An Autumn Friends Award From Gloria

My sweet blogging friend, Gloria aka happytobe, awarded me with the Autumn Friends Award. This is so cute!

Now for the rules:
I need to list 5 things I've always wanted to do, then contact 3 bloggin’ buds, and pass the award along to them. Only I'm going to skip the part about passing it along to 3 buds and let anyone who wants to play along, play! That means, TAG – YOU'RE IT! Please let me know you’re playing so I can read your post! :0}

I loved Gloria's answers to the 5 questions, and you can read them by clicking on her link, http://wwwhappytobe.blogspot.com/

1. Have a white Christmas at home, which isn’t very likely because it doesn’t snow here.

2. Move to a single story house with LOTS of STORAGE! I’m so tired of carrying laundry up & down the stairs, and I still have a bunch more to do.

3. Finish all the remodeling projects in our house! Hmmm, that means lots of painting, sheetrock, taping, texturing and on and on and on...

4. Start the cabinet and furniture refinishing projects that I keep saying I’m going to do but haven’t started any of it yet because I don’t want brush strokes. Yeah, I’m anal & I admit it…

5. Get a boob job to pick the girls back up & put them back where they belong! (Maybe I should have said a breast reduction & relocation!)

So what 5 things have you always wanted to do?!?

Enjoy!

I've finally been bitten by the Halloween decorating bug!

My daughter-in-law & I went to Joann's Fabrics & were bitten by the Halloween decorating bug! We loaded up in the store, then rushed home to find places for our treasures. Well, it was mostly finding new treasures for my darling DIL since I have quite a few containers full of treasures, but it was fun non the less. It did inspire me to finally open up the containers & pull out this years decorating winners. (I really need to downsize my decorations but that's another blog! I sent a couple of armfuls of treasures home with my DIL.)

I mixed scarecrows with Halloween witches & ghosts this year. That way I just have to replace witches & ghosts with turkeys for Thanksgiving. They're whimsical & they make me smile, I hope they do you as well.

My favorite soft sculpture witch dolls...

Bailey & Chief tired of giving directions. (Murphy was exhausted by the whole process & didn't understand why we needed to go up & down the stairs so many times carrying all this silly stuff. )

Bailey & Chief were still giving instructions from the landing.

Hope you enjoyed the tour. Now if we could just make a decision on a paint color, then the new drapes could be hung & I'd be a really happer camper!

Have a great day!
