Thankful Square Pillow Box

Today I want to show you one of the projects from our Downline ShoeBox Swap. This project was designed by Pam Hegarty.  I love the Gold Metallic Thread behind the acorn.  A nice touch don't you think? And she found this cute little candy pumpkin that fits in it just perfectly.

Fall is my favorite season, even though living in Phoenix we don't experience the changing of colors, I can recreate them with my stamping designs and home decor.
My first project is a Fall card that anyone would enjoy receiving.  I designed this card using the perfect colors for fall and a great saying as a focal point.  All products used are from Stampin' Up!®.  A complete supply list can be found at the bottom of this post.

I love to decorate my home for the seasons.  I created this Fall Banner featuring Into the Woods Designer Series Papers. The colors I used are the same colors in the papers.  You can hang this alone or add it to a wreath on the front door to welcome your friends and family. All products used are from Stampin' Up!®.  A complete supply list can be found at the bottom of this post.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today and checking out the blog hop. I hope you enjoyed my projects and all the projects from the other hoppers.

Sunday Afternoon Drive

Still in West Virginia and today was a beautiful day.  We went out for a late lunch and then for a drive through the country.  On Sunday's while growing up, we would go to church, then eat out, followed by a drive through the country, on narrow roads, past farms and creeks.  So we did that today.  It was so nice to do this again with Bryan and my parents. 

Beautiful green trees

Old barn along the country road

Flowers at my parent's home.

I feel very blessed today to be able to enjoy the simple things and special times with my family.

We aren't in Phoenix

Today I woke up in the home that I grew up in and ready to enjoy a beautiful day.  Bryan and I traveled to Hurricane, WV yesterday and didn't arrive at my parent's home until late in the evening.  After a long day of flying and then driving we were exhausted.  Today I met my friend Robin for lunch and some much needed catching up.  We have been friends since our school years.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  Nothing stamped to share today, but will resume as soon as I am back in Phoenix.
