October goodies

Here are a few of the items that I received from the swap that was completed as mentioned below. I say a "few" because I did not get enough photos of all that was sent from dear Amy. She did a beautiful job w/presenting all she made and sent. This acorn box is one of my favorites, I wish you could see it in person. So full of Fall, and glittery.
And, this beautiful Halloween box, all orange and black and full of glitter!! Did I mention full of surprises inside, like notions and thread and little leaves and more.

oOh, and here is what my box looked like inside. Festive for sure. And why are these images out f order? Shouldn't the opened box be first? Of course it should. In a perfect world it would be. You know where this is heading? Since we are not on "Planet Perfect" "our" precious computer is misbehaving and playing tricks. It was all I could do to get these images even uploaded today. I blogging. We have our photos and all we need. We are good to go." SURPRISE...my most tried on day before. I said to myself: "self, let's just quickly post and do our best to keep up with important button on my blog post editing "Add Image" refuses to work correctly and then when it does..I either lose a connection and an image and have to start over or get some different message. It all happened within the last 2 months I suppose. Still waiting for Mr. Genius, my "I can do just about anything I set my mind to" husband to figure this terrible problem out. For now, here you go. To top it all off, I figured out long ago how to cut and paste and manipulate my post photos around my text...and naturally those buttons suddenly do nothing and I deleted a photo and had to start over. All those who have a love/hate relationship w/their computer say: I...IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

A big Thank-You to Amy for all of her hard work and Heidi for hosting (see previous post for her blog info!)

I know I should be doing something else, but....how many times have I said that before? Really needed to blog and post pics of some of what was sent and received in the "Halloween Swap" that Heidi hosted. I am behind, I am not getting stuff done. No, I sometimes get stuff done, but never what I make up in my mind to do. I believe that's another post. For now, a view of a few lovely Halloween gifts that were sent by my partner Amy Bauer. Yep, you already viewed that and as mentioned, I cannot maneuver this thing today. I won't give up. Posting more when I can achieve back my sanity from this dang computer.. off to feed my brood :}

hugs, Carol
