Amazed

Yesterday the sunrise caused the sky to be this amazing pinkish salmon color.....it was breathtaking. I decided that my canon wouldn't really capture this amazing color anyway, so I just stopped & soaked it in while it lasted-something I rarely do as I usually love to document my moments on film.

Since I don't have window treatments on my downstairs rooms, they just glowed this amazing pink color. The girls came downstairs & were wondering what was going on .....why did everything look so wild outside.

I love it when God does that---throws in an everyday miracle.

Something that makes me stop & be amazed at his creation.

He knows we love the color pink around here & since I felt a little blue yesterday I like to think that he sent me that "little gift".

A little reminder that He's always with me.

He knows my every thought & sees my every tear.

Psalm 19
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Earlier in the week I took Emi & Caroline over to the little pumpkin patch near our home. Might be the last time I get my baby to wear a smocked dress. The only consolation for her was that I told her I doubted she'd see anyone she knew.

As if...

Anyway, they had the most fab selection of pumpkins I've seen here in Georgia & a great selection of bumpy gourds.

My sweet Emi does not like to be photographed

so I am so lucky she was in the mood that day,

well, for one anyway!

My aunt & uncle gave me this wonderful huge antique dough bowl. I mean its huge~ almost the length of my kitchen table.

I love to fill it with seasonal goodies or just leave empty out on my back porch table.....

its so gorgeous even when its empty. Definately one of my most favorite treasures.

Filled it with my fun bumpy gourds & I love it!

(See girls,

if the kitchen was still raspberry

these fun oranges, yellows & greens

would look just plain awful in there!)

Last year I won a Halloween kit from Heidi Swapp. It came the week before Halloween & i just never got around to creating with it. This fun picture of Caroline ( I'll share the zoom of the photo later this month) was what won-was supposed to be a best costume pic but Heidi liked the fun image of Caroline so we were one of the winners anyway!

(One of these days I need to share the layout she created for me. It was a summer layout from two years ago in a photo contest she had. Sent in photos & she used them to create a layout for the winner & its was lucky ole' me. It is absolutely amazing. I'll share that one later too.)

I think these papers are from my September Jenni Bowlin kit.....

look at me--

actually up to date with my kits!!

A Jennifer Lanne inspired painting I did in my art lesson friday.

Reminds me of my trip to New Hampshire & Vermont a few years ago.

For a couple of years my family celebrated a wonderful harvest party with some of my lifelong dearest friends. Roasting marshmallows, glittering pumpkins, grilling out & just enjoying each others company.....so I did a house layout of my little fam at my girlfriends front door from that night.


That's all....
sort of hodgepodgey--
enjoy your day!
