Hello!! Welcome to my contribution to the Hallowe'en Trick or Treat Mystery Phrase Hop, hosted by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching! I'll scare...errrr....share some spooky stitching with you, along with a letter, and a link to the next blog! You collect all the letters and guess the mystery phrase!! Doesn't that sound like fun?

Fall has definitely found its way to the camp . . .

I love the changing leaves! We have such a variety of trees, we get all kinds of color when the season arrives!

I love to decorate seasonally, and this is my favorite time ...

Halloween Trick or Treat Bag Tutorial from Tea Rose Home

Trick or treat! I can't believe we are already entering October. The year flew by so quickly and it has been a bit chilly where I live. I wanted to share a quick, useful and fun Halloween project using my Sashiko machine. Of course you could make this project with your regular sewing machine, but I wanted to showcase Sashiko stitches with this project. Are you ready?

grand ol' time . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

So with a crew far away in California, and a crew kinda doing their own thing this year, Todd and I just chilled (on the boat on the lake) and let the pictures of the good times roll in! First, I had delivered the placemats for the local crew . . .

I got a good one of the girls (well, two of them ... Evey had a headache that evening, poor dear) and a good one of the placemats. So you get to see them both.

Before I get too far into the Halloween antics, let me also remark that first and foremostly ...

It's BIRTHDAY weekend!! Hip, hip!! The fun started Thursday evening when I pulled up and there were two beautiful planters of my favorite fall flowers . . .

MUMS! Aren't they pretty? Todd knows me so well!

Friday we hit the lake around 11:30. Even the fish must have known it was my birthday weekend! I actually pulled out my pole (Todd was catching them hand over fist, so to speak) and I did well.

I caught about eight (to Todd's twenty, but who's counting?). Mine were GOOD sized!

The heron even squawked out a birthday greeting. ;)

This is going to be another photo-heavy post; I've had lots going on! We can only carry over 40 hours of vacation time into the new year, and I realized here it was late in October, and I had over 80 hours--I needed to burn some time! And since we get two weeks over the Christmas holiday, I don't need it for then. So I took Monday and Tuesday and enjoyed another five day weekend. Bliss!

I did so much I'm going to have to split it over a couple of posts. Don't laugh. Sunday was ...
