Goodness! It's already November! My favorite time of year! The past few months have been incredibly fast paced and action packed. And I've loved each and every minute! My book revision is just about complete, Jayc Harold and his addition to my "Warm Hugs for Dark Nights" gift boxes has really been inspiring. He and his family are such a blessing to be around!
  While Bud spends his days combining beans, I've enjoyed a hugh project of giving the interior walls of several rooms in the house a new coat of paint. We've also decided to reupholster a couple of old chairs and I'm excited about getting them back!
  It's leaf blowing time and thanks to my heavy duty STHIL gas blower, I've just about got that task completed. I do so enjoy that chore. 
  I've also enjoyed making several pumpkin pies with a little extra jazz on top with leaves and pecan "acorns" created on top. I just love doing such things!
   My website design business www.dkiss.biz  continues to grow. www.farmingtonview.com as well as www.mccallconstructionllc.com are a couple of my new creations, as well as www.polecat.biz . Recently I created a new website that spotlights my brother, Mark Mansfield. You can find this at www.monsee.biz . Check'em out!
  I've added a new section on my website here. Unique ideas. I decided it was time to start adding photos of past and current projects. This section is just getting started. As I uncover more past projects and create more I will continue to add them so keep checking back often.
  Another tidbit, Angie Morton, Bud's daughter-in-law continues to build her cake baking business. Trust me, her cakes are incredible and are "A Taste Above" all other cakes I've ever had. More about her business to come in the near future. 
  Also, Tabitha Herrin, my daughter continues to build her frozen casserole business. Preparing casseroles ahead of time and freezing them provides her family with hot nutrious meals even on those busy evenings when there is no time to cook. More about Tabitha's casserole business will also be coming in the near future. 
  Due to my own sensitive complexion, I've elected to become a personal use Mary Kay Consultant so I can get my products at cost. Let's face it, when it comes to skin care, there IS NO other better! Should you need something you may go to my consultant webpage at: www.marykay.com/sharidenise . They have alot of great Holiday gift ideas!
  I want to take the time to thank the Farmers of this great Nation who are hard at work in the fields right now in the midst of Harvest. Without them, WE go hungry! Each day at the office (Knox Co. Farm Service Agency) we strive to serve the farmers to the best of our ability. 
  I also want to thank each and every soldier in the Military. The sacrifice each one makes as well as their families back home does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. God Bless the USA!!!!

  It's gonna be an awesome holiday season! Get ready, get set, CREATE!
