Thought for Today...

Already late...

Yes, you are correct.  I did miss a couple of 'weekly' updates.  The weather has broken into beautiful Fall temps (it's 53 now and our high will be 75...Mother Nature is in a good mood and so am I!) and work has been hectic.  Here are a few updates and I'll post some pics later today. (pics are here now!)
40x40:  2 more pounds drop kicked to the curb!  (pretty amazing since I haven't been to the gym in weeks...oops)
Crafties:  Haven't spent a lot of time on them, but they are on the agenda for today and tomorrow.  This is because I've been....
Halloween:  Getting my costume and party ideas ready for Halloween!!!  We are going to our first Halloween party (together) and I'm so excited about going gory!  I've never really done gory...had fun shopping at Spirit Halloween and getting some fun goodies (spirit gum, liquid latex, scar putty, fake blood...love it!)  A good friend of mine is also throwing a Halloween party and I'm trying to help her get all kinds of creepy ideas too.  If you follow my Pinterest you already know how busy I've been with my party ideas pinning.  :)    Love that crazy site.
Fishies:  They are now pets...since we got the fish back in April they have been feeding on plants and algae and ignoring any food I tried to give them.  Last week I noticed they were swimming around the plants, but not munching.  I gave the fish flakes a try...they gobbled them up!  Like they were famished...so I stood there watching...all the food was gone and I threw out some more...gone in minutes.  A few hours later I stood by the pond and all five fishies swam up to the top and circled until I threw some more food in...my little goldfish are trained!  Now they feel like pets and not just some fish that live in the pond.  Yay!

Time for some banana oatmeal and coffee to warm my bones before I get these doors open and get this day started.  Happy Hump Day!

So happy with how this is turning out!

Trial #1 for zipper face...fun!

Started a new craftie today...this is the beginning of my burlap bubble wreath (as seen on Pinterest, of course.)

Let me know what you think!  :)
