Who holds the Key to my Heart?

Karen from The Barely There Primitive Bear, that's who! Congratulations Karen! Please send me your info and I will get this prim nodder out to you asap!
I had so much fun playing this silly Valentine Giveaway and I loved all of the answers given!! I love every song listed and yes some did get stuck in my head for awhile! But when that happens, I just sing out loud...my poor boys! lol!
I especially loved all of the marriage proposals and romantic gestures! You gals got some keepers!! Happy anniversary to all of you!
Angie in Tahoe celebrated her 40th wedding anniversary. Wowie!! Congratulations!! and
Happy Birthday to you Valerie (Birthday Sister!!)
Thank You to all who played along! I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!

I had surgery on Feb. 13th and spent the following few days in a daze on the couch! For my birthday, my sweet hubby wrapped me in a quilt, plugged in a heating pad and then rented me my top 5 movie picks, the newest Twilight being my favorite and then he handed me a cardboard heart filled with reese's peanut butter cups...yum!...he cooked my favorite meal...chicken salad with fries and ranch! and then we celebrated with a Ultimate Chocolate dairy queen ice cream cake...double yum!
(Hubby says, "it's ok to eat these things on special occasions - the calories don't count! I swear!!")
My four boys, Rusty and I snuggled on the couch and watched movies together all night! What a great night! Oh how I love my family!!!
My favorite animal is the dog. Any dog will do, I am not partial to any particular breed. I love them all! They amaze me with their thought processes and territorial tendencies! My favorite thing to see a dog do is to laugh! Yes, I said to laugh!
Charlie is my dog or better yet, I am his human! I belong to him! He never leaves my side! ever! While I was recovering this past week, he was right there with me. When Buddy and Rusty were going for their walks, Charlie didn't budge! Justin got his leash and called out to entice him, "Come on Charlie, lets go for a walk!" But it didn't work! Justin then proceeded to pick him up and he carried him to the back door but when he set him down to put his leash on his collar, Charlie took off like a bullet and came running back to my side. A frustrated Justin tossed Charlie's leash back in his basket and said "oh, forget it!" He couldn't understand why Charlie didn't want to go for a walk, it was his favorite thing to do next to swimming down in the creek or eating slices of ham! But it made my heart swell just a little to think I meant more to him and that I superseded the Almighty walk!
Dog backwards is God, don't ya know!

Working hard!

I have just completed a few items from Becky Erickson's Tennessee Ridge Primitives Patterns - I love her! and her patterns!!
This first item is supposed to be a girl witch but isn't it funny how sometimes the item you're working on tells you how it wants to look...because he is all male! His dark mysterious eyes peek out from under the brim of his witches hat. Holding his black cat, he is contemplating all sorts of tricks for Halloween night and of course, how not to get caught!

27 inch Boy Witch holding Black Cat














The auction number for him is 120771924413







The other item is this gorgeous centerpiece Witches Hat and Crow with Primitive Broom. I love this piece. Nothing says Halloween like a Witches Hat! and this one is a nice size at 15 inches tall and 9 inches wide. This would look great displayed anywhere inside your home or even outside on a bench or a set of steps...
The auction number for this item is 120772741680
So Becky if you are watching, I hope I did you proud! and keep those primitive patterns coming!!!!
Until next time...Prim Blessings!
