Halloween 2011

These are the treats I made for Gavin's class...the coffin was a pattern from Martha Stewart and I cut it out on my Cricut.  Not sure where I got the skull for the tag but it and the elements for the tag were all cut on the Cricut too.  I found the skeleton at Michaels...it was a banner and I just cut it apart.  They fit perfectly in the coffins after I filled them with candy.

And, this is the only Halloween deco I have in the house....maybe next year I'll do more.  Love my subway art!  Found this cute little guy at a fabric store on sale.....just $4.49....too cheap to pass up...lol

Covered Bridges

Brent & I took a Sunday afternoon drive to grab some snaps of Covered Bridges in Ohio.
I wish the fall color had been better but with all the rain and wind we've been having the leaves are almost gone. It hasn't been a very pretty fall this year, but at least we had enough sunshine to get out and snap a few shots.

Happy Jack

Grabbed this quick snap out back yesterday evening when the wind died down a little. It's been so windy here that it's been hard to get any nice fall shots or keep the leaves cleaned up.

I've had this happy jack for many years and I still love it. Such a happy face.

Thank U for sharing

Just letting you see that I got mine done....I LOVE them.  I can't wait to see what you come up with for Nov.  I found my frames at Wally World and they are shadow box style.  So, I was thinking I could add a small item to each frame....like a broomstick, witch, etc....just need to find something.


Thank you VERY much for sharing this great idea with me and the art work.  Bill thinks I'm so creative...LOL...had to break it to him that I was only the assembly person, not the creator...

I'm not sure I like this new blogger post field....can't figure things out like I did before.  Oh, well...just enjoying our warm nights and my new wide angle lens.  I finally upgraded my kit lens with this new Tamron 17-50 2.8.  Took this last night around 9:30 pm. I can't believe how nice our temps have been for Oct.  We are still sleeping with the windows open and not ever getting cold.  Now, if we could just get some rain!  We have about a 30 % chance this week but I'm not holding my breath for much.

I absolutely love my front porch!  I plan on spending more time here next year with a good book and a cold glass of diet coke.

Subway Art........October

I have been seeing a ton of Subway Art on the net and of course I had to try doing one myself. This is my try for October. Will there be a November????? I don't know....LOL......It all depends on how many rainy gloomy days we have between now and then.

Click on above image then right click and save as. Need to resize image to 7.5" x 7.5". That's the size of frame I have mine in. I don't have any idea if this will work or not but hope so. If it doesn't let me know and I'll try another way.
