I love this necklace from Premier Designs! A very good friend of mine gave me this gorgeous necklace as a gift! Every time I wear it, I will think of Stephanie!
 

I absolutely love layering necklaces! It adds so much color and texture.
 

i love my bling

Layering necklaces is my favorite! When I layer neckalces, I use two or three necklaces...a long necklace with one or two shorter necklaces. I choose a focal point, then coordinate necklaces. It really makes an outfit pop! 

I love my cow chick bling!

my purple lemon designs stamp

I love Purple Lemon Designs! A stamp from Purple Lemon Designs is sitting in my desk drawer among my pretty paper and paperclips.

 

 

Add a personal touch to a note to a friend. A stamp dresses up an envelop.

For photography orders, I use my stamp for packaging. It adds a cozy, rustic touch.   

A stamp from Purple Lemon Designs is a fun little gift!

a bale sits in the field

Cornstalks have been baled. After fields of corn are harvested, we have cornstalks baled. Throughout the winter, we use the bales. Cornstalks are used as bedding for calves in the feed lot, and cow herds. The cornstalks keep the calves and cows warm and dry.

love me some carhartt

I love Carhartt. LOVE it! It is my addiction. As a farm chick, I have a closet full of Carhartt...bibs, hats, jackets, sweatshirts, and vests. Carhartt is a must working on a cattle farm.  

 

 My favorite is my plum Carharrt jacket and coordinating stocking cap!

corn is ready for harvest

During a pleasant fall day of harvest, I snapped a few photos in the field. Corn was ready to be harvested as the combine rolled through the field. Husks revealed golden kernels of corn.
