Fall Is Here! Mummy Cups, Pumpkin Beer, Pumpkin Spice Creamer, and Some Art

Yay! We had the first few stirrings of fall yesterday.  Don't get me wrong, it was still hot enough for heat stroke here in Central Alabma, but we felt a few breezes and the mornings were tolerable.  I have been waiting for this since May!  Looks like we may actually have a day or two in the 70s this week. Praise the Lord!

To celebrate I bought this super fun Mummy cup at the grocery store yesterday.  Isn't it adorable?  I have a mummy loving grandson that is going to flip over this.  

I bought myself a few fun fall items at the grocery store too.  Pumpkin ale and pumpkin spice creamer. 
These are my tickets to Elizabeth's T-day party where we share some drink related fun every week (everyone is welcome - you just need something about drinks in your post - can even be one of your favorite movies with a drink of any kind in it).  Happy T-day friends!

In celebration of fall, I also painted up this lovely card.  I followed THIS fabulous tutorial on YouTube. 
After an early morning peewee football game, I spent Saturday with my Sister and Aunt where we crafted, laughed, and caught up with each other. I got a head start on some ATCs I am doing for a swap at Splitcoaststampers.com.  I painted this fun gnome  - watercolor and white acrylic paint. Isn't he adorable?
Hope you have a lovely week!

Hugz,

Nancy

    We're still on the road so I am way behind on commenting. We've tried a lot of different beers here in Newfoundland.

    Oh pumpkin beer. I haven't bought any yet, but it is time, isn't it? I can tell I am further north because our days have been in the 60's. Summer is definitely gone from NH. Your mummy cup is too fun also. But really Nancy, you can paint. What wonderful images you created on your cards. Happy T day, and enjoy your fall pumpkin. hugs-Erika

    The Night Owl - super cool! As the coffee mate.
    Wow to your art. Oh, I am sad we had to let go of summer.

    I think our fall just hit 89 degrees here! Actually we're supposed to have a day or two of the upper 80's so that's good.
    Love the ATC's. FUN!

    Hi Nancy!
    Oh, we have much cooler weather in Austria - it's below 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20.1 degrees Celsius) in our house, which we find a bit cold / uncomfortable, but we want to save heating energy this year because we don't know if we will get through the winter ("thanks" to Putin's war and the lack of gas)... and outside the temperatures are usually around 13 to 14° C (ie 55-57° F) and it rains on many days . I think it's the rainiest September here in many years. But it's okay, we also had a rather dry summer (not as dry as you guys in Alabama, of course).
    The mummy cup is the burner! :-DDD I think you're already in Halloween mode ;-)
    Your autumn card and the gnome are charming!
    Hugs and happy T Day,
    Traude

    Your fall card is so beautiful and I also like the little gnome, so cute. I'm sure your grandson will love that mummy cup, how much fun is that! I'm not so sure about pumpkin beer though, I love pumpkin in pumpkin bread and occasionally a pumpkin spice latte, but that's about it. When I went to my grocery store this morning, there was pumpkin-something everywhere - a bit too much for me, but then I don't have to buy it. Happy T day, Nancy.

    What a fun and charming post, Nancy. I LOVE that mug. It is hilarious. A bit quirky and a bit jolly.

    It's pumpkin time at the grocery stores. I haven't seen the pumpkin creamer yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. I stopped at a Whole Foods for the first time last week and was met with all kinds of gourds and pumpkins before I ever got into the store!

    Your card is stunning. It is beautiful. I really like your gnome ATC, too. I'm sure the recipient will adore it.

    Thanks for sharing your lovely card and ATC, as well as your pumpkin inspired and related drinks with us, as well as your mug, for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

    What a lovely cup. Why is it called a mummy cup? Wow your painted card is amazing! And the gnome is cute too.
    I recognize the brand Coffeemate, but I've never seen pumpkin flavour. (we don't have that in Europe, at least of all the countries I have traveled in, I have never seen it).
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca

    Halloween just keeps getting more and more elaborate! Witches, pumpkins (carved or not), pumpkin spice (with or without the actual pumpkin), ghosts, tombstones, and now mummies on everything!

The Sea, Words of Courage, and Some Ink/Watercolor

Hello friends, Last week felt like a stormy sea of its own with my husband recovering from recent hip replacement surgery and several friends and family members facing life battles - my heart was caught in the waves. Computer issues and lack of sleep didn't help. Mark 4:39-41 reminded me: even when the winds rage, Jesus is in the boat. He speaks peace over the chaos. “Peace, be still.” I needed that reminder. Several lovely Creative Worship Stamps sets were used in the making of this watercolored and inked BAJ page: The Sea (the boat and verse), Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grasses, and Have Courage . This page was stamped, then watercolored with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I finished it off with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, and Ground Expresso), plus a little bit of Silver Stickles. We have a lot of things going on in life and you time is precious, thank you for spending a little bit with me.  Hugz, Nancy

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy
