It's been a while since I've tried to sell any of my handmades and I have been curious about Etsy for quite some time. Today was the day to give it a try. I have listed 3 items for sale in my Etsy shop and I will gradually add more items as time allows. I not only have my handmades to offer but also some useful items for your primitive home as well. Tomorrow I will add a few more items. Below is a picture of the handstitched fabric bowl I just completed and is now available In my Etsy shop. (the link to My Etsy is in the top left hand column of this blog. Thanks for taking a peek, Audrey

Pictures From Disney's Hollywood Studios

Here is where the kids had a really good time. There are lots of attractions for the smaller kids here. The parade of characters was so entertaining and I even took a picture with two of my favorite characters Woody and Buzz!

SOME FAVORITE PHOTOS OF OUR DISNEY WORLD HOLIDAY

The Tree of Life was one of my favorite attractions as we entered the Animal Kingdom. The Tree of Life, a sculpted 14-story (145-foot tall), 50-foot wide tree, is the centerpiece and icon in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. A theater is housed in the Tree of Life root system where the It's Tough to be a Bug! show is performed. I took so many pictures as we visited all 4 parks that I will have to gradually post some of my favorites. Be sure to click on each picture to get a better view.

EASTER DAY SPENT AT TYBEE ISLAND BEACH

Just a few pictures of the grandkids on the beach. You'll notice that my daughter and I are not in any of them because we hate getting our picture taken. Little Aiden didn't want to have anything to do with the ocean so he came running back to where my daughter and I were sitting. Taia and her dad had a great time in the water. I did take a picture with Buzz and Woody when we were at Disney World I will try and post some of those tomorrow but in the meantime I have added pictures of Disney's Epcot Center in the top left hand column of this blog. Hope you all had a great Spring break, we sure did!

Updated Teens Room

I occupy the lower level of my Daughter's home while upstairs where she and her family live is a much different style than mine. They don't care for primtives or antiques so when it was time to give my oldest granddaughter's room a make over from her beach decor, I chose to go black and white with small touches of teal.
Below is what I have completed so far. I will just add a large picture above her bed as soon as I find one suitable.

My Swap Goodies

Pam of "GoldieLoo Woodworks" was my secret Christmas swap partner this year in TDIPT's annual Christmas Swap.

This is what I received from her:


Pam, I placed your handmade checker board on the wall in my bedroom.

Your handmade Christmas word sign is hanging out in the entryway. Can you see the Merry Christmas ornament I placed at the top of the tree?

Here is a close up of the Merry Christmas ornament and the sign.

I placed all of the blackened beeswax snowmen, the big jingle bells, and your miniature handmade wooden signs on my primitive tree. I hope we get some cooler weather so I can put those red gloves to good use =)

I was so excited to see her name on the outside of my package and upon opening it I was more than pleased!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Pam. You are one of the sweetest people to grace God's earth!

Love and Hugs,
Audrey

Just Fooling Around

I purchased a Canon a while back and ended up taking it back to the store.
Just a couple of days ago I went back and got the updated version of that same Canon.
So far I love it and below are some shots I took around the house while testing it out.











Caught by grandma's new camera!
