Share Your Cup Thursday #123

Hello my friends and welcome to Share Your Cup, (SYC for short).  The party where you share the things that make you happy.

It’s what I call, ‘filling your cup’.

It’s hard to believe that Halloween will be here in no time.  We have been having such gorgeous weather and I am loving every minute of it!

Thanks again to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come party here!  Seeing all of your creativity definitely helps to fill my cup!

Now on to features from SYC. #122:

Tuesdays Tour. . .A Ride up American Fork Canyon

Hello my friends, it’s been a few weeks since I shared a ‘Tuesday’s Tour’ post with you.

One night after work we decided to grab a bucket of KFC and head up American Fork Canyon.  We wanted to catch the Autumn splendor before it was too late.  Why not enjoy an outdoor picnic while we’re at it?

                                                  (this one was taken just before dusk)

Well, let me tell you; 50 million other people (exaggerating of course)  had the same idea.

The canyon was packed!  So much so that you could not stop and take some of the gorgeous shades of red and orange that were in the lower part of the canyon.  Still there were some beautiful sites!

I am always amazed at the beauty of this glorious earth!

I loved this pop of gold amongst the green pines as the sun started to set.

DSC03502

Remember, this was in the evening.  Can you imagine how brilliant these would be with the sun shining on them?

There’s gold in them there hills!  Why is it always so fun saying that? lol!  Not sure what that puff of what looks like smoke is.

50 Shades of gold.

I love moss so I had to share this photo.

                               (me taking a picture of our daughter, Kylee taking a picture)

Kylee decided to have a little fun.  We thought it was a cute photo.  Apparently another lady did also.  A complete stranger took a picture of her as well.

DSC03515

Golden Oldies.  Hee-hee!

DSC03510

Okay now prepare yourself for what I’m about to show you.

Let me set the scenario.

I saw a large field of golden foliage.

Me to hubby:  Video me while I frolic (skip) through this field. *In my mind this was going to be all “Sound of Music’ like.  You know, the hills are alive?

Kylee:  I’ll frolic (skip) with you.

Me: Okay

Before you view this video let me tell you three things I learned:

1.  NEVER try frolicking (skipping) in flip flops (especially in a bumpy field)

2.  61 year old chubby ladies don’t frolic!  And they certainly can’t jump up and click their hills.

3.  If you try to frolic, come prepared for the laughter that will certainly follow and wear Depends!

Telling it like it is!

At least the Autumn Foliage didn’t disappoint.

Welcome to Hauntsville!

Hauntsville is the name of my Halloween town.

It’s the place where haunted houses and trick-or-treaters can be found.

DSC00007

Don’t let Mr. Bones keep you from going inside. . .he’s just as afraid of you.

  In fact, once you enter he’ll run away and hide!

DSC00006

And this smiling ghost. . .well he just stepped out to say, ‘hi’.

Who knows, if your nice; he might teach you to fly!

DSC00013

DSC00011

Hauntsville really is quite a friendly town. .

They have a fountain of pumpkins you can buy by the pound.

DSC00026

A black widow spider is hanging around. . .to see if any left over goodies can be found on the ground.

DSC00023

Although this house says, ‘do not enter’, the path looks quite fun. . .

DSC00008

Once you’re inside, your journey’s begun.

Treats are on the mind of this scaredy cat. . . she’s willing to take a chance and enter in her party hat!

DSC00009

Ha, ha, look who’s there pretending to be brave. . .yup, that’s me, I stepped out of my witchy cave.

DSC00016

DSC00015

The lamp post and the moon keep the town well lit.

DSC00020

That’s why for trick-or-treaters this town is a hit!

DSC00018

DSC00024

Come to Hauntsville. . .hurry come fast!

DSC00021

We all have a sweet tooth and the goodies won’t last!

I picked up the 2 chipboard house kits at a thrift store last year.  I used papers and embellishments I had to decorate them for this ‘kid friendly’ town.
Using two other houses that I already had, I placed it on a bed of green grass(burlap).
I decorated my table more for the grands this year.  5 year old, Saydee had fun exploring it one day when I was baby sitting her.

I hope you felt welcome in Hauntsville!

Aqua Love. . .

Last Saturday I attended a vintage sale with a couple of my friends.

As we walked towards the entrance it was love at first sight!!

Aqua love that is.

A rustic wooden filing cabinet that wheeled it’s way right into my heart.

DSC03583

Yup, it was those rusty wheels as well as the aqua color that I loved.
It was a fabulous price and I couldn’t wait to get it home and ‘style’ it.

DSC03588

As rustic as this ole gal might be. . .she needed a feminine touch.  A thrift find $2 doily did the trick!  I added a touch of whimsy with the masked pumpkin.

DSC03581
Some of the drawers got filled with pumpkin and Fall foliage.  I’m thinking I need to put the word, ‘pumpkins’  in the label slot.
DSC03582

I tied a $4 enamel pitcher filled with Hydrangea blooms to one of the handles.

DSC03586

I bought it from the vendors Two Pitts of a Pear and I love it!!  They have wonderful stuff and wait till you see what else I bought.  Just a teaser, not showing you yet.

DSC03587

She feels right at home with my shabby bench and $5 orange chair.

DSC03591

I know what you’re thinking, “she has this and that Mining Cart on her front porch?”

Somehow it worked!

How about you?  Do you have a bit of aqua love?
