A Witchy Swap!

Hey Y'all how are ya today?
Waiting for the first frost of fall here!
It feels like it will never arrive!
 That morning the first frosty morning is my Cream Of Wheat morning, it is a silly little tradition I have,
 just for me as Lee hates Cream of Wheat...ha ha ha.
I am a seasonal eater too, so hot cereal is not a Summer food for me.
Do you eat seasonally too?

I was so excited that I  was able to participate in Vivian's  Witchy Hat Swap.
It was such fun trying to decide what to do...Do I alter a fabric hat?  Do I send just a tiny hat and lots of goodies? Do I paint or paper a paper mache hat??? Decisions!
 In the end I decided to send to Lynn at Life on the Wienee Ranch a painted paper mache hat that I embellished the devil out of...teehee.
I also included a big ole bunch of goodies, which I neglected to photograph :( oh well, hopefull you will see it on Lynn's blog!
Here is how my hat turned out


It was such a fun swap!
Thanks Viv for hosting it!

    Oh Jenny! Your hat is fabulous! I so wish I had seen a few of these hats before I made my very boring one. I had no idea all the things that could be done with them. I just sat and stared at mine. Beautiful! Lynn will love this hat. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Elizabeth

    Ethel,
    That hat is amazing!!!!! I love it!!!! You are so good. I'm keeping my eyes open for one of those. Thanks for visiting and the nice comment you left. I have to tell you, after several people telling me to look elsewhere for that cookie jar, I did find the same one on sale for like 56 dollars. By the time I get some money it will probably be gone, but so far that's not a bad price. Not sure what the shipping would be. Tell Fred he was right about looking for a better price, but then, what else would you expect from Fred?
    So happy you did such a great job on your swap, you rock Miss Ethel. Love ya, Lucy

A RE-Post...

Hey Y'all! How are ya today? The weather is cooler...I am anxiously awaiting the first frost of fall! I think that is my favorite day of the year...well next to a snow day that is! I was fiddling around my blog, looking at the page views and out of nowhere this post had 6 views today, so I thought I would re-post it, I still feel it and believe it as much today as I did last year when I wrote it. As a matter of fact, reading it made me feel better. This post is from last November, I did a month of counting my blessings, this was day 2. Today I am thankful and blessed. I am thankful today that I am saved by grace. I love knowing Jesus as my savior. Image from google I love the knowledge that no matter what He is there for me. My dad told me once that when times are so tough, if you just imagine sitting with Jesus and talking to Him it will get better. I often picture in my minds eye sitting on the beach with Jesus on my right and my dad on my left and my husband behind me

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make
