good morning girls..

( ... little edit here: I just have to say that I love this piece of music! are you listening to it? I guess you have to love big band to like it.. which i do.. I think Ive heard this song about 15 times in the last couple days! love it.. appropiately called "girl talk" perfect for blogging..... oh and .. need one more to play.. pay it forward!)



good morning girls.. Yeah!! its the weekend.. you wont believe this.. but I just turned down going to the beach for the day!! my daughter bethany called and wanted to go, but I just really dont want to spend the whole day there.

I think we're going to go to our new spot at the lake, which is much closer and we can stay there for a shorter time and still enjoy the lake and the sun! The pictures above are from our new spot just up the road abit! Tony and I went up there the other night! dont ya love the picture of him on the rocks, he looks like a gnome!

two things...

one, I want to show you the halloween purse that i just finished!

I love it! what do you think? It was from a pattern in a book... I think it's by penny mcallister. I added to it and changed it around a little.. as I just can't seem to follow a pattern !

second:

Ive been bitten by the pay it forward bug! what a great idea.. I kept trying to get in on one, but kept missing out by not being one of the first three to respond and say they wanted to play! I got into this one through the fabulous ELe (who I may add has the same color hair as me! and who is extremely creative and talented!)

So This is how it works:

I will send a gift of my choice to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog and ASK to join this "Pay it Forward" exchange. You must make the same pledge on your blog! Please keep the item small so that it can be mailed in a mailing envelope or small box. So, if you want to receive goodies from me and are willing to do the same on your blog, leave a comment and let me know!!! I will need your email and mailing address from each of you so that I can get your goodies out in the mail, (my e-mail is located on my profile). Oh and if you stopped by and you don't want to play, you can still leave me a comment and let me know you were here! You will only be included to play if you say you want to play and you are one of the first three! LET'S PAY IT FORWARD!

OK: New change of plans.. my son is camping with his girlfriend at Darien Lake.. he just called and wants us to visit him. there is a great beach there, so Beth and I are going to visit for a bit and hit the beach after all! till then, I have a project to work on!

Later girls! Hope you all have wonderful weekends!
