Magic Wand

No it is not from Harry Potter…but it is fun.

I know, another gadget….here is what it can do. It will scan anything that is flat. I am using it right now for photo albums, but I see all kinds of ways to use it. Since I am working with our family photos, it is scanning them one by one and it takes loads of time. This way I scan in seconds, then put it on the computer. It has a case, you can take it with you shopping or anywhere.

Me, my cousin Lee and Pip the pup….1960’s

I scanned a lot of photos last night. It does a good job.

 

It is going to be a long night on the eastern coast states….

 

It seems far away since I am in Idaho…but no matter where we are this is a very sad time. I probably will be glued to the TV a lot of the night. Sending prayers!!!

What are you afraid of ???????

Yes, this is a question just for you…I know we are a little mature for Halloween, but most people have something they would rather not deal with out of fear!

As you can see I have a thing about spiders. Not just the big one, the tiny ones you can hardly see.

So with that said, what are you afraid of ???

Saturday is Bazaar Day!!!

Arney made the stand for the bracelets. I thought it turned out nice.It will be fun to know how many sell.

The walls are textured, now to put on the window trims, baseboards and paint. That sounds so easy, but there has been nothing easy about doing this large room. All are trees are turning…it is cold.Pumpkins everywhere, with loads of yard Halloween art.Snow on the mountains…everyone is talking about skiing. And all I can think of is getting my new bed upstairs with all my new bedding.You may have wondered, where are we sleeping right now? Well Sweet friends we are on the sectional in the living room….

When we started the remodel it was hot:)

More oldie but goodies from the past “Halloween”

I really like these old pictures, and I hope you did too. If you like, please use them for a project you might like to do. Happy Halloween!!!!

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

 

This table was painted by…Nana Diana at Nana Diana Takes a Break…she is a sweet gal that is very creative.She shared that she used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. And my thoughts went directly to the furniture painting I am planning for the Loft.

Thank You Diana!!!!

I went on line and no stores carried it in my area, so I ordered it. It came yesterday.

If you are interested in this paint, just google Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I will let you know how I like it. I plan to do my picket headboard with this paint.It should be really good for shabby chic looks. It works indoor, outdoor, and on almost every finish. No sanding, clean the piece you are wanting to paint and then paint. If you want a white wash look you can add water to the paint. 

The work continues on the Loft. We will be texturing the walls this weekend. Then we will paint walls and trims. I can really see it all coming together now and I love it already.

Happy fall :)

Remodel continues…

After eye surgery and letting it heal. Arney is back at work on our Loft. I thought it would be fun to share what I think is a great shot of my guy at work.

Have a great week!

“Say Cheese!”

Here are some of the tags I made for Bazaar…

 

I still haven’t counted them all. This is just a little peek!!!

The Witching Hour…

Tis the witching hour of night,
Or bed is the moon and bright,
And the stars they glisten, glisten,
Seeming with bright eyes to listen
For what listen they?

I went searching through the Ole neighborhoods. And I do mean Ole…Remember when you would have been really shocked if you had seen a pretty Pink Princess. And scared to death if you ran into Madonna the material girl. And half out of your mind if you had Harry Potter’s gang come around the corner.

So to end this little Boo!

Here are a few pictures just for you….

Here is four…watch out there are more….

Trick or Treat….give us something good to eat! We are starving to death!!!

Piggy, wiggly and she came along…What’s in the bag??

 You should see our Mom!!!!

I am taking the bucket!!!! And this bat to keep the other little monster’s out of my bucket full of candy!!!!

Number 5….Little Betty is always  scary…she bites!

We didn’t egg your house, I think it was a couple of mouse's!!!!

 

Do we look like egg throwing Mice…we are very nice:)

Oh Ma! “this doesn’t look like the Lone Ranger!”

  Who are those clowns???

I hope you like my little tail.

My favorite Halloween was when I had three different costumes and got 3 big grocery paper sacks of candy. I must of been 8, and it was my Dad’s idea. TEE-HEE
