It's that time! Yup, giveaway time! It has been tooooo long since my last giveaway. I think it was 3 years ago, yikes!!! But here is what is up for grabs. A OOAK piece of folk art by me Genevieve at Olde Pear Primitives. It comes signed and dated. I used a pattern of my very own. If you are interested in purchasing the pattern for your future projects you can purchase it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/125390062/primitive-bird-in-hand-e-pattern?" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my patriotic bird and hand. Made to look time worn and well loved. The wood base is made from a spindle top and old well worn wood for its base. It has been painted and waxed sealed for that old look. Wouldn't it look great in your cupboard or mantel? </div>

Boy, it's been quite some time since I have been on here. I have been posting mostly to Facebook. But I may come back here more often because I found the blogger app on my phone. I mostly write from my phone because its convenient and sometimes I get inspired when my computer is not around me. But I just wanted to post some pictures of what I have been working on. It's a Valentine heart and hand garland, and a hand in heart for your cubby display. I hope you enjoy it. I am working on the patterns for them for sale. They should be finished soon. I'm just working out the kinks. Plus, I am going to try EBay and list them on there to see how they fair. But thanks again for stopping by my blog <br />
I hope you all have a wonderful week<br />
<br />
<br />

I just wanted to pop on over to let you all know I am still alive. LOL. I do have some awesome news to share with all of you. I am going to be selling my primitives in a local prim shop. I am so excited and nervous. I have been trying to work on some things for selling. I'll post pics when I finish them. I have so many ideas and so little time to finish them. But that is life ;). Oh, and I got the most wonderful mother's day gift ever! I'll post a picture later on this evening when I get back from my kids baseball games. I was so happy I nearly cried.<br />
But I am sorry I have neglected all of you :( I have been meaning to get on here more. I just am swamped. I am hoping things die down a little once school ends. I hope everyone had a great mother's day and has a great memorial day weekend! And for those of you that read my blog and live in the south jersey area. Please stop by Candles in the Attic located on North second street in Millville. My hand mades will be available this fall.<br />

Did you miss me?Hello! It has definitely been a while since I last posted. <br />
Let me see, my children's school is closing for good. But the good news is they are going to make it a private school. They will no longer be under the diocese's thumb. Hurray! That is some well deserved good news.<br />
And I am still currently working on my house. I have made some Tobacco Cloth inspired drapes using 90 grade cheesecloth. I think it is very similar and much more affordable. I also dyed them in walnut ink to give them more of an aged look.<br />

Pretty good don't ya think? I also made a little trip on Saturday to a local Prim shop. Well, no.<br />
Actually, I went with my husband to drop off the van AGAIN to be fixed. I remembered that there was a Prim shop around the corner that I never got to visit because it is only open on Friday and Saturday. But we went in and it was like heaven. I already have a shelf in mind to purchase when I get my pay check on friday. It will look perfect in the family room. Anyway, my husband was chatting up the owner and mentioned to her that I made prims. She was very interested in seeing my work. We exchanged cards and she told me whenever I had the chance to give her a ring so I could bring my work down to the store so she could get a look at it. I am quite excited and nervous at the same time. I don't know what to bring to her. Eeek! So, this weekend I will pulling stuff out and quite possibly making a few things. Wish me luck!<br />
<br />
But I just wanted to pop back on to let you know I am still alive. I just have been extremely busy. I hope you do forgive my long absence. But I will definitely keep you all posted.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a Blessed week!<br />

I learned this past Friday that the school my kids attend will be closing this coming June. But the school and it's parents are fighting this decision. The school has set up a website where you can make a donation. We really need your help in this. I currently work at this school as so does my oldest sister. She teaches 5 grade math. The school is more than a school to me and my children. It is one big family and right now we are being ripped apart.<br />
They welcomed my kids with open arms when we first moved back to the area from being in the military. My kids were going through some tough adjustments and changes. The teachers there helped them to readjust and fit right in with ease. I was so ever greatfull for their compassion. And when my grandmother died following the months we arrived there, the principle came out to the funeral to send her condolences personally. Now, I ask you. What school principle would do that? What teacher would take the time to help one student to fit into the classroom of 20 kids?<br />
This school. This is why I am going to fight tooth and nail for this school and for my kids. I shouldn't have to uproot them once again. So, if you could make a donation for this school, not for me, not for the teachers and staff that work there. But for the CHILDREN. They are the ones who will be affected the most by the decision of the Diocese.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.<br />
<br />
Here is the<a href="http://savendrs.com/" target="_blank"> link</a> to donate.<br />
And if you would like to read the article about the closing you can read about it <a href="http://www.thedailyjournal.com/article/20120121/NEWS01/301210038/Notre-Dame-heartbroken-over-closure" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
God Bless,<br />

And Hello to the New Year!It has bee quite a loooooooong while since I last made a post. Been a busy bee around here. I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas and New Year. I sure had a nice one. I am hoping things die down over here so I can have a giveaway. I wanted to do one for so very long. Maybe, fingers crossed, I can do one on my birthday which is right around the corner. Eeeek! I am going to be 30! Ugh, I can't believe how old I am getting. :( But with age comes wisdom, right? So, lets hope I get wiser on my birthday. :)<br />

A woman from the school my kids attend to asked me to make some of my snowmen for her. And also, I was her advent angel (or secret santa) which I participated in. I made her an angel. And here she is.......<br />
Pretty cute?! I also just purchased my first wood pattern. I am going to try my hand at making a cupboard. I want to see if I like working with a new medium. I will let you know how it turns out. Hopefully, not crooked. LOL. But I want to thank you all for still hanging in there for me and reading my blog. Even though I have neglected it some, you're still here ((hugs)). And for those of you who have joined I welcome you with open arms and heart! God bless you all!<br />
<br />
I am also in the works with a new blog. I was inspired to do a prims on a budget one after changing lifestyles and moving. I wanted to share some of my ideas and ways of getting the prims you want without spending a fortune. I will let you know when it's up and running.<br />
<br />
But take care! And have a great week everyone!<br />
<br />
<br />
Big Hugs!!!<br />

Life has gotten the better of me these days. I began working again after being a stay-at-home mom for 9 years. It has been a big change for me. Now I have very little time for blogging or crafting. Plus, I have been painting rooms in my new home trying to make it "Ours". I really wanted to do a giveaway last month but I just had no time to devote to it. :( And I feel really bad after winning Kimberlee's giveaway over at her blog, <a href="http://thepatriothomeplace.blogspot.com/2011/10/and-winner-is.html">The Patriot Home Place</a>, and not posting pictures. Please forgive me Kimberlee. :( these pictures are very long over do.<br />

I also received a wonderful pumpkin and a gorgeous fall candle wreath. But I have put away my fall items soon after Halloween so I couldn't get them pictured. I now have my house decked out in Christmas attire lol. I would love to show all of you my home but it is soooooooooo cluttered and messy I am so embarrassed. I have stencils and boxes strewn around. And not to mention my boys toys and socks. So, hopefully this weekend it will all be spotless. Fingers crossed. But before I end this post I was thinking of doing an ornie swap. I love to do swaps and since I don't belong to forums anymore I haven't been able to do one. So, I was thinking of doing one myself. It wouldn't be anything big. Just one ornie you would have to make. I will keep you all posted when I will be starting it. But thanks again to all of you who still read my blog! I really do appreciate all of you!<br />

Which can explain my absence.

I can't wait to finish it up so we can have this wonderful giveaway. It has almost been a year since I last had one! Yikes! I am going to get my butt in high gear and finish it up. :) I am hoping the weather will get dryer. It has been hard to paint anything at all. We even had to postpone painting in the house because it is quite damp still. </div>I know fall is just around the corner. But I am already getting ideas for Christmas. I am <br />
arranging things in my mind where I want them in my house and outside as well. I must be nuts. LOL. But I love Christmas. And this year is extra special to me because it will be the first year I can spend it with family. I am so excited!! <br />

I want to thank you all for the prayers. They most definately worked. My husband did make it home from New York. Although, he was the only crazy nut driving back into New Jersey that day. LOL. But we were all together bracing ourseleves for the storm. We did lose power and our neighbors in the back lost a HUGE tree. But thankfully, they are ok. We did not lose any trees thank goodness. But the yard is a mess with branches and leaves. We have lots of flooding still on our major streets over here. But for the most part I think Vineland made out ok. Oh, I also forgot to mention, now we need to get a new roof. With all this ran we had it made some leaks. We had to put buckets up in our attic to collect the water. Oh, and don't get me started on my basement. DISASTER. <br />
But we survived. And all is well. I just wanted to hop on to let you all know. :)<br />
I am also working on my swapaway prize and a surprise package for a friend. Which is long over due and I am such a bad friend. <br />
But I will be back to post my progress.<br />
I hope all of those who were caught in the hurricane are alright. And my prayers go out to those who lost a loved one.<br />

If you haven't heard already the east coast was surprised by an earthquake. I was very surprised myself. We felt it and my house was shaking. A very scary thing to go through for the first time. <br />
Second, I am now on hurricane watch. I have been getting prepared all morning. I have flashlights, batteries, water, and I filled both my bath tubs just in case they shut off the water. And I am praying my husband makes it home from work today. He is over in New York. So, if you can, keep me and my family in your prayers. <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Well, onto the good part.

I don't know why. I try to start something and then I just can't bring myself to finish. Well, that all ended when a little kitty entered my life. I have named him Boris. I think he likes it, he hasn't complained. I found him outside my window one morning scaring my birds. I told him "Shoooo!!!". But to no avail. He would not leave. He calmly sauntered his way to my back door. Looked up at me with those beautiful green eyes and gave a quiet "Meow". My heart melted. I gave in and opened the door. He calmly made himself comfortable on my couch. He looked so cute I just had to sit next to him and stroke his back. He looked back at me and as if he was saying "It's time to create." I pondered the thought and said, "You're right, it's time." So, with my insecurities aside and self doubt put away, I went to work. I began projects and finished them. I made new items from brand new ideas I have had. I had strength and creative motivation again. And it was all because of Boris. The magical cat that entered my life at the right time. He came to me for a reason. And that reason was to find myself creatively again. I had been lost for so long in a cloud of depression and low self worth. I forgot the joys of creating and making prim art. I forgot what it was like to finish a project, step back and look and at what I had accomplished. But somehow, that cat brought that back to me. Somehow, he knew just how to get me going again. "What a silly cat." I said to myself. And with that Boris sat in my lap and purred. Kneading my legs like dough, he made himself comfy. And I; well, got to work........</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Just checking in....Hello everyone. I have not been on in a verrrrrry long time. I am so sorry for that. I have been feeling quite down and have had no creative energy. But I am giving myself a dead line to get back in the game. Tee Hee... I am planning on having my Swapaway in Sept. Which means, I better get a move on with the giveaway prize. But I just wanted to let you all know I am still floatin around here. I hope to be back to myself in a week or so. Fingers crossed. :)<br />

I have a style of couches and chairs in mind but I don't know where to find them. The stores around here do not carry this type of furniture. So, I was thinking I may have to look in the Pennsylvania, Delaware, or Connecticut areas. Or heck, if anyone knows of a furniture store in New Jersey who sells this style let me know.<br />
If any bloggers from these areas knows of such stores could you tell lil ol' me where I should go?<br />

I am sorry I have not posted as much as I should be. It seems that at my house boxes are like rabbits; they multiple like crazy!!! As soon as I finish one set of boxes, I find more!!!!! Ugh.....but oh well. <br />
I did want to post about the most wonderful surprise I recieved in the mail. Tam from <a href="http://aprimitiveplace.blogspot.com/">A Primitive Place Tammy</a> sent me the most amazing goodies! I was spoiled rotten. She sent me some goodies out of the goodness of her heart. She wanted to give me some house warming gifts. And let me tell you.....they warm my house right up. I wanted to post this a little earlier but I didn't have a clean room to show you where they would be going. So, for some of the pictures I must warn you of the mess. Be careful though, it bites.....lol.<br />

I am moved in. It feels really weird to have my own place that I can do with whatever I please. I have always been used to military housing where you can't do much. You can't paint, you can't take down walls. You can't choose the style of your house. You get what you get and deal with it. So, this home owner thing is really very new to me. As soon as we moved in we began to paint. I mean we had too. The choice of colors were not my own and we wanted to feel like it was "our" house. And plus, I didn't want to wait until the furniture came only to have to move things around.<br />
As I am putting things away and placing things on the newly painted walls I notice something; my decorating style. I never really noticed it before but it is a blend of modern and country with a splash of colonial. LOL. I really want to be more colonial/prim but the old man won't let me. He says I decorate like an old lady. Uggggh! Men. But I am hoping once this mess is cleaned up I can take some pictures of my progress. And hopefully I can find my sewing machine. It is MIA right now and it's driving me nuts. I want to get back to making some things I have swirling around in my head. That reminds me. I am going to be having a giveaway of sorts to celebrate my new house and new beginning in life. I was thinking more of a "swapaway". I just have no luck at winning at giveaways and I know how frustrating it can be. So, my idea was to have one special person win my hand made item for the giveaway plus there will be a swap with the people who sign up in my giveaway. I know it sounds confusing but it is really simple. When I post my giveaway I will put a deadline for the swap. Once I have everyone I will give out swap partners and from those listed in the swap one lucky person will win my giveaway prize. So, in the end everyone will go home with something. :) And for the swap it will be one handmade item of your choice. So, what do you think? Good idea? Let me know. And as soon as I find my sewing machine I will get started on the Swapaway. Hehe...<br />

Have a great Monday everyone!<br />

After me talking about it so much I thought I would finally share a picture with you. It's not the greatest pic because I am using my phone to blog at the moment. But I am hoping after the move and I finally get internet I will be back to normal blogging. <br/><br/><br/>Thanks for taking a peek! <br/><br/>Gen

But I just wanted to write what was in my mind. I am actually writing to you from my phone because I still have no internet or house. Lol. I have been going stir crazy with not being able to create. I miss my sewing machine so much! Lol. But it has also given me so much time to reflect on myself and on others. I find with myself I need to challenge myself more artistically. I need to push myself more and not be afraid of what others may think or say. I need to stop being naive in believing everyone wants to be my friend. As I have learned quite the hard way. And that disappointments are a way of life. I may not be the most popular or the best artist there is. But hey, I know I am to me. And for now, that is good enough for me. Life is way to short to sweat the small stuff. So, I am not gonna sweat a thing. <br/><br/>On a brighter note..... We are looking to get into our house by the end of this month. I am really hoping to get things nice and decorated for my new picture trail. My goal for this year is to get into country sampler or a primitive place magazine. I am really hoping I can get my house featured this year. I can dream big, right? <br/><br/>~*hugs and blessings*~<br/><br/>Genevieve
