My First Blog!!

Hi there!  I was looking at pictures on google for some PRIM decorating inspiration, when I came across a tutorial blog.  I started looking through pages and pages of blogs about prim decor and crafts and I was blown away about how wonderful the pictures and things were.  So I was inspired to start a blog of my very own!!

So a little bit about me!  I am 32 years old and have been married to my best friend for 10 years!  We have to wonderful boys, Logan is 11 and Dallas is 9.  They keep us very busy!!  I have 2 dogs, Jack is 13 and is a cocker spaniel/jack russel terrier mix and Bones is 2 and he is full blooded German Sheperd.  I am the pink in my house of blue!!

I fell in love with the primitive style of decorating about a year ago.  I was visiting a local church christmas craft show with my mom and was introduced to this way of decorating.  LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!  My husband has a huge garage filled with woodworking tools that we have purchased over the years for various remodeling projects so i got inspired to try and build some of the things that I wanted for our home!  I wanted a bench for my porch so our first project was a wooden bench to set flowers and other decorations on.  We struggle with it for an entire day but it finally came together!!  I love it!  And as soon as I figure out how to put pictures on here I will post some!!  Ok so back to my story....I showed a few of my friends and co-workers the pictures of my bench and the way I had decorated my porch and they loved it!  The next thing I knew we building my benches left and right!!  I could not believe how much we enjoyed doing it!  People started asking me if I could build other things for them...so going on a brief description and a prayer we set out to fullfill all of there wooden wishes :)  

I love looking around my home and seeing all of the things that my husband and I have built together!  There are wonderful memories all over!!

So I will wrap this up for my first blog and try to figure out all of the things I can do on this page!!
