Life is sweet.....

....so I wrote everyone's name on a little strip of paper that commented on the last post and then I threw them all down on the ground for Ozzy to pick...before he could grab one, Lita grabbed one and took off running....then Ozzy grabbed one and ran the other direction...Lita grabbed "Joanna" and Ozzy grabbed "Anita". And that's the "surprise give away" ~ you both win a pair of these awesome "Starry Starry Night" earrings!!! Congratulations!!! They'll be shipped out tomorrow! I hope you love them and perhaps, just perhaps, you'll get them in time for New Year's Eve! Hooray!!!!!I think Lita was feeling a little jealous because I'm always taking pictures of Ozzy and posting them on my blog, so here's a picture of her standing in the snow {that's been on the ground for over a week now!}. She is such a sweet little dog. But, she's not very nice to Ozzy and I guess that's why I'm always treating him a little "special".Well, I finally ventured out in the snow yesterday. My Louisiana blood [and driving skills] has kept me confined to my house since Friday before last! I just went to deliver a few Christmas gifts and then down to the farm to bring all my leftovers, after cleaning out the fridge. Boy, were those chickens, geese & rabbits glad to see me! They all came running as soon as I pulled up!And did you know that rabbits like spaghetti! And old "Tom Turkey" was running around with all the others ~ thank goodness for Bill & MaryAnn, he lived to see yet another holiday season pass him by! And it's the little things like that, that keep me smiling :)Life is sweet!!! enjoy it to the fullest!

♥ & peace always ~ Kathy

A great yard sale.....

.....is almost better than a "bird in hand" :) ~ What a great weekend! The weather is just gorgeous! Saturday was the perfect day for a yard sale! And Paula had some awesome stuff:like this cuter than cute little chicken basket...this wonderful little flower pot...lots of purple things {like this hat, modeled by Anne}.......but these were my favorites! There are 8 of them in the container and I'll be sending them off, one by one with the next 8 purchases from my shop. They are sooooo cute!!! You know you want one :)

I gotta run for now and get my "Art Box" ready. I'll blog about it Wednesday, with pictures. It's an awesome concept through a local restaurant.....really cool. But before I go, I must share this beautiful necklace that is brand new in the shop. It's called "Rock Me":
that huge chunk of Citrine is just gorgeous.

Happy Monday!!! Oh, and don't forget to comment on the last post for a chance to win that cute little "My Boyfriend's Back" bracelet.

Does a chicken have lips....

....you would think so, by the way they devoured that "fake crab" salad I tossed them yesterday! And, my sweet little donkey friend sure enjoyed the carrots.......and did you know that rabbits eat oranges! I learn something new everyday around here :)But this sweet little goat is still my favorite ~ he comes running to see me every time I show up. It feels good to be "loved". And speaking of loved, the winner of those awesome earrings from last Wednesday's post is Nichole!!! *Yay* ~ Lita picked #3. Be sure and check back this Wednesday {January 28th} for a chance to win something else {it's a surprise and you'll love it, I promise!}.

We are off to Hendersonville for the afternoon ~ have a happy Monday!!!!
♥ & peace always ~ Kathy
