The Liebster Award

One of my favorite blogs, Wendy over at Salt and Wine won the Liebster Blog Award and  passed it on to me and 4 other of her favorite bloggers.  A couple were blogs I have been reading for some time but several were new to me so I checked them out and are now following them!  What a find!

 
The meaning behind the award ~ An award given to blogs with less than 200 followers, that recognizes the blog author's creative writing and dedication.  It helps to bring blog owners together to exchange ideas and information 

As a recipient of this award, it is up to me to pass it along to five amazing bloggers of my choice. This isn't an easy decision folks!  I follow and read many blogs that I would nominate in a heartbeat.  I hope to have more opportunities and so these are the blogs I love and never miss reading.  I get a lot of inspiration from them.  Thank you for choosing me, Wendy!  I'm honored :-)  

Here are my five choices:  

Tam from Pennsylvania is always updating fun but trashed items that still have good bones!  This is one of my favorite thing to do!  Check out some of her projects! 


The House at Bluebird Lane
Sharla writes a DIY blog that keeps me updated on her ideas for home improvement.  I love to visit and see the variety of her projects!


 My Alaskan Cottage Home. 
You'll love Sandy!   Every post is different and interesting.  I tried her 1938 muffin recipe and loved it.  She lives in, now famous, Wasilla!  I love her style, her casual blog and all the interesting things she does!


Thoroughly Modern Me 
I enjoy seeing the newest vintage items from yard sales that she decorates her modern home with.  This mom of three takes great pictures and has wonderful ideas.  I always stop in when I see she has posted a new blog.

A Little Bit of Everything
This is a blog I have recently discovered and I love to stop in and see the latest scores from her thrifting!  She always buys exactly what I want to find!  I love thrifting blogs, don't you?

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
