Two Crazy Crafters

I want to thank everyone for leaving comments wishing me a happy birthday. You are all so kind to take the time to do that. I appreciated each and every one of them!

My children always make me feel so special on my birthday. It is as much fun for them watching me open my presents as it is for me opening them!

Here is a picture of some of my gifts spread out on the table. As the theme would suggest, I had several pieces of my beloved Folk Art Pfaltzgraff.

This picture of me is so funny, but it captures the excitement of the moment.

At long last I have the hard to find dough bowl! It is hard to describe how big this bowl is. It measures 13" across the top. It is huge! Jordan says he asked me some time ago what I wanted for my birthday and I said the Folk Art dough bowl. I didn't even remember telling him. Probably because I didn't expect to ever get it.

I love this sweet little milk can that Lindsey bought me.

She also bought me this vintage wall pocket.

Jordan added to my enamel collection with these two tea pots. He bought the red one on ebay and it came all the way from Normandy, France.

I have wanted this set of Daisy D's paper for a long time and Lindsey surprised me with it! Also the Crafty Secrets stamp set that I have been secretly wishing for:)

Lindsey bought me this beautiful Cinderella cookie jar. She is just so charming and I love her! I don't know who the maker is and I am curious about her. If anyone knows anything about this piece, I'd love to learn more about her.

I so appreciated the comments I received that I wanted to give back to my sweet readers. I gave a pair of house shoes to the first commenter who was Tatting Chic!

The other winners were:

Holly at Girls at Heart

Jennifer at For the Love of a Teddy Bear

Lindsay Ann at The Cross Stitch House

And Sparkle Farkle

I am sending them all a little surprise. Thank you ladies for your greetings.

Sunday we took one of our daycations. There is a town in Missouri named Frankenstein. It is the only one in the United States. We discovered it on the internet and learned there is a beautiful old church there. It was so beautiful Sunday that we decided to go see if we could find it.

We enjoyed driving through the beautiful Missouri countryside and was so excited when we finally found this sign! We weren't disappointed. The church was beautiful!

Don't forget about the Wizard of Oz Gala. There is still plenty of time to sign up for it! If you'd like to participate just let us know and we'll add your name to our participants list. Lindsey is busily creating some wonderful things for the event. We can't wait!

Have a wonderful week! Twyla
