So, of course, I must begin by saying…

 

This is part of a vignette I have in my family room that I never got around to sharing this year, so I thought I would least use it to send you…

Happy Halloween greetings!

Halloween is also a big deal in this house, because the day before, is this girl’s birthday.

 

So, my second Happy, is to my girl for her 11th birthday.

There was a slight glitch in plans for her party.

In the form of 16” of snow.

 

Never expected to wake up on her birthday to this.

Since she was scheduled to have some friends sleep over the night before, we had to cancel.

She was disappointed, but handled it so well.

I am so impressed with the young lady she is becoming.

I am so proud to be her Mom.

My third happy comes in the form of a pink ukulele.

 

Doesn’t every girl need one?

Last week, when I participated in the show in Lafayette, I did some birthday shopping and this lovely item came from the Rose Petal Porch.

It is just the push I need to finally finish her room.

I figure I got an extra week till her party happens so that is my sign to get her room FINALLY done this week!

Thanks for stopping by and hope your day is great and filled with lots of Treats and just a few tricks!
