Glamping Fever!

Oh I have a terrible case of the "I wanna go Glamping Blues!"
Then I find this at Hobby Lobby today,,, so what am I to do?
Why go Glamping of course,,,even if it is just day dreaming....
This was the last one on the shelf & best of all, it was 50% off! Yep, only $9.99
This is sooooo me don't ya think? Happy Trails to you.....

Thank you Cori....

Are these CuTe or what!!!???!!! Cori found & bought these for me while she was out junktiquing one afternoon... I Luv 'em.... I can hardly wait to put these little Salt & Pepper shakers in my trailer! Happy Trails to you Cori and Thank you again!....

I'm License to Craft!

I came across this idea via one of my fellowette Sisters on the Fly, gal~pals, Tammy #120... What a great idea for a 'scrapbook' or 'photo book'. You need 2 license plates, 2 snap rings, card stock, scrapbook paper, glue & embellishments.... I used 2 garish earrings to glue on the outside of the cover. Why? Just because I can! lol!
Just trace around the frame, cut out your card stock & scrapbook paper, line up the frame holes with the pages, hole punch...deco the paper or leave plain.... then attach the whole thing with the snap rings.

By the way,,, I had a dickens of a time finding these.. but I did find them at a local Ace Hardware. I would have thought the key making section of the 'big box' hardware stores would have them,,, Nope! not ours,, nor did Walmart or Joanns Fabric,,, I will check out Michaels Crafts, next time I am in town.....

As you can see, I need 1 more snap ring to finish this frame....

This is the back side of the frame but you could make it a reversible frame if you choose. This frame will go in my Serro Scotty aka 'Gnome Home'...

Happy trails to you....

Trailer Park Wars....

Ok, so last year while at Elk Idaho, glamping with my Trailer loving Gal~pals.... I spotted this game at the little community General store... soooo cute but i resisted buying it.

I having been thinking about it all year and finally broke down and ordered it off of Amazon.com... well it arrived today! Yipppeeeeeeeeee!

I can hardly wait to open & play it with my hubby~poo....

It's going to be fun to bring on my camping trips don't you think?

My New Tow Vehicle!

Talk about Going Green! Could this be my new source of 'Horse Power' to tow my trailers?

Introducing, Duster, my Beautiful Quarter Horse Mare and the newest addition to our family.
OK, just kidding about the 'towing' part... but she is my new source of 'cruising' around with...lol!
Duster will come home to live with me in May... right now she is at "Horsey Finishing School for Young Ladies"... (translates too: Living with the trainer & updating her skills & manners!) lol!
Her trainer is an awesome friend and lady. Patty B... and she is a well known horse trainer as well as a frequent contributing writer for Horse & Rider magazine. Patty also assists in helping with staging the horses to be photographed for articles... not an easy task. Patty is one smart lady when it comes to horses. And I am so lucky to call her my friend, Glamping Buddy & Auntie to my girl, Duster!
Happy Trails to you.....

Petticoat Trend Setting....

Juli & Gepetto at Sisters on the Fly & Farm Chicks.. 2011

Jennel & her kids... even her 'little girl' wears a tutu.

Me, I think this is a Stunning outfit... don't you? lol!

Making a come back,,, Petticoats,,,,, finally!

We 'Sisters on the Fly' gals have know all along that the perfect Cowgirl ensemble is a cowgirl hat, boots, pearls & petticoat....

My Gal~Pal, Juli was at the Denver Western Wear show this past week and she noticed a lot of the vendors incorporated Petticoats/tutus in their displays... So now it's Cowgirl hats, boots, pearls & petticoats! Wahooo...finally some one is getting it!

And don't get me started on Western Boots! if it were up to me, every Vintage Trailer Glamping Diva would have at least 3 pair.... preferably more! lol! Happy Trails!

Is it Summer Yet?

Oh how I miss Summer, Glamping and my trailer....
This was a weekend up at Girl Camp over in Elk Idaho.... I'll be there again this Summer with my gal pals....and their trailers. We are all so lucky to have hubbies who don't mind our sneaking away for a few days of Glamping, Junktiquing and Giggling over a campfire.
So,,, is it Summer Yet?

Ranch Girl Blog...

Oh Good Golly! Is this CuTe or what!
I was reading Shery Jespersen's blog this morning and spotted this...
She is, as of recently, the proud new owner of a vintage trailer... and like so many before her (me included) is now addicted to cutesiefying it up!
If you have not visited her blog, oh you need too! Shery is such an inspiration... Her writings (musings) make you feel like you are sitting with her at her kitchen table, a mug of fresh brewed java, sharing crafting ideas and laughing over the funny things that happen on the Ranch!
We'll, what are you waiting for? go over to her blog and get acquainted!

Happy readings & Happy Trails!

T-shirt Pillows...

Sometime back, a dear friend asked me to re-purpose 5 of her Western Bling T-shirts into pillows. I had fun and was even the recipient of one of the newly re purposed Blingy T-shirts.
I recently found this wild looking T-shirt at a local Thrift & could not resist bringing it home to make another pillow for my Aljo. I found a piece of wood bead fringe left from another project and added it to the bottom of this pillow. Who doesn't like a Western pillow with Bling!
And now the search starts again... for more T-shirts to repurpose...

3 More Trailer Projects Completed.

I put the final touches on my Milking Stool....3 coats of polyurethane, and some rhinestone Bling!

This little shelf is for my Aljo,,, just waiting to be adorned with sweet little trinkets & little perfume bottles.

I found this little Scotty Dog hoop at the Thrift for 99cents... it had cheesy shiny plaid ribbon trim around it so I removed the plaid ribbon, added some YoYos and a little Ladybug... This will hang out on my Scotty trailer....
Now to find some more projects to finish....

Luv this Product!

They say, every now and then, even a blind squirrel finds a nut! lol! Well I just found this product at Trader Joe's yesterday while shopping! SO am I the blind squirrel or the nut! lol!
Anyways,,,,, this is perfect for taking along on Glamping trips or Back Packing trips...

I actually made a cup of this tonight as a test run and you know what? it's not bad for instant coffee. Not quit as good as fresh brewed but I certainly don't mind and talk about convenient... It's a little packet of freeze dried coffee, sugar & powdered creamer, all in one. Just add hot water...

I will be keeping this in my trailer so on days when I don't feel like making a pot of coffee I can just use these....and I think I might even put a couple of these in my saddle pack when I go on my much waited for Lewis & Clark horse~pack trail ride in Sept.
So glad I found these.

Happy Trails Too You...

What do you get when you combine a Thrift Store $1.99 milking stool, a piece of remnant fabric, some down loaded pictures of Roy & Dale, a jar of ModPodge and a sunny afternoon?

Why you get a cute little trailer stool for Glamping trips!

Now all I need to do is seal it with 2-3 coats of Polyurethane and then bling it out with some rhinestones. Happy Trails to you.....
