First of all, let me apologize for not having this post up last week....and not letting you know ahead of time that I was probably taking last week off from my blog. Actually, I thought I would keep up with my blog. Little did I know he he. It was a great newlywed/vacation/family week.
I have not done a thing with any of my lenses. I keep thinking of it, but letting other things get in my way.
So today I'm going to share some of my lenses that have dropped below the 400,000 ranking mark and are in the pink. As always, as you look at them, if you have suggestions, please feel free to let me know. There seems to always be something you can do to a lens that will give it an update.
This is a book that I won as a spine chilling book package from gather.com. This is a very interesting read for sure. One that I want to read again.
Online Craft Mall --If you make crafts to sell, you will want to check this one out. Ralyn does a great job running the craft mall and membership costs very little compared to other sites like it out there!
Meatball Subs -- This one was a recipe lens assignment through rocketmoms. I know Ruthi wants to know more about rocketmoms so we need to get her an invite to join in on the next session. Rocketmoms is a group on squidoo where you get assignments on lenses to build for 6 weeks. To graduate you must complete all assignments. Along the way there are bonus assignments. Everyone helps each other out with ideas and ratings. I've been honored to be a part of the group. I've not kept up very well with future assignments after my graduation, but have done some of them here and there.
Kansas--Our First Lapbook! -- I love this lens, and the lapbook that we made. We get this one out quite often. Jasmine is really too old now to make the lapbooks but I'm still in hopes of interesting her into making more anyway. She could even make it a project to make them for the younger kids to learn from.
That's all for me this week. I look forward to getting back to work in squidoo and clicking along as you add to my linky.
oh my my my! It's been over 2 weeks since I've written my blog!
Life's been pretty crazy away from home with extra doctor appointments and such...and I am fervently working on completing these quilts for Christmas on top of that.
As far as the doctor appointments for myself...my doctor tells me that all my bloodwork, x-rays and lab show everything is normal with me. My mammogram showed no signs of cancer.
My youngest daughter also celebrated her 13th birthday in my absence from here. She is officially a teenager now and she had one awesome birthday!!
I've been trying to rethink how I want to do my blog to make it more interesting for my readers. One way is to list at least one freebie each time I post.
Today's freebie is Brunswick free bowling passes to print out. These can be handed out on Halloween night as an extra treat, or used for yourself. I printed out a few pages of them to add to my candy I am handing out. Brunswick Happy Halloween Free Bowling Passes There are 6 passes per page you print.
I made Giant Squid on squidoo!!! I also graduated Rocketmoms as well. I have been doing a lot of updating over at squidoo, but have a lot more to get done. It's been so much fun being part of the Rocketmom's and I look forward to this next session to start. Keeps the creative juices flowing, so to speak.
I'm still working away at gather too. I just got in another $25 in paypal!! I'm heading out the door to the Goodwill store and Wal-mart for final quilting supplies to finish the quilts.
For now, I will close, but I will try my best to post a little something each day again. Need to get back into my habits here.
Have a great Saturday, and if it's too cold where you are, stay warm!

Good Morning!
I am not past my disappointment and all about the refund, but all I can do for now is move on and pray it works out and I still get it.
Time to share what I've shared on gather since last posted here as well as things I've done on squidoo.
Squidoo:
I just finished updating Our Unschooling Journey 4
I added another blanket done on my Blankets for Christmas lens.
This week's assignment with Rocketmoms was to build a lens around Travel the World with the Rocketmoms. I built mine on Dillon's Nature Center--Hutchinson, KS
Gather:
Flower Photo Essay--Last One This Season
Two More Blankets/Quilts Complete
We Got a New Kitchen Table
and 36 Odd Things About Me
I'm also sharing 3 photos a day taken at the state fair in an album Kansas State Fair 2009
In other news...I survived the week. I'm feeling really tired but I made it. My son is still staying with us. We are working on getting the swimming pool emptied and taken down for the season. We got in trouble with the city for emptying it onto the street. They say it's human contamination and against the law. It had to be emptied into a sewer, and that didn't mean the grates in the street either.
I got my middle daughter to the dentist for her partial impression, now we wait for them to call and say they are done.
Tomorrow is the first day of Sunday school at church so I am keeping all the grandkids overnight tonight. I actually look forward to it....just hope I can get to sleep at a decent time.
I think that's it for now. Have yourself an awesome Saturday.

Good Morning! I can't believe it's been over a week since I blogged, but it's been so busy.
Steve was on vacation last week. Even though we really didn't go anywhere, we still stayed plenty busy..
On labor day I started and almost completed a quilt. All I had left was the tieing, which I am working on now.
Steve and my son, Johnathon put in a sidewalk beside the garage during the week. I haven't gotten to posting the photos or videos on gather yet.
The Kansas State fair started Friday, the 11th. We spent ALL day Friday there, and a lot of the day Saturday. My legs ache!! I am going back today with my granddaughters to walk around with Araya's Headstart class. Then, my daughter, Jasmine, will spend her $13 riding rides since it's $1 day.
As far as Squidoo: I updated this morning Our Unschooling Journey 4
I updated Gather--The BEST in Social Networking
And, this weeks Rocketmom's assignment was a fall recipe lens, so I chose to make one on Meatball Subs
In gather I shared my every day featured posts for my own group as well as:

You can see that I love to stay busy on gather. I got my last $25 paypal redemption in Sept 11, and have a goal to cash out again by the 25th.
Guess I will move on for the day before it's time for me to leave...time flies by!
Have a great Monday,
Marsha
