ANOTHER FALL DAY IN NOVEMBER

Today I have just messed around. Had some Real Estate to take care of by phone. Then got caught up in texting. That can be time consuming, but there is nothing better than keeping up with my friends via text!

I find myself thinking about decorating now that the house is cleaned. where I want the trees ,what will I put out this year or will I go all out!! I have so much decorations and mom gave me plenty of her decorations after she moved and has little interest in decorating anymore. I think she is just to tired to do it and would rather just see it when she visits,which is rare these days.


 I got out last week to have Starbucks with a friend. After that we went to a few store. We checked out the new "Bed Bath and Beyond"!  I saw much I liked, but I am waiting for coupons. We went by "Kirkland" and I found these cute Gingerbread chair covers. I am a HUGE gingerbread decor kinda girl, so I bought 4. This made me very happy inside :)

I also found this cool looking owl winter hat. It has matching gloves! Ashley's name was written all over them. She loves owls! They are very trendy this year. So I picked them up as stocking stuffer.  Ugh, I was looking rather tired that day!

I love the new longaberger Christmas baskets. I think I might make an order for these. Especially the cute popcorn basket!

Ashley's friend found these little bears online and Ashley made them her profile. Just had to throw it in here . So cute and how funny to have both her and Andrew's name on their little outfits.

Me before or after church on Sunday. I just bought that blouse. Can't see it good in this photo but it is so comfy! I get in the spirit to buy clothes this time of year and again in the spring. As you can see by the clutter this was before my cleaning spree!!

With all I have going on in my head I still find time to work out. I have a "work out/use to be dance studio", in our basement. I went through the "HEALTH" magazines and found some great exercises. Since I go to the gym 3 times a week while Ashley is doing her Tae Kwon Do, I choose to do my Pilate's at home. Works out nice as long as I get down there and do not procrastinate!

Another surprise gift for Ashley's Christmas. A quilt for her bed. Her Burgundy comforter shows everything! I think this will look nice over the covers and blend nicely. Best of all it should not show as much lint! I am sure she cares less at 14 if lint is showing on her comforter. But, it drives me crazy,it makes her bed look unclean! Even though it is very clean. This will make me happy.

Awe,yes Fall and Thanksgiving! I have not forgotten.I love this time of year ,as it is the start to the time of year I get to bake and enjoy being home and decorating. This is a day I look forward to because I have fond memories of dad cutting the turkey mom roasted in the oven. We get mom's dressing and all the goodies we enjoy on Thanksgiving day! So to make my table nice I grabbed these place mats at Wal-Mart, don't you think they will be perfect!!

Clean and ready for some scrapbooking! Yes, I cleaned the studio and went through my supplies. Now to get motivated!!

Just some reminders of the season. All the Beautiful and colorful leaves have fallen after the windy days and rain showers. We now have a brownish leaves that cover the yards..The deer are out in abundance through out our neighborhood as well as the turkey.

Deer Crossing!!
