her deeply.
My Grandmother was like a Mother to me. She was such a strong,warm, loving and gentle woman you would ever want to meet.
My Grandmother taught me everything I know and she would always say that it doesn't matter how old you are you learn something new everyday. That is so TRUE!

She taught me how to bake, cook and knit. I would sleep over on school vacations and on the weekends if there was no school on Monday!
I can REALLY say she was my Best Friend!

Happy Birthday Grandma,I miss you everyday and when I bake your cookies I always think of you with a BIG SMILE!

I am the woman I am today because of my Grandma and I thank her for that!
Love your Granddaughter,
Tricia XOXOXOX
PS everyone needs Grandparents in their life.
