Sharing The News, Needing Prayers....

I read the sad news last night on the forum that our sweet Kathy, (motherbee) is in the hospital. Said she was scheduled to have a stint on Monday but had another heart attack, so the doctors put it in last night. Said Kathy is alright, but very tired and sore. And she wanted to tell everyone that she loves you all so much, and hopes to be home soon so she can tell you all herself. Kathy is a sweetheart and has shared so many of her wonderful creations and even her awesome primitive home with us. I think everyone that meets her, rather online or in person, can't help but love her! Please remember to say a prayer for a speedy recovery for this very special lady! We love ya Kathy and hope you're back with us soon sweeties!

Faux Prim Hanging Tapers

I've posted this new tutorial on A Primitive Journey forum. Get over there and find out how to make these!

These are my new no sew, no wax, no dough, faux primitive grungy hanging tapers. These are quick n easy to make and can be done in colors! I think these are the perfect solution for those that can't sew or don't work with wax. Now you can make these yourself and they look so real. I'll have several variations for them later so go on over to APJ and find out how to do them.

While you're there, browse around at all the wonderful things the girls share. And feel free to jump in and share with others. Heidi, our Chat Organizer, from The Tole Hole, has some awesome chat tuts lined up for us and you won't want to miss those either! She has some awesome tuts, fun & games & prizes, trunk sales, and lots of other things planned for us in this new year. There's so much to learn, share, and pics to look at to inspire your prim decorating. And you won't want to miss the Gallery of Homes that these awesome ladies have shared with us. You are required to register (freely) to get into the forum, but you'll be so glad you did. Till next time....have fun crafting!

Graphics....

Good Wednesday morning everyone! During my time off I've been working on some new graphics and I'm seriously considering re-opening my freebie graphics site, "Lil' Sis Graphics." That was home to the very popular "Poodle Skirt Graphic" and folks from all over used that as it was so hard to find a good one on the net. My poodle graphic & skirt pattern was used in school dances, retro events, and costumes just to name a few. I had closed that due to health issues and not being able to keep up with all my sites at that time. But maybe I'll re-open and fill with new graphics, especially targeted for crafters? I haven't checked to see how many freebie graphic sites there are for crafters so it may be a waste of time, but I'll see as time permits. In the meanwhile I wanted to share some plaid backgrounds for you to use on anything you wish....site, blog, tags, whatever. And I'm also including a spice shelf that I have in several colors. I'll be posting some of these freebie graphics from time to time so if you can use them keep check on my blog. As usual feel free to use them however you wish, just don't claim them as your own....

And one of my new spice cabinets....

I'll be adding other graphics to mix/match with these so keep watch and have fun crafting!

Hugs, Libby
