spending money

this is my newest Patti Tobin Davis original mandala. i am completely in love with this piece. i highly recommend that you check out her site. she created a mandala a day for thirty days, and they are now available for sale. each piece comes in an 8.5" square frame (just like the one in the photo), though i agree with her that with a good 3" white mat and a black frame mine will look even more smashing on the red wall. :)



my new halloweeny front door. i'm pretty excited about halloween. i believe my porch is perfect for decorating, and i have a plan for the tree in the front yard, too. plus i'm planning to replace my cute windchime for one made with skulls & bats.


and my newest purchase - isn't it cute? thankfully i read the first couple of pages in the user guide. now i know to "never place your phone in a microwave oven as this will cause the battery to explode." whew. glad i read that before heating my phone up for dinner?! seriously.

the neighbor kids are currently playing alongside my house. there's a little "hiding spot" between their fence & the side of my house that they use when they're playing. generally i yell at them to get out of my yard ... but that little "hiding spot" of theirs is filled with poke berries that will stain & ruin their clothes. and i find that possibility pretty humorous.

i also find the possibility of them peeing themselves when i yell from inside my office to "get out of my yard!" pretty humorous.
