I Voted

"Freedom is an option, not a given. Exercise your options."

Daddy and I are both registered voters here in Florida so we opted to exercise our early voting rights today. We were surprised that there were no long lines.

Today's weather is absolutely gorgeous! We ate at a new Chinese restaurant for lunch and will enjoy margaritas out on the deck later and then watch the Bama game tonight - life is good!!

Halloween Envelope Updated

Karen and Kathy each worked on the front and back of my Halloween envie - I'll continue to update.

Fun at the Beach

Four of the seven Littles came to the beach this weekend - what fun!!

Fun Envelope Art Again

A group of us are doing mail art again - the current theme is Halloween! Such fun! The photos below are the front and back of my own envelope - I had fun painting each side with Lumiere paints and adding stitching (on the mummy's eyes), cheesecloth, an autumn leaf and some images. I will post photos when it returns back home. Next we are doing a Christmas envie - I can't wait!

My Birthday

October 3 was my 61st birthday - how the heck did this happen so soon!?! And why are the days and weeks and months flying by faster and faster the older I get?? Well, anyway - I had a very nice quiet birthday alone. I received loving phone calls, emails, ecards, cards and messages from my wonderful family and friends. I read and relaxed and I spent some time on the beach and took a few photos - the weather is gorgeous and I LOVE this time of the year!
