At least, that's what I think. I'm a sucker for Halloween candy the day after. In fact, as my daughters were about 8 and 9, I started a tradition of having a family harvest party the day after Halloween. They did have the opportunity to trick or treat but in October, it's so cold that it's hard to feel any joy walking from houses that are 1/2 acres apart. The family harvest party consisted of buying at least 15.00 worth of candy discounted by 70 to 85%. The girls never saw what kind I had bought but they knew that it was usually something good and quite a lot of it. Then, my then husband and I would hide the candy all over the living room, family room, and kitchen while the girls stayed in their room listening for us to yell, "Come and get it!" They would scramble all over the place, lifting up vases, looking under the table and on doorway ledges until we were certain that they had exhausted the hiding places. Then, they dump it all and we'd count and find...

I love keepsakes and sentimental things too.
Let's see, today, hmmmm...I tried a new dish at an Italian restaurant. And I'm out of town, but still blogging on my stepfather's new laptop-a slight adjustment from using my desktop at home.
When I get home, I may come back for another visit to play around with your video software. :)
You have such unique ideas and I love those dolls your sister made. So adorable and what a wonderful keepsake.
I haven't been very creative lately but I have done handmade gifts in the past before I had my daughter. I can remember giving a girlfriend a mason jar full of all the ingredients and recipe for cookies (I think), I remember purchasing a torn up 1950's linen tablecloth (for 10 cents) with the most gorgeous pattern on it, I cut it up and sewed it into dish towels. My mom still uses them.
Gee, maybe I should do a video too!
Loved watching you! Hope you do more for us!
This was a fun post that let us put not only a picture but a voice with your blog.
Here's wishing your adorable self a great day with many blessings!!!
I'll be back....for a longer visit.
I was creative Saturday--we painted and completely re-decorated my son's room. It turned out great and he's really happy. Amazing what a coat of paint does for a room.
btw... I love that family frame behind you!
I tried to be creative on Saturday. I was looking for yarn to knit a sweater for my sister for Christmas. I could not find what I needed, which was frustrating, but I will look some more this week.
I'm all about creating gifts and finding something special for someone that has a sentimental value. Too much is spent on How Much something costs vs. what does the gift mean. Gifts are meant to have a meaning, especially at Christmas. Love the hand
prints of your girls...I wish I had thought to do that when my boys were little.
I made beef stroganoff on Saturday using a new recipe. It was nice but it was different...I'm not sure I'd make it that way again, but it was my husband's request for his birthday dinner.
