Pay it forward

Paying it Forward:How great is it when we all look out for one another and brighten the day of someone else who we do not know yet?!?!

After looking at some inspiring blogs, I noticed one called "The Feathered Nest".... the lady's name is Dawn. The post was called "Paying it Forward". I thought, "wow this is really neat and would love to brighten someones day with some artwork and then pass the PIF task on to someone else willing to jump in and do the same for 3 others. So I jumped over to another link from her blog, I came across Karin blog "Meandering Travels of Mindless Thoughts" where I decided to respond to the PIF "challenge".

It is that simple - 3 people answering the "kindness call" to spread the goodness and then asking 3 more to do likewise onto others.

So, the first three sweet commenters to this post who are willing to partake in this incredible opportunity will receive a little creative token of love from me. Below are the rules of the game (copied from Amy):

1. You comment on this post.

2. You receive a handmade gift from ME.

3. You post this message on YOUR blog and offer THREE more handmade gifts to the first three commenters.

4. Thus, the cycle continues and everyone has fun and beautiful crafts to display in their home.I will contact you for your addresses.Please leave a comment if you choose. Spread your wings. Sprinkle joy. Lift another. Pay it forward.

And the winner is....drumroll pease!

I forgot....pics of my son before homecoming!

This is my 16 year old son Matt before his homecoming dance last Saturday! Such a handsome little devil!! Don't let the looks fool ya though....he's definitely a teenager...ughhh.

He didn't have a date. He went in with 6 girls!! You know he thought he was the king of the homecoming! LOL

Ahhhh to be young again. *sigh*

Don't mind my mess in the background.....it looks better now. LOL

Better today..... also, Giveaway Reminder!!!!!!

I woke up today feeling better than I have in a week. Thank God! I am not an extremely religious person, but I do believe. I know that all my prayers have been answered since I feel better today. I was scared there for a while when the dizziness and nausea started. I think I scared my hubby silly too. I went out yesterday for awhile, did some laundry, and carved them punkins! lol. The punkins turned out so good! I'll post pics tomorrow (need to take that pic first).
This morning it is sooooo cold here in the good ole' Burbs. Not suppose to get past 60 degrees this afternoon. Fall is definitely here. I love it, but I'm not sure if the kids do. They said it was "freezing" this morning! LOL I don't think they remember what December and January bring!!
Since I had to relax while sick, I got alot of crocheting done, pinned up the final portions of my quilt blocks for the MJF swap, and gathered up some goodies for the giveaway! Which reminds me.......
To remind y'all.......
Send me a comment for the giveaway!! I am drawing a name on the 1st of November!! Tell me what you love about being a farmgirl! If you don't have a farm, it's ok - I don't either. Comment anyway because so many of us have the farmgirl spirit!! Scroll down a few post and jump on in!! I won't disappoint the winner - I have some cool stuff - don't forget the headband - made just for you in your color choice!!

Anywho - I'm jabbering on (told ya I felt better).lol I gotta go finish a scarf and get my baby girl off to pre-k in a few hours. Take care and Happy Crafting all!! Stay safe and healthy!

Sick....and tired

I haven't been posting as much as I like lately. Doc told me that I have a viral infection so I must take it easy...yeah right, tell that to the kids! So here I sit, sick...and tired. I'm tires of putting drops in my eyes ( because that's where the viral infection started), and I'm run down because of the whole thing. Doc said either I take it easy or I can spend a week or so in the hospital! No thank you. I AM going trick or treating with the kids!! Well, since I haven't been able to do much, I've been getting some crafting done. My quilt blocks are almost done and ready to be sent out for the MJF swap, my ornament is 3/4 of the way done for the ornament swap, and I am working on a scarf for my MIL.
Hold on....need coffee...........

O.k, now with coffee in hand, I can finish.LOL Hubby has a 3 day refresher course for his plumbing back flow license, so I am mom and dad this weekend. I guess I get to do the punkin(as my kids call them) carving tomorrow night.
It's been raining here for 3 days now and suppose to continue until Sunday. I feel like I need to build an Ark!! It dreary and cold this morning so it makes me feel more tired. *yawn*.
Anywho, I guess it's time to go relax. Maybe I'll go lay back down with my little one until it's time for her to get up for pre-k. I don't know. Hopefully, I can get back here soon to post pics of my son before his homecoming dance. Such a handsome little devil! lol.
Don't forget to sign up for my giveaway!! I promise what I have pictured here is not everything that you will get. I've been gatherin' up some cool stuff! If you don't comment, then you don't have a chance to win!.
*** I'll give y'all a hint - some of the things smell really nice!!

Take care and stay healthy all! Happy crafting!!

My new Angel....

Went out to a place called "Tuesday Morning" the other day and hubby surprised me with a beautiful Angel! I had to put her out in the living room even though she's surrounded by Halloween Decorations! lol.

I also went to A.C. Moore and bought one of those foam kits for the kids. It's a haunted tree, so we'll put that together tonight! I'll post pics of that later.

The MJF ornament swap is still going on and I think mine is finished. I am still working on the quilt blocks and 20 other things too! My daughter wants me to help her make ornaments - I think I've rubbed off on her..YAY!!! She's thinking of joing MJF too so maybe we can get a chapter going soon! Anyway, I'm off to work on my quilt blocks while my youngest watches Shrek 2 for the hundredth time! Happy Crafting girlfriends and Take Care!

Pumpkin Farm!!

Hubby, Noah, Jaelynn (my grandbaby), and Ally - check out the "guy" stuck in the hay! lol

Noah and Ally. Ally's "milking" Noah! lol


The kids "driving" the tractor! lol











Jaelynn making faces at the farm! I made that hat for her! How cute is she?? lol


We went to Knightondale Farm in Harwood, MD. The kids had such a good time. It wore me out! They pumpkin bowled, picked pumpkins from the patch, and played in the corn kernels! It was really fun. I think I go everyyear for myself too! I LOVE pumpkin farms!!
