Texans Lost...

The Houston Texans lost their first game of the season on Sunday. Yes, Charley was disappointed. But the Aggies won! So that made for a good Saturday. We had a party at our house Saturday night with some of our favorite people, the humidity is low and there was no storm within 48 hours of us. What more could one want? Saw both our children this weekend. Life is good. It was also a great mail day on Saturday!!!!!

More about that in the next post.

Front Doors...what's hanging there?

It's that time.......actually it is almost past that time - but it is definitely appropriate to change the door decor!!! Above is what is hanging there now. It's been there since July and I think it's time for FALL!!! I haven't dug out last year's fall door decor.... I keep thinking I'll do something different. Look at what I found on Heather Bullard's blog! And she gives a tutorial. I think I may give that a try. The hardest part is I have to get some chicken wire.... I can do that. What's on your door? Please...don't judge me by my door.....the painters and door refinishers will arrive soon!

But I think these above are a nice group and maybe they are some you haven't seen. (there are only two Silver Bellas in the group above...see if you can pick them out! Silver Bellas are not allowed to guess. There will be a prize!!! There might be 3 Silver Bellas...need to check on that.)

Jeanie

at The Marmelade Gypsy gave me this award! Isn't she sweet... you really need to go visit her. She is one of those people that I just met online one day....stumbled upon her on someone else's blog and we have some things in common..... so we keep in touch! Aren't those some of the greatest blessings - the unexpected finds!

So...I am supposed to pass this award on.... so here goes:

Anna Tremblay's Nest Happenings! My sweet, sweet girlfriend that moved away from me last year.

Sarah's Joy for the Journey! She is a soulmate... I feel sure.

Natalea's Kandeland! Of course!!!! My Silver Bella BFF!

Julia's Miz Juney - one of my new Silver Bella Buddies - haven't met yet....but she just lives on the other side of town from me. (Houston is BIG)

Nathalie's An Artist's Legacy - only one of my bestest ever online friends!

Katie's Ragmuffin Gal - a new friend this year - and such a sweet, giving person.

Owl Inchies and Glitter!

I really have been doing some art stuff....just a little here and a little there. So finally took some pictures today. Above are my owl inchies for a swap on Christian Paper Artists Yahoo Group. Have to send in 5, so the guy in the bottom right that is glared is for me to keep. My worktable is covered - which I know you find hard to believe - I'm slowly working on a couple of glitter houses to send in to the above yahoo group for a flat glitter house swap. The recipient will glue the edges together and put the roof on. I'm also slowly working on pennants for the Autumnal Banner swap on the same list - and I'm the hostess for that one. I love pennants! Great shape and so celebratory - doncha think? And then there is this. Sometimes I make what I call "warm-ups" just to get me going. Can't decide if I should add something hanging off the bottom. I mean - it's a "warm-up" for crying out loud. But I'll probably send it as a RAK - I'm obligated to send one more off my rak list by the end of October. So...that's what I've been up to. That and going to the blasted Physical Therapist for my rotator cuff. He said today that he thinks I need an MRI. My doctor was waiting to see how I did in PT. Well...... my pain is actually abit worse. Today Peggy (PTA) did put one of those tape braces on me. So now I'm cool like Kari Walsh. I'm going to wait and post this Wednesday - I already posted today - don't want to strain another muscle.

Bells, bells, bells!!!

Am I the only one that wants one of those hats? I know I could get a lot of wear out of it. If you see them show up on Ebay - let me know!!!! I love bells. Ask my daughter... I'd be shaking my head all the time.

Actually, I think I could use the boots, too. I go to a lot of events. hee hee!!!

Hope you saw these girls in the Closing Ceremonies at the Olympics!
