Primitive designs, dogs, Christmas, geese, polar bears, sheep and autumn leaves are handmade including greeting cards and photography along with engaging stories of life at The Pond House. We are back and hope you like our new look. I have been so inspired by the many blogs out there that are so beautiful and the few I follow have been my inspiration. I hope you like our changes and we are still refining along the way. The photograph is the pond in our back yard in full tiger lilly season!

It's a Wonderful Life: I've been junking again!
http://jo-anne-thecarterclan.blogspot.com/2011/10/ive-been-junking-again.html
It's a Wonderful Life. Wednesday, October 12, 2011. I've been junking again! I happened upon a free listing one morning that I just had to be the first to get! One of the items up for grabs was this cute little deacons bench. Truth be told, I didn't even notice the bench in the picture on the add. It was all the other stuff that I was interested in. (I will show that later! It wasn't until we got to the house to pick it all up that I spotted it! It was also super dirty. So I cleaned it up and went to work.

It's a Wonderful Life: Halloween fun.
http://jo-anne-thecarterclan.blogspot.com/2011/10/halloween-fun.html
It's a Wonderful Life. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. I love Halloween, but since moving to Arizona, I have a hard time dragging out all of my things. It's because the temperature is still pushing 100* and it feels like summer, not fall. But, they're finally out and I got a little excited. ;). I remembered that I sold a lot of my decorations at a yard sale this past spring so a bit of crafting was in order to fill in some empty spaces. And, yes.I saw a version of this on Pinterest. But he can't come inside.

It's a Wonderful Life: Before and After
http://jo-anne-thecarterclan.blogspot.com/2012/02/before-and-after.html
It's a Wonderful Life. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. I got this sweet cupboard from Craigslist for free. It was a mess! The veneer was peeling off and it was missing the back. But it was just so quaint and cute. I knew it would be perfect for a makeover. I scraped of the peeling veneer, sanded the holy junk out of it, added a back piece. And painted it a lovely purple. I sanded the edges and wiped stain over it. Then, finally added some glass knobs. She's a little beauty. She lives in Ragan's room. Februa...

It's a Wonderful Life. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. So much to be thankful for. It really has been a month since my last post. I didn't think it was that long,. But hopefully these next photos will help everyone forget all about my generally incompetent blogging. I am pleased to announce the arrival of our sweet grandson,. He graced the world with his presence in the early morning of September 22nd. He was (and still is) the epitome of perfection. He is such a good baby. Here he is today. I am blessed with.

It's a Wonderful Life: The importance of resolutions.
http://jo-anne-thecarterclan.blogspot.com/2012/03/importance-of-resolutions.html
It's a Wonderful Life. Thursday, March 15, 2012. The importance of resolutions. Back in January, I made some very serious resolutions for the new year. I posted them on my facebook page in an effort to document them and to make myself accountable to those that read my posts. Again, I share. 1 marry off one or both of our remaining unmarried children. (Any takers? Just message me.). 2 acquire another one (or two) grandchildren. (I'm ju . St SO good at it.). 7 bring sexy back. I am doing a fine job on #4.

It's a Wonderful Life. Tuesday, October 18, 2011. Lately, I have been loitering on the Pinterest sight far longer than necessary. I'm sure some might say it's unnatural and unhealthy for someone to sit and. Admire all the pretty things on there, but I think I will take my chances with it all! Wellon Pinterest, I learned a valuable skill. And that skill is.cake plate making! All you need to make your own cake plate is;. 1 some sort of pedestal. 3 Spray paint, if desired. 4 some special glue. If you opt to...
