Watermelon Freeze

ay ay, matie! rain rain go away come back another day came back to visit Ellen Then, surprisingly, he wanted to try on his other costume...here to save the day:

 I am REALLY glad that I spent an entire day picking up leaves.     Right back to square one.   I am not sure why i am surprised ever year, about how many leaves we have.  I haven't even looked at the front of the house yet.  They will look really nice with snow on them.  :)   Fall is so pretty, but so messy.

emailed this one for birthday wishes today!  http://youtu.be/KsJ10SXMe1A

I am usually not very good at Halloween decorating.  Mainly because I have such little storage and I don't really know where to keep much of that stuff.   That being said, I did find a few candles and used what I had around the house to make a pumpkin topiary.   (stole this idea from a nursery in town) It turned out better than I thought!    On to the next project....                         Have a Happy Halloween!!

http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/ Ah, what fun.  I love this blog and i love to just strole thru and be inspired.  Thanks Elsie!  When I actually get a bit further in my organizing and shop/craft/studio room- i will try to post some fun stuff.  This just makes me think FALL - bring on the leaves, orange, rust, yellows - and warm fires too!

Day 17. Well, there were a few "cheats" along the way, but for the most part, I stuck to my diet. I have NEVER actually gone on a diet before and it turns out, I don't care for it much.     There is a light at the end of this tunnel and the good news??   Well, I did loose 8 pounds.    17 days, 8 pounds.   it could have been more, if I would have really stuck to my guns.   I also ate a few things i didn't realize I shouldn't have.   (peas and carrots, for instance- too many carbs) I have learned how to curb my eating and not eat so much.  Volume control is a major issue for me.  I eat way more than i ever did and now it seems to be getting back to where it should be.  Hopefully, I can read on to section #2 in the book and continue on.   I feel success and smaller jeans in my future.
