Adios Summer

My grandma was in the hospital for a blood clot so I've not been able to be online much. Thankfully she's back home safe and sound, but I'm going to be helping out after work, so free time and summer lazy days are gone. Oh well, with summer going, fall is approaching. And fall=Halloween, hip hip hooray!

To keep it Halloweeny, I've become obsessed with finding these appetizer plates made by Department 56. They've been spotted at Ross and thus far I've found one of four. Between work and my grandma's tomorrow I'm going to head into at least one Ross. I swear the hunt for Halloween is keeping me sane.

To Grandmother's House We Go

After a strenuous day at my grandparent's, I decided I needed to head to Home Goods and see what new Halloween had arrived since I'd been there (only a week ago!). I've attempted to put a slide show of the pictures here, but as I'm extremely technologically challenged, I don't think it worked. I believe you can just go to www.photobucket.com/bellelostdrake if that is easier. I really ought to just take away the area I tried to put the slide show in, but the swirling white circles going round and round are strangely hypnotic. Don't get lost in them!

Also I made some homemade peanut butter brownies, and I must say they turned out delicious! I needed them after a failed attempt at making some Halloween necklaces out of wine charms. Oh well, I'll find something to do with them, I'm sure.
