The Perfect pumpkin

THE PERFERT FALL DAY 


 It started with a visit to a beautiful church filled with pumpkins for sale, two cute grandkids and a crisp fall air.  We had to examine every pumpkin in the yard.  The kids wondered if they were for riding!


The boys had so much fun running through the yard touching every pumpkin to make sure they got the one they wanted.


 I put my picks from the pumpkin patch on my front porch with a beautiful crafted pumpkin I won.

It's this pumpkin by Popple River Primitives just perfect

Sailing Away

I was driving down the road on a beautiful sunny but cool day and saw this lovely scene.  I pulled over, grabbed my camera and headed over.
t
 These beautiful boats reminded me of lifes journey.  Some days you are floating alone in your thoughts, memories flashing in and out.
 You wonder did I touch enough lives, am I doing what I need to do to make a differance, oh how I miss the loved ones that have passed on.



And then, out of no where someone sails in to give you a lift, a sweet word or smile.
Someone to be beside you, guide you and love you


And suddenly you race along and your world is full of joy and wonder...yes you do make a difference!

FALL IS IN THE AIR


FALL IS IN THE AIR AND IT'S SWAPPING TIME!


 This was my first time swapping at Amy's Bumblebeelane Cottage and my partner, Becky, was awesome!
everything was wrapped in beautiful clear bags

I can't tell you how much I loved this bag of potporri, be still my heart...little pumpkins, clothes pins and bobbins!

Becky @ Ginger Creme Hollow does such beautiful work

A black cat of course!

A sweet pin cushion, does she have my number!  lace, jewlry ...wow

She even made leaves!  Everything looks so beautiful in my new ironstone bowl

She even included some leaves for me to scatter

Everything rounded out my sweet fall collection...thank you Becky.  You are one talented lady.  I will share what I created next here is a peak...Di

Best of DIY

Best of DIY Link Party - Link up your best
I am joining the fun group of the Best OF DIY.  You will want to go over and see some fun projects.  I will be pinning alot today!!  So, here are some of my favorites from my house (or I should say no old house).  I can't wait for our new house...hoping for Christmas time.

First, my apple ladder, it set off my fireplace and compliments my apple picker picture.



My next project was our guest room, what a project, I'm still tired.  But it was so worth it.  I am hoping to recreate it in my new house!



This project made the biggest differance in our living room.  I love Anne Sloan chalk paint and it turned out so beautiful on our fireplace.  I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
