Hello,Scrappers and Crafters!
Unable to post for the last couple of days, due to no Internet connection,the rain finally fell here and took some of the humidity out of the air and turned my connection back on! WooHoo!!
I would like to celebrate my one year blog and upcoming 100Th post with a challenge for all who would like to give it a try.
It is my way of saying thank you for all the wonderful products I have received over the past couple of years, thru various challenges on blogs and boards that I have participated in.
I have not decided yet on how I will draw a name,I would like to check into a random generator,or all who participate will have there names in a hat and be drawn.
Okay,on to the challenge.
This challenge is open to all who would like to give it a try !
For those of you who visit my blog on a regular basis,you know by now that fall is my favorite time of the year.
I love everything about this season...need I say more? :)
For your challenge I would like to have you share your favorite fall layout, project, card,tip or recipe that has to do with the season. That's it!
The prize will be this fun little Halloween kit of Martha Stewart products I have put together for you.

This is my favourite time of year too! I do love some good pumpkin recipes and I was addicted to this one this time last year and think it's time to get it out again! Great as a dip, in a pie or all by itself!

I love Fall :-)
Congrats on you ONE YEAR Blogoversary! Awesome prize you have offered!
Congrats!!! Great RAK.
ReplyDeleteFavorite Fall Tip - use tiny cookie cutters to cut out leaves from Almond bark or smashed marshmellows to decorate your deserts (and drinks!!)
I love fall too! The cooler temps, leaving the windows open at night, the leaves changing color! Along with the cooler temps, we need something to warm up with! The perfect solution:
ReplyDeleteHOT SPICED APPLE CIDER
2 quarts apple cider (or juice)
½ cup brown sugar
2 whole cinnamon sticks
1 tsp. Whole allspice
1 ½ tsp. Whole cloves
1 orange, sliced
Put allspice and cloves in bag. Mix all ingredients in large pot and heat.
So great for a fall hay ride!
wel go outside and grab as much fallen leaves as you can find. sew them like beads on a dread an bind together so you'l get a circle
ReplyDeleteVerry decorative, fun to do and it smels like jummy fall
Sorry for my english but I hope you'l understand
Hugs Moon

I came from Deanne's blog.
ReplyDeleteI love fall. I love the crisp air when you come out to get the paper or get the kids out the door for school. We always have pumpkin soup in the fall.
I cut a good chunk of a pumpkin, add veggies add chicken boullion(the kind that's already made up because it is easier) and let it cook on low all morning. yumm
I <3 Fall!!! It's the most beautiful time of the year, it smells so nice and crisp, I can finally survive and get a good night sleep in my apartment! Everything about it is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI just completed a layout for Sisterhood of Scrap using fall colors. This ended up being my new-all-time favorite layout. It is of my uncle who passed away from cancer just a few months back and his daughter- back in 1989!!!!
