It's noon and I'm still in my PJ's

I know I'm not alone...you too are still sitting at the kitchen table with your 2nd cup of coffee, still in you're pj's pecking away at your laptop. This is my favorite thing to do, it's my window to the outside world. I love the fact that you can push a button and find anything you want & a lot you DON'T! Yes, the house is a wreck, the grand kids are running up and down the hallway still on a Halloween candy high...but I wouldn't change a thing! And yes the pool is green and full of leaves, the garden needs cleaned up and put in a compost pile, the camper needs to be winterized before freezing temps burst the pipes, the chicken coop needs to be winterized as well so my girls don't get too cold at night and my kitchen re-do needs completing...oh well...maybe tomorrow! Oh, and I just committed to NaBloPoMo on BlogHer ( National Blog Posting Month)...a blog post a day for the month of November. Let's just see how this goes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I have posted the info. from Melissa Ford,   just click on the post below.                                                                                               ( I hope it's ok to do that!)
                                                                                   Thanks for looking, Nan H.

Halloween Fun!

What a fun night! Went to one of our local main street fall festivals for the first time...it was really nice. The kids went trick or treating on main street, played games and listened to music played by a DJ. Then woke up this morning to snow on the jack o lanterns!
I went as a kitty cat!

My daughter Magan & her fiance Steven with kids Jaedyn & Jaxen.
Woke up to snow on the jack o lanterns.

Picasa & Me!

Today I downloaded Picasa...and I have been on here for hours! But, I really like the ease of use...cause I ain't no techie! The only thing is, it didn't really have all the effects I am looking for. I want a really grainy, faded, antiqie look. I'm not sure yet the correct name for it, but I see it alot...and love it! Oh well, I will search around for more photo editing programs on the WWW! If anyone knows of a good, free program please leave a comment and let me know...
Thank you!

Shudder-Bug kinda day.


Today was such a beautiful fall day. I spent it with my aunt at her job at one of our local hospitals, the courtyard was just right outside her office and I had thought to bring my camera along....so glad I did! The sun was just starting to fade out of the shadows of the building and I had to rush out so I wouldn't miss the warm rays on the flowers and trees, oh, and the water fountain pools were beautiful. Before I knew it, I had snapped about 130 pictures. Now I'm no photographer by any means, but I do love to capture nature when I can. I hope to take a course soon. I see so many beautiful pictures on the blogs I frequent and I hope to learn how to be as good as them. So, here are a few of them...hope you like them...enjoy!

Snakes in the laundry room!

This is what was found on my washing machine today! After opening up our kitchen floor for some renovations this past April for a few days...we have had creepy crawlies, flying thingies, mice and now SNAKES!! My daughter went to grab something from the top of the washer and this is what she found. I googled it and I think it is a baby rat snake...probably here to rid me of my mice problem...so what do I get to rid me of my snake problem?

Rubber glove & flower pot makeover.

I can't take the credit for these cute little flower pots, they were the idea of my thrifty Mom. She cut the decorative band off of her rubber dish gloves and put them around those 4 inch plastic pots you buy your plants in at the garden centers. These cuffs were the perfect size for these 4 inch pots. I don't have the before pictures of the process so hopefully what I do have is self explanatory. Hope you enjoy!



Oh what a fun day @ The Farm Fresh Fair.

This post is a year late, but I just had to post these pics. from the https://www.facebook.com/raboncreekfarmfair  anyway...better late than never! I love what I do....and I love that people love what I do enough to purchase my items! A big thank you to all who did...here are a few pics from the sale.
