SNOW SNOW GO AWAY!!!!!!

Greetings Prim Folk, hope you are all safe and warm those that were hit with the Winter storm, oh my, seems it was snowing all over last  night.   Even though the sun is shining now, I woke up to lots more of the white stuff blown into hard snowbanks in the front yard.  I grabbed the camera and snapped some pictures,  enjoy my friends :)  Warm Blessings Francine.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY

Good Morning Prim Folk,  hope all is well in your neck of the woods on this fine Hump Day.  Here, nothing really new, weather still cold, had more blowing snow yesterday. Sure did get  my work out shoveling, wow!!! tough  when the snow is hard packed and no where to put it. The yard is one big snowbank. At least the sun has been shining so that makes the cold days better,  I enjoy sitting in the sun on my favorite chair, feels good on the ole bones :)            Any body out there have big plans for Love Day?  being Friday is Valentines Day.   We will go out to Applebee's  for supper, that's about as special the day  will get,  fine by me.  Cam did buy me a bouquet of pink roses that smell heavenly the other day, love them. .........................Wishing you all a wonderful day, Warm Blessings Francine.

SMILE

Greetings Prim Folk,  hope you are all doing fine and enjoyed a great weekend......I don't always want to harp about the cold weather but this past weekend was  really freezing one once again, did I mention I am really getting tired of the winter :)  So I found some cute baby animal pictures to put a smile on your face, sure put one on my face. Enjoy, Blessings Francine.

SWEET GIFT AND SWAP PACKAGE

Good Morning Prim Folk,  Happy Saturday to you all.  Still very cold here in ole Winterpeg, nothing has changed in the weather department, -26 with the wind chill today.....................I received the sweetest gift in the mailbox Thursday. I came home from work, went to pickup the mail and found a box, YAY!!!!  Saw that it was from a sweet friend,  came inside to open up the box to find the most beautiful Valentine  stitchery  in a frame. Well, she brought happy tears to my eyes, so thoughtful. Little did Donna know that I have been wanting a lovely stitchery for some time, I adore and will treasure it along with Donna's friendship, thank you Dirty Martini Queen from the bottom of my prim heart...........................

talented Donna's stitchery, LOVE!!!!!!!

Then yesterday I received my swap package from dear Becky, over at Ginger Cream Hollow, got to love that name.  Inside were wonderful hamdmade hearts, stars, little crow pillow, a big beautiful pin keep heart and the most yummy smelling melting tarts, smell so good.  Thank you Becky so much for all the goodies you sent, was a joy being your swap partner in Amy's Humble Heart swap. A big thank you Sweet Amy for hosting these fun swaps over at Bubble Bee Lane...............................Enjoy the weekend my friends, Warm Blessings Francine.

STIR CRAZY

Hello Prim Folk,  Happy Thursday to you all...........Well,  I know I am going stir crazy, have cabin fever when I found myself redecorating the downstairs toilet tank lid.  Oh ya,  there I was,  changing things up in the bathroom yesterday morning.      I  guess this long cold winter is getting to me, but I  do like the redecorating I ended up doing............... In the afternoon I went to visit my Mother, do some chores for her.  Poor Mom has been suffering with  a sore back lately,  having such a hard time moving around, do not like seeing her like that.  My sweet Sister popped in also to visit with us after she finished work, I have not seen her since she came back from the cruise they took. Was wonderful to see her and hear about the fabulous time they had on the boat.  She brought me back a beautiful ankle bracelet and pretty bracelet, love my Sister so.................. Wishing you all a great day, Blessings Francine.

HAPPY FEBRUARY

Good Morning Prim Folk,  yay!!!  January is history,  good riddance,  what a wicked cold snowy month it was.  I know here in Canada we are known for the cold winter months but wow!! it was a little to cold for so long,  also  the amount of snow that fell and fell.  Not that the beginning of February is any better but it's closer to Spring, I'll take it. Also loving the longer day light, so nice..................... Picked up the new March issue of Country Sampler so I spent yesterday cuddled up with it  enjoying sites of Spring and many wonderful primitive decorated homes, happy happy.  One of my favourite pastimes I enjoy, reading a good book or a great magazine with a cuppa and a yummy smelling candle burning.    This scent of the candle is Smoke House, has a pleasant smell of sweet wood smoke when burning.  My SIL bought the prim jar candle for me years ago when they took a holiday  to  Pennsylvania,  Amish country.    I love it and never wanted to burn it, I  would smell it every now and then but finally I decided to burn it and  oh my, smells so good................May you take the time to enjoy the simple things around you,  Tis a gift to be simple.........Warm Blessings Francine.
