I got through at least one book last month!
Forest Born - Shannon Hale - All you fans of The Goose Girl, Enna Burning, and River Secrets... here is the next one. It's just as marvelous as the others. I'd say it's most like Enna Burning with plenty of inner angst in the main character, who happens to be Razo's sister Rinna.
Oh yeah, I did read one other book... I re-read New Moon in preparation for the movie on November 20th!!
My trick-or-treaters are getting big! But they still love dressing up. (I do too!)
My son decided to be a hobo this year. It was an easy trip to Goodwill to find a costume.
Besides, he and his sister have a theory that hobos are actually saving Earth. They don't waste water, use too much electricity, drive poluting cars, etc. Athough we are well aware of the reality of these people's lives, there may be a lesson there too...
My daughter dressed up as Mother Nature. I guess you could say she was Planet Earth!
And a very pretty planet she is!
I finally finished a costume that has taken me 5 years to make! I found the pattern 5 years ago, bought the fabric 4 years ago, cut it out 3 years ago, bought the trim last year, and finally....
Finished it this year!
Food art is one of my favorite things...
So carving pumpkins is really right up my alley!
This year my daughter carved Charlie Brown! It was very appropriate, since we watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" every year while we carve. We can practically say it by heart.
My son carved a ... mutant... of some kind. I think it's a very cute mutant.
My pumpkin is waiting to be kissed. :-)
I wrote a short piece for the website www.5minutesforbooks.com and it was published today.
Check it out here!
It started with my garden. Then it was my dress.
Now it's spread to my bedroom. I am officially in my red phase.
Red seems to be the color that calls my name these days. Now it's on my bed.
In one of my favorite paintings (given to me by a friend.)
And in a photo I took of roses (that incidentally used to live in my powder room.)
Today was the maiden performance of the children's theater school tour I've been working on for several months now. It was great!
The first show was for K-2 grades and was an interactive performance of three Aesop's fables. The second show was for 3-5 grades and was all about the events and people surrounding the Declaration of Independence. So much fun!
I've been wanting to do this for ten years now (since I did it the last time) and it was just amazing to see it come to life!
As anticipated, I did not finish any books in September. Every spare minute (and more!) was spent on reworking my life and making a massive direction change.
The good news is, good stuff is happening! I've already got a couple of contracts writing and teaching dance & music.
How about this month you leave a comment telling me what YOU read? I'm going to get back to my reading habit one of these days and I'll need many more books to read.
