Where have all the trick-or-treaters gone?
We had no trick-or-treaters tonight. Not a single one, save for the kids of two of Greg's co-workers who came by due to previously agreed upon arrangements. And we bought a big bowl full's worth of candy! How disappointing.

"Little did he know . . . "
" . . . that means there's something he doesn't know, which means there's something you don't know. Did you know that?"
I came home from class tonight to find this:
and this:
sitting on the table of my craft room.
I'm already thinking at this point, Man, Greg is so good to me . . . craft stuff, chocolate, flowers . . . Little did I know, however, that the flowers and craft stuff were merely a decoy for the real surprise - the contents of the See's Candies.
The little paper cup that was supposed to have held a mint truffle held this:
Oh, man. I didn't know what to say, but I had so many questions. Only, that wasn't the end. After some prodding by Greg to dig around the box of chocolates, I came out with this in hand:
Sweet. Greg had been adamantly denying that I was in need of any more dresses than what I currently own, but tee hee . . . guess what I'll be getting at White House | Black Market? Dresses! To wear with my necklace!
Jewelry isn't generally appealing to me. I don't crave it/want it/need it like some people. But when I get it from Greg, and I know how much time/thought/love is behind it, all I want to do is wear it. I'm so lucky to be with Greg and that he loves me so much.

First Wall Hanging
My first wall hanging in my craft/study room!
The walls are not as mustard-y yellow as they look in the picture - it's just yellow lighting and I didn't use the flash.
Do you recognize the collage from the reception?

Wilcoxson's
Greg's parents came back home from Montana this week and look what they brought back!
Yum . . . every time we go to Montana, we try to get our fill of this and other Wilcoxson's (mint) ice cream while we're there.
Also . . . with some help from Greg's mom, I was a painting machine this week. I finished painting the great room (a coat or primer and 2 coats of 2 colors) and I'm feeling quite accomplished.

I miss Annalis Scraptique
I just noticed this comment to one of my posts in je_veux_ceci (which, unfortunately, has been quite neglected since starting classes in summer):
I can't think of how she (Suzy = owner) would have found that particular post . . . maybe I left a comment on the Annalis Scraptique blog?
In any case, I've realized that there is an extreme shortage of scrapbook stores South and West of I-10 and North of South Mountain and I miss having a scrapbook store so close, which was nice about Ahwatukee - Jo Ann's, Michael's, local scrapbook store, and various other shopping within 10-15 minutes. Now, it's probably about a half-hour drive out to the same stores until we get more retail development out here.
I was in Ahwatukee running errands on Saturday, and made a stop at Annalis Scraptique, but I made it there about 10 minutes after it closed at 5:00 and I was muy disappointed.
