In Full Swing......Pun Intended! And A Giveaway!!

Things have been a little hectic around here and golf is mostly to blame!  The golf course where my husband is the superintendent, recently held the 2013 Vermont Amateur Golf Tournament.  To those who do not golf or who are not familiar with the obsession.....suffice it to say, it is kind of a big deal.  Well, this year made even a bigger deal because the tournament needed to be postponed because of all of  our inclement weather this summer.  Unprecedented in the tournaments more than 75 years!  Hard to believe especially in weather fickle Vermont.  Anyway, along with preparing the golf course for the tournament and all that goes along with it, Bill also caddied all 72 holes for our 16 year old son, Troy.  Because I can just not miss anything....I too walked along (from a fair distance away mind you) and watched every shot on every hole.  Our son did very well finishing tied for 8th!  I tell all of this not to brag or boost (well maybe a little) but so I can show these photos:

The whole experience was just one of those great memories that we will keep and cherish forever.  Immediately after the tournament concluded, the junior representatives for Vermont were selected to go to the New England Junior Tournament and Troy was chosen for the team, so off to Connecticut we headed for more golf!  Bill and I again saw every shot on every hole and really enjoyed the beautiful setting at Connecticut National Golf Club in Putnam Connecticut.  It is a really great experience for the kids and we really enjoyed it.  So long story short.....I have not really gotten very much work done over the past few weeks and it is really time to get busy!

I did manage to just list some more LARGE pumpkin pieces on Etsy
 






 
Also, got a little bit of organizing and preparation done for the shift to Christmas creating.

Just a small sampling of some of the goodies I have big plans for!
