Happy Halloween!

Wishing you candy and treats from Minnie and Mario!

Halloween Party '11

My sister and her husband had their annual Halloween party Saturday night, and it was very fun as always.
Here we are all dressed up for the night...

Frank and I stole my parent's idea from last year and went as the

Disneyland tourists...super easy!

First Snow of the Season

We had our first snow of the season last week. It was really beautiful...minus all the tree branches that broke. The kids enjoyed playing in it made things start to feel Fall-ish. We may get more snow this week and I will be more prepared with boots, hats, and gloves and stored in the cubbies in the garage and the bike gear, bubbles and summer toys stored away. Time to change seasons.

Pin what?

Have you hear about Pinterest yet? Yes, it is a website www.pinterest.com Many of my crafty and super cool mom friends have all been telling me I need to check it out. This week very good friend, T. sent me an invite(it's invite only, but let me know if you want one) and I joined, and now I am hooked! It is the newest, coolest thing since Facebook, Twitter, baked bread...you get my drift. If you are crafty, handy, even like to travel they have some really neat things. I found a crochet pattern that I printed off and hope to make for a few Christmas gifts "pinned" on there already. Love it!

Check Me Out!

Janna has posted more pics on her blog from her Sew Lovely class and I made my debut on her blog. Check. Me. Out! : ) No, really, do...

Sew Busy

I took a day long sewing class from my bloggy friend Janna Saturday, and since then my sewing machine has been humming along. We had "sew" much fun, I met some new friends, ate a ton of food and made 3 really great projects. I promise to post pics soon. Besides sewing we have a really busy week. Check out Janna's blog though...she always post fun stuff!

An all new look

I got a notice from Blogger saying I needed to update my Blog and suggesting I try the new interface. So, my Blog got a facelift. Not sure what I think yet. I did new to update the Blog though. I have been so busy that sitting at the computer for very long just isn't happening lately. Drop me an email, comment or smoke signal and let me know what you think of the new look. : )

Added later...
So I didn't like the new look and really messed up some things so I changed back to my old design and still like it much better. I added some cute little fish to the top though, how about them?!
