What the Junk?!

I totally forgot to post on Saturday but planned to make up for it yesterday. Sadly, Typepad was down. It was down earlier today too. Luckily it's back up now. I hope this will post. If not, I'll have it posted later. Today is my favorite day of the year! Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain to you! I did my tradition for the day. I went to two local historic cemeteries and took some pictures. Unfortunately, they had crews working in both! This was the first time I'd encountered that. I was able to get some good shots, though. I'll share of few of the very cool mausoleums in Green Hill cemetery.

I have a tradition where I go visit one of the cities old cemeteries on Halloween.  I totally forgot last year, so I made up for it this year by going to three!  I also ended my day out by stopping by Abreu-Grogan park to take a few pictures. It's right on the Dan River.  I thought I'd made an album and share my pictures. I took a few in each cemetery.  I didn't take a lot as I have plenty of other trips.  I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful Halloween.

Hello and Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain to you!  It did NOT feel like Halloween here today.  We were under weather warnings and it was in the low 80's!  It was a pretty weird day.  My friend called last night about me keeping the dogs this weekend and I had that on my mind as they would have come tonight.  I totally forgot my tradition of going to a cemetery on Halloween! :(  I realized it when it was too late to go.  I did go in my yard and collect some pretty fall leaves and pick up a few pecans.

My friend's mom is not going on the trip, so I am off the hook on pup sitting. Yay!  I love the pups, but NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow and I don't want any distractions!  I want to get into my story.  I also have to take down all my Halloween decorations. :(  I am going to miss them.  I have plenty I keep out year around, but these will be stored until next year.  I really should count all the items as I put them away and report in on how many I have.  I have a LOT of jack o lanterns.  I mean a LOT. lol

I got my first order today from Paper Issues.  They have some cute stuff and good prices, too!  I got a three pack of washi, a single roll of washi, and some colorful cardstock (for making TN insert covers).  The three pack of washi is pretty,  I bought it just for the striped washi, but I really like them all.  The single roll is so adorable! It's travel washi and it's just so damn cute!  I put all four in my bujo to take a picture to share.  I will be ordering from Paper Issues again.  Go check them out! Paper Issues

First of all, Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain to you!  I hope you had a wonderful day.  I got in my walk and came home and rested for just a bit and then drove to two local cemeteries.  It's a Halloween tradition for me.  I always visit at least one old cemetery on Halloween.  I went to two and then headed home.  I almost got Starbucks, but it was close to lunch, so I came home and ate.  

I have just finished re-reading my first book and I'm about to re-read the second one.  I want all my characters to be fresh and in my mind for tomorrow.  I can't believe NaNo is tomorrow! Whoo! I'm happy about it though!  I am ready.  I was reading my first book on the Kindle and realized I had the wrong 'copy' of the first book.  I found the correct one on my computer and fixed that.  I took notes on things I need to change.  I've done small editing on both of the first two books but not major editing, yet.  I want to write down everything so I know what and where to edit when the time comes.

I did a bit of a leaf page in my bullet journal.  I went in my yard this afternoon after the walk and cemtery visits and collected some leaves.  I glued them in my bujo and then used mod podge to make sure they stayed.  I added some Halloween stickers.  It's a little Halloween spread that is totally different.  I like it!  Here is the spread and a few pictures from each of the cemeteries I visited.

It's my absolute favorite day of the year!  It was pretty nice today, too.  Not really cold, but cool.  I enjoyed my walk.  I went to an old cemetery. It's tradition.  I always go to a cemetery on Halloween.  This is one that hasn't been used since the early 1900's.  I took a few pictures.  Here are a few:

 I didn't take a lot of pictures, because I've been here many times.  It's a nice old cemetery.  

Last night, I didn't get around to reading until much later.  Why?  I was going Nano prep!  I got a notebook to do keep my notes in for Nano.  I put all my characters and some info from the previous book.  I have everything ready to go for tomorrow.  I wanted to get that done so I could start writing tomorrow.  I'm ready.  I already have an idea of something that is going to happen and I have two new characters to introduce too.
