It's All About The Journey

A Simple Thanksgiving Day Card

I Hi Ladies, I made a card using the PPA 661ASketchy Challenge. this week I love participating in this challenge and look forward to It ach week. This challenge was a very simple one. Hope you like my card.

Here is my card

 

All products are from Stampin'UP!

 

I have lots of photos to share with all of you but will not be able to until after this weekend. Wayne decided to buy my birthday gift early, a little less then 6 months early. He bought me an IMac computer. It is amazing but I have never used an IMac so I have some learning to do. Anyway, we had to bring it back today along with my regualr PC so that I can have all of my photos, music and files tranferred from my PC to the IMac. It should be all set to go by Tuesday but becuase the IMac store is about 50 miles from where we live Wayne will not be able to pick it up this weekend. I am using my laptop right now and do not have an editing program in it. I never felt that I needed one. I sure was wrong about that. At least I was able to use Wayne's computer to have my card resized.:)

We had a wonderful weekend. Fiday it was so hot that we had to go back to wearing sumer clothes.Saturday was a warm day  too. Today it was warm but not too bad. Also on Saturday we had a 3.2 earthquake in NH in my area. We do live on a fault line but the last time we had a quake was 15 years ago. It sure was scary. Our house actually shook and the sound was so loud that it was hard to know what it was. Thankfuly, a 3.2 is not serious just scary. I am so glad no that I had earthquake insurance put onmy home 8 years ago. :) You just never know. So that has been the exciement my way this weekend.

I will of course be back whe I have something more to share with all of you. Oha nd by the way, there is still one more week to enter the challenges at Soul Scrappers. Lots of stamp sets are being given away. Just go here to where the challenges are pick one you would like to do snd a have some fun. :)

I hope tha all of you have a wonderful week.Stay safe,stay cool and Smile. :)

Personal Ramblings

Wayne and I did go apple picking on Saturday. It was a beautiful day. It was in the high 60'sand the sun was shining.  This week the only apple that we could pick was McIntosh. I'm not sure if that is good for an apple pie or apple crisp but that is what I will be using to make both because we bought a lot of them. :)I have photos to share with you of our day but because I have quite a few of them I  will be making a Smile box as soon as I have time.  When we got home I decided to take some macro photos of  the leaves that are changing. They sure are so beautiful right now. I hope to be able to go up North very soon so that we can see more of the foliage.  So tonight I am sharing two of my favorite leaf photos that I recently took.

 
I love how vibrant the red is.

 
I love the orange and the red leaves together in this photo.

Well that is it from me. I hope that you will stop back Thursday to check out the stamp set that will be offered. :)

Stay safe, stay cool and Smile. :)
