Let's give 'em pumpkin to talk about!

Hello!

Hope you're all well!

I spied the title online and it made me LOL! Doesn't take much to amuse me!


 This is going to:

Allsorts Week 751 Autumn Colors or Anything Goes

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 695 Halloween/Thanksgiving

Crafty Catz #655 Anything Goes/ Optioal Twist: Lots of Layers

Creative Fingers Challenge #264 Anything Goes

Cut It Up #289 Add a Sentiment! Don't forget to use a die cut!

Double D Challenges Pumpkins

Little Red Wagon #727 Patterned Paper or Not. I like both! It depends what I'm making!

Shopping Our Stash SOS507-Franken-card Whatever says Halloween to you! Everything on here is ancient. Except the paper, but it's a year or two old! 

I am a hurtin' unit. That's what my cousin who was in the military used to say!

Mom went to Canasta Thursday. I am happy to say that the gutters are cleaned out until the next major windstorm, and the roof is sprayed for moss! That's up and down the ladder a gazillion times! Oh, and the garden shed is done too!

But wait, there's more! When my brother was here, he raked leaves. in front of the house, and under the big tree in the back. The night he left, we had wind!


 I spent a couple hours yesterday cleaning up after him the wind.


 I covered that pile of leaves last night! I'm hoping Kalen can take them when he comes for the rest of the weed pile! I put them nicely on a tarp!

Today I channeled Paula Bunyan (legendary lumberjack Paul's sister winkwink), and chopped wood for an hour! I am a sucker for punishment. The wood that was delivered last fall has quite BIG chunks in it, and my mother won't burn them! I am trying to clean out one side of the woodshed!

Tomorrow I will chop some more wood, and One Hour Cinnamon Buns are on the list! That's on top of the marathon cleaning I do while she's at church. Some things are better done when she's not home! I have a 1.5 hour time-frame!

Talk to ya later!

Stay safe!
