It's Fall, Y'all...

Okay, not really...

Since the Autumnal Equinox isn't for a couple more days, 

but the leaves are falling here!

I was also enjoying some Pumpkin Custard with Caramel topping,

and the girls are outside raking leaves...

so they can jump in them!

And we are going to have a fun time

with the September 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit...

which features leaves!

Autumn Pumpkins...

Along with some Pumpkin Spice Latte!

Autumn is a wonderful time of the year...

definitely my favorite time, as I believe it is for many of us!

I love the colors, decorations, cooling weather, and pumpkins!

Today's card showcases the season to me...

 and is great for a fall birthday...

especially for someone that enjoys these things this time of year too!

Along with a Product Spotlight Blog Hop...

More details a little further down in the post...

Figgy Birthday Card...

Today's card features the NEW Painted Harvest stamp set 

(Available in the NEW 2017 Holiday catalog that is coming out TOMORROW!),

along with a 2017-2019 In-color and a 2016-2018 In-color.

I love this Painted Harvest stamp set!

I have made quite a few cards with it already...

some I will share with you as this month goes along.

I also used it for some other decorative needs...

Beautiful Fall Day...

This afternoon warmed up nicely after a chilly start this morning...so the girls went outside to play in the leaves. I was able to catch some of the fun with the camera...

Out on the trampoline...

 Laughing on the large tree swing...

 Sweet girl...

 Swinging contentment...

 Watching the sun...

 Adorable girls :)

A Favorite Dessert...

Autumn is in full swing here...beautiful leaves, bright pumpkins, bountiful apples...oh how wonderful it is.

Wow! It's been TWO months since my last post, how time is getting away from me. Today, I'm breaking the silence :) to show you one of my all time favorite desserts...

Apple Dumplings!

Apple dumplings are wonderful, but are a little time consuming, so I don't make them often. However, today I decided that they sounded really good...so I took the hour or so out to prepare them and then tonight we can enjoy a very fall-ish dessert!

What's your favorite dessert?

Be strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak:

for your work shall be rewarded.
