Happenings Here At Adorable Country Classics

Hello everyone! Wow what a month it has been! I don't know about you, but I've been so busy, and where did the time go?  My last post was about participating in a large craft show in Silverdale, WA. Well  I didn't sell out, but did well. The show was amazing and alot of fun! There were so many very crafty people there with unbelievable, fantastic products. I saw lots of stuff I wanted. Then we went right into Thanksgiving! We had Thanksgiving here at our home. It was nice to take some time off and visit with family members. After Thanksgiving I started painting orders for customers for Christmas gifts. Today I'm finishing up my last painted project for the year. I will post about the new product at a later time with photos. In the upcoming new year I'm going to have an announcement to make. If your into primitives, your going to love what I'm going to announce! I'm very excited about this new venture, and can't wait to tell you all about it! I hope all is well with you my friends! I've been reading your posts and see that you all have been very busy and creative! I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed holiday season!

I'm Ready For My First Large Craft Show!!! - Holiday Gift & Food Fair

Hi all! I know I haven't posted in a while, I can't even begin to tell you how busy I've been!! I've been painting day and night literally for the last two months, so I can participate in the Holiday Gift & Food Fair.  http://www.holidaygiftfair.com/   Located in Silverdale, WA at the Kitsap Sun Pavillion this Fri, Sat, and Sunday.  The link provides directions to the show. This show has 170 vendors participating, and only handmade items are allowed into the show. This is a juried show. I'm very excited and nervous to attend this show. Excited because this is the largest show I've ever attended. The last two shows I participated were very small and just wasn't the right fit for what I offer. The couple that puts this show on makes it all look very nice and professional looking. Why am I nervous? hmmmmm I'm not sure about that. I think it's more anxiety than it is nervousness. Here's a photo of a past show, so you can get an idea of what it looks like there.  Doesn't this look like lots of fun?  I checked it out last year went and took the day to see what people were selling/making, how they set it up and so forth, and I love it, that's why I made the decision to attend.

I will post pics of my booth here next week.
 If you live on the west coast stop on by and take a peak, you won't be disappointed! All of the items at this show make great Christmas gifts! And, it helps small business, helps our economy by buying local!!! So stop on by and see us, introduce yourself, I'd love the meet you! ~Jody~

Primitive Santa Butter Churn Cookie Jar ~ Terrye French

I have finished another new painting! This new ceramic butter churn was made by me. I've painted it buttermilk over black with some areas that have been sanded to give it that time worn look. I've painted a prim Santa on the front, with a black crow that has red berries in his mouth. The lid has been painted with twiggy vines, leaves and berries. I've attached some red pip berries, a grubby tag that reads "Happy Holidays" with a rusty snowflake attached to it, and a tea dyed muslin homespun to the handle. Measures 11 inches tall x 21 inches in diameter. This piece looks very old. The outside has been sprayed with several coats of ceramic sealer. The inside is glazed and is lead free and food safe. Clean with a damp cloth on the outside, wet on the inside. The Santa is a Terrye French design. You can find it on my website here. Hand Painted By Me Primitive Decor. Or you can purchase it from here below. It's $38.95 + 12.99 Shipping.
I have three more Christmas paintings already in progress! So stay tuned to see more! Have a great week everyone!
Take Care,

Snowman Snow Globe ~ "Catch A Falling Snowflake Put It In Your Pocket" ~ Terrye French

This is my newest creation, that I finished today. I've painted a Terrye French snowman catching falling snowflakes and putting them in his pocket, on this wooden snow globe that we've designed. He has a rabbit below him, and a blue bird sitting on a handle of a shovel with a branch full of berries in his mouth. The wording reads "Catch A Falling Snowflake" "Put It In Your Pocket". The back of the snow globe is painted in the same manner as the front, but without the snowman. Over all dimensions are 10 3/4 inches tall x 7 inches in diameter. The rectangular base measures 6 1/4 inches long x 3 1/2 inches wide x 3 1/4 inches thick. The globe is attached to the base with a screw. He comes fully assembled. He's $38.95 + 12.99 Shipping.

You can find it on my site here. Hand Painted Primitive Decor
What I like about painting the most is taking a design and making my own little creation with it. I also love creating something that no one else has created.  I'm already working on another painting it's another Terrye French design.
I did some blog hopping last night, and visited a bunch of blogs to see what everyone has been up too. I must say everyone has been so busy creating all types of items for either craft shows, their stores, or to give as gifts for Christmas.You wouldn't believe all the wonderful items everyone is making.
I hope to see you soon with another new painting! Have a great week everyone!

Annabelle - Butterchurn Cookie Jar ~ Primitive~Terrye French~

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I posted last. Time sure does fly when your busy! This is my newest hand painted piece. I painted this design on a ceramic butter churn that I made myself. The design is by Terrye French. It was painted Slate Gray over dark chocolate, which looks more like light blue. I've sanded this piece to give it that time worn look. I've attached a tea dyed homespun to the handle, and painted a grubby tag with the words "Primitive Blessings". It's attached by rusty wire. This piece is glazed on the inside and is food safe. Annabelle is $38.95 +$12.99 shipping.

You can find it on my site here. Hand Painted Primitive Decor.
I've been so busy! It's a crazy time of year for us here. I'm attending a craft show in November and am working on painting lots of new items for the show. I will be adding them here and to the site as I finish them. I have another new painting which I hope will be finished tomorrow. Another Terrye French design, this one is for winter time.

We also redesigned the website to give it a much more stylish look, and to make it easier to find the products our customers are looking for. I love the new design, and we hope you like it too! And I also did the redesigning of our blog so it matches the website. So, now you can see why I've been so busy. I haven't been able to do any blog hopping in a long time, :( . I hope to do some this weekend so I can catch up with all my friends!

Hand Painted, Two Sided, Fireplace Screen

Hello Friends! Most of you have already seen this on Facebook, but when I posted it, I realized I left something off of it, and it wasn't assembled, so that's why I'm re posting it. Yesterday on my blog I promised to show you the painting that I've been working on in between hand painted orders off of my website. This is a custom order that I did for a sweet lady in Canada. Thank you Traci for having me paint this for you! I hope you enjoy displaying this in your home! Traci isn't going to use this as a Fireplace Screen. She is putting it under a sofa table to hide cords behind it. Clever lady! This took quite a while to design and paint mostly because of the colors that were used. I didn't have a pattern to use just a photo. The first side can be used everyday, and was based off a Kim Klassen design.

The second side will be used during the winter months, and was based off of a Lynn Andrews design.

I'm not going to be offering this Fireplace Screen on my website, due to the time it takes to complete it. If your really interested in having it, you can contact me.  Today I started painting a Sewing Basket lid. It should only take me a day or two to complete it. I will show you that when I get it done as well. I hope you all are having a wonderful day! ~Jody~

Our New Grand Baby - Madilynn Ann Suzuki

Hello Friends! I know I've been missing in action for a while, but I have a really good excuse, I promise! We have a new addition to our family! Madilynn Ann Suzuki was born on August 13th! She is a healthy adorable little girl. She came early, but we all are very happy she is here. I've been gone for a bit staying with my daughter, helping her around the house with the new baby and our other granddaughter Brailynn. My daughter had to have an emergency C section which was unexpected. But, everything went fine, both momma and baby are ok. We are so blessed, and are so happy that both my daughter and baby came out of the situation well! Naomie, you have the cutest, sweetest little girls! Cherish every moment with them! Time goes by so fast!  Here are some photos of Maddy, our newest grand baby.

Tomorrow I will have a new painted item for you to see! It's my biggest project so far! See ya tomorrow! ~Jody~

Website Restructure

Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing well, and staying busy! I know I am. I just wanted to pop in here and let you know that we have restructured our website to make browsing and shopping with us easier!  Instead of entering into a category like primitives or country, you can now select the decor your looking for on the left like Barn Stars or Rugs. All of my hand painted items are under (Hand Painted By Me). We want your shopping experience with us, to be a pleasurable one. We hope that you enjoy the changes we've made. We are open to any comments or suggestions you have.
We've added some new products as well. New Rugs in Applique Star in Burgundy & Tan
 or Black & Tan in Oval & Rectangle Shapes in various sizes.
We also added the Country Star Braided Rugs in Wine & Tan or Black & Tan. You can view all these rugs here Rugs & Doormats
And we've also added a couple new Bedding Collections-Vintage Star Wine & Tan or Black & Tan. You can view them here Vintage Star Bedding Collection.
I have a girlfriend that makes beautiful Baby Quilts. They are on my site with the Quilts. You have to see these, they are adorable! They are sewing machine stitched. Made with 100% premium pre-washed cotton fabrics. We have 7 available, all in different designs and colors. These make a great gift! Visit them here Quilts, Throws, & Pillows.
I hope you all are having a wonderful creative week! ~Jody~

My First Set of Fired Ceramics

Hello everyone, how are you all? I did some blog hopping the other night and many of you are creating some very wonderful items, and are very busy! Don't a just love crafting! It's so much fun! I know I promised a photo of my ceramics a couple days ago, and I forgot to post it. For those of you that didn't know, I fired my first set of ceramics last weekend, and I'm so excited that everything turned out great, and that I didn't blow up our house! lol I'm so looking forward to painting these and making more. Here's the photo of my new Bisque! It includes 3 Grease Pots, 2 Butter Churns, 1 Utensil Holder, 2 Salt & Pepper Sets, and 2 Spoon Rests.

Now on to more exciting news! I received a phone call this week from a lovely lady in Pennsylvania who had seen some of my work from a friend of hers, and she has asked me to make her a set of dishes (service for 6) and the design she would like me to paint on them is Birdhouses. She will be giving this set to a friend for Christmas. It was a big surprise, and I'm very excited, and can't wait to get busy making the ceramics, and painting them. But first I have to finish the custom orders in front of hers.
I'm going to be adding more products to our website this weekend. I hope you'll stop by for a visit. The weather here hasn't been too bad here (mid 70's- mid 80's), compared to whats going on back east. I feel for all of you that are having to put up with hot temperatures. I hope you have air conditioners!
Take Care ~Jody~

New Paintings Coming Soon!

I've been so busy painting custom orders and orders from my website that I haven't been able to create anything new in a very long time.  I'm not complaining by any means. As a matter of fact I appreciate the work, very much so. So inlight of that, I decided that I'm going to start painting on weekends for a while so I can produce some new paintings. (I have tons of ideas). I know many of you follow my blog just to see what new paintings I create. And, I know many of you have requested to see more Terrye French stuff, so that's what I worked on yesterday. I also have a three day show I'm attending in November, and I have to create stuff for that too so looks like weekend work for a while. Yesterday I finally fired my first set of greenware which included 2 Butter Churns, 2 Grease Pots, 2 Spoon Rests, 2 Salt & Pepper Shaker Sets, and 1 Utensil Holder. Everything turned out great! I will show a pic tomorrow! I hope you had a wonderful weekend how ever you spent it! ~Jody~

Getting Old Is For The Birds!

And eating all this fiber is too! For the last 6 years I've had troubles with my stomach. There are days when I was just plain miserable. Tired of all the problems I went to see a digestive Dr. he gave me a upper and lower GI, and a colonoscopy, and they found nothing. He prescribed 1 tall glass of prune juice every day. (YEAH)! Have you ever drank that stuff? Yuck! Well all that did was make it worse, it caused my tummy to swell so much I looked 9 months pregnant! It was also very painful. I also gained weight 44 Lbs to be exact from all the damn sugar in the prune juice!  I also was very tired. So because I didn't get any help from the GI Dr. I made a trip into my regular Dr. and she prescribed exercise and to change my diet. Tired of feeling like crap for the last 6 years I decided it was time to do what she requested. First I changed our diet. I liked sweets and very little fruit and veggies. We no longer eat any processed foods at all. I eat lots of fruit and veggies. I've cut down on the sweets I eat to a bare minimum. The dinners I cook are all the recipes in Bob Greenes "Best Life Diet" book. Nothing but healthy dishes, and they taste good too! I always thought eating healthy was expensive. It's not. If you quit buying all the goodies you can afford the fruit and veggies! I also started walking. Every morning I get up at 5am and walk 1 1/2 miles, and at a pretty steady pace with my dog groomer/friend Francis and 6 Westie pups! I've been walking every morning now for almost 2 months. I had my first weigh in on the 9th of July and I lost 7 Lbs! I'm pretty excited about that. I'm usually a small person about a size 7.  Now, I'm not a morning person at all! I hate mornings!!! My mornings; I get up and have a cup of coffee watch the news and have no one talk to me for at least an hour so I can wake up, otherwise I'm a grump! lol. So, the 5am thing was very hard for me to do at first. I had to make myself get up! It took alot to get me out of that bed so early! I also started doing some research on the internet for the problem I was having. I made a trip to GNC to try testing some different things that would make me feel better. Well I should of known better, to take anything pill form, would make the problem worse. So I quit the natural pills, did more research and decided to try one more thing, Flaxseed Oil and ground Flaxseed. I've been taking the Flaxseed Oil for about 3 weeks now, but noticed a difference in my stomach the first day I took it. I introduced the Flaxseed two weeks after the oil and in little amounts and am working my way up to the requested dosage. I'm finally starting to feel better, have alot more energy, and my stomach doesn't hurt anymore! Now, if I could stop the gray hair, and fix my memory that would be great!  Did you know when you get older it takes twice as long to look half as good? I just had to throw that in there!

My First Set of Ceramics & Tons of New Products!

I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Fourth of July! We really didn't do too much as my husband had to work, so I did too. I poured my first set of ceramics over the weekend. It was trial and error learning this. It took me three pours to get my first set of Salt & Pepper Shakers. After that everything else went very well for my first pour! My husband even got involved and poured something. He loves making things, it doesn't matter what kind of craft it is, he's in. You'd never know by looking at him that he loves crafts.  Here's a couple photos. The first photo is my husband pouring a Butter Churn. The next one is the greenware with a little cleanup done to them. There is still some fine tuning to be done to all the pieces, and then of course painting and glazing them. What we poured was set of Salt & Pepper Shakers, Butter Churn, Spoon Rest, 2 Grease Pots, and a Utensil Holder.

Over the weekend, I added alot of new product to the website. They include Berkshire Textiles, Braided Rugs, and Braided Baskets by Victorian Heart Co. The colors are beautiful as you can see in this Braided Basket Set. You can find the baskets here: http://www.adorablecountryclassics.com/victorian-heart-collection-vhc/braided-jute-baskets/berkshire/

I also added tons of new Bellacour Handbags by Victorian Heart Co. These handbags are beautiful, colorful handbags available in many styles. They've even made a hanging organizer & Hot Iron Case. Here's a photo of one of the new Handbags. You can find the new Bellacour Handbags here: http://www.adorablecountryclassics.com/victorian-heart-collection-vhc/bella-taylor-handbags-totes-book-covers/bellacour/

I also added some new fall and winter prints, as well as one country print. Here's a direct link to all the new products I added over the weekend. http://www.adorablecountryclassics.com/recently-added/
Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Happy Fourth of July Everyone!

My wish is that all of you have a wonderful Fourth of July! Please be safe, and enjoy the holiday.
I will be back tomorrow with a new post.

I fired my first Ceramic & New Products

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend what ever your activities were! Over the weekend, I did two things. First I added many new items to the website; Mason Jar Wax Warmers, Primitive Paper Towel Holder hand painted by me, and some other miscellaneous items. You can check them all out here. http://www.adorablecountryclassics.com/recently-added/
I also made a trip to a Ceramic shop to gather up supplies that I need to be able to make my own Ceramics. (I still need to purchase some molds). Sunday I was finally able to play with my Kiln for the first time, and it was so much fun! I fired my first Ceramic. I had an Oil Decanter that was already made and glazed on the inside (by someone else). While I was at the Ceramic shop I picked up a crackle glaze to play with, because most of my paintings are done in a crackle manner, and I wanted to see the outcome of this particular medium. This glaze is already pigmented as a Mocha and has the crackle medium already in it. All I had to do was brush it on my Oil Decanter, wait for it to dry and then fire it. Well the firing didn't go as planned because my Kiln doesn't have a temperature gauge and we didn't have any idea as to what the temperature was in there. We definitely need to purchase a Pyrometer. So basically it was just a test to see how things worked. Here's a couple of photos of my first piece. I just love how it looks. The second photo really shows the crackled surface.

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Take Care ~Jody~

Primitive Canisters - Personalized

3/6/2016 UPDATE!
I will be making my canisters again! Please follow the blog to find out when they'll be available!

Hello Friends! I know it's been a while since I posted, sorry about that, I've been busy painting orders. Today I wanted to show you another version of the  Primitive Canister Sets that I make. These are made of wood. These were made for a customer in Indiana, thank you Rachel! She purchased a set of three but did some designing of her own. She kept the primitive scene that I usually put on the front and ends, but changed up the wording to "Faith, Family, Friends". Other wording is available such as ("Live Well", "Laugh Often", "Live Simply"), ("Flour", "Sugar", "Coffee"), or any words of your choice could be added. On the ends she decided to have stars on the ends instead of the vines, leafs and red pip berries that I usually put on them.

 These are also available as a set of four. This is just a sample of what can be done with these. We have a customize by you box located at the bottom of most of our products, that gives you the opportunity to design these how you would like them painted for no extra charge. Just type in the box how you would like them painted when ordering, and I will contact you so we can discuss it. There is no job to big or to small, simply design them how you want them.

Here's two photos of the Primitive Ceramic Canisters I make. These Primitive Ceramic Canisters can be customized as well. They're available as a set of four as well. There are alot of different ways that both sets can be painted.  I have tons of ideas for these, I just haven't gotten to the new designs yet. So if your in the market for Primitive Canister Sets, stop by our website and check these out. Hand Painted By Me Everyday Decor.  I've had nothing but very nice compliments on all of them. You can also check out how we make each unique product for each individual customer at the Custom Ordering section of our website. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me either by email or phone.
I will be back this week with a new hand painted product.
Take Care,
~Jody~

Happy Memorial Day!

Thank you Vetrans for all you have done and are doing for our country! We appreciate your dedication!
Have a wonderful Memorial day everyone! ~Jody~

I purchased a Kiln!

last week. When I started painting Ceramics months ago, I never thought I'd be purchasing a Kiln of my own. I've been purchasing all the ceramics that I paint from a very nice lady in Oklahoma. She does beautiful work! I've been painting so many ceramics, that my husband and I decided it was time to purchase our own kiln. I started looking for a Kiln  a week ago, and I wasn't planning on finding one so soon, but I did. I purchased the Kiln from a lady in my hometown. She took very good care of it, it's in great condition, and it was a great deal! 
I've been spending my evenings on the Internet learning everything I can about this craft. It's been really interesting. I'm going to be making all the ceramics I've painted so far, with some additional products. The additional products will be functional products, products that you can use in your kitchen. I will be adding these new items when I'm not stacked up on painting orders. This week I worked on a set of Salt & Pepper Shakers, a new Primitive Paper Towel Holder (that will be added to my website really soon), and have started a set of Primitive Canisters, all for one customer. I've been really busy since April with tons of orders for my hand painted items.
Have a wonderful Memorial weekend! ~Jody~

Playing Catchup!

Hello my friends! How are you? I hope you all are safe and sound from the tornadoes, and flooding! I hope you all had a wonderful Mothers Day also! I know it's been a while since I posted, sorry about that it's been one hectic spring on the home front. I have lots to talk about today, have to play catch up! We've lived in our home for about 4 or 5 years without a pretty front yard. A couple of weekends ago we finally put one in. (I got tired of looking at it!) We had the grass but no flower beds or flowers at all. So we put one in and decorated the front of the house. I hated how it looked before it was so boring and awful looking. I LOVE how it looks now, but were not done yet!  I'll show you more of the front yard, once we get some more work done.

Mothers day weekend my husband and I put our upper kitchen cabinets up. We chose to buy them unfinished just like we did the lowers, so we could finish them ourselves. I haven't gotten to finishing the uppers yet, hopefully I can work on them this week. I've been wanting them done for a long, long time. The bottom cabinets have been in for about a year. When it came to getting the upper cabinets in there was always something holding us up. But, finally they are in, and no one is able to see my dishes or the food in my cupboards for the first time in years! :) And I am VERY excited about that!  I will show you some before and after once these are done. Next I think we're redoing our hardwood floors, and the whole house is hardwood. (That will be alot of work)! We will be sanding them down and staining them, then add the gloss. The color we chose is red mahogany. It's going to be beautiful. Right now the floors look awful! I can mop them, and they still look dirty. Yuck! Can't wait to get the floor done.
This last Saturday we spent the day with our grandson celebrating his 10th Birthday. We had so much fun with the grand kids. Momma went and purchased a trampoline for the kids. Have any of you played on one of those? They are a blast! I had never been on one until Saturday. I got on with our granddaughter Brailynn for her first time too, and we had so much fun. She instantly started jumping up and down like she knew exactly what to do, it was sooooooo cute. I took some pics of her jumping on it, and playing with Grandpa (my husband). Here's some photos. If you look closely you can see she has her fist doubled up and hunched over getting ready to make her first jump.

She's having fun! Look at that smile!

Grandpa pushing her in the Jeep.

Now for the business side of things. I have been very busy filling orders for my hand painted primitive decor. I never imagined that I would ever be this busy painting products for people to display in their home. Thank you everyone who has ordered from me, and for sending me lovely comments to my email! I am flattered! I've been painting Primitive Canisters, Bread Boxes, Utensil Holders, and Salt & Pepper Shakers.

Sunday I added some Baby Quilts in the country category. Stop by and take a peek, they're adorable! No I didn't make these, a friend of mine did. They ship from my place of business. I will be adding new products to the site soon! Tons of new stuff, so check back to see them!

Have a great week everyone! ~Jody~

Happy Mothers Day!

I hope you all have a wonderful Mothers day tomorrow all you mothers out there! Take a day for yourself and do something you love!
Not sure what I'll be doing tomorrow. Don't know if the kids are coming over or not. I know I will be adding some new products to the website in the morning, seens how I was suppose to do it today, and ran out of time!
Happy Mothers day!

New Painting Product

Happy Tuesday eveyone! Hope this finds you happy and well! Today I wanted to show you one completed side of the Fireplace Screen that I've been working on in between painting orders from my website. This Fireplace Screen is going to be two sided. One side has been painted with an everyday design based off of a Kim Klassen design. The other side is going to be painted with a winter scene. I don't have it hinged together yet, because I can only have one piece on my painting table at one time. So the hinges will go on after it's been completed. Here's the photo.

This week I'm extremely busy painting. I have three Breadboxes & a set of my Ceramic Primitive Kitchen Canisters to paint. I'm trying to get some Spring & Americana paintings done but, those won't be worked on until my orders are finished. Anyways you all have a great week! ~Jody~

Bella Taylor Handbags & Paintings

Hello everyone! Geeze it seems so long since I posted last. How's everyone doing? I know the gals at the Old Farmhouse Gathering group have been busy! I've been busy as well! I've finished one side of the mystery project I spoke about earlier. I'm waiting for it to dry, so I can take photos and post them here.  I'm also working on some really cute paintings, that I can't wait to show you! So check back in if your wanting to see these!
I've added some new Bella Taylor Handbags to my website last week. Some of the new designs for 2011 included Blue Tropic, Bejeweled, and Aqua Patch. I've also added some Americana Handbags too. Patriotic Patch, and America. We also carry Book Covers, Eye Glass Cases, Traveling Bags, Backpacks, and Makeup Pouches to match all the Handbags, so stop on over to our Bella Taylor Category to see the ones I've listed here, and more. http://www.adorablecountryclassics.com/victorian-heart-collection-vhc/bella-taylor-handbags-totes-book-covers/
I hope your all having a great week so far! Until next time,
Take Care!

Monthly Drawing Winner For March!!!

Every month we have a drawing that includes one of our lucky customers who's purchased products from our website. What do they win? A Gift Certificate in the amount of $20.00! to use in our store! Here's how it works. For every $20.00 you spend at our store your name will be entered into a monthly drawing. So, if you spend say $43.00 your name will be entered twice into the drawing for that month. You can keep the Gift Certificate for yourself, or give it to someone as a gift. The drawing is held on the first day of the month for the previous month. It will be posted by 11:00 am. The winner for the month of March is Nancy Ryan of Utah! Congratulations Nancy! Your Gift Certificate is on its way!
Have a great day everyone!

Sneek Peek Day

Hi everyone, how are you all doing? Are you busy making things?  Or did you just stop by for a visit?  I've been pretty busy lately working on a custom order, it's taken me a while to get this one done, but I'm making progress! Can you guess what it is by the photo? And, I want to share with you what I completed a couple of weeks ago. It's a Gingerbread Door Crown for a customer in Ellensurg, WA. I've also included another picture of our grandbaby Brailynn, she's so darn cute! 

Have a great day everyone! ~Jody~
