~THANK YOU & MY FALL DECOR~

A BIG HUG and THANK YOU to DEB aka GarageSaleGal and to Rachel for their SWEET Hostess gifts for hosting my 1st ever swap. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.....I LOVE IT ALL!!!! Above, from Deb...A cute Halloween Kitchen Towel, 2 DARLING hand made cards from here, A YUMMY Orange Hot Chocolate pack, Pumpkin tissues and wrapped up so cute with sprinkles of Halloween confetti and ORANGE tissue paper. WHAT FUN THAT WAS TO OPEN!!!
THANK YOU DEB....YOU ARE SUCH A SWEETIE!!!
Above is one of my Cupboards filled with my Fall/Halloween Goodies. THE GLITTER STAR with the HAPPY GIRL WITCH (and polka dots of course) was a gift from my SWEET ANNA from MY FLOWER BED when I was in California this past January. THANK YOU ANNA!!!! EVERYONE WANTS THAT STAR!!!!
Part of the 9 foot long fireplace mantel, ready for fall
I made the sign above....I painted the background BLACK, then hand lettered PUMPKINS myself, and of course, I can't leave well enough alone.....I had to add POLKA DOTS to it....I think that topped it off just right!!!!
I don't know if everyone knows how IN LOVE with POLKA DOTS I am and here RACHEL (she doesn't have a blog yet...come girl, please get one....we would ALL love to see your talent, but I met her years ago and she has even been down here to visit me for the weekend with her hubby, she has an adorable family of BOYS!!!!) She made this POLKA-DOT KITTY CAT just for me!!!! THANK YOU RACHEL....She is right at home here and I get to look at her every single day!!!! YOU ROCK GIRLFRIEND!!!!


OKAY.....is that THE BEST Mr. PUMPKIN you have ever seen.....he is OVER 2 FEET TALL and FULL OF GLITTER and CREPE PAPER!!!! I found him at TJMaxx (I never get in there anymore) for only $16.95. He was the ONLY one they had and I knew he had to be the KING of my PUMPKIN COLLECTION.
HAPPY FALL EVERYONE...
I heard from Kristi for the last time for a while late last night when she landed in Colombia, South Carolina. It was almost 11pm their time and she sounded tired, excited and scared. Please say a prayer for here. I have no idea when I will get to hear her voice again.
Hugs and Love, Amy

Amy, what great goodies. I'm finishing up my closet for delivery tomorrow, then out comes my Halloween things. Mine are not vintage, but I like them and that's what counts. My porch needs repainting and I am just not up to that. Hope you get more goodies. I know when we did our swaps at my former MSN group, we always sent the hostess a gift. Love Ya, Pat

THANK YOU!!! for such a fun Halloween swap!
This too was my first swap. I was so happy to have Miss Rachel as my partner. I ADORE my kitty! I agree she needs to get together a blog. I'll enjoy this new friendship journey, with her!
I'm so behind on my blogging, so this is going to be a very busy week of catch up! One H-U-G-E!!!!! giveaway, two fall tutorials and a post of our beach trip. We just returned from the Oregon coast! ;O
Have a *sweet* day!
