Hi... its me again, so some ideas that are floating around in my head.  I want to talk about Halloween wreaths and Christmas wreaths in the next few weeks, however, there is some rethinking to be done prior to that post.  When you go to Home Goods, Michael's, or JoAnn,s or maybe Hobby Lobby please check out those twig wreaths that are sold there.  I don't like them per say, but they will do it you can get them for a good price.  Use some of those coupons.  You will need two, one for the Spooky day and we will be able to modify it to go into Thanksgiving.  Then the day after Thanksgiving prior to going on your Black Friday route, you can change out the wreath for Christmas one.  So keep an open mind for what you think will work for your door.  I like something that is bright and lite and airy.  Home Goods could have some really cute stuff out right now.  Step out of the box and let your mind wonder, and keep in mind buy it now because it will not be there when you come back.

Ok.... going to be doing some flip flops this week, so you will need to get a pair of cute ones, I like the ones with a small platform on the heel.  Also have found when adding a flower or ribbon on the toe hole I like the strap to be make out of fabric not firm plastic.  You can hot glue the ribbon or flower to the flip better,  There are getting hard to find so grab some now, the store around here are putting out back to school stuff.

Question do you have some Rebecka/Black eyed Susan's in your yard.  I simply love these flowers,  I live in So Cal and it is getting very hot here and I plant them in pots out on my patio.  They do very well providing I water them on a timely basis.  So the point being you can get seeds from the dead flower heads.  Cut off the dead blooms, and put them in a paper bag.  Keep the cut blooms in the garage in the paper bag with the blooms.  Providing your husband does toss them out with the trash, the seeds are in the center of the flower, everything that is in the bag, is what is going to give you the best flowers ever next year.  Say in February or when the frost has stopped in your area, toss out the bag worth of seeds (the entire bag ..dead stuff and the center of the flowers) in a nice dirt area that gets water.  Then sometime in early April there will be new starts.  You can than transplant them into your flower pots or move them to the area you want to shine with great looking flowers, happy days for us.
