Fall In the Mountains

Happy Hump Day My Loves,

I hope you are well and that your week is going good so far! It's okay for me. We were up in the mountains this past weekend at our family camp so still trying to decompress from that. It was awesome being up there as usual but boy did it get cold on Friday night. I went down to 35°. It was really cold feeling after being 91° the day before, grrrrr..... This was our last trip of this year so that was making me feel sad. It's just too cold for me to go up over the winter months. I hate the cold so indoor stuff for me once the cold gets here, lol.

It was cold, but super pretty both days we were there. The sky was beautiful. It was also a great weekend for seeing black bear. We saw about 4 or so different bear this weekend. Our last trip up in August I had seen a bear both mornings at camp when were there so for this trip up I decided to do some bear nails in hopes of seeing more bear this past weekend and seeing bear we sure did :) It was super exciting and super great to see the bear. I've got some pics of the bear and our weekend after my nails. I love, love, love these bear nails. Was so happy with the way they turned out. I was going for a bit of some Fall sunset colors and think these turned out super pretty, hope you like them too :)

My base is Essie "At the Helm". I sponged China Glaze "Give Me S'more", Essie "Hay There", Essie "No Shade Here" and China Glaze "Good As Marigold" on the nails to be stamped. I stamped with ZZ Forest 1 and 2 plates and Funky Fingers "Dark Knight". I put a coat of an unknown no label glitter shimmer on my pinkies and index nails to finish.

At the Helm on it's own, the perfect base for these nails I think :) 

Hope you liked my bears in the woods nails. I love them and am still wearing them :)

Here's some pics from our weekend! This is our camp and and the bus, I love it. It's a 1939 school bus that was converted a long long time ago and has been in our family for about 60 or so years now!

 A cool road sign :)

 The sunset on the mountains by our camp.

 Part of the Sinnamahoning Creek near our camp.

 The PROPA rock which is a Facebook rock group for Pennsylvania I am in that was at a neighbor's camp and I added the Fall rock to it since I had taken some rocks up with me to hide. I was so excited when I saw that rock at this camp :)

 The Austin Dam Memorial Park. In 1911 the dam broke and killed 78 people and destroyed the paper mill that it supplied water too. It's a beautiful remembrance park and I never tire of going there.

 The dam ruins.

 Painted rocks around the park left by hippies from a music festival that they have there each summer. I loved seeing all the hippie art :)

 The Bayless Pulp and Paper Mill ruins. They are so neat looking.

 And here's the bear we saw on Saturday night, it was so exciting. This was at our neighbor's camp.

That's it for today. Have a great rest of the week. Talk to you this weekend when I do my Walking Dead season premiere nails a week late, didn't get to do any this past Sunday since we got home that day from camp. I leave you with some super cute old pics I came across of my boy, Buster, who went to Rainbow Bridge back in December of 2017. He was a sweet cat and I miss him even though he did drive me crazy at times.

Polish & Purrs,

Melly
