Yes.....A New Post.

 

 I've been working on a few new things over the past few months. Here is one.

 Here  I'm working with liquid water colors. It is a special order from Discount School Supply. I could not find it in a regular arts and crafts store.

 The possibilities are endless. You have to be careful, It stains your hands and your clothes, so please wear a paint shirt.

 You can dilute it with water ( I recommend) You can add texture, with a number of things around the house. Here, I used screen. Best of all it comes in a wide variety of colors.

You then can make it into a fun collage.

It is Here...

 Fall has come to Michigan and it is just beautiful.

 The air had turned cooler and the leaves have started to turn.

 The most beautiful shades of orange, yellow, red and green.

 The squirrels are busy peeking into windows looking for food.

 Pinecones have started to fall and,

needless to say we have an overabundance of acorns. Last year we had very few.

 

 

Enjoy it while we can, colder weather and snow will be here before we know it.

What A Wonderful Week-end....

Wow, when I got home from work on Friday I was surprised to see the mailbox was full. Two large packages and they were for me 

 

 

I received this beautiful Autumn wreath from Kim at The Wiccan Life. I had won her giveaway. It has all of my favorite fall colors.

 

 The detail is so nice. Ribbons, leaves wooden charms and well...it's just beautiful. Thank you Kim so very much. Please check out her Blog for other great thins she makes.

 The second package came from Gina in England. Her blog is Daydream Believer I had made a swap with her. I sent her a Faerie Cottage. Which  had made especially for her.

 She sent me an Ooka Doll. She is just wonderful. I decided to name her after Gina. I call her Gia of the Woodlands.

 She loves to sit amongst the Faerie Cottages. Each morning I find her in different areas of my house. Each morning she is in a different spot.

 

She is just wonderful and has made friends with all my things. I think she is very comfortable here.

Thank you so very much Gina.

Face Painting...

 Early Thanksgiving morning I was asked to Face Paint at a running event. The event was called the Gobble Wobble. It was a 5K event with a kids 1 and 3k

 These are some of the faces that I painted.

The children had a great time and parents were taking photos too.

 

The children sat really still, the only problem was, the parents that set at the other end of the table were not sitting still at all !

The Most Beautiful...

  Fall in Michigan is the most beautiful time of year.

 It all reminds me of a beautiful painting.

 The palet of colors are complete.

 Pumpkins come in all shapes and sizes.

Somewhere in the east coast, someone grew a pumpkin that weighed over 2050 lbs.

 These trees and bushes look as if they are on fire.

Flames leaping skyward.

My Back Yard

The colors of summer are coming out. These are pink Peonies from my back yard garden. They don't last but a few days but are very fragrant and beautiful when they bloom!
