Who knew Candy Corn was so popular?

Well so far it's a great day!!  I think since I had enough time for breakfast this morning before running out the door, that jump started my day off great...  hehe.. 

It is a little cooler here but the skies are blue so still lovin it!!

I am so excited!!  I posted my Candy Corn I just made on my FB page and not long after I have all 6 of the ones I made already spoken for, PP of course but yay...  Who knew Candy Corn was so popular??  I didn't..  I am so please how they turned out...So... guess what I will be doing tonight??  Do you need a hint??
Here it is:

I have also been thinking of wholesaling my goodies...  Anyone else wholesale?  How do you figure the minimum and the price you charge for wholesale on your items?  I would love to pick your brain if you don't mind.. teehee. 

If anyone is interested, I would love to talk about a minimum number of the same item and at what price...

This day job is sure cramping my style, I need to be crafting right now.. teehee...  

Hope this day is wonderful to you all...  Hugs, Tina

Felt like Wonder Woman this weekend - So much accomplished

Good Monday Morning to you all!!  Hope you had a great weekend!!  I feel so good since I got so much accomplished this weekend.  I can see my kitchen table a little better.. Still piled with craft junk but we can eat on it now.. haha..  Saturday I woke up, had some coffee made breakfast and then just went crazy.  Sunday was basically the same.  Got all of these goodies done,  Angels:



and some Snowmen, my favorite thing to make in the Fall..




More Pumpkins.. These seem to be so popular for Fall so it seems like I am always making them.




I did have a request to make a couple out of orange print fabric and these turned out so cute.. Alot love these and would like same fabric but... of course could only find this in FQ's and I got the only 2 they had that day..Figures... So... if you see anymore of it, please please let me know.

I did manage to get some Candy Corn done too.  I just need to put the finishing touches on them and then will post them.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!! Hugs, Tina

Happy Friday, sneak peak

Well, last night was a good night..  Even though it was only a pre-season game last night, it was still FOOTBALL... Yay.. yahoo...  Not sure what will happen this year since we no longer have our quarterback  or a couple other players....  oh well...gotta stick with my team through the good and the bad even though winning would be so much better.. hehe....Always love football season even though that means that fall is just around the corner.. 

I got a little more done on my angels.. They are finally starting to look like angels.. hehe.. here is a peak at them.

My hubby is going on a camping trip with a few buddies this weekend so it's just lil o' me...  I figure what a great time to get some of my stuff finished and maybe if I am like wonder woman, even start some new goodies.. 

Well, that's it for now..  Hope you all have a great weekend!  Hugs, Tina

Gees, where have I been?? Did you know I was gone? Vacation photos to share.

Hello there friends!! Wow, it has been a while since I have been on here to post.. We just got back this week from Vegas for our daughter's 21st birthday..  What a blast we had..  Even though the heat was in the 100's all week that didn't stop us from having fun..  We just had to go into more shops and casinos along the strip to cool off a bit.. We did hit the pool each morning and that was fun.. I finally got a little bit of color on this ghostly white complexion of mine.. teehee..   We took most of the photos with my daughter's camera but here are a couple they took with their phones.

Here is our girl, 21 now.. Wow, where has time gone?

Here is one photo of our pool.  This is the over 18 pool.  There is a waterfall and a couple hot tubs too. 
We went into Coyote Ugly but it was pretty early so there weren't a ton of people when we got there.  So...  right as soon as we walked in the gal giving out shots called Bre and I over right away.. I am not too much of a fan of shots or hard alcohol but....  didn't want to be the party pooper so took one, and only that one.. teehee.
Here is me and Bre at Coyote Ugly.  We hadn't been in the pool yet so yes I am still super ghostly, especially next to Bre, she tans beautifully.. I usually burn and then it turns back to a pasty color.. haha..

Bre's boyfriend is the dare devil of the group.. hehe..  This time he did the 855 foot jump off the Stratosphere down to almost the ground.  There is a ledge that we can all stand on to watch him come down.  Bre got the whole jump on video..  No thank you.. haha


We took the Deuce to Old Vegas so the kids could do the Zip Line they now how on Freemont.

There is a bar called the Minus5 Ice Bar in the Monte Carlo hotel.  Everything in it is made of ice, the walls, seats, tables, glasses and yes, it is cold,,, brrrrr...  When you pay to get in they give you some sock things, boots, gloves and coats and boy do you need it.. hehe..  My nose was so cold in there and we were all hoping we wouldn't end up getting sick on our vacation.. haha..  Even though you can't really stay in there a long time, it is really neat inside and we were glad we checked it out...  Here are a couple photos:


Well, now that vacation is over, I guess it's time to put it into high gear...  I have had quite a few requests for my pumpkins so that has been a priority.  I think now that I am caught up on them, I am hoping to finish all the pieces of goodies that have taken over my table...  

I have been posting some more things on my Facebook page, please check them out at Tina's Primitive Attic 

Hope you have all been well.  Thanks for taking the time to visit!  Hugs to you all, Tina

Wednesday already... time is flying by

Hello everyone out there in blogland... Hope today is treating you all well...  The yard sale this past weekend, well...  let's just say good thing we took Friday off cuz Saturday was a flop... Oh well....  all in all we didn't do too bad and we did get rid of some things so that is still good.  I did get some of my goodies stuffed while we sat there and it was sunny too so....

Got a horrible headache that just didn't want to leave me all day Sunday and Monday so the week didn't start out too good and I hope it doesn't come back cuz we will be on vacation for a week... Vegas here we come....  Bre will be 21 and that is where she wanted to go.. Should be a blast... 

So.. needless to say I haven't been very good in the crafting department...  Have some more requests for pumpkins so have to get those done when I get back and finally finish things I have started that so need to be off my kitchen table..  I think that is a table under there anyways... hehe..

Hope you all have a wonderful week!  Hugs, Tina

Hello friends!! I am bad....

Just wanted to check in..  I have been a little boring lately and not posting as much but haven't had much going on except trying to get ready for a yard sale at my daughter's house this weekend...  I knew I had alot of clothes and junk but oh boy....  I even took some things out of my craft room that we probably won't ever redo and now I have a whole big drawer for something fun and even maybe a shelf... Need to do some rearranging and organizing, that room is a mess... 

I haven't even had much time for making new craft goodies this week except for a couple orange pumpkins that I made for someone from  my Tina's Primitive Attic Facebook Page and a couple white pumpkins that were requested from there as well....  Here they are...

This one has a little more prim looking moss on the top of it.


Hope to be back to posting more after this yard sale is over and I can get back to some crafting.. I have so many things sitting on my table that need to be cut out, painted or in the finishing stages.  Boy do I have a mess.. haha...  

**Update - uh oh...  I am trying to clean out my things and what did I do on my way to lunch at my gramma and grampa's?  Stopped at an estate sale across the street...  It was weird going to this one though cuz they have lived there a long time and I used to babysit there son....  Not sure what really happened to his parents and he wasnt there for me to talk to...  Hope his family is doing okay...  Anyways....  what did I get?  I don't have photos since I just got back from lunch with them but I got a comforter that I think is thin enough that I can still cut up and craft with, a white lace table cloth, 2 embroidered runners, an box of ornaments and some flannel sheets...  I think I am in trouble.. teehee...

Hope you forgive me for all my slacking.... Hope you all have a great day!! Hugs, Tina

a Relaxing Weekend

Boy, I sure think our weekends should be longer.. teehee.. Who thought of this 5 day work week anyways...  What a great weekend.  Had some friends stop by and visit for a while Friday night...  Saturday we spent the day at the lake.  Our daughter's boyfriend's parents rented a lake spot for the summer and they have their trailer up there so we went and visited.. It wasn't really sunny or hot but I still managed to get a sunburn,, and what an awkward burn it is.. teehee...  I didn't put sunscreen on my front side very well so it is the only side that got burnt.. haha.. I don't really tan anyways, usually burn then turn back to my blinding paleness...  We had a great time out there relaxing and visiting though..

Yesterday my daughter and I went to a few yard sales but there just don't seem to be as many on Sunday..  Course we did go to quite a few that just forgot to take down their boxes... oh.. that is so annoying.. We went way out of our way to go check it out then nothing and they would have multiple signs still out..  Ahhhhhh!!!!  Or...  We would drive by and their stuff was still all covered up and it was after 9:30 even..  I did get a few things to craft with so excited about that and I only spent about $3.50 so a cheap day... 

Then I was going to just make a couple white pumpkins real quick as I have had a couple requests for them and I ended up making a few more so I was crafting almost til bed time, not what I had planned but glad I got some finished and started as these are usually a big hit at the craft shows too...

Hope you all had a great weekend and that your have a fabulous day!  Hugs, Tina
