Tuesday Turn About #274 More October Fun
Tuesday Turn About #274 More October Fun: Fall is one of the fave times of year for many! This week, let’s have more October fun!
TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #274 MORE OCTOBER FUN
We had lots of tips and fun at last week’s party.
It’s mid-October, and we are having lots of fall fun at the party this week!
So much fun that we even have a baker’s dozen of features this week!
This week, we have tablescapes, recipes, crafts, and even a sage-colored furniture-makeover (gotta keep with the theme, right?).
So, are you ready to get to it? Grab a mug of your fave drink and let’s peruse together!
Abode Adventures
Drum roll, please…
This week… I started painting my kitchen cabinets!!!
Can you believe it? (I can hardly!) The frames of the top cabinets are just about finished, and tomorrow I will start the bottom frames and take pics for a blog post.
Have to say, I’m lovin’ the color!
The Social Security Card…
… has still not arrived. Womp, womp. However, I did get an email this past Friday saying it had been mailed. Lord-willing, it arrives today or tomorrow. Please pray the job is still open. I know it will be if the Lord feels it’s best for me.

My Wee Finds
Since my cabinets are on the way to being finished, I figured I would purchase my backsplash material on Prime Day. This Stickgoo Peel-and-Stick Subway Tile looks great! Can’t wait to get it installed!
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m trying to live a healthier lifestyle these days, and food storage is one of those areas I’m focusing on. Instead of using plastic freezer bags for meal prep, these small glass storage containers should do the trick. They are freezer safe AND oven safe!
Since I’m hoping to start at Hobby Lobby this week…
…I’m fixin’ to up my makeup game that went by the wayside during 2020. Because my skin is ‘mature’, I find that eyeliner fades and doesn’t apply smoothly. I’m hoping this gel eyeliner from Almay will help! It’s also EWG.org approved! (Told you I’m working on my health. 😉 )
Weekly Household Tip
Do you hate stinky sponges as much as I do? Well, I found the answer, and it is a great scrubber, too. I found these Scrubbie Sponges at the county fair this year, and they have been a game-changer… seriously!
They come in all sorts of cute shapes and colors, but I just use the regular round ones that match my kitchen. (They make great “stocking stuffers” for grown children and grands… even your friends!)
Weekly Blogging Tip
So, as I’m perusing the posts each week here at the party, I’m still coming across quite a few sites that either don’t have a social share button for Pinterest, or their photos are not enabled to pin.
My suggestion is, be sure to have a social share plug-in enabled on your site. Also, double-check for a Pinterest icon that appears on your images, so your readers (and I) can save your post to Pinterest for later viewing. 🙂 If you don’t have the icon or share button, I can’t pin your post to the TTA Pinterest board. 🙁
Okay… let’s get to this party! It’s a biggun’!
Though not a requirement at all, I would be SO blessed if you would subscribe and/or follow me either here on the blog, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram. Thanks!

My entries this week are numbered #60+61
Thanks for joining, Esme… I went to link up to your party today, and I couldn’t find it. Went over to Melynda’s and linked-up there!
Thanks for responding, it’s odd that you could not find the linkup. When you visit my site, you will always see it in the sidebar under recent posts. Glad you managed to linkup via Melynda.
You can also bookmark https://esmesalon.com/tag/seniorsalonpitstop/, and then you should have no issues to find the latest and most current open linkup there.
Yep… that’s where I always go… and I can only see #332 at the top, and it’s closed. Weird.
We are now on #333: https://esmesalon.com/inlinkz-333-senior-salon-pit-stop/
I am working on this and hope to get whatever gremlins are hard at work booted and all sorted. Sorry for all the trouble.
I went to your home page, and it’s viewing now. Thanks!
Thanks so much for checking back. I managed to boot the gremlin that caused all the havoc. I am truly sorry for all the issues. See you again next week and feel free to add more links if you wish.
