Today's the day! I hope none of you are dizzy from being shaken around in a plastic lunch bag *LOL*
And the winner is
Quiltluver! Congratulations Karen.
I'll go down and press them (honest) and get them into the mail as soon as you answer my email giving me your address.
The little scarecrow above I made 5 or 6 years ago when I was in my need to try something new period. He turned out pretty well. I saw a photo and just tried to recreate it my way. He turned out kinda cute. His pumpkin is a plastic one I bought that has batteries in it and the eyes flash green when it's turned on. I really should try to find him and dig him out for the season.
Had a rather odd night here last night. I always say our area is so safe I could go out for a walk at 3am and not worry. We've been here for 15 years and I think that concept is changing. Probably cause life is changing... on weekend nights anyway.
A few weeks ago there were two groups of kids down the street and it was getting pretty rough. A girl started to scream. So I called the police and they said they'd already had calls. Of course by the time the police got here half the kids were gone. But they questioned the ones who were left and maintained a presence for a couple of hours.
Last night at 11:00 an ambulance came down the street. No biggie, the ambulance is frequently going down that street cause someone down there must have a medical problem. But then I heard a helicopter overhead. It was the police copter flying at about 200 feet, doing a grid, obviously looking for someone. First thing we locked all our doors and windows.
Just yesterday morning in the paper we read about that kid Colton Harris-Moore. Then there were reports that he was in Pt. Roberts, Washington which is right near us. So we started thinking maybe it was him they were after. We really need a police scanner, I'm way too curious to not have one. We had the radio on two different channels and kept switching back and forth to news channels on TV but nothing.
First thing I did this morning was snap on the 24 hour radio news channel and there it was. Stabbing in Cromie Park, which is at the end of our street. Yikes! It's a soccer field and has bright lights they turn on for night games but they really need to be on all the time cause teens do congregate there. That would be one heck of an electric bill though huh? No specifics yet, of course, but I'll be watching/listening throughout the day to find out what happened. Used to be the biggest thing that happened around here were horses falling in ditches. Times have changed.

Yikes! We have some rough folks that live behind us, the man and woman do alot of hollering, mostly because of too much drinking. Stay safe!
That must have scared the heck out of you ,I feel pretty safe in our townhouse complex ,but crime is all over It doesn't matter if you live in the best area of town .Kind of sad isn't it, that we don't feel safe in out own neighbor hoods .
OMG, that sounds a bit scary. Thank you so much for the Halloween fabric. I'll go check my email. Karen
I'm sorry I missed your giveaway, sounds like it was pretty cool, good for you. Listen to somebody that has been married to an old cop you really should get a scanner. I listened to it all the time Jay was at work, as a policeman and as a Deputy Constable, he was always into something. Plus I just enjoyed listening, I'm nosy. So get a scanner and arm yourself with a rolling pin just in case 8>)
congrats to Karen, did I at least make first runner up- what about Ms Congeniality? I second the get a scanner, my neighbor has one and he calls us if anything big is going on. cw
