Can I Have Your Attention Pretty Please?

Good Morning on this chilly August 8th! It feels like early Fall here! We are going to have a couple of days of these cooler temps and I am LOVING it!

So I wanted you to know, if you are on Facebook, that I have created a craft, cooking, decorating group and would appreciate anyone who would check it out. It's called:
Country Home-Decorating & Creating Country, Prim & Amish style. So go under groups and look me up :)    It's so hard to get noticed. Even with blogging I receive so many views but not that many comments and rarely do people become followers even though I hear from them for every post with emails. So if you wouldn't mind...thanks a bunch! If you can't find it, send me a friend request to Margaret Stone.

We picked a bunch of apples from our trees yesterday! We have several different kinds..

I think an apple crisp is going to be made in the kitchen today! I love crisps of any kind. It's all about the topping. Yummy crumb topping.

Working on the craft fair items, I made more sun bonnet girls for various crafts and look what's in the midst of those girls..a little witch! I still have to embellish them all with ribbons and trim, etc.

I finished a few more completely. Here is one I did adding a fence and lamb. It's hanging on a little chair that has a star so that black pointy part on the top is what it is hanging from...not to confuse you!

See it now? :)

Caitlin and I also did our salt dough lollipops and ornaments. They will be painted as prim snowmen. Don't mind the messy kitchen!

It's funny cause I'm all about Fall so I have a hard time doing the Christmas thing right now but I am getting some things made!

I think this week just flew by! How 'bout you? The kids have had a busy Summer. I really don't get post a lot about my son because he works with my husband and many times is with is girlfriend having fun at the beach and whatever. He's had a great Summer. Eight happy months with his gal pal.  So many posts show only my Caitlin but he is here and thank you Fran for asking about him :) He is feeling so much better but still does get painful episodes of his stomach disorder.He should be returning to school in September full time after 14 months of home instruction.  Caitlin has had fun going bowling, to the movies, and two nights ago went to a night time swim party with some of her friends at our neighbor's house. The kids love to night swim under the patio lights!

Yesterday Caitlin and I went out for lunch and shopping with my friend Mary and we also hit some sales. Here's what I came home with:

Great finds! Mary also brought me some wonderful things she had found when she was on her own and then she bought me this lovely pumpkin decoration:

And then we had lunch, more shopping and it was a real fun day!

earlier in The week I had gone to Christmas Tree Shop with two other ladies I love to be with and found this adorable tart burner! Goes perfect with my décor!

Time for me to get going here. I'm going on Pinterest for a bit and then off to peel some apples for that crisp! Happy Saturday!
