I am at my Grandparents' house, so I will put up the Holiday Contest when I get back on Monday.

Happy Turkey Day!

One More Thing...

(This will be the last post about my business- I promise!)

I just thought of this today- I can sell hats and scarves too. $4 for a hat, $5 for a scarf, or both for $8.

Also- I received a few orders for fuzzy slippers. I went looking for flip flops to do them on, however, and I couldn't find any, probably because it is winter. I am not done looking, but I may not be able to make those until winter is over. Sorry!

Thanks! Tune in tomorrow for the last North Carolina post!

North Carolina, Part Cuatro

One of the days during our trip, we went to see our land. This was the first time my grandparents were able to see it in person.

These are just some pictures of the ride there.

And here it is! My camera makes the mountains look sooooo much smaller and farther away than they really are. I remember taking this picture and thinking, "The mountains shrunk!" when I looked at it.

This my favorite tree. I would love to build a tree house in it.

And this is an apple tree right next to it. There are a few apple trees and a few pear trees on our land. There are also a lot of black raspberry bushes!

Here are some more pictures of the view...

We are probably going to cut down some trees to the left and right of the gap to widen the view. Unfortunately, these are the best climbing trees on the entire property!

And here is our loverly pond. Isn't it beautiful? There is another one by the barn, but it dried up because it is not spring-fed like this one.

And look! Color!

My Uncle Mike is studying fish and wildlife in school right now, and he tells us all of the different types of trees and other plants. This is nice because he actually found some poison ivy in the barn! It is a rather old barn; we are probably going to pull it down.

More color...

On the way back to my aunt and uncle's house, we stopped at an overlook on a mountain pass between North Carolina and Tennessee. The sun was setting, and the colors were beautiful!

Isn't our God amazing?

A Quick Note...

Last night, our family decided that we would each give something up to donate to the local rescue mission. Joel is giving up going to the skatepark one week, and Josh won't go to golf. The money that we would have spent on that will go to the rescue mission. I am going to try to raise $20 from my business to donate. So if you buy, that is where your money will go!
