I really enjoy making cards, and probably do more in the fall than any other time of year. I keep a few birthday cards on the shelf for that last minute remembrance, but my favorite kind of stamping is in Autumn colors and themes.

Making Christmas Cards
Every year, I get behind on stamping and creating cards for holidays, so let's get a head start this year. There are lots of ways to make your own cards, some using stamps and ink, some using elements of cards you received in the past, some with elements of stickers and die cuts. No matter …
Sunday Chat
An early morning view from the veranda this past week showed fog in the valley, and low clouds. We so desperately need rain that this was a welcome sight. The fire danger in this area is huge, as the downed trees and dead limbs from Helene are still prevalent all over the county, and may …

Sunday Chat – Christmas Fun
This past week, we went with friends to see the Lake Julian Festival of Lights. I love this small, drive-through light show in a small park in Arden, NC. We go most years, but I have to say I had more fun this time than ever. We listened to Christmas music, circled the route twice, …
