Weekend fun

Last night some family came over with the kids and we watched a few Halloween cartoon movies.

Here is my niece Zoe playing with my hubbys haunted house

Here is my cousin Joride..watching ever so closely :) BOO!

Here is my nephew Zander he is 12. He enjoyed the popcorn the most I think.

My son Damian and his girlfriend Hannah went to a halloween party. I think they were vampires or zombies LOL..They had red contacts in..spooky.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Still working on my fall giveaway.

garage sales

Yesterday we ventured out to some yard sales. Normally I go to estate sales where I can

find vintage lines, and old tea pots, but we decided

to stay a little closer to home.

I found this Country Primitive sign..$2.00

I think its going in my kitchen.

Next an old cupcake pan. $1.00

This is what i LOVE about it

made in the USA

 Next I made a little fall pumpkin...I will tell you what..LOL..he looks way cuter in person.

I have seen others on pinterest and thought what the heck. Also my camera was running LOW on juice.

In this busy fast paced life...sometimes I am focused on what I want..

and forget about the blessings I already have.

Is anyone else with me on this one?

The Lord has been bringing this to my mind alot...since reopening my ETSY and EBAY shop..

I have been focusing on making things.

The Lord will let me get myself in s tussle..and then as always..

puts his hand on my heart and reminds me of all that he has blessed me with.

Remember what I have..and what joy it brings..always gets me back in line and close to God.

A few of my blessings:

A wonderful husband who supports me

2 great boys who make me laugh

electricity for hot summer days

food in my fridge for my tummy

a car and gas in it to drive

2 legs to walk with

2 hands to type and sew with

Duck convention

Evening everyone..hope everyone is having a good week.

Fall has "sorta" arrived here. Meaning it is now about 92 during the day..but at night it cools pff into the 70s and 60s and you can sit outside.

We don't use the pool much, but it is nice to sit outside and put your feet in it.

It is still relaxing.

This evening during dinner..hubby opened our blinds in the dining room and said

" Holy crap..look at all the ducks."

NOW..we have had ducks in our pool before, 2 of them invaded used our pool for a few weeks.

I looked out..and Oh my goodness

There was a total of 11..ELEVEN!

Now, dont get me wrong I think it is neat that ducks enjoy our yard/pool enough to visit

but really ELEVEN!

All the while my hubby was saying shhhh...or you'll scare them away!

LOL..after they left..he cleaned the poop from the decking..

tonight my Lucy ( ladybug vacuum) will clean inside the pool.
