and the winner is......

(out my kitchen window) 
Good morning girlie pies!   Happy Saturday!! Happy Weekend!   Happy winner day!  LOL!

Took these pics yesterday morning on my way to work.  It was such a pretty day yesterday.  I dont think today is going to be.  I think its supposed to be rainy.   Fall really is such a beautiful time.. too bad it turns into winter.  I do think winter is pretty.  but I dont particularly like it, mostly for the reason that its cold and I dont like to drive in the snow... but lets just not go there yet.. we still hopefully have another month or so before it really arrives.

I have a halloween gift to make for my friend Kelly this weekend (and I have the best idea!) then I'll be working on bear orders. and then... I think.... it'll be time to switch gears to christmas crafting.  Im only doing one christmas swap this year and thats Elizabeths box ornament swap.  I think I need a little swap break!  though really, if my arm was seriously twisted in the right direction..  I might change my mind!  LOL!

This morning I'm taking Thomas the big white stray to the vet.  He is in need of some medical care..  He is just the sweetest animal.  my husband hates him.  but I have a secret plan....  Thomas will have tests this morning for feline luekemia and kitty aids.  If he passes those, then he will get shots, dewormed and deflea'd.  Then of course an over all check up.  He has ear problems and usually a neck sore.  so I want to get him all cleaned up and healthy.

that'll be todays visit.  then in another week or so, he'll go back to get neutered.  they wont do it all the same day.  So what is my secret plan?  to bring him in the house!!  My husband is pretty adamant that wont be happening.  but I love thomas and so does figgy.  Frannie, not so much.  I dont know how he would do in the house. maybe he will only come in once in a while.. I dont know.  but I want to try.  And if tony really throws a fit and doesnt want him inside, then he will have to build him a house for outside where he can stay warm this winter.  So if you hear bellowing from this direction.. its just Tony blowing off some steam while Thomas gets comfy!  heehee! 
  I dont know what the big deal is anyways.... !

so.... Do you want to know who the winner is now that youve listened to me ramble on here?

I bet you do!  I wish I had the time and energy to make something for everyone!

my husband picked the lucky winners number and it was MERI!!

so send me your address my friend!  and for the rest of you.. I will surely be doing a christmas giveaway in dec!

Have a great day everyone!
