Crafting, Crafting, Crafting

I love my craft room, it's my space and my space alone.  This weekend, after inspiration and tools from

my mom and sis I decided to give another go at making cards.  Guess what I found out???  It's a whole lot more fun when you've got the know-how and tools that you need.  I also made 20 candy packets and 20 purses that contained fuzzy socks with little rubber grippers on the bottom for the 20 shut-ins who are members of the First Church of the Nazarene.  And tonight I threw together this little jazzed up flower vase--been playing with glass jars of all kinds, hoping to inspire something inside of me :)

Do I have a favorite season?

Is it too early to decorate for fall?  I have been asking myself that question since the first of August and finally this last week the hubs gave in and let me decorate.  I've always said that I could never live were there isn't a change of seasons.  I enjoy the first budding flower as much as I enjoy the anticipation of the first snow fall.  But I have to admit that fall has all the components that make me so very happy; the changing of the leaves and the way they smell, the way they crunch when you walk thru them; the cooler temps, especially in the evening; the fire pit and all it's glories like roasting marshmallows :), the color scheme--I love reds and yellows and browns and oranges, pumpkins, mulled cider, fall festivals, a trip to the apple orchard and my list could go on and on.
