a day out with my bony friend!

 A day with bony neroni!  here he sits in my car, where he would be spending the day waiting for me to get out of work!   He was really excited to get out of the house and was looking forward to giving people something to smile about!

 we had a nice conversation on the way to work.. and at one point I pulled over so we could take a halloween shot of ourselves! 

 LOL!  I know, I know, we're fairly odd,  but girls and ghouls just wanna have fun!

 After work we headed over to Torrys to hand out candy and see him in his costume.  Torry and Jennifer thought that Bony might like to eat some smarties.. even though they seem to go right through him! lol!

 Bony enjoyed his evening handing out candy on the porch, and hanging out with Tony and the very pregnant Vanessa (who hopefully will have our new baby Violet, any day!!)    

And.. look at the cutest little monster in the world!

This pic was taken professionally.  Beth had his pics done the other day..  freaken cute isnt he?

I dont have one of marla pie in her lambie costume yet.. but I well post one soon as I do.  I didnt see her for halloween, but I will see her sweet little self tomorrow morning.

OK.. so other then marlas picture.. thats it for halloween!

I think I'll start packing it up tomorrow!

Happy Friday!

trick or treat!!

jibber jabber

Almost Halloween.. And Im thinking how much I dread putting all my cuties away!  but I have a few cute thanksgiving things that have to come out for a couple weeks..  only 1 bin!  and then of course.. the day after thanksgiving.. christmas comes out.  

Do you all know people that dont decorate?  I wonder what thats like.  I can not even imagine.   though sometimes I do think I should give up the cuties and just decorate like, for fall. with more natural things... pumpkins, gourds, leaves.. and for christmas with just greens and candles and berries.. etc...   but I would miss all my little friends!

OH well.. somehow, Ive managed to collect all this stuff and whats the sense in having it, if I dont put it out and enjoy it, even if only for a few weeks out of the year!  lol!  And I do get excited when its time to unpack it all and I get to see each piece again after it being stored away for a year.  theres sooo much cute stuff!!

The hard part is figuring out where it all goes each year!  I always have to go to my flickr site to look at pics to remember just how I had it all the year before!

Anyways... thats all for this morning.. just a bunch of jibber jabber..  about unimportant stuff!  

and Halloween is only 2 days away and then its over for another year.  I'm going to my daughters house to hand out candy there because she will get lots of trick or treaters and I will get none!  I'm taking Bony Neroni with me! LOL!

for now.. its off to work I go.. the next two days promise to be boring as I have two days of training...  I hate sitting at trainings.. I really do have Add.. and i t is soooo hard for me to just sit there...

oh well gotta do what we gotta do...

toodles ghouls!

company and a busy weekend!

so a few months ago, I received a message from my friend Marlene who Ive known in blogland for probably 5 years or so.  she asked if she could come visit and if I would teach her to needlefelt.   so of course I said yes!

plans were made and the months passed by, and suddenly it was time for her to come.  she took a bus all the way from New Jersey!  Quite honestly, I feel honored that she would want to travel two whole days just to spend a few hours with me. 

Her bus arrived Friday afternoon a little before 5:00, we whisked her off from the Rochester bus terminal for another hour of riding in a car to the big town of Medina for Pizza and wings.  Main St Medina was totally packed with kids out for beggars night.  Its sort of like a pre trick or treating night when the kids hit all the area businesses!  way toooo busy!  anyways, a quick dinner with Marlene, my friend Sandy and my daughter and torry pie, then off we went to see the musical Les Mis.  what a great show!

we got home late, had coffee, tea and applecrisp then off to lalaland!  On I taught Marlene how to needlefelt.  she made acorns, a pumpkin, a candycorn doll and an owl!  she caught on very quickly.  In the afternoon we took a little break and went for a drive to a craft antigue co-op and to the lake.  then home for lasagna and salad and another visit with bethany and torry pie.  Torry pie just loved Marlene, which is interesting because he takes a long time to warm up to most people.

Getting her back to the bus terminal was a little hectic the next morning.  we had to leave my house at 6:00 am, but my battery was dead in my car!  had to wait for hubby to get up and jump it.. then once on the expressway, the route we needed to take was closed! but we got there with 15 minutes to spare.  In fact the bus was sitting there, and she got right on it!   such a long trip just to visit me!  but we had a fun visit and she said it was worth it! lol! 

sunday I laid low and played in my craft room  I made this little kitty and painted the orange pumpkin.    I think Im done with halloween creating now..   Christmas is really starting to creep into my head now! LOL!

speaking of christmas, stay tuned!  Im going to host a challenge.. not a swap.  but an elf challenge!  I'll post more about it soon! 

Thats all for now folks.. Ive got the itchies.. and Im tired and heading to the couch! 

toodles!

had a little halloween crafty time...

Good morning friends! Ive had a little time to play in my craft room over the past couple days.  (well, when I havent been at work..)  work definitely gets in the way of my creative play time.  but I have to tell you that is one of the reasons I get up so early.  Getting up at  5:00 am leaves me 3 1/2 hours in the morning to putter and play before I go to work.  I love that time!  hubby leaves at 5:00, so it is perfectly quiet and uninterupted time.   though this morning right after my husband left, someone knocked on my door.. scared the bejeebees out of me!  I thought it was my husband coming back and unable to get in because the door was locked so I just opened the door.  I should have turned the light on to check to see before I opened my door!  It was not my husband.  It was ok though,  it was just my son, stopping by before going hunting. but it shocked me when I opened the door and it wasnt tony!  people dont usually just knock on your door at 5 oclock something in the morning!   And we definitely shouldnt open the door with out checking to see who it is!  LOL!  silly me.

Tomorrow my friend comes!  looking forward to hanging out with her this weekend.  We're going to see this production of Les mis tomorrow night.  Click on les mis to see a preview of it.  This is from the lake plains players, a theatre group that my daughter is involved with.  Jen is in it, she plays an old whore! Yikes!  It looks like its going to be really good!  

hmmmm.... trying to decide whether to dust and take down cobwebs... or just leave them as halloween decorations!  LOL!  In any case Ive got stuff to do so off I go!  but first I'll give myself 15 minutes of blog hopping.. not nearly enough time, but it'll do for now!

have a great thursday my friends!
