We ordered over 200 spring bulbs that had to go in the ground and last week was spent digging, resting, more resting and finally finishing. Luckily, we had some perfect fall days before Jack Frost arrived last night to harden the earth and take some of the pleasure out of yard work. When we first built our home I planted tulips and the local deer ate all of the flower tops before I could enjoy them. Now that more homes have been built around us I thought I'd give it one more try. Daffodils are not deer food so they survive but my tulips, roses and some of my other flowers draw the deer into the yard for midnight snacks.
Also this past week, I looked out while having my morning coffee and behold a circle of ghosts had taken over one flower bed. We have really special neighbors and they surprised us and made the Halloween decoration. Isn't it darling!
With no stamping, creating or having fun in the art arena, I have some catch up projects. I am making some charms....a challenge for me because I don't do jewelry so my imagination has been stretched to think of some other project that would resemble a charm but not involve solder or glass. I have a silver charm bracelet with special trinkets collected over a long period of time. They are small; do you know how hard it is to make a "small" charm? My creations will not be as tiny, but they will hang like an ornament so I'll call them charms.
Have a great week everyone.

How lucky you are to have such wonderful neighbors! I spent the day carving our pumpkin, hanging spider webs and twisting a black garland into a spider…I do hope you post pictures of your charms too! I am sure they are beautiful!
