Trail Cam Friday September 12, 2025
Look at me! Two weeks in a row for Trail Cam Friday. In case you missed week one…. you can check it out here. You KNOW that the first snow this WOSPORTS digital trail camera is going ON THE HOUSE! I am NOT hiking down the mountain in the snow. Nope. Nope. I moved the camera further down the tree trunk (AGAIN!!) I did leave the camera in the spot it has been in. I am still debating a different location, I just haven’t decided where. (Too many choices!) Okay shot number 3 made me twist my head, zoom in, twist my head THE OTHER way. What the heck is happening here? Thankfully, the very next shot was a video. Yes, this did make me laugh. Ya know what would help me? If these visitors were to wear numbers. Or hats, OR something that would help me tell them apart!?!?! I have no idea if these are the same 6…

September 2025 $50 YOUR Way Giveaway
August was a busy month for me. Started physical therapy for my hands to my shoulders. How many times to I yell “Aging is NOT FOR SISSIES?!” Well, I’m yelling it again. My craftroom is as busy as ever. Between the laser and the wild hair I had to create a ummm ghost? Creature? Witch? I dunno exactly what it is. I just know that when I created Francis. (My Mom and my Grandpa’s middle names) I have loved the looks that Francis gets and the fact that Francis held up so well I wanted a TALL version. SO, Lucille (my Grandma’s middle name) was born. (Technically, she isn’t done yet) So if you follow me on Instagram you will see her develop. I’m stumped right now. Not a fan of the red color. I also received a new Trail Camera from WOSPORTS and it’s AAWESOMEEEEEEE!! It also means more hikes to switch out the SD cards and see who…

Little Peanuts Focus Group
π π€£π I mean HELLO! I have some very opinionated Peanuts here so WHO BETTER to ask!?!?! Right?!?! Right!! All I ask is don’t be mean. I get my feelings hurt easily. Most of you know I make crafts during the year to sell at the Christmas Craft Fair here in Sandpoint, Idaho. I try and make things that I hope will sell, but every year it’s different. What sold the 1st year (t-shirts) sold out. The next year I made extra and sold none. As I get ready to make things I want to ask opinions. Design good? Design needs work. Is this something you think would sell? My friend Penny asked if I could make a Bunco themed coaster. I started to think maybe ornaments too? I’ve never played Bunco, so I need opinions and/or ideas. Y’all think coasters and ornaments would sell? Here are a couple of AI generated ideas for coasters (maybe ornaments) What other elements would…

Hello Peanuts, who’s ready to Win $50??!! Who else is ready for spring!? I’m absolutely ready to say goodbye to the snow. Mostly I am ready to say goodbye to the season of the mud. Seriously, the road is so bad my 4 wheel drive car can’t drive through it. Now, I love my mountain life, donβt get me wrong. I may not want to go anywhere but knowing I CAN’T, that makes me nuts. (I know, spoiled!) Besides the mud we have flowers starting to pop up. My tomato, blueberries and house plants are going NUTS!! I’m so HAPPY!! My only other ‘not boring’ news was the freak windstorm we had a couple days ago. Talk about some strong window rattling wind! It was NUTS!! I caught video’s with my a new Trail Cam from Ecovox! It takes some amazing pictures but I had a wild hair and thought I would see how it did with video. Now mind…

Finally, Trail Cam Friday AGAIN!!
It’s been a long time since I have posted my Trail Cam Friday. But, 2 of the cameras have fresh batteries and are ready to go.Looks like this year we’ve got lots of boys!! Spring I’m hoping they drop those sheds so I CAN find them. I’m calling dibs. RIGHT NOW. Set Up A Trail Cam EVERYWHERE! Aren’t these boys pretty?!?! When To Hunt For Sheds? Bucks shed their antlers annually in late winter, usually from January through March, but the exact timing can vary depending on a number of factors: Photoperiod As days get longer after the winter solstice, testosterone levels decrease, which causes the connection tissue in the antlers to weaken and fall off Rutting season During mating season, high testosterone levels cause the velvet covering the antlers to die off, which bucks can remove by rubbing against trees Age and health Mature bucks in good condition usually shed their antlers by the end of February, while younger bucks…
