The other night I whipped this up.

I wanted to see what would happen if I let the carving utensils speak to me,

so I free handed it...

                                           NOT

Just messin witch ya!

Sunday night while I was blogging Brad set us up for carving.

1. Polka dot table cloth              Check
2. newspaper                            Check
3. cute outfits for Ella and I       Check Check
4. pumpkins washed                 Check
5. Carving utensils ready          Check
6. Kotex pads and tampons visible in most of the carving pictures   Check Check!

Yes, there they are right behind me near the coffee pot.

I can't believe I didn't notice them. I was so excited to carve my Twilight  pumpkin I didn't notice the set designer had misplaced a prop.

Well, that's real life for ya.

Did I mention how excited and into this I was?... I nearly stabbed myself to death a number of times on the nifty toothpick stencil holders Brad came up with. I had a heck of a time navigating around those babies.

You all probably know this, but just in case, if you want a better pumpkin picture you have to light several candles inside. I learned that here. Simple, but very effective.

I am definitely on Team Edward.

I know it's a bit cougarlicious, but I cannot help myself.

 Out of these pictures came this...

    

One last thing before you go...

Do you believe in ghosts?

You will after you see this. You have to look real close but he is there, there is no mistaking it.

Mysteries of Me

Pause the player over to the right first. It's right there under the soundtrack I recently took this class online. What a delightful little project.

The Rainbow Connection

The day I've been dreading is here.

A year ago today the Lord called her home.

Leading up to today we all said we were going to try and treat this just like any other day, just so we could make it through.

But, when you have the " Hallmark" lady for your mother, dates have a way of haunting you.

Will the 26th of October ever really be any other day than what it has become?

 I don't think so.

There is so much to say... yet I can't say it.

So, I'll just share this with you.

Not long after mom died, my sister started seeing rainbows.

Someone told her that that was her mom communicating to her.

I have to say I was skeptical.

Until...

I started seeing them too, and then Ella.

Some may say the rainbows were there all the time we just didn't notice them before.

But, like the song goes ..So we've been told and some choose to believe it,

I know their wrong wait and see.

you may not know this but  there is actually another verse to this song.

This verse says it all for me.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

That's part of what rainbows do.

Rainbows are lifes memories

Sweet dream reminders

What is it you'd like to do?

All of us watching and Wishing you'd find it

I know that your watching too.

Someday you'll find it, the rainbow conncection

the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Lifes like a movie, write your own ending

Keep on  believing and Keep on pretending

We've done just what we set out to do.

Someday you'll find it

the rainbow connection

the lovers, the dreamers and me...

Here's to hoping you are a dreamer and a believer too.

Love to you all
