Hi friends, I have this Thanksgiving Chalkboard Art sign I made and displayed on my mantel that is so easy to make for any holiday.
You can see the sign I decorated on my mantel with my pilgrim statues. I also have my crocheted pumpkins I made too. In case you still want to make and crochet the pumpkins you can see the post HERE. To go directly to the pattern for the crochet pumpkins you can go HERE.
I bought the pilgrim statues many years ago when I worked in New York City.
I also have displayed little plastic pumpkins and they too are from a dollar store along with the leaves.

CHALKBOARD ART
To make the chalk board art you need:
1 art canvas - any size
1 can Krylon chalkboard paint - color 807 Black
newspaper to lay on floor
chalk
Directions:
Take newspaper and lay on the floor (so that you don't make a mess). Take your canvas and spray paint it 2 to 3 times. Next let the canvas dry throughly. When dry you are ready to make your chalkboard art.
I hope I have inspired you to make one too!

Hi friends, I'm in the middle of reading a book by Debbie Macomber. The book is called
Rose Harbor in Bloom!
This is the second book in the series. When I was shopping a few weeks ago I picked up this book at BJ's not realizing that it's the second book in the series but you can still read and follow along as it does not really make a difference.
I'm really enjoying the book and it's a light and easy read. I usually enjoy reading at night for a little while before bed.
This book is about a woman who owns a bed and breakfast and it's basically about the guests who come and stay at her inn.
To read more about this book you can click HERE.
I will be sharing this post with Chantelle from the blog Mama Mummy Mum who has a book series each week called Read With Me every Monday.

Thanks everyone and Enjoy!

Hi friends, I hope you all had a Happy Halloween. I gave a out so much candy and I enjoyed looking at all the little kids in their cute costumes. I even dressed up my dog Bosco as a pumpkin. I was so good, I only ate 3 pieces of candy!
I am on a book roll right now and I finished reading this book And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie a while back. I really loved this book and it was recommended to me by daughter. My daughter had to read this book for school so I decided to give it a try.

I'm really glad I decided to read this book and it's a fast moving mystery and it will keep you guessing. If you like to read mystery books then I recommend you read this.
I was so excited to read another book by Agatha Christie and decided to go to our local library to find another one. I was disappointed when they did not have any of her books. So I picked up this book called A Stitch Before Dying by Anne Canadeo.
I have managed to read this book and I really loved it. It's a mystery about a group of women that belong to a knitting group and they all go away for the weekend. One of the ladies in the group is giving knitting lessons at the inn where they are staying and there happens to be a murder. It gets really interesting from there and I could not put the book down. What I liked about this book is that it is the third book in a series and there are a few recipes at the end of the book to try.
If you like mysteries then I would suggest this book and I'm looking forward to reading more books from this Black Sheep Knitting Mystery Series.
I will be sharing with you soon the book that I am currently reading. Are you reading any good books right now?

Hi friends, last weekend my family and I took a drive to the country. We decided to visit a farm for the day and I hope you will join me in our visit.
We were so delighted when we saw this candy apple shack and just had to buy some. They also made fresh donuts that were so amazing.
They had this cool looking scarecrow dressed up with the cute hat, pumpkins, and flowers decorated all around it and the grounds.
My daughter and I were delighted when we saw the animals and look at this baby goat with the cute blue eyes.
They had cute sheep too and this guy looked like he was posing just for me.
Look at this barn for the chickens - I just love it.
They had a wonderful corn maze but we did not go through it, we just enjoyed looking at it.
There were so many tiny pumpkins, gourds, and mums available to choose from.
They had pony rides available for the kids too.
Inside is a farm stand where they sold all sorts of pies, donuts, and kettle corn which all came home with us. They also had fresh vegetables and fruit that looked amazing.
Here is an old barrel that has water running through it that was once used for gem mining.

It was so much fun and it was the perfect way to celebrate fall.
Wishing everyone a Happy Halloween and have a spooktacular weekend!
