Let's Do This...if I can only figure out how!!!!




Okay, so this is my first post! Great, now what do I say????

Well......I just got a new toy that I am so excited about, if I can only figure out how to post pictures. I have a digital camera, but again, how do I post the picture????

Anyway, my new toy is a small steam press! I was constantly whining (I do that alot since no one is around to hear me anyway) about having to iron my fabric before beginning the process of making the Buggy Buddies, so I went on Ebay and bid on this press. Do you know those people on there wait until the last minute to up their bids? Here I am thinking I am going to get this thing for $30. Wrong! In the end another person and I were outbidding and it became a all out war. Not only that, but bidding can become addictive! Anyway, I won! So now if I can just figure how to post the picture. Hey.... I DID IT! Just lucky.

These fabrics are named "Dumb Dots". I really don't know why, they look pretty "Smart" to me. So far, the only fabric that I have teamed with these fabrics is the Expresso.

Blog Candy Giveaway!



I don't believe it!!


I purchased some University of Texas fabric from my distributor and have been waiting forever for it! Well..... I finally got it and now I can't use it! Why you ask???? Because it is a licensed product and you can only use it for personal use, not resale.

But I can GIVE it away! So, I have decided that I will give away a Buggy Buddie made from this fabric for blog candy in the month of February. The contrasting color will be black.
I need some help. Even though I have been the owner of Nana's Buggy Buddies for almost 5 years, I am new to the blogging and internet world and would like some advise.
To be entered into the drawing for a FREE shopping cart cover I will need you to help me out. Post a comment to this thread offering some advice! (Here are some suggested questions to get your thoughts moving!)
  • How can I make my blog more effective?
  • How can I make it a little more "fancy"?
  • Do you like the product(s) I offer?
  • How would you like to see this product improved upon?
  • Is there another item you'd like for me to look into offering?
  • Do you know of any trade shows or markets that I can offer my product?
  • Should I stick with blogger or do you know of a better way to go?
Any and all advise is helpful! Leave me a comment and I will use random.org to draw a winner on March 1, 2008.
Also, if you post a link to this blog candy on your blog, I'll give you an extra entry!

Thank you for playing and good luck everyone!
**Please note: This offer is not limited to the United States. However, if any of you win from outside the United States, I ask that you please pay shipping on your Buggy Buddie. Thank you.**

Snow??????


My household woke up to an unexpected visitor in the night. Mother Nature dropped approximately 2" of snow on our little valley. I just loved it! Everything looked to clean and new, just as God intended! Now I know some of you will laugh at me, but we don't get snow here very often so it is definitely something to see.

The car belonged to my father-in-law, who bought it new in 1967. Still runs and is in fair condition. This is going to be my husband's hobby when he retires, only he doesn't know it yet. I have told him he can't retire until he has a hobby.

Hope you have a blessed day!
