A Wonderful Swap!

Sheila
over at
sent this wonderful collection for me.
We agreed to swap the centerpiece for some painted items.
And she sent that cute little Halloween arrangement along extra
and
the pumpkin for me to create something also.
I love everything!
I have her painted items ready to mail.
I am a little behind from fair week.
They are going out today though.
Stop by her blog and link to her selling blog,
she has wonderful items!
Thanks Sheila!
I love it all!


A few days before the fair,
I was frantically painting picnic tables.
A yearly event.
This one appeared for me!
What a surprise!
I painted it,
it sat at the fair all week.

And now it resides on my deck!

All the kids names are on it.
Wonder when I am going to have to sand it and add another?




Someone put a sticker on it.
Not a happy moment!

My whole house smells like dust.
I never thought I would be glad to see so much rain coming,
but I sure will be glad to get rid of the dust smell.

And the Earthquake.
I didn't feel it.
Wish that I would have.

Plenty of people did though,
It's a little scary.

And one last thought.

Today is the day that Tyler goes to school all day.
What a change this is going to be.
He has been at work with us since he was born.
This is going to be tough!

LOVE those arrangements from Sheila. I've been drooling over her box arrangements with the candles. I might have to get one for myself...
Your picnic table is awesome! I love the kids' names on it. And the sticker would have made my head spin around a little.

Cathy I'm so glad the box got there ok and that you like what I created for you! Heaven knows I don't paint so I had to send along the paper mache pumpkin knowing you'd do something with! Couldn't pass it up at GW for .25!
The bench you painted is so sweet! What a special piece that will be on your deck. Plenty of room to add more names. . . . .
I hope you have a restful week and you get time to enjoy some quiet time. If there is such a thing!
Blessings and thanks for doing the swap with me.
Hugz,
Sheila

Love the table, sorry about the sticker.
Can't wait to hear about the first full day of school. I wonder who this will be harder for, him or you.
