It was soooooo cool to meet her!) Check it out on You-Tube<BR/> <BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWCLUbOXdNo<BR/> <BR/>The photo taken that day even appeared in People Magazine! (I'm behind the Secret Service bodyguard who is wearing dark sunglasses)<BR/> <BR/>http://www.people.com/people/gallery/0,,20232832_6,00.html<BR/> <BR/>Some women behind me who couldn't see or hear Sarah Palin (as well as I could) had me turn back to them throughout her visit and answer all their questions ... they were so grateful that they came back to my Mia Bella Candle booth and bought 3 candles each from me! I have Sarah Palin to thank for my brisk sales that day!

I don't know if that is fall-like, but it sounds artistic, and would smell nice too! <BR/><BR/>Let's see for a fall decoration, how about taking a wicker container (shallow) and placing in it gourds? Or indian corn? Or perhaps both? Baby pumpkins? <BR/><BR/>I was going to do this Val. I found the best of these at a store in Hershey. I wanted to get them so badly to make a design at home. But I knew they wouldn't survive the trip back home on the bus. So I couldn't get them. Bummer. They were so gorgeous! I wanted to buy them (they were so inexpensive, like 30 cents for a gourd or a colorful cob of incian corn!) just to photograph them. Sigh, I couldn't. <BR/><BR/>I think the swag idea is cool too. Perhaps if I see any at the store at home I will get me a couple of things to decorate the home. Thanks for the reminder and the ideas Val, and for getting my creative juices flowing again! Great post!<BR/><BR/>Love you, Krissy :)krissy knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541923934162365673noreply@blogger.com
