LIL O'S FIRST BOAT RIDE

Several weeks ago we took our Lil O out on her first boat ride.

It was a beautiful fall day with calm waters on Lake Champlain.

Here she is getting her first lesson on driving Papa's boat.

She was just so amazed at all the bells and whistles (Papa's boat is actually a fishing charter boat)

We made it a family trip.

Lil O is probably wondering, what are you people doing, we are driving the boat here!

We had a wonderful boat ride and look forward to many more.

ON MY WORK TABLE

I have some new items on my work table.

I will keep you updated on my plans for the Styrofoam balls.....

I love the tissue paper that JoAnn's has for sale.   I think this has been at least the 3rd year they have carried this, right up my alley for sure.

These I found at my local grocery store, thought I would use them as a tag base, size is pretty close.

I will be making up three Christmas tags to swap soon.

What is on your work table?

Thanks for stopping by.

FALL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

I so do love the fall season.  I love the apples, pumpkins, cider, donuts (of course the donuts) the beautiful colors of the leaves and the cooler temperatures.  I love the idea of a cozy home, one that is full of harvest smelling candles and the idea of comfy clothes and soft blankets on the couch.

I wanted to share with you some fall photos I took.

Thanks for stopping by.

ROSES OF COURAGE

In honor of breast cancer awareness I joined in on a swap at Altered Paper Swaps "Roses of Courage".

I purchased a doily quite awhile back, it had several of these roses on it.    Using these roses to create three pink roses for the swap I got right to work.

Using pink and purple paints and glitter paints I managed to turn these plain white roses into the following;

I used some of my mini dried roses, a pink pearl and some organza ribbons along with some twine to complete the flower.

These roses are on their way to Canada.

Thanks for stopping by.
