October Sign Ups

WOW...can you believe that October is almost here already? I hope everyone had a wonderful September Swap. I know my month was extremely busy and Becky your package is going into the mail this week!

As usual if you want to swap in October then comment here and I will add you to the October Swap list...The theme for this month will be a lot of fun because you have a huge selection with the stores all decked out for the Halloween holiday.

October: Halloween is at the end of the month so I think doing a Halloween theme will work out. Some trivia: Orange and black are Halloween colors because orange is associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with darkness and death, although I love black and I do not associate it with death at all. Jack o’ lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday. Pumpkins come in white, blue, and green. Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in America. 90% of parents admit to sneaking goodies from their kids’ Halloween trick-or-treat bags.
And a cute Joke: How do you fix a jack-o-lantern?
[Ans: With a pumpkin patch. LOL LOL LOL]

My October Swap

These goodies came form JoAnn. I don't think you can see all of the prezzies, so here's what I got: A Thanksgiving guest towel, chocolate caramel tea, Halloween pencils, 3 skeins of Paton yarn, the November / December iddue of "Paul Deen" magazine, 3 crochet hooks, candy (a few pieces didn't make it to the photo shoot;)), vanilla tea lights, a tapresty bag, _4_ crochet books, leave garland and a vanilla scented vaccum cleaning bag. Oh, and some kleenex because who dosen't need kleenex in this crazy weather we're having here in Maryland.
Thank you so much, JoAnn
