Hoot! Hoot!
My sweet blogger friend Trish over at Notes of Sincerity is having an October give-away.
I'm not going to give you the details, but I will tell you this white little hooter is involved!
If you have never visited Trish's blog, you are in for a treat as well. She eats, drinks, and
sleeps quilting, I think. How else could she turn out all those happy coverlets she makes?
I am on my way over this very minute to register, and then I'm going to show you my
make-do autumn arrangements.
O.K. I'm back. Am I fast, or not?
Seriously, I am on this kick to 'make-do'. It all started with the whole de-cluttering
process. I think when you go through so much stuff and determine that you haven't
used it in years and don't even want it or need it anymore, it gets you to thinking about
your future purchases. I find that I now ask myself just how badly I want something or
really need the item before I just up and buy it on a whim- just because I can.
Last week I discovered that my box full of fall decor was stuffed out in the shed
with all the other boxes from what was once our garage, which as most of you
know is now the MIL camp. So this was the perfect opportunity to put my money
where my mouth is and 'make-do'! The pumpkin in my wooden bowl was 'free' at
the pumpkin patch and the gourds were a gift from my daughter. Not sure how long
this will last, but I'm really enjoying with the challenge.
This was taken yesterday, between downpours, on our way up to the Canadian Carvers gift
shop. My SIL brought my MIL back from Michigan and we had to visit 'The Voyageur's
Cookhouse' for sweets and tea and then on to shop. No, I didn't buy a thing.
How are the colors out your way? I really do love hearing what's happening where you live!
Blessings-Kimberly
