Blog Candy time

edited: finally I was able to upload the album (see below).

I have been so busy lately with hosting a crop and then attending one this past weekend (wonderful time had by all!!), that I missed noticing I have over 20,000 hits! Wow! How did that happen?

This past weekend when I attended the scrapbook retreat I did some serious thinking while cropping (well part of the time anyway Ü). I really want to spend more time scrapbooking and making papercrafts and less time on the internet (which takes ALOT of time since we have dial up!!), so I decided to drop from some groups I'm in. I also want to give more time to my blog sharing not only the items I make, but using it as a type of diary for friends and family too. So I have dropped from the groups as of this morning and hope that gives me more time doing the things I want to do. I have also been working on some design team submissions and hope some day that someone out there likes my work enough to ask me to join. Ü

Okay, back to the blog candy. I love fall and taught this fall purse album at my crop. I will also include some other fun fall items (not sure yet what they are Ü) with this purse album. What do you have to do to enter? Tell me your favorite thing about fall. As you probably have heard me say repeatedly, I LOVE fall! I love everything about it! The cooler weather, the sights (gorgeous colors start to show now), the smells (cider, pumpkin, s'more's over a fire), the sounds (crispy leaves beneath my feet-got to kick in some at the camp this weekend Ü)-cheers at ball games and x-country meets, and the tastes-soups, chowders, cider, and anything pumpkin. Ü Those are just a *few* of my favorite things, what are yours? Leave me a post by Thursday noon CST and I will pick a number randomly for the winner.
Here it is closed:
and opened: (there are 3 colors for the inside; green, rust and yellow)

  6. Fall is my favorite season because of the colors and the holidays. I am a teacher and I love celebrating Halloween and Thanksgiving with the kids. I try to read fun stories and do craft activities. For Thanksgiving I like to cook at school with the kids, a great way to learn measurement. As for the colors, you can't beat the shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. This is why I love fall!

  7. Congrats on the 20,000+ hits! Wow! Summer is still my favorite season but must say that I love the fall smells - the gorgeous colors of the leaves changing - watching the squirrels run around collecting nuts for the winter - the crunching of the leaves as you walk and even the slower pace that life seems to take on. Plus the yummy Butternut squash. Thanks for the chance to win.

  11. Love the purse and the album. I love fall but my favorite is spring when everything is coming to life. What I like about fall is the color in the mountains around my home. I love walking in the woods and hearing the sound of the leaves under my feet. I also love the pumkins and the great smells that come along with fall.

I was married in the fall (Oct. 5) I love that my baby boy was born in the fall (Nov 14). I love warm, cozy comfort food - I love Thanksgiving. I loved Indiana in the fall (I sooo miss Indiana). I love scrapbooking fall pictures cuz I get to use those beautiful fall pattern papers that are out. Oh, and Halloween too....love Halloween cuz I love taking my kids trick or treating. Ok...I guess enough about what I love about fall. I'm glad to be able to catch up with you through your blog.

  14. Hi, Debbie,
    I am glad you are taking time for yourself and choosing what you want to spend time doing. I love catching up with you via your blog. (Some days I miss Rubber Angels). Well, I love the fall, too. I love "sweater weather" and the crisp smell of the air. I love hot tea and apple cider. I also love the fall because that is when I got engaged. And now I have a new love of fall because I just discovered that I am pregnant!!! It has taken two years...and Frank and I are so excited. Well, enough from me. Have a great day!

  19. My favorite thing about fall is heading back to school. I work at an elementary school, and as much as I love my summer holidays, I really like my job. I love Thanksgiving family dinner, the kids at school in their halloween costumes. It's a great time of year!
