Fall is in the air!

 Cooler Nights, Change of Colors. Comfort Food! Yeah, I can bake things in the oven without sending everyone outside, to escape the heat!

This was an unusual Summer. While our garden did fairly well, with some assitance from the garden hose. The garden has seen its best of days, All that is left, is some cold tolerant veggies.

Now it is time to bring the rest in. All the winter squashes and of course the pumpkins! This big guy will grace our front stairs. Well maybe we will have to move him somewhere else. The brushes and trees across the front yard, prevent anyone from seeing the porch, these days :)  When you begin your search for a pumpkin, stop by to see what My Hubby has grown!

Perspectives

 While I hope that everyone had a great summer. I am getting ready for fall. I was inspired to spend some time stamping and creating for my self.

I have been very interested in the art of Wendi Vecchini. I have wanted to create a wall hanging,an  inspiration picture to remind me of the important things.

Here is my creation. Enjoy! Create fun things

Creative Pursuits

Back to school. Back to Routine, hahahah. I make myself laugh soo hard.

I don't think as a mother, of teenagers, that I should not be able to anticipate their help in the general everyday tasks of home.
So to remind them of what I anticipate. Without me raising my voice I created this wall hanging.

I have not decided where exactly to hang it. First though would be on the refrigerator I think they would see it there. But, I may be wrong.  
 This was an inexpensive picture frame. Matting was removed. The Background is Comfort Cafe Designers Series Paper.
Other Items Used:
Pursuit of Happiness, Countryside Stamp stamp sets, Apothecary Accents framelits, vintage brads, crystal effects, micro beads (retired) Typeset Alphabet Bigz dies, Sizzix big shot.
