Whew! That was a perfect Halloween!
We had a great time...we stayed outside for as long as we could (a cold front brought rain and colder weather to us), but with our backyard all decorated, we had the kids come into the yard to get their treats and the parents all had fun w/the decorations - some even took PICS in front of the pumpkin patch! Love it!
I think we had more fun than the kids did...I watched the movie on the computer (one kid said rather enthusiastically "That's Michael Myers!"- he obviously knew his Halloween movie trivia!), everyone petted Bagheera, someone even asked if he was a dog or a cat...TOO funny! He was happy on my lap, which I covered with my poncho to keep my legs warm...
We finally closed the gates, but continued giving out candy thru the front door and things were wrapped up and we were eating pizza and watching football by 8:30...all in all, we have about 40lbs of candy left - so guess what will be coming in your bead packages again! I can send melty chocolate during the cooler winter months, just not from March-Sept cause it will be liquid mess if you received it during those months...Halloween candy for all!!!
And if you haven't already checked, I snuck a couple of sets onto the Ready For Pickin' page, but they are already sold...remember, sometimes I go 'stealth' and post stuff there to make it a little easier for you to buy, since its such a frenzied free-for-all at other times...
Speaking of which, (witch?- Halloween is ovah, move on Donner) I am working on a new strand of beads that I REALLY like, but only have 5 done, so after silversmithing this morning, I'll be coming back to make more...I can encase these using the Gaffer clear, which is nice and shiny, and hope to have plenty to offer this week..I thought I'd get stuff done last night, and then d'oh! I forgot I shoulda done it during the day, and well, we all know my hands don't work well during daylight...so hang tight, I'll have something for ya this week, no doubt...
I am LOVIN' this time change, its not even 8:00am yet, but I'm wide awake and ready to go...the Spring time change always kicks my hiney...I wish we didn't have to change at all like folks in Indiana and Arizona...good job kids!
So, does this mean its non-stop Christmas now? I noticed Christmas carol song adverts on tv last night (not like they haven't already been shown, but I don't count those in Sept when its 108 outside! you might as well be advertising for Easter at that point, its crazy hot here so you aren't influencing anyone)...its only 48 outside right now, not exactly snow weather...and its supposed to be in the low to mid 80's this week...don't sing those carols to me, i'm not listening...
