Primitive Screensaver

Looking for a primitive photo screensaver and can't find any? Here's what I do.



I do a google search for "primitive Christmas", "Christmas barn", etc. Whatever you want in your photos. Open the photos to full size and right click. Save them into a photo album titled "screensaver". Then set the album to be your screensaver. That's it!


I just saved some photos that prim friends on fb posted of their decorating. You're not selling them, or printing them, so it should be fine.


Have fun looking! And, the best part is that you can add or delete or change theme anytime you want.


Merry Christmas!

moving to PA!

After being on the market for a year, my house is finally under contract!  If all goes through as planned, we will be living in Lititz, PA before Christmas!

Closing date is set for Nov. 18th and as we all know, anything can happen.  I'm hoping it doesn't.  :)

I grew up in Delaware County, PA just east of Lancaster.  I moved to NC in 1999 from Dover, DE and now it's time to go back.  But, I wanted to move to a tourist area.  Lancaster County has the laid back lifestyle I love and it's also central to New York, Philadelphia, DC, Baltimore, etc.  Lots of cool day trips!

I decided in summer of 2010 to move to Lancaster County and started looking at small towns on the internet.  I fell in love with Lititz online and when I went there in June of 2010, it was a definite that that's where I wanted to live.   I went back in July 2011 and still love it.  It's got the small town feel, but it's still close to everything. 

Can't wait!

I've been kind of MIA on my blog for awhile.  I have been quite active on my facebook though.  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1416589460

Still waiting to move to Lititz in Lancaster County, PA.  My house has been for sale since October 2010.  I started out at $144,000 and last night I dropped the price to $124,900.  There's a bit of a rush now since I got my approval letter yesterday for a USDA mortgage in Lancaster County.  It expires after 30 days, then I can get only two 30 day extensions.  I've already had one certificate expire at Christmas, and it took this long to get through the process for another.  If I don't sell before this one expires, I'll have to sit and have a heart to heart with God.  ;-)  

My son and I are really excited about moving to PA.  There is little to no opportunity here for people that need to work and even less opportunity for my son that will be going to college for Graphic Design.  There are about 5 jobs listed for our entire county at the unemployment office.  We live in a small mountain town with less than 2,000 people.  The nearest mall or chain restaurant is 45 minutes away.  Walmart is 20 minutes away.  We are ready to move! 

On the other hand, if you're retired, it's a fantastic place to live.  Gorgeous mountains, the best people, super low crime rate, quaint shops downtown, etc.  Oh, I guess I should include that we live in Burnsville, NC.  45 minutes from Asheville, NC where the Biltmore House is located.  I've lived here almost 12 years and I've never been to the Biltmore House.  Not primitive enough for me.  I'd rather see Abe Lincoln's cabin.  :-)

That's all for now.  I'll try to keep ya'll updated a little better.  Please do check out my etsy shop for some great deals.  I had framed punch needle art priced at $38 and lowered them to $21.95!   Must clear those shelves in the shop to make room for new stuff.

Have yourself a blessed day and PLEASE pray for my house to sell!!!
