My Swappy Proudness

I have recieved my swappy goodness, but I didn't take any pictures. (my cards full at the moment)

I will say, it was awsome. So cool to get a crafty box of goodies.

I got the coolest ceramic napkin holder with colorful mums on it, a wonderful embroidered green apron and an amazing Collage. The collage was a wonderful shadow box, with a wonderful paper tree and little sign, words of encouragement and faith. (I will have to take a picture once I get all the cheer pictures off my camera)......

I have to admit that I lucked out on my Swap buddie. I entered after the deadline and got someone I knew ;) This made it really nice since it was my first swap.

I dont want this post to sound too proud, But man I really want to show you all my craftiness. I am so proud of myself. I actually sewed an apron, and it looks like an apron.

I think it even turned out nice. And My husband was nice enough to model it. (he said not to show anybody...Sorry honey)

But this is what I am most proud of.

How cool is this. I Junqued!!!

I took an old clock, and turned it into a picture frame.

I think I've been bitten by the junk bug. I see things in other peoples junk now... How cool is that....

The Colors of Fall

I love fall, and this year the colors around our neck of the woods are unusually bright. We always get alot of rain and wind, and the leaves don't last long.
But, this year is different. They are staying longer and getting brighter.

This barn is in our little town. Not smack dab in the middle but right off the road. I have always though it was cute. This morning while I was getting coffee (its right next to it) it was too beautiful to not take a picture. The colors were really bright and I was thinking of my friend in AZ. She would get coffee at the little coffee box too. So I jumped out of my car and took this picture just for her.

This is one of the trees that I grew up looking at. The school yard next door was rimmed with maple trees. The colors were amazing, and we loved to make huge piles of leaves and then jump in them.

This is my beautiful. She loves the leaves so much. Her favorite thing is when they blow off the trees and fall to the ground. Yesterday we were driving down the road, and the wind was blowing. She saw all these leaves flying around and wanted to play in them. So we did. I actually caught this picture with them flying in the air.

Happy Birthday Kiasa
