We have arrived

We have made it to Houston Texas and everything went well. I have been buried in boxes and wood flooring for over a week now :-) But, I have my web site boxes and craft supplies all unpacked and I am almost running back at 100%. It has been crazy but all is good and we are all adjusting to moving back to the big city life. We are getting ready to put up lots of new items to our web store so be sure and come take a look around. More to come soon.

Getting Ready For Our Big Move

We are preparing to move back to Texas. We moved back to Illinois about 9 years ago and loved being closer to my family. But, now all of my children have decided they loved Texas and have all moved back there. My daughter and Son-in-law have blessed us with two wonderful grandkids and my middle son has just recently married a very special girl. So, my husband put in for a transfer and it has come through; so back to Texas we go. I am looking forward to being closer to all my kids and my husbands family but I will miss my family here. So, we have been packing up the house and getting ready to pack up my web site for the big move. I will post again and let you know how our 1000 mile journey goes with our 24ft truck, trailer, car, two dogs, and a cat. :-)

www.oldcountrycrows.com

I finally have time to blog about my website. I created www.oldcountrycrows.com about 3 years ago and every month it has more orders than the month before. Its my baby, I get to watch it grow. It gives me something to do since I have an empty nest now.
I love being able to work from home and sell primitive country home decor. The challenge of finding new ways to get the website noticed is exciting, my daughter is always giving me new ideas. Now only if I could get her to help pack and ship orders. I'm always looking for comments and ideas for the website. Make sure you check it out.
I hope to put more products on in the near future.

Family

I can not believe that it is only 18 days until Christmas.

I have been busy shopping and packing orders for my web site.

I try not to let the season get so busy that I forget why we celebrate

or to take time for my family. Family is so very important and it

is always extra special when we get to spend that extra time together;

sharing good food and company. I hope everyone will have a

wonderful holiday season and remember to take time to slow down

and really enjoy the whole thing; from wrapping the gifts, the cookie bakes, to the Christmas Eve service.

Indiana Covered Bridge Festival

Well, we have been just crafting our little fingers off; getting ready for the covered bridge festival in Mansfield Indiana. This will be our 6th year out there. The festival will run from October 9th to the 18th. There is a lot to see and eat there! We are always in the large craft tent located at Hill Top Farms. In our tent there are special Embroidered Shirts, Dips, Florals, Country Primitive home decor and much more.

Most of the vendors in our tent have been doing this show for many many years. With 3 large towns involved in this festival you could spend 3 days out there and still not see everything. The covered bridge tour is also something to see!

We hope to see you there.

Summers Almost Over

I Can't believe that the dog days of summer are nearly over.

June and July flew by.

I hope that I will be able to get more accomplished in August. :-)

There never seems to be enough time.

I am hoping now that my daughter is not working she can help me

with the blog and some contest ideas I have had.

Adding more soon.... I hope.

I am a grandma again.

Hi, It's been a while since I have posted...But I have been super busy!

I was in Texas for 3 weeks with my daughter waiting for my new granddaughter.

She finaly arrived on Monday July 20th and the proud parents named her Taylor Madison.

She is just a little doll and with a name like Taylor Madison. Just imagine whom she could grow up to be. :-)
