What kind of pie are you ?

You Are Apple Pie

You're the perfect combo of comforting and traditional. You prefer things the way you've always known them. You'll admit that you're old fashioned, and you don't see anything wrong with that. Your tastes and preferences are classic. And classic never goes out of style. Those who like you crave security. People can rely on you to be true to yourself - and true to them. You're loyal, trustworthy, and comfortable in your own skin. And because of these qualities, you've definitely earned a lot of respect.

FALL INTO AUTUMN DISHCLOTH SWAP

Monday, October 15, 2007

TOPIC OF THE WEEK #5

Now that it is getting cooler here, it makes me think of apple picking and hay rides. Are you the type that likes to go to participate in all the fall festivities like apple picking, pumpkins, decorating for the fall, hay rides, baking fall goodies, etc. or do you just sit and count the days till Thanksgiving/Christmas/Hanukkah?

Well I would have to say baking and candy making, for all the upcoming holidays.Cakes,cookies and of course home made pralines,chocolate,peanut butter,coconut,some with peanuts,pecans,raisins.Oh my I think I know why I gain weight during this time of year.lol

Fall Felted Bag Exchange Question #4

We have 2 choices to choose from or we can answer both.I think I will answer both,this is fun!

October's coming to an end, and Halloween is growing closer! I realize not all of you celebrate Halloween, stick with me, there'll be 2 questions and everyone can choose which to answer!

• What was your favorite Halloween costume ever - for you?Don't remember.lol for your kids, if you have them?I had 4 boys who loved to dress as pirates. Why did you enjoy it so much?Because they dressed up in old clothes and used my make up,never store bought costumes,just watching them was so much fun. Do you still dress up now? NoChat a bit about your traditions for dressing up on All Hallow's Eve!

Alternately, you can answer this question, if you either don't celebrate Halloween, or would just prefer this question! (and yup, you're welcome to answer both, but still just a single entry for participation!)

• It's a crisp, cool, sunny Sunday in October - the sky is clear, there's a bit of a breeze, and the leaves have already started to change. How would you spend your day to best celebrate and enjoy the season? Are you at home curled up with tea and a book and a window open to enjoy the breeze? Do you head out on a long drive and hike through the mountains to see the trees? Go find pumpkins and colored corn to decorate? Tell us about your special day!

       My special day would be to sit outside with a really good book and enjoy the cool breeze,drinking a cup of coffee and looking at the trees,with all the differnt colors of leaves on them.We don't have any trees in our yard but are surrounded by trees from the neighbors yards and a small patch of wooded area across the street.I love sitting outdoors and just listening to the birds,it is awesome,when you really listen you hear so many diffent sounding bird calls,I love it.

Fall Book Swap (ZAZAZU)

I received a package yesterday!!!!

My swap partner Denise M. sent me this book which I can hardly wait to start,I think it is a book I will truly enjoy ,just from reading the information on the inside of the jacket.She also sent me some tea,and her daughter made me a bookmark.Isn't it cute,I love it,I will seal it so it will never fade or get crumpled.Thank you Denise and thank your little girl and give her a hug for me.Now I am gone make me some tea and see if I can get a couple of chapters in before daylight.lol

Fall Felted Bag Exchange Question #3

How often do you change the purse or bag you're carrying? Not very often,I am spoiled to the one I use most often.lolDo you change based on seasons? Not really,I have so many,I use year round,for dress.Outfits?Sometimes,to match my outfit, if I am going somewhere special or to a special event. Something else? I use mostly tote bags daily because I can carry my crochet or knitting and wallet and whatever else I am needing that day.What's your favorite bag in the world (and it doesn't have to be a knit/felted one!)? I would have to say my blue tote bag, made for me in a previous tote exchange, by Mary B., I love it and use it all the time.It is roomy and easy to carry,the handles are long enough to fit comfortably on my shoulder or I can carry it in my hand.
