Happy Halloween and Some Belated Thank You's and Swap from Cindi

 Wanted to stop in and wish you all a Happy Halloween.With the storm I'm not sure if we will have trick or treat this evening.I'll be making the girls and Jayson goodie bags.Hubby and I are going to lunch and will probly go to the antique mall to browse....Well it's been forever since I won something but seems I went on a lucky steak.Above the Jack candle holder by Jody He is just awesome and I'm going to let him out till Thanksgiving because I love seeing his whimsical face.Even hubby thought he was wonderful.I am truely honored to own one of Jody's OOAK creations....

 Next up is this wonderful snowman from Vicky Vicky is very generous and is always sharing here talents.

 Brenda over at the Rusty Thimble hosted a multi bloggers giveaway and I was the lucky winner of this santa from Lisa   Thank all of you wonderful artist for your sharing.I am blessed to own this special pieces..

Next up is my Thanks for Giving Swap hosted by Wendy  My partner was Cindi  She is such a kind hearted person.She sent some wonderful goodies.I am one of those people who decorates for Thanksgiving so was just tickled with the Turkey's.I love the little tealight holder he'll be on the riser display on the kitchen table.Of course Cindi wanted to make sure I was happy with everything and include a bag of my favorite Dove caramel chocolates (they are not in the pic because of course I had to eat some right away..smile..)  Thank You Cindi for being my partner and the sweet gifts you sent.Yours is going out this afternoon.. Thanks to Wendy for putting it together.Also thanks for all the girls who emailed and left comments as we weathered the storm.Our little house was spared any damage and we luckily had electric.I know a few of our neighbors had some slight damage.I'll be going out to Grandma's old farmhouse today to make sure she didn't have any damage like to the roof or trees since she can't really check it.Will also be getting my blood results back today.I guess I should have just titled this The Big Thank You Post.LoL..Warm Blessings!~Amy

So far so good

As you can see the dogs are all snuggled in for Sandy.Poor things I hate to have to make them go out in it..smile...We've only lost electric so far for a few minutes.Fingers crossed because there are over 3000 in our county without electric and they say if it goes out might be a week till they get it back.So far we are weathering the storm ok.Today still high winds,rain and they say snow.Alot of roads flooded and closed as well.Most of the local goverment offices are closed till at least wednesday.I was surprised the mail went.Poor mailman out walking all day in this just brutal weather.I certainly would have waited for my mail,I didn't even want to go to the mailbox sent hubby..smile....I will leave the blog sale up for today yet.I know a few emailed and said they were preping for the storm and wanted to look.There are 3 pages just go to the bottom and hit older post..Also girls in the ornie swap I understand if you are a few days behind with the storm,I would not go out in it either,so just make sure it's out by thursday..Hope all are safe and snug were you are.Warm Blessings!~Amy.

A few things

 Happy Saturday! We are preparing for the storm coming so been busy.We are expecting very high winds, heavy rain and they say possibly snow.Funny last year we got our first snow Halloween.I'm not to worried except about the freezers as I don't have a generator.But otherwise if the power goes out for a few days we are good.We have a gas stove.We have a small gas heater on the sunporch that will also keep the living room warm so we can camp out in there if need be.Plus have plenty of battery and real candles...The pic above I took on my country drive a few days ago.Headless horseman on a giant horse.The horse used to be a advertising piece,you can also see all the pretty colors on the mountains in the background...I also wanted to give you a heads up, I'll be posting a blog sale this evening and tomorrow.Lots of good prims at fair prices..I have this antique childs set going....
