This Sunday Alachua Florida held their Fall Festival complete with scarecrow Row.
Just in case you do not think that scarecrows are still being employed I thought you should see one at work. He keeps his vigil on a beautiful garden here in High Springs.
Now there is one scary lady. The sign reads you should only be scary one day a year. It is sponsored by a clothing store.
Yeah for the Red, White and Blue!!!!
Now I know what is eating all the leaves. Get away grasshopper.
At night the flowers turn pink to rose. The bees like the color.
We visited the Traxler Fall Festival held at the Springhill Methodist Church that was established in 1860. It is a beautiful church with lovely people. They had a barbecue, craft fair and bake sale. I think we go just for the bake sale as the Ladies of the church must be the best cooks in the whole county. We just had to buy a whole Italian Cream cake. Let me tell you it is fab. 
This is Bellamy Road, one of the oldest roads in the area. I have always loved a canopy of oaks.

The festival was on October 3, 2009. I said a little prayer for this tiny child. He is gone but not forgotten.
The cemetary has graves from many slaves as well as the pioneer families of this area.
This past week I celebrated my birthday. This is the cake the Jill made for me. She baked it in two Pyrex bowls, covered with icing and then made hard candy to decorate the ball just like a real mosaic bowling ball. The candy really looks like stained glass and the cake was delicious. 
This is the second mosaic bowling ball in the Circus Series.
Every year my sister outdoes herself with finding me just the right spider for my birthday. This a huge hanging one with blue eyes.
The Confederate Roses are blooming. They start out rose and then turn white.
After the computer crash, I lost all my digital supplies. I am just now getting all new embellishments, papers and all the things one needs to do digital scrapbooking. Take another look at Charlotte's birthday.
After taking the pictures of my first photography shoot of a wedding, I thought I should print out some of the pictures and frame them. This is special just for Kim and Tom. I also wanted to practice my digital scrapbooking skills by making an 8x8 book that has 12 pages of the wedding ceremony.
I gave this to the groom's parents in a frame. 
First make sure to fill the finger holes with wood putty. Then sand the ball to help the mastic hold. The decision on the design is always the hardest part. I have been mulling on this design for about 6 months. The ball is made with 1 inch tiles, cut mirror, pink stained glass and large glass molten round globs.
I can do all my hobbies here including stained glass, painting, jewelery making and of course sewing.
