Thankful Thoughts

This morning the temperature is a cool 38 degrees and the steam is lifting off the Lake here in Georgia with the sun rising in the background and the shadows reflecting trees that are ready to shed their leaves....no color to speak of yet, but you always know that when the temperatures begin to dip, the color is not far off....therefore the inspiration for my card today...

We are entering the Season of Giving Thanks.....thanks for many things that we sometimes take for granted, thanks for the little things in life that bring a smile to our face, thanks for the freedom to be able to live in this great Country, thanks to our brave Military for keeping us safe and most of all.....Thanks to God for the Beauty of his creation and his abounding Love.

May your day be filled with peace, love, understanding, and forgiveness as I leave you with my reflections from the Lake.......

October Halloween Goodies

I love the Fall months because the colors are amazingly bright, the air is much cooler, and everyone begins to get into the upcoming Fall Celebrations.....Craft Festivals, Halloween celebrations, Thanksgiving......

This month I had a blast with the Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin'Up.

We don't get trick or treaters in our neighborhood anymore and I really miss seeing the kids and passing out the goodies.....but I know that it is much better and safer for them to go to organized events....so I decided that I would make these for the grandchildren of a friend of mine......the bags are full of "chocolate" of course and the cards will have McDonald's or Chick Fil A gift cards.

Have a fun and safe October, as I leave you with reflections from the Lake as the leaves, acorns and hickory nuts begin to fall....
