A Chilly Fall Day...

It's a chilly, rainy, wet, soaked, and downright yucky day here in Bowling Green, KY. We have lots planned though. A football game to attend to and then we are heading to Double Dogs to watch the Georgia Bulldogs play today. We cannot get the game. However, if we want to spend $135.00 plus taxes then we can watch it on PPV. What the heck is with that?! So, we will go watch it where it will be played locally. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving for our Canadian neighbors and although we celebrate Thanksgiving at different times and for a different reason, they pretty much have the same dinner that we do here in the "lower 48." So, Happy Thanksgiving Canada! We have purchased 15 mums and we will get them in the ground this morning. They are gorgeous. We got them from a mum farm here and they are huge! We only paid $3.00 for each mum and if we were to buy them in the Atlanta area they would be about $18.00 each. So, it is a "find" for sure. I will be sure to take photos once we put them in the ground and post here. The leaves are starting to show their colors here as well. I give it a week and we will be in full color of Fall. Lots of hardwoods here and not many pines, so it proves to be beautiful for sure.

I will leave you today with a few cards I have made. They are simple but I sure do love the paper and I wanted the patterned paper to be the main design itself. I just could not cover it up! I will also post 3 little Halloween cards that I threw together to use some of my leftover goodies as well.I

Autumn Fun and Altering!

Gosh, I am digging the nip in the air this morning. So much so, that I played in my scrap room at 6:45 AM this morning and these altered bottles and card are my creations. We plan on going to the fair this weekend and I hope I see some new inspiration. I know that I will take plenty of pictures to be sure. Honestly, I have not one idea what I will do with these altered goodies but it sure is darn fun to create!

Gotta LOVE PAPER, huh?

Have a SPOOKTACULAR weekend!

A Frightful Fest

I have been loving all the Halloween goodies on the market. I have more arriving today along with some Christmas themed papers as well. Gotta love it! My newest favorite creation as of late is the this mini-book I created for my daughter. I wanted a durable book that she could flip through and read the poem I wrote her about Halloween. It is a huge hit! She goes through it several times every evening and has been bragging about it to her classmates and I am sure it will make a debut appearance for reading time at school. I plan on making a stop by later this month for mystery reader time.


What is so great about these papers that I still have mounds of scraps and thought I would create some simple cards to send my son. For me, simple is something I am learning but I do really love using lots of goodies on my pages and cards. It is just so much fun.

I plan on scrapping more today. I am really on a roll here lately. Looking forward to the leaves changing soon and I hope we have great color this year. So, go create something fun and give it to someone and brighten their day. There is something special about handmade gifts!
