Happy Weekend!! Extra happy weekend for me... as Im off until the 30th!! woohoo.. now if I just had something fun planned.. but I dont. I had considered cancelling my vacation because I dont have anything planned, but then when I went to work yesterday, I thought, what am I crazy?? so who knows what I will do for the next 9 days.
I do plan on cleaning my house... my bedroom is a disaster and so is the porch and my craftroom.. so I'll be puttering and playing house. I got out all my seashells and beachy themed things the past couple days. And I put most of my patriotic things away. I dont have alot of of summery themed stuff, but it's still time consuming getting it all out and putting the other stuff away!
Ive been thinking about the big H word!!! HALLOWEEN!! Im thinking about hosting a halloween swap. just havent quite figured it out yet.. I was thinking about a witches hat and jackolantern swap. Maybe I would call it the witches hat and jack swap! Also thinking about a private halloween ornie swap. last night I went shopping with one of my besties and my daughter and we stopped into buffalo stamps where they have some great halloween papers out.. so of course I had to have them. Ive been drooling over them this morning!
So for today, I think I m going to head back out shopping this morning to joann fabrics, as I need some stuff that we didnt get last night. Then Im going to come home to clean up my bedroom! Tomorrow we are going to the "In Jacobs Corner" benefit. Sounds like its going to be a great day of music, food and fun. 7 well known Rochester bands, country and rock music are coming together to honor Jacob and raise money to pay expenses. The kids plan on making a donation to the ronald mcdonald house also. There are tons of baskets of goodies for the basket raffles and who knows what else. Pray for a great turn out please! These people have put their all into this event. I want it to be great.
So one more thing before I go.. I received a unexpected package in the mail the other day from our sweet Renee at vintage mending! she made this wonderful little pillow for me. I LOVE it. right now its on the porch swing. Not sure where its perfect spot is yet.. I'll be moving it around from place to place and will post a pic when it finds its perfect home!
thank you soooooo much Renee!
OK.. I have a bit of a sore throat and head ache.. so off to take some tylenol and head to the shower.
have a great weekend everyone! I'll post lots of pics of tomorrow event. wish you could all be there!

Best to you all for Jacob's Benefit. Those dang buttons never would sit still for me. Sorry about that. I wanted to embroider there but I couldn't get it to look perfect and I loved the color of those buttons...I wanted you to know I was thinking of you and your sweet family. Smiles...Renee
I gasped at the cuteness of that pillow, and then wouldn't you know it was made by Renee! Of course!
I also love your hydrangeas and the hooked sailboat bag! Beachy things are so great!
I hope the Jacob Benefit is enjoyed by all! :)

This may be one of your best vacations yet! Think of all the money you'll save and stress you'll eliminate. Sounds like by the end of it, you're gonna be one decluttered, organized, refreshed mama!
Keep me in mind if you decide on a Halloween decoration swap. I haven't swapped in a while and next to Christmas, Halloween's my favorite to decorate and craft for.
Let us know how your staycation turns out!
YAY for being off till the 30th! Wish SO much you could come visit me!!! And I think it's awesome that people are gathering to raise $$ for the medical costs the young couple acquired with sweet Jacob. Viv, your house looks AMAZING! I swear I could go inside & happily wander around for HOURS oohing & ahhing over all your darling stuffies! Then I'd play with the kitties & annoy YOU! LOL! Hope your weekend is great & it only gets better all through the days till the 30th. Looooove you so much!
I love the hanky pillow! I hope you guys raise enough money! Who's performing? I wish we could hang out together on your vaca!!
