Tag Tuesday: #2 – Fall blessings

nov4_2014a

Hello and welcome to Tag Tuesday. For my second installment, I thought a fall theme. Although the temperatures here lately make me think of winter.  I used a digi from The Paper Shelter and colored her up with my Copics. I bought this image because it reminded me of my love hate relationship with fall. I am a big fan of the fall on the east coast.  I love the crisp air and smell of wood burning and am still in awe of the vibrant colors when the leaves change.  The relationship typically sours when the leaves start to fall. Because then I am faced with raking and bagging them.  So this year, I got on board and we have hired someone to do this for us so we can use those hours doing something we enjoy and my back is also grateful.

I used Crate Paper ‘Farmhouse for the paper on this tag.  The deep rich colors make me happy.  I pulled a coordinating ribbon out of my stash and then topped it with this fun wool-like flower from Recollections. For the words I used a Jillibean Soup label from my Project Life stash.

I hope you are having a great day. Today is election day and I will be heading out to vote this morning with my boys and then treating them to the movies.

Have a blessed day!

Pumpkins

Hello and Happy Monday!

I was having some internet issues this morning so I am a bit delayed in this post.  I hope you all had a fun Halloween. Luckily the weather was decent so we were able to take the boys out for tricks and treats.  Apollo was a Samurai and Nicholas was a wizard. I even dressed as a Huntress.

Apollo brought home his pumpkin he decorated at school on Friday. It’s now placed on a shelf in my craft room so we can enjoy it’s cuteness.

Every year the boys ask me when are we going to carve pumpkins. I say soon. So this year I let them pick mini pumpkins and I drew the design and Leao carved (they are a bit to young to handle a knife).

pumpkincarving1Apollo wanted a face and Nicholas wanted an N on his. I think they came out really cute.  I took the seeds and roasted them. I remember my mom doing that  when I was a little girl and I would love the smell of them roasting.

Well I am going to go grab some lunch. But I will be back tomorrow with my second installment of my new blog series, Tag Tuesday tomorrow.

Have a blessed day friends.
