Barn Owl Primitives (I won, I won!!!)

Well, you all know that I was one of the lucky ladies that got to attend Whatever Craft weekend in September but what you may not know is that I also was the winner of the Barn Owl Primitives giveaway at WC!!!!!

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE 

We sing this song at my house all the time, my mama sang it to me, my grandma sang it to me and my great grandma sang it to me...and of course we keep passing it right on down the family line.  Needless to day I was ECSTATIC that I won!  You MUST go visit Ms. Barn Owl to see the other amazing hand painted signs she offers.  

Here are a few others that I have had my eye on....

So stop what you are doing right this minute and click right on over to BARN OWL PRIMITIVES to find that perfect holiday gift for YOU or someone you love.....

more Whatever Craft Weekend & my next blogging atttempt

Well, you can imagine the sheer delight I felt as I spent three days with total strangers crafting into the wee hours of the morning, eating yummy foods prepared by the famous Ms. Kimberlee and shopping until they shut us down (well we were about to miss Sonic happy hour- priorities people!)  

Not only did all of these women inspire my creative side but they also lit the blog fire in my heart :)  I have always wanted to blog.  I write blog posts in my head about things we do all day but the little jewels of our Vanover adventures never seem to make it to the blog page.  SO, I am making a concentrated effort to start blogging at least 2 times per week.  I know- you have heard that before so lets just see where this takes us... 

There is still so much I want to share with you about my time at Whatever Craft Weekend with Meg and the girls, but for today I am just going to give you a few fun pics to spark your craft envy!

Roommates- Cassie (Aime's little sister), Jenny, Aime (one of my college BFFs) & Shelley

 We had the pleasure of bunking with Shelley, from sunny California!  Bless her heart- she was so gracious with the three of us crazy girls...late nights, snoring, sleep talking...

The beautiful crafty ladies we spent the weekend with.

What they are really like.....

Digging for diamonds in the rough with my new friend Brooke (what a fun sweet mama!

Stop back by in a few days and see if I can stick to this blogging business... I look forward to joining you in the craziness of our lives!
