Wishing You and Yours A Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year, Tina

oops, edited this post and it went to the land of of draft! Here it is again. I am working on a lot of new things I hope to post soon.

On The First Day of Christmas ....

I was asked by a fellow Military Spouse to make something for Christmas for her husband and his friends to be able to remember their time in the desert ... well this immediately popped into my head and now my kids are even singing it!

I wanted to make something that would be lighthearted and funny. My husband actually had no problems coming up with all 12 Days, but I needed a small size to make the perfect portable gift ... bonus ~ it will hang on a doorknob or tree! The 12 Days are Available on a Larger Sign ...

Thank you for looking.

Have a Blessed Holiday Season,
Tina

I took this picture from St. Andrew's Pier, Panama City, Florida, earlier this year the calm after the storm .... gorgeous.

Here is one of my favorite signs I designed for my shows... simple, but with a powerful statement! Also the O' Beautiful for Heroes Proved .... very patriotic, and inspirational ...

The Tale of the Beverly Hillbilly - eBay Buyer Requests Seller to Commit Fraud

In the beginning, the Beverly Hillbilly claimed that the USPS lost packages and had problems delivering to his address; so items had to be signed for. He was given the option of UPS Ground as the standard shipping method listed was USPS Priority and the rates were reasonably comparable.

Item is shipped and signed for and a week goes by. Then the Beverly Hillbilly contacts seller to state that sign is damaged. Since sign was signed for, there is proof of date of delivery and signature. Seller wonders why Beverly Hillbilly took so long; maybe he doesn't realize that damaged package should be reported immediately. He states that he worked for UPS in past and it would have been used as a frisbee. So apparently he understood UPS procedures and it just took that long for him to decide that he wanted another great Original by Old Glory Soldiers.

Beverly Hillbilly states would have been good to put item in box to ship instead of industrial bubble wrap, layers of industrial heavy paper; and heavy packaging tape. Sellers states that a UPS provided box for upgraded shipping charge would have been an option of course, but Beverly Hillbilly chose cheaper option. Unfortunately, shippers don't make the rules, we just follow them.

The seller offers to replace item with proof, which the Beverly Hillbilly never provides. The seller also offers additional shipping options with the "free" shipping supplies from the carrier the Beverly Hillbilly wanted to use; but he never indicated any interested in $30 plus dollars for those UPS "free" shipping supplies that he wanted to use so bad.

Next--- If the Beverly Hillbilly can't get the seller to defraud UPS, then ...
The Beverly Hillbilly buyer asks the seller to commit fraud by using US Postal supplies to package and ship UPS items.

The Beverly Hillbilly buyer tries to defraud the carrier by making an unsupported claim; and refusing to make the item available for inspection.

The Beverly Hillbilly buyer then leaves false feedback. So the seller decides to warn all potential victims so they aren't FAST victims on this TRACK.

Moral: Don't let a greedy Beverly Hillbilly convince you to break the law or lower your morals for the sake of making a sale or preventing a red dot ... otherwise you may find yourself in a jumper sharing a cell with them.

A few pictures of our vacation at Disney and Busch Gardens

Here are some pictures from the Disney Parks, Dowtown Disney, and Busch Gardens. We haven't finished loading them all yet, as we take pictures of everything.

We stayed at the Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort. I would recommend you check it out if you are visiting the Orlando area, it is adjacent to Epcot, and offers shuttle service to Disney parks and Downtown Disney; and is absolutely gorgeous.

Have a Blessed Day!

Celebrating Our Country All Year Long

Happy Fourth of July! To me this is a time of Honoring those that have sacrificed and continue to do so .... a time of remembering what Our Country was founded on ....

As an Army Brat, I was raised with Red, White, Blue, and Green, all year long! We didn't put our flags out for special occasions, or shop to buy those special Red, White, and Blue crafts for those times either. It was a way of life.

It is something that as an Army Spouse, I still do today. Everyday, I Celebrate My Country! And my house is Red, White, Blue, Colonial, and Primitive! I think the Colonial and Primitive, are an obvious compliment to Americana decor, as they share the same love of Family, God, and Country. They shared respect, dedication, hard work, and honesty that it took to survive.

We have lost a lot of that in Our Country. Hard work and honesty is a forgotten virtue too many times. It is something we must teach our children, so they can teach theirs.

We must not forget the sacrifice our forefathers made for us, and that Our Troops continue to make so we may remain a Free Country!

Have a Safe a Blessed 4th of July!

Tina

Old Glory Soldiers Corn Whisk Brooms and Osnaburg Labels

Goode Huswife Corn Whisk Broom $ 10.95 plus travel fare

Liberty Corn Whisk Broom $ 10.95 plus travel fare

Here are some updated pictures of the brooms that I featured for sale over the fall and Christmas season; and a sampling of the labels that I enjoy designing. These are all my original designs and protected by US Copyright. Please do not take these designs to sell, share, give, claim as your own, etc. I love to share my work, but hate for others to take it for their own, it is very intrusive and plain rude.

Fresh Linen Water osnaburg label, available on our linen water sprays or separately

I enjoy making labels in more than one medium using my own recipes, and only the best quality materials; as with all of my wares. I have seen many try to duplicate items and take shortcuts, but with shortcuts, you just come up short. This is my business ... I research, and work in my shop everyday to bring you the best product.

Liberty Bell Betty Lamps osnaburg Candle Sleeve or osnaburg label, price depending on size

I have enjoyed designing labels over the years for my customers for their labeling needs in my air fresheners; hanging and bottles, soaps, cupboard prints and tags, and other needfuls. We have even been asked to feature our items on a national level. We are always proud to offer great quality and products; for our repeat and new retail and wholesale customers ... and we always love meeting new friends!

Thanks for looking and Have a Blessed Day!

They are finished with wire hangers; or can have sawtooth hangers if preferred. These are always popular as Patriotic gifts and home decor must haves; and are Proudly displayed in military and civilian homes nationwide and overseas. These are sealed to be Proudly displayed indoors or outdoors.

World War II Honor Flight to Washington DC

"We can't all be Heroes. Some of us have to stand on the curb and clap as they go by."

-Will Rogers

http://www.wiregrasshonorflight.org/index.htm

Please "Clap" tomorrow as these World War II Veterans go by! Veterans and Guardians from around the country will fly into Washington DC, Saturday, May 9, on Honor Flights to visit the WWII Memorial and Arlington Cemetary.

Many of these Veterans have never seen the memorial, and without these Honor Flights they will never know how much their sacrifice has been appreciated!

I know I will stand Proud with tears in my eyes, as I clap proudly when I greet these Proud Veterans in Dothan. I will remember my Uncles, here and gone, that they will represent with the greatest pride as they stand with their fellow Heroes.

Bless You For Supporting Our Troops!
