Halloween crafts--I have so many craft ideas! Thank you Pinterest and YouTube!
I have a mummy wreath started, planning a Beetlejuice one. I bought pool noodles to make a candle thing with tea lights. I may do a skull topiary with that too. I want to do a little skeleton party scene and some haunted houses. I also saw a tutorial on making corn maze for my village, which I've wanted to do for a long time but didn't know how. I have bought so much stuff from Dollar Tree and just need to spend time time actually putting things together.
Singing--I love to sing and dance but don't do either one as often as I'd like. I was a first soprano in like 8th grade and by the time I finished HS I was an alto. I have no idea how I sang soprano! Anyway, I can still carry a tune but I've never had an exactly pleasant voice. My mom loved to sing too. It broke her heart when the ALS took that away from her and she had to stop singing in the church choir.
Laura, I love that you send cards to your nieces and nephews for the start of school. I'm so terrible. One of my nephews graduated from HS the end of June and I finally just got his gift card on Wednesday and it's still sitting on the counter with his card that I bought in April! I made burrito bowls for the first time a couple weeks ago. Hubby was not impressed. To be fair I didn't realize I had REFRIED black beans instead of just black beans. He thought they were disgusting. I thought they were fine, but not in the bowls. I liked the bowls and would do them again but plan for them. They were a whim bc I had cilantro left from smthg else and decided I wanted cilantro lime rice. I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip. I know how disappointing it is when that happens. Hope you get to take it at a later time.
Paula, I've been trying to do toe yoga twice a day. I can do the one where you set the little toe down first and then each in succession but I can't get it the other way with the big toe down first! In Jill Miller's Yoga Tune UP DVD feet and ankles section she says you can use your hands to start out to teach the toes what to do. So every few days I'm trying to do 10 reps of that one since it seems impossible! MY FIL only lives about an hour from the ND Ren fest so it wasn't bad at all since we were already up there to see him. I'm not setting any decorations out yet, just crafting new things, some of which I've had ideas for for a couple years now. Your purse saga sounds frustrating! I hope you can find the right one, Ms. Goldilocks.
Anita, glad you got to message with Adelija. I can't imagine how quiet it got around your house when your social butterfly went home!
We went to the Ren fest today and had a good time. I may be there the 27th too! Wouldn't it be funny if we crossed paths and never even knew it? There are quite a few empty booths this year, which made us sad. So glad your financial meeting with the co-op was an easy one. It has to feel good to know you're prepared in retirement. I've always wondered, what is the circus you talk about?
I need to get to bed. We were up at 5:50 to get ready and get to fest on time so it's been a long day! But I always seem to miss posting before the new week's thread goes up so I thought I would try tonight! All my other threads are monthly (or one is quarterly-ish) so I tend to forget this one is weekly.
