And Baby Makes Five Blog Giveaway

Colleen from And Baby Makes Five Blog is having a awesome giveaway:


Yes, my friends ... I think it's high time for a little salt dough-style giveaway fun, don't you? After all, winter is beginning to feel endless and spring (at least here in Maine) is still many, many moons away. I, for one, could use a little diversion. How 'bout you?















So in the spirit of springtime, here is what I've crafted for one lucky winner:




One set of "A Primitive Welcome" Bowl Fillers

and




One larger set of "Think Spring" Bowl Fillers

*** Both sets have been dipped in Cinnamon-Vanilla scented wax ***

Wanted to Share

Hello again friends,

I wanted to share with you all some great pictures I took yesterday on our way down off the mountian into town.  Jeff and I are not sure what the name of this river is, so we named it the Hogtown River as it runs along Hogtown Road.  Enjoy :)

It's Saturday!


Good Morning Friends,

It is early here and the temp outside my window reads a lovely -25 degrees :).  The sun is coming up and it looks really pretty out there...but, this girl is not going out at all!

Thought I would share a couple of pics of the walk we took a couple days ago..it was snowing and a blamy 20 degrees out. :)

Jeff and the puppy Ty walking along our dirt road.




This is a beautiful little creek that runs behind our house from the wetlands right to the dirt road and under it..

Jeff also made a wonderful wall cupboard that I am going to listing on my website.  Here are a couple of pics of it.






Jeff did a fantastic job and it will be listed at my webiste http://slypondprimitives.com/ today.

And finally, here is a picture of my cat Boxer and Ty sleeping last night on the couch.  I think they were cold LOL.



I hope you all have a safe and warm day! 

Blessings,
Amy
