Wednesday Check In! Less than 3 weeks til Halloween!

 

A little bit of my fall decor.  The gnome is a repurposed air freshener I bought from a craft show. It's super cute and I love that it's reusing something that goes in the trash.  The candle is also from a craft show, it's a really nice fragrance, perfect for fall, the little striped pumpkin was a library craft and the tray is a cake plate that my mom gave me. Tiered trays with seasonal displays are BIG, so this is my take on that decorating trend. 

I've been working very hard on my passion project.  So far so go, I think I'll be ready to spill the beans by Halloween.  Right now I don't want to say much because I don't want to jinx myself. 

I haven't finished reading my books for this week. I have a few more hours left to listen to Holly by Stephen King, and I'm about halfway done with Much Ado About You which is good, it's just long. I flipped ahead a few chapters to see if they ever have sex. Looks like they do, hopefully, so far they've almost kissed but been interrupted a few times and that is a fine line.  You know?  Like I'll allow it once or twice, and then I start rolling my eyes.

How about you? How's your week going?  

Mushrooms I saw while walking!

I like to wait until after New Years Day to take down our decorations. I don't try to take everything down at once, just like I don't put up all the decorations at once.  Putting up and taking them down I do here and there over a few days. 

I have decorations that are not specific to Christmas, so I am leaving those decorations up until it's time for Spring. To my winter decorations, I added Valentine's Day decorations.  Last week I made a trip to the Dollar Store and found some cute stuff, I even found one gnome decoration for my porch. I bought some dollies and string with the idea that I could make a craft of some sort.

Sometimes when I go to the dollar store (which is now actually the $1.25 store), I buy items planning to get crafty, and well, it doesn't happen. This time, I did follow through--gold star for me!

I took red and white doilies glued them together then I found old pictures of which I had extra copies and I cut the pictures up, glues those to the doilies, and then used red & white string to hang them up, I was thinking about making a garland, but this was a little easier for me to get done.

I also have been on a good streak of very engaging reads.  This week I'll be talking about:
