Fall Musings

 Finally, found a little bit of time to participate in Chris' All Kinds of Weather Theme at **Art*Journal*Journey.   I decided to do a nice and calm Fall Day - just cool enough for a light coat and hat. 

The background was painted super fast and sloppy, but I think that it makes a cool backdrop for the fun words that were included in one of the ArtStack collections I recently purchased. It fits me - I can always find something else do other than what I am supposed to be doing.  I am sure I am not the only one. 

I normally love to go outside during Fall because it is way too hot here in the Summer, but this year I have stayed in more.  Why?  Four recent snake sightings - all different types.   Hope you are enjoying your weather wherever you happen to be. 

Hugz,

Nancy

    Great journal page Nancy and is awesome for a page done fast and sloppy. You are so talented. Great saying. I’m a big procrastinator. Snakes….yep they are out here too. I avoid places where they are. Have a great week. Hugs jx

    Snakes would keep me inside too. Eeeks. I am loving your fall page, and your quick painting looks fantastic. And nice quote too. There is always so many things to do and not enough time, so life does end up being pick and chose, doesn't it? Thanks so much for sharing this with us at AJJ. It is a beauty and fits Chris' challenge perfectly. Have a great week. Hugs-Erika

    Ooh! Snakes! I think I would be keeping much to myself and not enjoying walking if there were snakes around my area. Hope they catch them soon.
    Lovely page in your Journal and yes, I can relate to that quote, so easily. I do like the background you have painted, the way you have painted the trees is so effective. A real delight.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    A fantastic autumnal page for Chris's theme at AJJ, thank you for linking with us Nancy.
    I don't think I would walk any where if there were snakes about. Stay safe.

    Fabulous card! And I can relate to that sentiment!
    I have enjoyed the fall weather this year...lots of nice days my way (except today...it was chilly outside) But for several days this past month it was warm enough for me to craft on my front porch. It was wonderful. I don't like being on display...where anyone going by could see me...but it is a crafter's dream. The weather was nice so I wasn't stuck in the house and I could be doing somthing that I love to do the most...and there was so much light to do my card making.
    Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments you have been leaving on my cards they are so appreciated. Hope all is fine with you and your family...Blessings, Jill

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
