I've Been Tagged & Other Fall Goodies

Hi there folks! Just wanted to thank Miss Christine, from Preferably Prim and
Karen from The Barely There Primitive Bear, who both treated me w/a blogger award! You are supposed to choose 15 more bloggers to pass it to and then link back w/them, but I am going to forego that part as several of them have chosen many of the same gals, so I didn't want anyone to feel bad if I left someone out. I think you all are wonderful bloggers w/so much talent and inspiration, so I'm just choosing ALL of YOU and I hope that the 'award police' don't come after me ~ LOL.

The other part of the award is where you tell 7 things about yourself that most of you don't know already. So here goes:
1. I am a bit claustrophobic.
2. I love Spanish guitar music.
3. I do NOT drink tea OR coffee. I can't stand the SMELL of coffee brewing either, but I do drink a LOT of water, however.
4. I have lived in 4 states ~ Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, and Florida. (my kids could not name all 4, they guessed 3 right, but the 4th one(Missouri) they guessed Texas, W. Virginia and Iowa)!!! LOLOLOL
5. I once taught a famous country singer's daughter in a Chr. School in Jupiter, Fla. Her name was Georgette Jones, daughter of the famous couple ~ George Jones and Tammy Wynette, the couple's ONLY daugher they had together.
6. I wanted to be a missionary while in College and move to some Spanish speaking country, but instead ended up teaching Spanish and Home Ec in two different Chr. schools ~ (Fla. and Ky).
7. In the 5th grade, I wrote, acted in and directed a mystery~type play in front of my whole elementary school.


Anyone who wants to do this part, please join in. It was a lot of fun, but sort of a challenge trying to think of things to tell about yourself.


Here's some scenery from around our neck of the woods I thot I'd share w/ya. This tree is across the street from us. This is what it looked like today. The ironic thing about it is that the bark was set on fire yrs. ago from a bunch of wild kids who used to live there. The bark is completely BLACK, but yet it still blooms so pretty!
Here's that same tree from a few days ago. So you can see how much it's color has deepened in just a few days.
Here's some more wool pillows that I finished the other day. They were a lot of fun to stitch and rather quick too.

This one has a rusty star hanging from it.

This one has much more varigated overdyed wool than what shows here. That flash is at it again! LOL

I loved the wool fabric on the kitty.

Just a couple of very simple wreaths I made a few yrs. back.

This is my Tweety flag. I've always liked Tweety Bird for some reason. I used to have a Tweety Bird license plate on my car. LOL
Here's what the bottom reads:

On Sun. afternoon, my hubby and I took a little afternoon drive about 40 mins. from here to the Pumpkin Festival. I totally forgot to take my camera, but I did manage to buy this little mesh pumpkin tray, which I stood up on its side. Remember on the last post when I said I needed something taller on the fireplace to balance it out better? Well, this is what I put there.

Here's what it looks like all together.

Here's the whole fireplace top and bottom, w/all the fall goodies on it. (on the wall is my moosey decor that goes in our 'lodge'-themed family room). I usually change out the decor on top seasonally.

Thanks to everyone who stops by and esp. to those who leave such sweet and generous comments. I sure enjoy your visits!

See ya next time!
