it is windy cold wet and rainy...

not motivated to do a damn thing....

mail call~

this wonderful doll came in the mail nestled in tightly

with a bag of dark chocolate covered ginger...

it came all the way from nova scotia courtesy of my wonderful friend lani....

she recently took a class making dolls from pipe cleaners, fabric strips and ribbon. wwe both decided that we would d a 1for1 swap...her dolls face is a button which i love and she picked it up at this cool bead shop in bellevue, washington on our way to artfest this past year.....

lani, i love her and the hidden rock and the beautiful bell she carries on her arm..

xoxtis is a sneak peak of my doll that will be on its way to nova scotia, i waasnt sure how to form the body as lanis was formed with pipe cleaners and foam rubber, mine on the other hand is formed with those plastic grocery bags....she is tall and thin but i really love how she turned out..and i hope lani loves her too....

hope y'all are having a great fall monday!!

it is so beautiful here in ohio..

last night~

last night julie our friend~jamie and myself attended the below production at the largest cemetary in our city. it is rich with history and i cannot believe i have never been there ever!

our good friend heather was one of the directors of the production.

below are just some pictures of the show...

it was a great show and i will be back at the cemetary to take some more pictures, i cannot believe how beautiful some of the monuments are..i thought the one below is totally cool as it looks like the letters are dripping blood...okay blood is a stretch but it does look like they are dripping and

i love the ghoulish and creepy especially at halloween...

okay, back to the coffin..

randomness at good manor~

just some random pictures at good manor last night.....

saturday at good manor

i think i have made it pretty well know that i LOVE fall.......
the crispness in the air, the bounty of color, bonfires at good manor,
and PUMPKIN PIE with cool whip~~
today was a beautiful fall day

the trees were bursting with color and there was campfire in the air!!

the only thing wrong was that it was in the 70s and not in the 50s

but i am confident that tonight when we have our now famous bonfires

it will be in the 50s and the air wil be perfect..the usual suspects will be here...

deb, kelly, eric, leonard & heather and that sweet alexander, bryce and jen..

of course the dogs will be making an occasional appearance throughout the night..

we will be having adult bevs, hot dogs and of course no fire is complete without s'mores....

so if you are in the vicinity..stop by!!
