In Monday’s post I shared with you that I had covered up a decorating faux pas with a paper rosette. The Paper Rosettes are so fun and take just minutes to make. Supplies and Tutorial You will need: Three pages from a book. (For the rosettes I’ve shown it was an average sized paperback.) A hot glue gun (Although you could use regular glue and a clothespin to hold the pages in place while drying.) A bone folder (To help create a crisp crease/fold.)

A Spooktacular Setting
I don’t think I have ever blogged about my neighborhood during Halloween. We are blessed to live in a cul ~ de ~ sac of kindness. Phyllis always sets up a candy station in her front yard first. Ponce plays music all night long and Alan delivers refreshments via a wagon and a cooler. It’s so much fun that my kids actually prefer to remain in “the circle” and pass out candy then go begging for it door to door. Every year I make a little something special for the neighborhood kids.

Spooktacular Gardens
While we were in California our dear friend took the opportunity to find us a bit of fall. A visit to Roger’s Garden’s, in Corona Del Mar, did not disappoint. There were acres and acres of the prettiest outdoor displays I have ever encountered. Bubbling fountains… …glorious flora and fauna…. … as well as a clear blue sky left me feeling very peaceful as we strolled the pea graveled walkways. But boil, boil, toil and trouble lurked around the corner in Blackstone Theater. ... View the Post
Holiday Rooooooad!
Who loved the 1980’s classic theatrical gem National Lampoon’s “Vacation”? Sweet Boy and I recently hit the Holiday Rooooooad! We were on a quest to go to see dear friends and visit Legoland during his fall break. The boy LOVES his lego’s and was beyond excited. Remember the scene when Clark finally ends his horribly disastrous drive across the country only to discover that Wally World was closed? It’s really not so funny when it happens in real life and you have a tearful 10-year-old ... View the Post
