Long time no blog. So much has happened since the beginning of the year. DH and I own rentals and on Jan. 1 a thirteen year tenant came to me and told me she was moving….what a shock! When we went in to clean to our surprise there were so many things that needed to be done that it took us over three months to complete it. The thing is, she never complained and only called me when it was bad enough to call. The small things that needed to be done ended up being big things in the end!! So between everyday living and routines, renovating and spring coming on, that meant flower beds and garden planting, that is where I have been….living a jampacked life, like the rest of you….. time has passed me by and here it is Fall….whewwww! what a busy and fast year!!</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/TK_pg0KNlaI/AAAAAAAABLU/OFhOHYU2XpI/s1600-h/crowdivider07%5B3%5D%5B2%5D.gif"><img title="crowdivider07[3]" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" height="51" alt="crowdivider07[3]" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/TK_phSrpXjI/AAAAAAAABLY/Eus5sZqgd30/crowdivider07%5B3%5D_thumb.gif?imgmax=800" width="240" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>I have missed blogging, although I am a newbie and haven’t blogged much, it is fun!! I have to admit I almost forget a lot of it. There are some changes and not being that great at all of this I did play around and kinda messed up my template….I will get it all figured out eventually…lol. Practice makes perfect :)</p> <p>In the meantime, I have loved reading all of your wonderful blogs and seeing what everyone is doing, getting great ideas and cool crafts, I have been checking in with everyone. All of you have been very busy too!!! </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/TK_phhKUgHI/AAAAAAAABLc/Xw9e1JzE7fM/s1600-h/crowdivider07%5B3%5D%5B5%5D.gif"><img title="crowdivider07[3]" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" height="51" alt="crowdivider07[3]" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/TK_ph3_7bmI/AAAAAAAABLg/yG7kh1Ibuto/crowdivider07%5B3%5D_thumb%5B1%5D.gif?imgmax=800" width="240" border="0" /></a> </p> <p></p> <p>Today I took my Mom and off we went to the Meadowbrook Gourd Farm.

Here in Pa. it is so summer like, I do wonder though where are the April showers that bring May flowers???? All of the May blooms are here and starting to leave already, none the less I am enjoying the beauty of the blooms after what seems like a long winter. Oh wait….we had a thunder storm this evening. I did take advantage of the winds that were blowing the storm our way today and hung my clothes out…they smelled so good when I took them off the line. The heavy rain came and knocked the petals off of the flowering trees, so I am glad I took the pictures that I did today… I have to warn you this is a picture heavy post.</font></p> <p><font face="HavixHmk" size="5"></font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/S76tsYbImsI/AAAAAAAABCM/61cCPDLNwUk/s1600-h/101_2066%5B3%5D.jpg"><img title="101_2066" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="200" alt="101_2066" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/S76ts2aYsrI/AAAAAAAABCQ/dnNVQVU5Dhw/101_2066_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="260" border="0" /></a> </p> <p> <font face="HavixHmk" size="5">Red bud trees are one of my favorite early blooms…love the color, as Dan at  <a href="yesterdayoncemore.blogspot.com">yesterdayoncemore.blogspot.com</a> posted about the color purple.

November is Full Beaver Moon~meaning, this was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm furs. Another interpretation that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter….burrrrrr! One other reference is Frosty Moon….cute name!  There is a name for the moon for every month of the year. Do you know what December’s moon is named??? Cold Moon~ Fitting for December. I just found this interesting and wanted to share. I hope all of you are staying warm and cozy.</font></em></p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango"> </font></em></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SvD_rBqZmZI/AAAAAAAAAlM/B3syxokEPxM/s1600-h/beaver%20moon%5B12%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="beaver moon" border="0" alt="beaver moon" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SvD_rbrYSGI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/CxacEvdkYGE/beaver%20moon_thumb%5B10%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" height="180" /></a> </p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango">Beaver Moon</font></em></p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango"></font></em></p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango"></font></em></p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango">I am Thankful for all of God’s beautiful creations!</font></em></p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango"></font></em></p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango">I am working on a few re-do’s and hope to be able to share soon.</font></em></p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango"></font></em></p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango"></font></em></p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango"></font></em></p> <p><em><font size="5" face="Carmine Tango">Have a great week!

I wanted to share a couple of small makeovers that I have done. I had posted a small firkin lamp that I had bought at the TS and it had a name painted on the front. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SuUhA6iXFPI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/ErPgLHqX8kU/s1600-h/firkin%20lamp%201%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="firkin lamp 1" border="0" alt="firkin lamp 1" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SuUhBW70S2I/AAAAAAAAAjU/RxjfmBvO9rk/firkin%20lamp%201_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="153" height="240" /></a> </p> <p>BEFORE</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SuUhBsr07WI/AAAAAAAAAjY/ASm2llKXprs/s1600-h/firkin%20lamp%20after%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="firkin lamp after" border="0" alt="firkin lamp after" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoaXih470L9eY_iTHYZXgQDPsQMTztTVxVzU8NgI1-umMVYvl7WX9Cmi1FJ4tUSznCipXXPnzYhNWxiPMgG1qp8j-9N-YKmddGw1SETTyTLpqEfK3FS5k5wicQZh7l2q6vWEtvlHFWMu8p/?imgmax=800" width="154" height="240" /></a> </p> <p>AFTER</p> <p>I sanded and then wiped on Minwax English Chestnut stain, it turned out very nice. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SuUhCRef5aI/AAAAAAAAAjg/79ZXQ6Jfe7I/s1600-h/firkin%20lamp%20after%20on%20table%202%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="firkin lamp after on table 2" border="0" alt="firkin lamp after on table 2" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SuUhCyk-MnI/AAAAAAAAAjk/O1m_A9C2Zn8/firkin%20lamp%20after%20on%20table%202_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="204" height="240" /></a>  </p> <p>I also found this candy dispenser at the TS. I had seen this on someone else’s blog (sorry, I can’t remember who’s blog),  I stained with English Chestnut and then painted with a coat of Barn Red, then top coat of Black, sanded and then finished with Briwax. I didn’t take a before picture. I have taken two different pictures with one large Ball jar and the other with a small Ball jar. I also have put a battery votive inside the Ball jar and like the effect, I think it would make a nice holiday display with a few pieces of faux candy around the votive. I didn’t have any at the time of the pictures.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SuUhDCPh6kI/AAAAAAAAAjo/a1lB-Qh7dEA/s1600-h/m%26m%20candy%20dispenser%20after%202%5B10%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="m&m candy dispenser after 2" border="0" alt="m&m candy dispenser after 2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SuUhDiQicWI/AAAAAAAAAjs/JqBZ12aGINI/m%26m%20candy%20dispenser%20after%202_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="167" height="240" /></a> </p> <p>Large jar</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SuUhD7LwSwI/AAAAAAAAAjw/8rGMZIrYbzM/s1600-h/m%26m%20candy%20dispenser%20after%20sm%20jar%201%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="m&m candy dispenser after sm jar 1" border="0" alt="m&m candy dispenser after sm jar 1" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/SuUhEQK0fQI/AAAAAAAAAj0/hRkrJIU1eig/m%26m%20candy%20dispenser%20after%20sm%20jar%201_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="177" height="240" /></a> </p> <p>Small jar with the battery votive (I must be leaning when taking my pictures..lol)</p> <p>I also found this little Jack O Lantern on a block of wood at the GW….isn’t he cute??

It gives off such a soft glow…love it :)</font></p> <p align="left"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Stu4F-jRiPI/AAAAAAAAAgI/ENqbiDwc3w4/s1600-h/spool%20lamp%20marriage%201%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="spool lamp marriage 1" border="0" alt="spool lamp marriage 1" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Stu4GbIU-xI/AAAAAAAAAgM/gdSeyS2R04k/spool%20lamp%20marriage%201_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="158" height="244" /></a> </p> <p align="left"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Stu4GrRBqJI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/Jjyb-XHIXhw/s1600-h/berry%20vine%5B19%5D.gif"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="berry vine" border="0" alt="berry vine" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Stu4HcUsGJI/AAAAAAAAAgU/fAlwuRl67bs/berry%20vine_thumb%5B9%5D.gif?imgmax=800" width="377" height="27" /></a></p> <p align="left"><font size="4">I think that is all I’ll post tonight for the TS finds.

I only have a few electrical outlets to use, the space is very inefficient, barely any counter space and cabinet space is minimum to say the least!! Add to the fact that I love to decorate and display my collections with not having much space equals..Clutter!!!! When my fridge went on the blink and it finally was time to buy a new one, that lead to a total rearrangement of my kitchen. Excitement was a understatement as I started to picture my '''new work space'' , purging was a must, not something that I like to do, but I knew had to be done. You can see in my before pictures that I really needed to remove some things.</font></em></p> <p align="center"><em><font size="4" face="CLARENCE">Here is the view coming into my kitchen from the back door </font></em></p> <p align="left"><em><font size="4" face="CLARENCE"> </font></em></p> <p align="left"></p> <p></p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:ac660007-7861-4783-bdd2-045989ccc00a" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/StfJdHFZo2I/AAAAAAAAAac/pb_ftb4XQV4/Kitchenbeforefridge18x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"><img border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/StfJdnm-3II/AAAAAAAAAag/tx4HBUSQe4s/Kitchenbeforefridge1.png?imgmax=800" width="335" height="266" /></a></div> <p></p> <p><em><font size="4" face="CLARENCE"></font></em></p> <p><em><font size="4" face="CLARENCE">Below is the new view and I really like it so much  better! The old fridge had to set in front of the front door because it was to big to be placed where it was suppose to be. (DH did not measure when we purchased the old side by side) I had to down size the new fridge to be able to get the right size for under my cabinets, so it is a adjustment for space, but I am not complaining..I love my new fridge! My other new piece is the step cupboard that I married together. The base was where I had my microwave setting and the top was my aquarium stand which was taking up space in the office and I couldn't figure out where it was going until the thought of setting it on top of my base cabinet was born and Walla!! a new piece and more storage!!

It has been a very blustery day here in Pa. today, things were blowing everywhere, I am happy to say that we did not have any damage and I didn’t lose any of my fall decorations…yay!! Other than the wind it was a nice Fall day!</p> <p>I took my Mother today and we went to a new TS. The first 200 customers received a $20.00 gift card. Well I have never been the first to any of these grand openings but today we made a plan and we were off at 7:30 this morning. Mom and I thought we would probably be back in line pretty far but to our surprise we one of the first there. We walked up to the door and were the third in line. I can’t believe it!! I guess the actual wait time was about a hour and 15 minutes. We did get our gift card and a real nice checkbook cover. It was great fun and we had fun chit chatting with the other ladies that came in line behind us. The wind was kind of a nuisance (you wouldn’t want to have a good hair day) but it was worth it!! Boy girls did I find the buys!!! I will share the pictures when I get them downloaded, but I had a GOOD day!!!</p> <p>I went to the Adams County Apple Harvest craft show on Sunday and had a good time there too. </p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:d0a4df20-ae50-44d2-be1d-97778a53be29" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KFeF37cI/AAAAAAAAAYo/FNEiaF6n9M0/apple%20harvest-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"><img border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KF8MiEGI/AAAAAAAAAYs/nNkhYQrsY0k/apple%20harvest.png?imgmax=800" width="335" height="252" /></a></div> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:bc3ff091-fd46-4c70-ab9d-0b8d2cde2188" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KGI3oYtI/AAAAAAAAAYw/xu46HBPXdZM/apple%20harvest%20crowd%2009-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"><img border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KGjtLNgI/AAAAAAAAAY0/H0iox8ueIIM/apple%20harvest%20crowd%2009.png?imgmax=800" width="335" height="210" /></a></div> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:37054914-9965-4fdb-b980-1171a9315209" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KGxmiTuI/AAAAAAAAAY4/-9A9kNjBjW4/apple%20harvest%20apples-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"><img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KHAE0EEI/AAAAAAAAAY8/plvfaIJvBaU/apple%20harvest%20apples.png?imgmax=800" width="335" height="270" /></a></div> <p></p> <p>They even had a Hay Mound for adults…..</p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:d142c307-9609-4b42-b07b-d4a57f9ee4ae" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KHvRPyFI/AAAAAAAAAZA/jXzzoCSozQE/apple%20harvest%20hay%20mound-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"><img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KHya4_EI/AAAAAAAAAZE/5sqGUAHk4Xw/apple%20harvest%20hay%20mound.png?imgmax=800" width="335" height="236" /></a></div> <p>not the kind of hay mound your were expecting????? lol</p> <p>I did purchase a few things, some of the vendors that I usually purchase from were not there :( so my pickens were slim!</p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:5c8b4434-71ad-4db4-89eb-7aa1ecf48994" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KICnfNdI/AAAAAAAAAZI/JF3hfDv56HE/Apple%20Harvest%20scarecrow-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"><img border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KI6UHwWI/AAAAAAAAAZM/iu4wfIuFCAk/Apple%20Harvest%20scarecrow.png?imgmax=800" width="335" height="237" /></a></div> <p>I bought this adorable small scarecrow, he fits perfect on top of my wall cupboard…isn’t he cute?</p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:2f3ddc9c-84b5-470a-9dee-7341a84c4458" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KJAthqsI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/6LntV52qw2c/Apple%20Harvest%20flowers-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"><img border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KKXZNEgI/AAAAAAAAAZU/Zc0mpQgIQk0/Apple%20Harvest%20flowers.png?imgmax=800" width="252" height="335" /></a></div> <p>Love these little felt flowers (the vase is a previous TS find), I believe I seen a tutorial for these on someone's blog, but they are cute!</p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:74b35677-b45e-4630-b4bb-a9ec13ea19da" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KKjzNHUI/AAAAAAAAAZY/AsNPYLEE-Po/apple%20harvest%20witch-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"><img border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1Kb1xEl9fD4/Ss1KLNNmaBI/AAAAAAAAAZc/R5-jjQ21l5k/apple%20harvest%20witch.png?imgmax=800" width="335" height="232" /></a></div> <p>I just couldn’t resist this sweet little Witch, just love her!</p> <p>Hubby and I ate to our hearts content…everything apple!

Blogger Issues<span style="color:#996633;">Hi Everyone! I am definitely having Blogger problems. I noticed from my last post that the picture did not upload. I have been trying and searching for a couple of days to solve this and I am getting nowhere! I was wondering if most of you use Live Writer? Being new at this I am a little intimidated by some of this. I am not sure if I did something wrong or it is Blogger's issues. I can not upload any pictures, it will not allow me to do anything but text, I can go to the upload box but is freezes and won't allow me to anything. I can't even search through my pictures to find what I want to try and upload.....frustrating!!! Can anyone give me some advice on how or what I should do???</span><br /><span style="color:#996633;"></span><br /><span style="color:#996633;">Thanks for any help you can give!</span><br /><span style="color:#996633;">Wanda</span>Wanda/Ridge Farm Nesting Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11030235150015650809noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5316863759833593826.post-62784026321265257522009-09-22T21:38:00.008-04:002009-09-22T21:59:18.114-04:00Happy Fall<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://localhost:4404/f2d562a760b73c1b8ec3a3612cf120a4/image/6b570cef675b75d.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://localhost:4404/f2d562a760b73c1b8ec3a3612cf120a4/image/6b570cef675b75d.jpg?size=320" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center">Just a short post to wish everyone a Happy Fall!

He can't get out of bed but he seems to be at terms with it better than I am. I so wish he could get up and move around, come to the dinner table with us, walk to the car and go for rides, just simply get outside. He always was a rough and tumble guy...never took any bones from anyone. A avid Harley man, he raised me on a motorcycle. I rode with my parents up till I was around 5, I then became to big to fit between them. That is how we rode and I loved it, I am so glad to have had that experience in my life.</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376279290011316866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 271px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh92UhNKEp0WPUrxuKPK_Ue6b9bC1clnxhUj8zZMZB_pg-yuLUmDKMmb0MpGwtKt7VH0LoL2aoqHfnFgbjMJ7RA4f5kJjGYX9fB1amAi4UPqskKROCUkeYs2S58BWVe6_jMjTrj3StnvUan/s320/Dad+Mom+and+Me.jpg" border="0" /> </div><div><br /><br /></div><div align="center">Dad, Mom & Me<br /></div><div align="center"><br />Aren't our outfits a blast???

My black re-do holds more of my girlie girl things too....I know I have a lot of things...lol....I'm not sure that this a permanent home for my re-do...I actually need a slightly larger one, so I am on the hunt for one already done (antique) or another project for me to do.</div><div> </div><div>Well I'm going to close for tonight. I hope all of you have a great September 1st and feel the air....it's coming!!!</div><div> </div><div>Until the next time</div><div>~Hugs~</div><div>Wanda</div><div><br /><br /> </div><div></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div>Wanda/Ridge Farm Nesting Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11030235150015650809noreply@blogger.com5
