Here are the Greens show pics. It is always great to get out and see your customers.I love to work this show if only to enter-act with past customers. Its really nice to put a face to who is buying your Handmade and for them to see who it is that is making the treasures they put in there homes. I have been doing this show for 8 years with a group of 3-4 others and we do two booths and join them together it really gives it a nice flow Enjoy!

I'm finishing up all the last minute things I have to get done before I drop off for set up  at the last show of the season at Salem Fair Grounds Greens 2008 show. I fill I'm ahead of myself this time and think I have to make something else because I'm always running around at the last minute freaking out saying" I need more time" this time I fell I didn't do enough.     I hope this one dose well. I will post pic's latter of the both this week.Hope to see you there

Ok I had a great week end with two of my sisters and my niece. we took a road trip up to the Seattle area (3 hrs. away) . My sister has been going to this annual Bazaar hopping called "Rommathone" for the past 8 years. She had asked me in the past if I would like to go but I'm always to busy this time of the year getting ready to do the Winter Shows  and this time I was able to get a way and tag along. We went up the night before and stayed in a Hotel and in the morning we met up at Roma's Home and had a wonderful breakfast and caravanned to pre  selected holiday Bazaars. Some of the shows I could have past up Ok to be honest there was only one show that was half way worth getting out of the car for. Our last stop was to

The Country Village Bothell , Wash.

The Country Cupboardwas the best and as far as I was concerned we could have started and ended there it had so many shops to go thru and I came across two shops I had only seen in a monthly or bi-monthly  ad listing of shops in the Northwest and I didn't  know if I would ever have the chance to go there. and I didn't know we were going there to my surprise . What a great weekend but know it is time to get back to work ~Jessica

I went and seen my favorite singer/song writer  AMY GRANT. It was her 20th ANNIVERSARY    of Lead Me On. I have been a huge fan of hers since 1979 when one of my older sister brought My Fathers Eyes album home. My sister and niece  and I stuck around after the  concert  to see if we could see her . Well we got to talk and see her band members that where original band members back in 1988. She is still so pretty and if it is possible she is prettier  in person . She will be turning 48 in November and she's still going strong . She performed all her oldies but goodies and sang two new song to be recored in January when she heads in to the studio to record her next upcoming album. Can't wait

I just finished my Snow Guy and I'm so thrilled of how it turned out I will post pics of Him later today. I thonk I may put my Snow Guy  on Ebay it will be my first list so I will cross my fingers &   see how it does♥♥

OK so I'v started on winter creations. and I'm kind stuck. I know a lot of you out there know what I'm talking about.I tell myself every year that I'm going to get a head start this year but like always I put it off till  I'm burning the midnight oil thats when I get the most done and I can look back and see I'v always done it this way Nothing like at the last minute. It reminds me of a TV show when the kids have had friends over and it becomes a party out of control and their left with the biggest mess and the parents are pulling in the drive way and as the door knob is turning the last item  is back in it's place. Well the next time I post I hope I have some progress made

I thought  I would show  something I had been working on this week. It is going to a shop in Lebanon Oregon "My Country Home" .   It is a great little shop and just this week she moved into a larger shop. She already out grew her first place and she just opened in June of this year. We don't have very many Prim shops in Oregon so it's always great to see a shop already out grow it's first place and do so well.I'm taking a load of my hand made Fall creations. and I will be starting on winter things. I have so many ideas of what i would like to  make  so we shall see if I get to even half of the things I want to do.The other piece I had worked on this week was for a  gal Christina who owns a shop in Junction City "Buttermilk Junction" that is also a cool shop you have to check it out   http://www.buttermilkjunction.com/ I met her thru  Vivian who owns the shop" My country Home" and on Webshots. If you haven't been to web Shots and you love Prim than it's a must it is addicting the gals there are so sweet and love to share there prim ideas  http://community.webshots.com/user/homesteadprim you can check it out on my webshot link and there is a area that says Friends hit it and you will see all the gals homes It is Fun so check it out and if you join add me :-)

Ok I'm having one of those day's were I can't seem to get it together and if I don't it will pass me by. I'm trying to finish up on my pumpkin w/crow(S) and it's almost done  so I really dont know why I'm putting it off. I guess it's one of those day's
