Autumn

Welcome! Welcome! Fall has arrived. The leaves are beginning to change to beautiful colors on the trees, the air is crisp and cool and we seem to have a little more time to craft. I know you're surprised that I've put up another post and two months haven't gone by yet. ;) I have participated in some blog hops and challenges -- well one challenge HMFMC specifically. I was lucky enough to be a winner over on Sue Drees' blog. Thank you Sue! Even though I haven't posted much I have been creating cards, journals, gifts. I was hoping to do a craft show or two but things haven't worked out for them just yet. So hopefully I can find one or two before the holidays.

Once again I am unemployed and it does get a bit depressing at times. I do my best to stay positive. One thing I'm very thankful for is Brave Girls Club. I get the Daily Truth emails every day and they really help me to stay positive. I also go to Melody Ross' blog and read her posts which are inspiring as well. From time to time I comment. Yesterday I got an email from the tech guy at Brave Girls, an anonymous kind soul and Brave Girl gifted me the online course Soul Restoration 2. I'm so very thankful!! I truly believe with all the negativity surrounding me I truly need restoring. I'm looking forward to participating the next 6 weeks. So whoever you are please know that words cannot express how thankful I am! Well enough about me, onto the cards.

My Fall inspired cards:The Happy Harvest one above was inspired by some cards posted on Pinterest.




This Thanksgiving card was inspired by a Thank you card I saw on scrapbook.com. Very clean and simple. I love to emboss so that's how I changed it up to be more "me".

This is pretty much the same as above, only I cut out a tree from some Imaginisce paper I just got recently. I'm thinking this needs something more, what do you think?

Entering these cards in the challenges listed below:

Well I am guessing I didn't post my blog soon enough to enter the challenges that I wanted to :(. So no challenges entered for this post.

Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to visit. Hope to see you back soon!
