Fall is here













October 7, 2019
  We have had a good summer, but I wasn't ready to say good bye just yet. Oh well, you can't stop time. My hubby and son built a small deck on the front of our house this summer and my in-laws gave us their old but comfy swing which was awesome for having morning and evening coffee, until Mother Nature threw the switch from warm and bright to damp and chilly.  Since then, I have been starting days with coffee in my craft room. It is a much better habit than sitting in front of the laptop on my end of the Lazyboy couch for hours which also adds to my winter insulation, that I do not need!

I started walking again a few weeks after our little vacay in New Orleans. My hubby had a conference there for 4 days at the end of August so I went along and we stayed a few extra days. There were a 3 men and 2 women who also came down from the company he works for. We had free time from mid afternoon and hung out together exploring Bourbon, Canal and other streets. Food was amazing and the Hurricanes were  huge! We had a great time.

Because of my habit of coffee in my craft room, I have been doing quite a few crafts per week. Mainly cards, tags, ATC's and Rolodex cards with a few challenges and Skype crafting thrown in. Today I made a Jack Skellington wreath, quite different than the usual wreaths we see in décor. I have been "percolating" on what to do for décor with Nightmare Before Christmas for a few years and have only done some acrylic painting to use as a tote bag, but haven't made the bag yet! Hopefully in a week or two!
