Scary Cat
(She just ordered those wooden vases and hasn't painted them yet.)


She also changed out the geranium picture.


to a Halloween one

Nice touch, Mrs. Dollhouse

She also added a few Fall touches to the coffee table. Oops! I see she has already beeen reading and getting ideas for Christmas.  :)

Mrs. D asks you to excuse the icky wallpaper and flooring. She is working on it, trying to pick out a pattern she likes.


092
Look! She was excited to find wood flooring under the carpet upstairs. :) :)
She plans to refinish it soon.


I also wanted to show you how well last year's mum is still doing. I'm so proud of him , and can't believe he's blooming so pretty again for me this year
Thanks for stopping by and I'll be joining Susan for "MET MONDAY"

Before & After Pumpkin

056
HELLO, BLOGGY FRIENDS. HERE'S A CUTE PUMPKIN CRAFT WE DID ON OUR LAKE MICHIGAN TRIP.

065
THIS WAS ONE OF OUR MODELS. EVERYBODY ADDED THEIR OWN PERSONALITY TO THEIRS, AND THEY TURNED OUT REALLY CUTE.

WE STUFFED A FISH NET HOSE AROUND THE PUMPKIN, BASTED THE TOP, ADDED RIBBON/RAFFIA, ETC.  THEN SNIPPED A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE AND CUT IT AS WIDE AS WE WANTED. SIMPLE AND FUN!

072
MY  FRIEND, GLORIA MADE THESE TWO. LOVE THE BEANIE PUMPKIN

077
THIS ONE MADE ME LAUGH.

Beth’s House


097
Hi, I just got back from a "girl's" trip to Michigan, and wanted to show you some of Beth's house.
Here she is greeting us at the door of her HUGE, beautiful home. We call her "Martha Stewart"
because she looks and acts like her, but she's much sweeter natured than Martha.


051
Living Room
052
Her view  is wonderful, and this picture does NOT do it justice.

047
It's beautiful now, but can you imagine watching the snow from these windows? (sigh)

048
Here's her pond. 


049
The deck. It was very windy the day I took this picture.


053
The other side of the LR

I think her house should be in BH&G


090
Cute, little corner. Her daughter did the artwork.


093
Table grouping in the LR. (Sorry about the glare)


095
We did a pumpkin craft while we were there, and here of two of the ones we made. I will show more of them in a later post.

THANKS FOR VISITING ME TODAY.  WE HAD SUCH A FUN TIME AND THANKS, BETH!

I'm joining Beverly for "Pink Saturday" today. Thanks, Beverly.
