Snow Before Christmas *Well I certainly Hope NOT*
But for those of you wanting it I Wish you a White Christmas!!
it is Cold this morning the air is Brisk and we do have a chance of flurries this evening!
Merry Christmas to you from The Rusty Thimble
Not many Holiday Decorating Pictures to share with you
I have so enjoyed visiting your blogs and viewing all of your decor
WOW what a year for me I have truly been blessed
I have surpassed many goals and for that I am so thankful!
And I am Still giving!! Some ask me how I can do this and see any profit in my business
*The profit my dear Friends is just that*
I Cherish your friendships, I love to give, remember this year to give from your heart
*It is not the size not the value but the TRUE meaning of a gift*
And for those of you who were repeat customers this fall and winter
You did get a notice of a special gift that will be sent to you in January
Thank you for your business
Other blessings came our way this year
Miss Shelby our Sweet Baby grew up
See we had snow last year *Good enough for me, I prefer none this year!*
Yes Miss Shelby became a Mommy
OH how I miss the other Two but we did keep that funny looking little White one
*Rango* While Shelby was carrying these little babies, the movie Rango was
being advertised. My hubby would look at her and say are you going to have me a little Rango LOL
Well thus the name stuck, and it fit because for those that recall we thought she had three boys.
*Surprise Rango, Cowboy, and Jackson were all Girls*
Rango!! Shelby is loving and sweet Rango is a Mess!!!
We got the movie Rango and it is a Whoot watching her
She watches TV, just last night we watched the movie Cowboys and Aliens
She barks at every critter she sees on TV and if she is not barking
she sits and growls this low toned little growl
*Such a character she is*
I will be bathing these two today and hopefully be able to capture a Great picture of them
Wish me luck that is a chore to accomplish LOL
Back to the year in review!!
My hubby and I both have three children each
All grown adults!!
Our boys are two weeks apart in age and they both married this year
One in May the other in July!
My youngest son and my new DIL
I am so proud of you two! Even though you moved so far away
I miss you guys and love you a bunch
We never get pictures of the others or I would share them with you
Hubby is going to be a grandpa this spring, I snatched this one from his daughter on FB
Congratulations they are such a sweet couple!!
Merry Christmas to my Grandson, Nana loves you and would love to be able to
spend some time with you, I miss you
*this pictures is over a year old!*
What will the new Year bring for Me
Well I am not sure, I will set my goals and work towards them as always
As most know I started Wholesaling this year to shops all over the USA!
That thrills me because I miss my store so much!
If you are interested in purchasing Wholesale from me there is an email link
on my left Sidebar
This guy was my hottest selling item for spring this year
he is a Kentucky Primitives design
I have so many new ones for the upcoming year that I can not wait to share with you
This is a design by TFC folkart
And yes I will continue to have giveaways every month
So please do follow along and share 2012 with us
Wow I can not believe that this little corner of my world
This blog is so close to having 1,000 followers
*I foresee I HUGE giveaway when that goal is met*
I think you all for sharing The Rusty Thimble with others it is through that
That I have reached so many followers.
I enjoy your sweet comments and the wonderful emails
They brighten up my world everyday!!
Our little RED house
*Ok yes to most it is a mobile home*
But God has blessed us with this little abode and I am proud to have it
So much has changed and I just realized I have never taken a picture since it
was skirted and we built the deck, and girls I have news for you
Until it warms up I have no intentions of taking photos outside!!
So that shall be on my list of to do's in early spring
We will be doing some landscaping this spring and our fence will be up
A little wooden picket style fence for my Fur Babies so they can enjoy
Being outside
The only Goal I did not reach for 2011 was decorating my home
so this year my plans are to Empty out each room one at a time and
Start from a clean slate, Our rooms are small and there are not many of them
so that should not be too difficult to do
I wish each and everyone of you a Very Blessed and Merry Christmas
And I look forward to a New Year with you all
Your friendship is a True blessing in my life
Brenda
Warm Christmas Blessing to you Brenda
