New Prims

READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!

I was contacted last week by our local newspaper asking to do a FEATURE ARTICLE on Five Acre Primitives. What an opportunity! I am SO excited!! My interview with Bonnie from the newspaper is this afternoon and the photo~shoot will be next week.
With two big shows coming up in the next two months and this Feature Article, there are alot of new and exciting things happening at Five Acre Primitives.
I need to climb down from Cloud 9 for a bit and get BUSY!

new adventure...

well, I'm finally gonna do it...I'm going to start selling my prims in a local shop!!! I have been thinking about this for quite a long time and I'm very excited to see what happens. I've been working on Americana items and getting ready to start on some awesome pumpkins for my booth. I'll be setting up my booth August 1st...can't wait!!!! I just finished this Americana star today for the booth. This was inspired by a pattern by Becky at Tennessee Ridge Primitives.

I got a new toy!!

                                                                                 

After many years of using my homemade trailer that was given to me (in the background) it finally sprung a leak...so...it was time...I got a new one!!! I just love it!..so excited..NOW I gotta fill it up :) It's only a 6x12..but that's plenty big for me. It's just the motivation I needed to get BUSY and get LOTS of prims made for my shows this year...think I'll start first thing in the morning :)

and the winner of my primitive rabbit blog giveaway is....

It's another great day at Five Acre Primitives! I have reached over 100 followers AND I have a winner for my 1st blog giveaway!! It's Tammy at A Primitive Place!! I have contacted Tammy and the primitive rabbit is already hopping her way :) THANK YOU to ALL of my new prim friends for the warm welcome to blogland. I am already planning another giveaway to post soon...stay tuned. I created this prim rabbit using a pattern by Tennessee Ridge Primitives...LOVE her patterns!

I MISS YA'LL...

I've been missin' my blogger friends lately...but I've been in the woods from sun up to sun down for a couple of weeks now. I love hunting MORELS! Been finding them by the gallons this year...best year in a LONG time!!! Havin' a blast...I'll be back in a week or two :) By the way, I'm only ONE Follower away from my bunny giveaway!! Very excited to hit the big 100! See you soon!

Coupon Shopping Trip

ok...I finally did it! I went coupon shopping today!! My total bill came to $111.50 and I only paid $80.24 after $31.26 of coupons and ad~matching was deducted. I saved over 28%...and that's pretty darn good for me. It was actually kinda fun...and it felt great to save my family money :) It didn't really take THAT long to get it all organized...maybe next time it'll take even less. Monday night my church had Misty from The Frugal Family give a couponing class, and I really learned alot from her. Then I watched Extreme Couponing this week..WOW!..they are EXTREME!! I'll never have a supply stored up like they do...I don't even want to! I won't spend an hour a day doing it, but I will spend an hour a week to save. It's a great way to save money on groceries and household items and get my daughter's college fund built up.
