This is one of my favorite times of the year . . . after the hot days of summer its beginning to get cooler – the air is crisper in the morning and evening making walks across the dam more comfortable . . . the acorns are dropping off the oak tree and squirrels are gathering them for winter (and my cat is having a ball chasing the squirrels) . . . on my drive to and from work I can see the leaves in the trees along the way changing colors everyday . . . this is truly a beautiful time of the year here in Northern California . . . it is also at this time to year that my nesting instincts begin to kick in and I start spending more time indoors decorating the house for the holidays, cooking, reading, sewing and scrapbooking of course . . .

Back in August, in preparation for fall, I took a class a PSB where I learned to make these adorable fall borders from Barb using my Expression’s Cricket machine . . .

Aren’t they the cutest things!!!! . . . thanks Barb for taking time out of your busy schedule to help us learn how to use our Cricket machines

Well that’s all for now . . . thanks for stopping by . . .
