GOOD FRIDAY

Morning Primfolk,  hope all is well for you this day, a long weekend for many, not me, working today and the weekend............Finally Spring is in the air here in Winnipeg, the temps are in the pluses, YAY!!!!! snow is melting, I can  even see patches of grass along the sidewalk...........Yesterday I noticed a little female Purple Finch start a nest in the pine tree in the front yard, exciting to me, good sign Spring is near.............................The new windows look great upstairs, the guys sure knew their job, had them in  and cleaned up after themselves  in no time...............now the redecorating, will take me awhile to get it done..............The other day after reading the Country Sampler I did change the porch around, that magazine does it to me every time, :)Wishing you all a great day, Spring Blessings Francine.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY

Morning Primfolk, middle of the week already,  and where did March go??? well, glad it will be over, maybe April will bring some  Spring weather, sure hope so..........It has been rather nice lately, sunny with the snow melting slowly, that is what we need here in Manitoba, a very slow melt for we always are in Flood mode in the Spring, we sure have had doozy`s of flooding water other  years.......................Bought the new issue of Country Sampler Home Edition, yay!!!!!, enjoy that magazine......the only problem is that after looking at all the wonderful prim homes I want to start changing things up in my home.......oh well, maybe that's what I need to help me start with the Spring cleaning.................Tomorrow we are getting new windows in the three bedrooms upstairs, will be great, that also will get me going on the cleaning and decluttering, here`s hoping anyway.................Wishing you all a happy hump day, Spring Blessings Francine.

HAPPY MONDAY

Greetings  Primfolk, another weekend gone by, hope you all enjoyed it,  was a quite one for me...... I did not mind, curled up with a book, should start the Spring cleaning but did I , NO!!!...not yet, think about it but will have to get in gear soon, for once the weather warms up, I will be outside, but at the rate Spring is coming here, I have time..................Had a great visit with my Brother and S-I-L Saturday evening,  shared many laughs,  good treats, she is a heck of a great baker, yum yum, Easter cookies filled my tummy.......Brother had a toasty fire burning in the fireplace, all was good.......She gave me a little Easter present, the cutest sleeping prim bunny, love it, so thoughtful...........Yesterday I placed him in a wooden bowl with some tiny carrots, sweet.............Wishing you all a wonderful day full of sunshine, Spring Blessings Francine.

PAY IT FORWARD GIFT

Happy Saturday Morning Primfolk,  hope this day finds you all well...........A little milder here this morning, the sun is trying to shine, have my fingers crossed, would sure like some of this snow melting...........................Yesterday I received a surprise gift in the mail from dear Kendra from The Stone House Primitives, we both are doing the Pay It Forward from the beginning of the year, you have all year to send a little something to the chosen one...........well, she sent mine and I must say she was very generous, inside was a beautiful wool hanging pillow with a pretty flower on the front, wonderful work Kendra does, love it so, and she also remembered I collect and love old flower frogs, so I found two old frogs inside the package too, with a sweet gardening postcard.......oh my stars!!!!!!, love them, what a great surprise........Thank you so much Kendra, you sure brightened up my day yesterday...............................This afternoon I am off once again wash and curl my sweet Mother`s hair, and then this evening going to visit my Brother and S-I-L, I  enjoy looking at all her Spring time decorating, she has many wonderful old bunny candy containers and molds, might bring my camera along to show you them, great collection, I can only dream, :).................Wishing you all a happy day, Spring Blessings Francine.

HAPPY FRIDAY

tweaked the shelf

Good Morning Primfolk,  first weekend of Spring but you would never know it around these parts, no Spring flowers blooming just snow banks three feet high,  oh well,  at least the sun has been shining, makes the cold  a little more bearable......................Feeling restless being cooped up indoors, here is where the tweaking comes in, besides the Spring decorating, I have been starting to change things up a bit, starting small but who knows where it will end, cabin fever does strange things to a person,......................Wishing you all a great weekend, sure hope it`s a lot warmer in your neck of the woods,  Spring Blessings Francine.

HAPPY SPRING????

Morning Primfolk,  hope all is well with you on this first day of Spring,  sure does not feel like it  arrived here in Winnipeg, temps are way down in the minuses, a wind chill today and way to much snow, no signs of Spring here.......Last year at this time we were enjoying temps in the 70`s, I was planting Pansy`s in pots outdoors and visiting the gardening centers, not this year, oh well, I guess I have whined enough, nothing we can do about the weather, Spring has to come sometime though......................Look what hopped into my mailbox yesterday, a wonderful prim bunny made by Mandy of Bittersweetfolkart Primitives,  she is a great prim crafter,  sure made my day finding this wonderful bunny, love him.......  I have the cabin fever blues real bad,  so finding it in the mail box yesterday was what I needed to help cheer me up................Wishing you a day full of warm sunshine,  Spring Blessings Francine.

Morning Primfolk, hope you all had a great weekend and ready for the start of  another week ahead.................. Guess Winter does not now when enough is enough, we received 5 more inches of snow last night, yuk, no Spring yet around these parts, still cold with wind chills this week.....................Had a quite weekend, Saturday went to another fish fry supper, this time at the church with my Mom, Sister, her boyfriend, Cam and myself,  was so good,  love Walleye,  so yummy, then we all came back to the house for a game of dice, I will tell you I did not win, but we all had fun together.......................Sunday, just had a relaxing day, but I did  paint up some little  eggs blue,  then grunged them up, popped them in a small blue bowl with some branches, ahhhhh... a little bit of much needed Springtime around the house............Wishing you all a good day, Blessings Francine.

Morning Primfolk,  hope you all had a good weekend................. well, milder temps here but along with the mild weather comes more snow, oh ya, lots of it, all day infact, YUK!!!, so hard to think Spring when outside is all white....................So inside yesterday I spent my evening decorating with a few more bunny`s and trying to think Spring time,  love my prim bunny`s, many are so special as my crafty Sister made them for me. .................I decided to put a bunny and grungy eggs in my blue and white enamel basin for a change, always have them in a wooden bowl but this time I  wanted a more brighter look for Spring, not to sure if I really like it but shall leave it for now, adds a pop of color anyway.......................Then did a little more decorating with my Spring goodies,  so trying to get in the Easter mode, but having a hard time of it this time of year, will do some more another day...................Wishing you all a wonderful Monday, Blessings Francine.

I`M BAAAACK!!!!!

Morning Primfolk, Happy March to you all.........sure hope Spring is arriving any day now.................Had a wonderful little getaway Holiday, beautiful mountains surrounding the small town of Wendover...the scenery was breathtaking, the snow capped mountains were so magnificent, but was a little chilly there too, but not like here in  Winnipeg and I survived the flight, was not so bad but was glad it`s over...............Our Hotel was really nice,  big comfy bed.......... ate to much, great places to dine, played the penny slots to much....but the machines were good to me, brought back money, sure don`t do that to often..... bought myself some really nice smelling candles too...............Had so many laughs with my Sister, really had a great time but it`s always nice to come home sweet home..............now back to the regular grind, but will be so nice to enjoy the longer days and hopefully milder weather..............Wishing you all a great weekend, oh ya, I missed you guys so much......will play catch-up this weekend.............Spring Blessings Francine.
