Autumn Burn

Taken on a walk this past Saturday.
I was happy to still see signs of Autumn.

For the most part, we stayed close to home this weekend - I didn't want to overdo it.

I did, however, discover how much I love our new Planet Green channel.
Especially the show Wa$ted.

My mouth is on the mend, and I've been feeling better. Thank you for the well wishes.

I even finished organizing my little art station in the laundry room - even though it took all weekend.

We went out to breakfast this morning,
had some pancakes with pumpkin cream cheese topping,
cranberries, and walnuts -
they were delicious!

It's really 1:00am right now and I can barely keep my eyes open.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
Night-night.

~ A Stroll Through Oakland Cemetery ~

I was wondering how I could possible portray how I felt while in this majestic place.
And it wasn't until last night that I came up with an idea that satisfied me.
Now, Oakland Cemetery wasn't your everyday final resting place,
it's one of the oldest & largest cemeteries you will ever visit.
Unfortunately for us, we didn't discover that until our
last day in Atlanta. And the time we did spend
there was very little.

So, below is what I have tirelessly been working on,
okay, not tirelessly, but it took me some time to figure out
how to use Windows Movie Maker.

I can't even tell you how many times I've watched it.....
it makes me feel happy, sad, nostalgic, and thankful all at the same time.
I'm probably so attached to it because of how much I treasured that alluring haunt.
The victorian -styled cemetery was truly a captivating plot of land.

I hope this video conveys my feelings while strolling through Oakland Cemetery.
Sit back, turn the volume up, and enjoy.




A gift that's given
without any conditions
is the best of all.

Etc.

• Historic Oakland Cemetery Website

• I went to the dentist yesterday. Bye, bye wisdom teeth! I feel like crapolla, but in a good way :o)
  
• I intended to stay home from work today, but got called in at 8:30, our office was broken into and I had to check to see what was missing from my office. It is a rotten situation. I stayed till about 11:00, then came back home.
• Needless to say, I won't be partying for Halloween, instead, I'll be right here at home.

Share the Love : A Giveaway

This is one of several giveaways I plan to do from now until Christmas.
I'm sure you're curious to know what is coming, but that's for
me to know, and for you to find out! Typical. I know.

My goal for doing a series of giveaways is to, not
only promote Wayfaring Wanderer, but to do
something for those of you that
do so much to enrich my life.

I have met an amazing bunch via this blog, and through other people's blogs as well.
I have always tried to make it a point to find new people that pique my interest.
I've met writers, scrapbookers, digital/mixed media artists,
and of course, other photographers.



Sometimes I hide, but most times I'll comment. I'm a big commenter.
Other blogger's comment section is sometimes how I find new and interesting people.
And, more often than not, that's how someone will find my blog.
But let's do something different!

Instead of your typical leave a comment-and-your-
entered-to-win-giveaway, let's take the time to showcase someone
in the blogosphere who is special to you. In doing so, you get to recognize
a friend, and we can possibly meet someone new.

Let's share the love........
Nominate a fellow blogger to win a set of these greeting cards!

(This Giveaway is now CLOSED)

• Please leave a comment stating who you would like to nominate and why.
• If you would also like to receive an entry for yourself without receiving a nomination, just post about the giveaway, and the nominee at your blog. (if you do so, let me know)
  
• The winner will be announced on Tuesday. We plan to draw names.
• And since this giveaway is part of a series of giveaways, any nominations or entries received will continue to tally throughout the entire series of giveaways.
  
• i.e. If you receive any nominations or entries during this giveaway, they will carry over into the next giveaway. No math necessary, that increases your odds of winning.
• I will pick three winners to receive two cards each.
• And because I want you all to win some of the cool stuff I have in mind to bestow upon you, bloggers are only eligible to win one giveaway in the series.
• Please do not add this or any of WW's giveaways to those giveaway link blogs.....I want this to be for friends, and about friends.
  

*****If you have any questions whatsoever, please ask. I know I like to make things complicated!

This is in response to the long overdue
pay it forward challenge from
Angry Asian Creations.
