Sweet Fall.....

Am I the only one who is longing for fall?

Past Thanksgiving Projects...

Good morning!

It's hard for me to believe that the holidays are here already! And because I don't want to skip right over Thanksgiving and go straight into Christmas, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite past projects for this time of year. Enjoy!

Sweet Treat Turkey

Napkin Ring

Turkey Bag

Turkey Bucket

Pumpkin Card

Simple Box

Have you given any thought to what you are thankful for?

Caramel Apples and Pumpkins....

Good morning everyone!

October Stamp Club was last night and in the spirit of the changing season, we made Caramel Apple cards! This super cute idea was sent to me by a very special friend from Arkansas and I loved it the moment I laid my eyes on it!

All packaged up

Card outside the bag

It's the perfect gift for someone who doesn't need/want a lot of candy at one time or would be really cute as a place card at an Autumn dinner. All you'd have to do is tie a little tag with someone's name on it and you would be good to go! *Please ignore the spice bottle holding it up!*

And as an added bonus, I whipped up this sweet little pumpkin box as a giveaway at the class. I've found similar boxes around on the internet but this was my first time making it. I must say, I love it too! And since I gave away the last one, I'm going to make a second one for myself to keep and one to give away here! Once I reach that 50 follower mark of course.....

Thank you to all of my new readers who have taken the time to stop by and sign up as a follower. Your time is important and I appreciate you sharing a little bit of it with me!

Have a fantastic weekend!

My Favorite Fall Things....

Hi everyone!

In celebration of the changing weather, I thought I'd list some of my favorite things for this time of year....

1. Creamy Pumpkin products from Bath and Body Works.....be still my heart! I want it all!

2. Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks

3. Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer from CoffeeMate

4. The Autumn in the Country Cookbook from Gooseberry Patch. I will be making several things from the cookbook over the next month or so and will be sure to share them here.....

5. Cooler weather....enough said!

6. Anticipation of Holiday Bazaars

7. Soups.....anyone have a fantastic recipe they'd like to share?

That's enough for now. What are your favorite Fall things?

Autumn Blessings.....

Ah....the changing of seasons is definitely upon us!

I'm hoping to get the rest of my Autumn/Fall decor out some time this week but even if I don't, I smile every time I walk passed this little blessings sign. I love how it blends nicely with my existing decor and even more importantly how it reminds me of all that I've been blessed with. Have you stopped and looked around at your home lately? Really truly looked? We are SO blessed!

And in celebration of the season, I happily made a darker toned birthday card for my father in law's birthday. I hope you don't mind celebrating this particular season with me because there's a lot more to come!

Have a good day!

Welcome back my sweet friend....I have missed you!

Autumn Spice....

I promise that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth....it's just been a really busy time for us!

Today is Stamp Club day and I made a project using the brand new Autumn Spice Designer Paper. It is beautiful! And because it's one of the specialty papers from Stampin' Up!, it's thick and has a texture to it that just says Fall is on the way!

Am I the only one who is ready for it?
