AMANDA'S BASKETS: WATERFALLS

WATERFALLS

Another wild flower taken on the Mirror Lake Scenic Drive. It was so windy that I had to wait for several minutes before I could actually take this picture.

As promised, I will share more pictures from the drive. I decided to focus on the waterfalls...

When we got to the top, at almost 11,000 feet, the temperature dropped about twenty degrees...it was actually downright cold!

Today, I am washing clothes, packing, etc. It's nice to have Duchess to put the overflow in so that SnowWhite is not so cluttered. I still plan on sleeping in SnowWhite because there are way too many things to move to get to the bed in Duchess.

I won't be blogging until I get back. So this is my last blog this week. I will return on Monday.

Until then, I hope all of you are getting ready for fall and enjoying these last warm days.
Take care...
Talk to you on Monday...

CRAFTING IDEAS

I am always looking for a small piece of paper to write down something which will later be disposed of. I decided to use some of the scrap paper of which I have a ton. I mostly use the paper for glueing projects. I decided to cut the paper into a small size. (Six pieces from a piece of copy paper.). But just having them sitting on my desk would get messy without a container. So, using a cardboard box, I cut it down to size and using a hot glue gun I glued the ends together. Using a picture from a magazine cut into pieces and stick craft glue, I glued the pieces to the box inside and out. I also used some decorative tape for the outside edges. And to finish the top corners which were not covered, I used straight pins with colorful tops. Looks nice and works well.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

So in looking over your habits what did you find? Some popular good habits folks have are: Meditation, exercise, journal writing, flossing, reading and walking up early. Some not so great habits included smoking, saying yes, swearing, tolerating folks, not sleeping enough, always complaining and constantly making excuses. Do you have more good habits or more bad habits? Is it time to change? If so, start with the easiest bad habit to change, not the hardest. This will give the best chance of success. Decide on the best way for you to change your habit. Worry too much? Set a time to worry and then stop. You may have to stop yourself several times at the beginning but keep it up and you will worry less. Or, alternatively, write the worry down as well as options to stop the problem. Just figure out which way to stop is best for you.
