My Secret Swap Partner Is Mona of My Old Crow Primitives!

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was when my swap package arrived! It felt like Christmas morning as I opened one treasure after another. Mona of My Old Crow Primitives was my swap partner and she sent the most wonderful things! All of her hand made items are so beautiful. Take a look at the photo and you'll see a heart and crow make do that is so fabulous! The little wire heart is filled with rose hips that smells very good! She also made several ornies including an angel, cat, and a ginderbread man. And the crow pillow pin keep is so sweet. I'm already putting it to good use! She also sent along several other items I can use for my own creations such as a bundle of various homespun fabrics, wood bobbins, vintage buttons, and rusty bells. Be sure to visit My Old Crow Primitives at our WSOAPP Market Street Shoppes. You'll find very special and high quality hand made primitives. Thanks, Mona! I love it all.

Where's The Summer Going To?

Wow! How fast the summer is going! I can't believe it. It won't be long until I'm in my classroom teaching Reading and Math! But for now I'm having fun crafting and gardening. Here are a few photos of my yard!
