NEW FALL PROJECT

 I kind of needed something "new" to go with my other fall decor.

Here are some of my favorite things about fall that I put in a frame. I used a piece of scrap booking paper for the back ground.

CHARGER PLATE REQUEST

 I recently had bloggie buddy SAIMI  ask for a reminder about some charger plates I made last year for my bazaar.

I posted all four that I made so that she could see several versions of what I put on the charger plates.  I got the chargers at Walmart last year but am not sure if they have them this year.  Any pretty plate will work but the charger plates are larger than the standard dinner plate.

If you would like to make one of these and don't have access to a vinyl cutter just shoot me an email (connie_hall57@yahoo.com) and I will make some for you.  The cost is $3 each plus $1.25 shipping.

A POST WORTH REPEATING

I made these fall topiary's two years ago and thought I would post about them again.  After all, it's that time of year again.   You know, when the leaves begin to change and the gardens are giving one last hurrah for the harvest.

I found these two garden pots at Goodwill and knew that they had potential, I just wasn't sure exactly what I would do with them.  Out came the black spray paint.

 After I sprayed the pots I stared gathering some fall decorations hoping that something would spark my creativity.

 I turned the pots upside down, the pumpkin seemed to fit better that way.

I just used a knife to cut away the stem so the next pumpkin would sit on top nicely.

I printed up some vinyl lettering to go on the pumpkins.

The vinyl lettering actually stuck well.

Here they began to take shape.

This is what the final product turned out to be.

Note:  I got the styrofoam pumpkins at Michael's but I have seen them many other places since then.

MMMM!!! PEACH PIE

Yesterday afternoon I made a peach pie. 

Just as it was ready to come out of the oven our son, daughter-in-law and grandson walked through the door.

Perfect timing!

After it cooled for about 15 minutes we dished each of us up a piece and plopped some

 vanilla ice cream on top.

Grandson William was on my lap and slurped up all the ice cream from the top but wasn't too fond of the pie.  Some day he will appreciate homemade peach pie.

Not very long after consuming said pie I found these two very content individuals sleeping it off.

Too much of a good thing is WONDERFUL!

Guess what I had for breakfast this morning?

More sweet, ooey gooey peach pie!

What a way to start the week.

I've Been Playing Around

With my Silhouette, that is.  They have such cute images.  Here I used five different Halloween images and put together this fun Halloween picture.

You do know that Halloween will be here before we know it 'cause summer just flew by and it is September already.  I need to get my fall decorations out but can't quite let go of summer yet.  So for now I will settle for this little reminder.
