Thank You, Lord For Your Blessings

I feel like this week was swept 

away in a whirlwind.  

After a great weekend

with the family, 

I substituted two days,

ran around getting together 

things for the festival

including

getting a costume together 

and making chili for the chili cook-off,

spoke to a ladies group on Thursday,

had a pop-in visit from Christy and Troy,

and now getting dinner for them tonight.

As always, an incredibly high week

is followed by extreme lows.  

I am having to pace myself, 

speak a lot of LIFE, 

count my blessings

and PRAISE.

I have a lot of reason to praise. 

A Little Pumpkin

A Little Dusty, the Sharecropper

Food on my table

Shoes on my feet (well almost)

You gave me your love, Lord

And a fine family,

Hope and a Future

A Good Daddy

Someone who loves me and wants me to stay

These are just a few.

Thank you, Lord for your blessings on me.

Old Pie Safe Doors and a Fall Change-up

I did a small change-up for Fall.

The space needed some warmth. 

The white window was just not quite right for Fall. 

The doors are from an old pie safe. 

Perfect wood!

 

Played around with a little Picmonkey.

I kinda like this effect.

Looks like a portrait.

The white window was a great backdrop for Spring and Summer.

Going for a simple Fall.

Jack-o-Lanterns or Just Pumpkins?

I don't decorate for Halloween.

I prefer pumpkins to jack-o-lanterns. 

My niece does a great job at both. 

I prefer simple.

She likes foo-foo too.

She works a full-time job,

teaches painting classes, 

always has a craft project or two going on, 

is director of the children's department,

shuffles her own children to softball, school, and church activities

and is a mommy to these two and a wife to the man in the middle.

When can we do this one, Dawn?

Do you decorate for Halloween

 or 

do you, like me, 

just do FALL?

Have a wonderful weekend, 

Bonnie:)
