FOTESS OCTOBER~~~ "ENTERTAINING"

last year

OCTOBER FOTESS......ENTERTAINING

Tiz the season to ENTERTAIN....or not...LOL!

This month we will not have partners....no shopping....no mailing!

All you need to do is set a table and take a picture. Think of it as a TABLE SETTING CONTEST!! It can be casual, formal, inside, outside, rustic...whatever turns you on. There must be some kind of plant life (flowers, plants, weeds...lol) on the table. And if you are “single”, that is fine as you can set a table for one person. No pictures from magazines or the internet PLEASE. You are allowed to submit more than one picture of your TABLE SETTING....in other words, several views of your table. Your TABLE SETTING can be themed or not!! And, of course, you do not need to be having a party to do this.

PLEASE give your TABLE SETTING a name!! HAVE FUN!!

As well, if you would like to enter more than one TABLE SETTING, that is A-OK.

The deadline to submit your TABLE SETTING(S) photos is Saturday, OCTOBER 22.

I am having a few party gatherings at the end of the month. I will have my guests at one of the gatherings vote for the #1 favorite.....

Participation has been low with our FOTESS and OBF groups. I will have some other ENTERTAINING games ect......depending on how many people sign up to play this month.

OK FOTESSERS, let's see what is on your “table”.....show all of us what you got!!

Any Q's please ask!! HAPPY OCTOBER!!

Shirley! My amazing package arrived yesterday. Brian and I spent the day away from home, and checked the mailbox after we returned late last night. To my relief, your package and another was in there. I am starting to wonder if something drastic must be going on at our regional mail distribution center.... The prize contents are amazing! Thanks so much, but especially for the tea and paper products. Really, I need to come hang out with you and learn how to make some of these cards and gift tags. They are so beautiful. ❤️

FOTESS OCTOBER ~ YOU "SPICE" UP MY LIFE SWAP~
Q

Amy, wow! LOL OH I absolutely love the deviled eggs with the gherkins, lol. Did you add the gherkins on the tops? DH thinks its so funny that I do that, but anyone that tries those, loves them, LOL! I have more of those seasonings if you would like or need more, I keep those on hand until I run out and then will make more. (usually only twice a year, around the time I harvest and dehydrate my peppers) The chocolate habanero salt sounds incredible on your scalloped potatoes! YUM ...My favorite is the cajun ghost, I use that with all kinds of things.... burgars, meatloaf, soups, olive oil dipping & dressings, fries, baked potatoes, potato salad, shrimp, pork chops, beef kabobs, steak tips, even toss a pinch of it on top salads... the list is endless.... The kodiak spice rub is DH's go too for salmon. I dont care for Salmon but he loves it! We do lots of tailgating and bbq's ...so that 'seasoning' is sorta one of my specialtys. Can you tell I enjoy cooking ....LOL So happy to hear you enjoyed those! =) heres a few others too....Let me know if you need more! LOL

Good morning. Hope your all having a good week. Annie, Thank you so much for the card and seeds. I took a picture, but my computer and pictures just don't seem to get along anymore. Lately all the pictures I download go somewhere to never be found again. Jeanne, glad your enjoying getting out and about again. I love your cardinal painting. We used to have four swaps a year besides our little Euless swaps. They always included us taking food to share. Spring and fall swap in Dallas and Fort Worth. The lady that used to run the Dallas swap stopped years due to health problems. The Fort Worth swaps just haven't had much interest since covid started. San Antonio and East Texas still have them. I've gone to one East Texas swap and a couple of Dallas ladies went to several San Antonio swaps. Beth, my daughter thinks both her and I had covid back in November 2019 also before we had heard of it. We were both pretty sick but who knows. So sorry about Jack. We are losing so many friends to cancer. Amy, don't worry about the hair. I'm pretty sure Urooj's hair that I sent her didn't do well either. I sent Dichondra seeds which I think would be awesome hair. Last year mine got about three or four feet long. This year so far it's about one to four inches. And most of that growth has been recent since we got rain and cooler off a little. We are flying to New York this weekend for a wedding. We haven't flown since covid started and I am not happy about flying.

Thanks, Annie. You spent lots of time on the games this month and it was fun! Congratulations to all the "entertaining" winners. I had fun doing this.

I hope we'll see everyone in November. I'm hostess for that month and promise to make it simple since I know it's a busy month for everyone.

Your Polish pottery is really beautiful. I loved all the table setting. I wish we actually ate at the table more than we do at home.

Annie, thank you for a fun and busy swapping month.

Annie so sorry I forgot about signing up for your table setting swap. I have had a most challenging month. If I don't write things down I cannot remember anything. Have to find a Dr. who can help me with my memory. Started when I got the COVID shots and getting worse.
