You Never Know What You'll See ...

This photo was taken the weekend of the Fall Fun Fest here in town. I took it with my camera phone at a small grocery store.  Yeah, barbecue cook-offs are hot here!

The Fire Pit

A couple of years ago, DH and I bought a fire pit. The metal wood-burning kind. We never used it. Younger daughter, after her move to Nashville asked to borrow it. So it resides there. We talked about borrowing our fire pit back, but finally decided what we really wanted was a propane powered one, so that we can turn it off and feel a lot safer about using it.

So, earlier this week we went to Lowes and bought one. This is what it looks like. Nice looking, eh? Except when we went to remove the side panel where the propane tank goes, it started crumbling. Back to Lowes where we exchanged it.

I kind of liked this, and since it wasn't resin stone, I thought, no problems.  Well, when we took it out of the package, one whole side was caved in. Back to Lowes. Back to square one.

Right now we have a bench sitting out on the fire pit pad looking at nothing! The original fire pit? Well, we generously gave it to younger daughter. Not that I want to haul a smoky smelling fire pit from Nashville to home!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas -- in My Craft Room!

You can tell I am thinking about Christmas as I start working on my Christmas cards. This will be the first year that I will be making them and I've already gotten started.  Here is a peek at them. All of them were made with the "Christmas Cheer" kit from SVG Cuts.
