Snowmen, Tagged, Award and a Unique Giveaway

Good Saturday morning to you!
It's so cold here today only 23* right now, we are having January weather in November but the temps are going up a little next week...thank goodness especially for all those that still have to shop for Thanksgiving! Our turkey is out in the garage freezer and I'm really anxious to eat some:)
I thought I'd show you some of my snowmen that I've got out, I still have so much more to do and now with this job or I should say jobs...yesterday while watching the videos at Peebles the Dollar Tree called me for a job, well it's right next to Peebles so I told her I'd be right over after I was done here:) The Dollar Store needs me for day shift so I'm going to work both places...how do you like that, I went from no job to two jobs but I'm so thankful that this happened before Christmas!
Some of you commented on this ornament that showed in a pic in yesterdays post so I took a picture of it off the tree...know I didn't make it I had bought it a while ago at a craft show and it looked like his country stuff was from a wholesale place, anyway I just loved it!


I hung this berry wreath that I had got at a yard sale, four of them for $3.00 the window is from a old milk house and I paid $10.00 for it a long time ago:) Isn't the spool snowman cute? My friend from Missouri sent me it I usually have him on my big tree but this year I'm trying different ideas.
I love this guy, he's a nice size:)

This one here I got last summer at the historical society yard sale for a $1.00, who would sell him? I guess someone who just isn't country.lol Love his little shovel and sled!


My garden snowman is a cutey too:)





So soft and cuddley is this one!


The pic is of my mom at Christmas and she love Christmas so much so I had to put a snowman right by her:)

Rule #1 ~ Link to the person that tagged you.
Rule #2 ~ Post the rules on your Blog.
Rule #3 ~ Write 6 random things about yourself.
Rule #4 ~ Tag 6 people at the end of your post.
Rule #5 ~ Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their Blog.
Rule #6 ~ Let the tagger know your entry is up. So here goes...
1. I have to have my coffee in the morning and drink it till noon, can't drink it later or I wouldn't be able to sleep and I don't like decaf.
2. Love to put big, fluffy, sparkley bows on the granddaughters Christmas gifts and see there eyes light up:)
3. I wear glasses to read and craft:0
4. Had my left knee operated on in April and so glad I did!
5. I go to the chiropracter once a month...she keeps me in line and that way I avoid the aches and pains of a 57 year old.lol
6. I had a blonde cocker spaniel name "Joey" in the 90's a good dog...came home from work and found him dead...not a good day:)

This giveaway is from a blogger that I just found from Tammy from Country Girl at Home, Shelly from Building a Log Cabin is having this cranberry pecan bread giveaway which I think is really neat...it is from one of the top mail order co. in the country and if you win it will be shipped to you. Wouldn't you just love to have this? You have until 11:00 PM tonight to sign up and Shelly will be drawing the name tomorrow and blogger is not letting link grrrr so I will be back to correct this!






Now to the award and I must say a "pretty" award that was given to me from Gina at Cat Nap Primitives. Thanks you so much Gina and I love your blog too and those sweet kitties of yours:) I'll proudly display it on the right side of my blog when blogger decides to settle down.lol I'll be back to display the rules it's not letting me click on anyone's blog.







Isn't she pretty? I just can't imagine lounging around in all that fabric and corsets...know wonder they had fainting couches:) Well, I'm running out of time here, I get my hair done at 2:00 so I'm going to give this award to the ones that are tagged above...I'll be back later to stop in and visit each one of yours blogs to let you know, ok?
