HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween to all! I thought I would post pix of a few of my favorite witches today. Have fun!

Wizard of Oz Swap

Here is a picture of the goodies I sent to my Wizard of Oz swap partner, a handmade bag made out of Wizard of Oz theme fabric, a handmade wand, and an assortment of not handmade items, halloween candy, stickers, plates, Wicked Witch bookmark, pot scrubber. It was a lot of fun!

Nasty people, Wizard of Oz party, etc.!

So, this is pretty much how I looked yesterday! I opened my bank statement Tuesday night after class and found 8 fraudulent debits from my account, for a total of $500! I spent half of yesterday trying to get the mess straightened out. I don't know how these people live with themselves. So, cancel VISA/debit card, fill out about 20 forms, sign, sign, sign forms! Not to mention the inconvenience of not having the VISA/debit card until the new one arrives in 10-14 days! No Etsy or other online shopping. I may go into withdrawal!

Other than that, I am getting treatments for my neck, 6-8 weeks minimum, have had 1 so far. I hope and pray this helps. Trying to finish up swaps. I apologize from the bottom of my heart to my poor swap partners. I am not always this slow!

I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful fall season. I will be posting pix from the annual Wizard of Oz party that my youngest bro, his wife and 6 daughters, 1 son have for my birthday every year. It was last Friday, and was just a blast! Happy Halloween!

Ouch

This will be short...I have managed to tweak my neck/back. This happens 2-3 times a year, mostly due to too much time at the pampootah (niece's word for computer). But I have really outdone myself this time and I am miserable. I am behind on everything, so my apologies to swap partners. Your goodies will be on their way SOON! So visits to chiropractor, massage therapist, and trying a new technique (Bowen technique) Friday. Wish me luck. It has been nearly 2 weeks now and no end in sight!

Halloween Bracelet

I wanted to post a picture of this Halloween bracelet we made last year (hubby is in charge of "danglies") with lampwork beads, Swarovski crystal, and sterling silver. Lampwork beads by Lezlie Belanger of Canterbury Keepsakes, see her on Etsy.

Family Reunion

Good morning! I am still trying to get the hang of this. I cannot figure out how to get this picture bigger, or how to get pix in with my posts instead of above them all or below them all! But, here is a picture from our annual Graves family reunion. My dad, youngest bro Tracy, his wife Kelsie, and their 7 children, my hubby Kevin, and me. If I haven't mentioned it, I am auntie to 23 nieces and nephews. Having no children of my own, I am the auntie who gets to spoil them all. Trac and Kels have Sydnee, Trestyn, Jaysi, Kia, Teyah, Hallie and in June Trey (aka Huck) joined the family. That is going to be one spoiled little boy! Happy Saturday to all! Tan P.S. thank you to Sharon at My Vintage Studio for tips on posting the picture!

September

Good morning! Summer seems to be definitely on its way out around here. We had frost on September first. I am not quite ready for that! I actually got a couple of quilt pictures posted today. Yahoo!
