Artist Ray Villafane

Last Halloween season I posted pictures of Ray Villafane's pumpkin carvings.
He is so awesome and I am a big fan of his! Here are some more for you to enjoy this Halloween season

New Front Door

As the contractor was preparing to install the new door he said he noticed what might be termites.
My daughter got on the phone immediately and called Orkin. Orkin came rather quickly to discover they were only little black ants. (Thank goodness!) They treated us for the ants, but now we are going to have them come back and give us a treatment for termites.

Here is the new door all installed. Now all it needs is some paint!

A BIT OF OUTSIDE DECOR

I did a bit of decorating for Halloween outside but we are now getting a new front door, so it will have to come down until the new door is installed and then I probably won't want to put nails in the new front door. Ha!
I'll post pictures of the yard after the door has been installed.
Anyway here is what the front door looks like right now:

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS RESORT,ORLANDO, FLORIDA

My daughter, her family and myself took a little holiday to Orlando to check out Universal Studio's Harry Potter attraction.
I am not one for theme parks but I'll have to admit that I wanted to stay and live right there in Hogsmeade.
It was beautiful and the grandkids thouroughly enjoyed themselves.
It was hotter than heck but we spent 2 fun filled days there before going on to St. Augutine to visit relatives, do a little sightseeing and shopping.
Here are some photos that I took throughout Hogsmeade:

Look What I Found

Have any of you seen these at "Home Goods"? I thought they were kinda cute $6.99 for a box of six. Stoneware eggs with the alphabet letters on them.
How would you display them?

I AM BUSY!

Between gardening and grandchildren I have not had a moment to sit in front of the sewing machine and just sew. Oh I'm not complaining those are just two things that I love!
I hope to get back to sewing as soon as I get the yards in better shape. Below is my youngest grandchild, Aiden. He really keeps me moving!

I Still Exist

Hello Blogger Friends!
It's been a while since I've shared anything, I've just been trying to get settled into my new living space. I have moved things around several times and I'm still not sure if this is the look I'm going to settle upon.
It is a challenge for me to try and fit all of my treasures into such smaller living quarters.
I've gone from living in a 10 room home to living in 3 rooms of my daughter's home.
This is only a temporary living space until we move into our forever home.
I'm not sure where the forever home will be, it will depend on where my son-in-law finds a job after his retirement from the Army in 18 months. He is a pilot and would love to continue to fly.
As soon as I am happy with my decorating I will have pictures to share.
I have been reading up on a lot of your posts and it is so good to see your work and different projects around your homes.
I am especially happy that Spring is approaching which means planning a garden is in the near future.
I have not created anything in quite a while and I need to get busy!
Please send some inspiration my way.
Have a wonderful day my friends!

Blessings to all of you,
Audrey
