I'm in Love with "Fall" Color and Seaglass Hunting

Don't you just love this time of year!!!!!.  You get just as much color this time of year as you do in spring. Just a different Color Palette. So much has been going on here. I've been rather busy with making cards, Halloween decorations, Baking, Sea glass hunting,  Organizing my Craft room/office/ dog lounge :)  But I haven't stopped noticing the beautiful color all around me in my own Garden. Yes, the pretty flowers from spring and summer are a beautiful memory in my mind's eye, but the color I'm seeing right  now just blows me away. The temperatures have been up and down but nothing to cold yet!!

And don't forget my other favorite thing: HALLOWEEN. Here is a Flag I've had forever:

This was a Beautiful Weekend and of Course I went "Sea glassing" with my favorite 2 people. The tides were way out on the beaches we went to so we were able to do alot of searching. I came away with some awesome finds and beautifully frosted pieces to add to my collection.......Here are a few:

I pick-up everything of interest to me while beaching. I found a beautiful fish lure and a (red) reflector. I yelled "I got Red" and everybody looked up. They should know me by now that I'm a jokester!!! Hey, it's red!! Nice pottery and beautiful Aquas and whites and greens, some are so dark and thick. Just like I like'em. Woo-Who what a nice haul for a great day at the beaches. Oh yeah, can't forget my rocks and shells and brick pieces. Why I don't know I just like them!!

And I found this really neat pottery/ceramic thingy. My husband thinks it's a thing to make fishing nets/knots something like a "Marlin Spike" it has "Germany" printed on the back? Any clues? Write down a comment and let me know.

Ok, that's enough excitement for one day. But I'll be back to show you some really cool Cards the girls and I have been working on. I just can't fit everything in right now. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.......Joyce

My how times FLIES!!!

Oh my Goodness what a Winter to remember and put down in the history books of Winters past! This statue of our Firefighter is a little over 3ft. high!! And with the blizzard winds the big shed was almost out of commision..

There is so much that has happened since the last time I blogged that I'll try not to make it- too long, too boring, too complicated or too much drama :) I think you will enjoy!

Ok, where we were last? Ok, I remember I was just starting out on my "Seaglass Adventures" with friends and long walks by myself. Above is a pic. of a Samuel Adams Mug with brown and white seaglass to look like a beer. I get bored alot:) I have collected alot of awesome pieces of glass and parts of bottles .(Haven't found that old bottle from the sea yet)! Still looking, but I did find an older model "Anheiser Beer Bottle". It figures I would find a beer bottle first-lol I don't even drink Beer-ugh but a nice fou-fou drink sounds good about now.....I will incorporate pics. of stuff as I go if that's ok, so you can get the whole picture-hey,hey

Ok, New Cool thing. Jerry and I escaped to "Disney Fort Wilderness Lodge" for the holidays this year. Thank Goodness it was right before Father Winter decided to dump 28" of snow our way the first time. Anywho- back to the Lodge. It was a beautiful, wonderful place to stay. It was a little chilly for Florida the first part of December but all in all it was a great time for us to have some down time together (rarely have this). Disney as always dresses up for the holidays and this time was no exception as usual. The big "Display Tree" in the lodge was absolutely beautiful, decorated with little tee-pee lights and canoes and drums and just everything, it must have been about 20ft tall. WOW. Will stay there again for sure. Oh yeah and it has it's own little "Guiser" that blows every hour. And as for the pool it was too cold to go in but was enjoyed by the locals (mallards). Ok next subject.....

Snowed in for a long time and haven't done much glassing until about a week ago. And I even went to the "2010 Philadelphia Internation flower Show". Their is a little slide on the side of my page for you to look at and enjoy some of my pics. Just wonderful day!!!!! And I so needed a "Flower Fix". Oh yeah, I got two pots of beautiful "Mini Dwarf Irises named Purple Gem" and 4 new "African Violets" one is yellow, I'm really syked about these.

So this is just a little of what's been happening in my world I have been doing some cards but I have to say I haven't been in the Card mode lately! Starting to pick up because of spring tho. Will post cards later. Oh yeah, got a new Camera "Cannon Rebel T1i" and a couple lenses I have to learn all over again. I've been doing point and click for so long that I need to take a course in Photography!! I need to learn how to take great photos of my beautiful flowers.

And speaking of flowers as of TODAY I see the tops of the daffodils and early lily bulbs and Iris.

Well, I don't want to keep you here all day reading my posts but I can say that I will be back around for another post soon. So Peace Out from me to you!!!!!!
