POST FOR YOU

Hi There!
First -
I have to show you my Candy Apples and then tell you something really funny.

I couldn't eat them - too sticky for my poor teeth!  My grandkids gobbled every last one so that made me happy but it was pretty funny after all this I realized my teeth are too old.  I would have been doing a "Mrs. Doubtfire" - you know the movie scene where the teeth are in the glass!!  LOL

On to my card -  I made another card using Winter Skates Tilda - love this image and I think as she sits on top of her postcard,  she is thinking about what she wants for Christmas with the surrounding postage stamps as images of her thoughts.  As always, thanks for visiting with me and I enjoy all your comments and thank you for taking the time to send me a note or two!  And now I will enjoy some red wine - easier on the teeth:)  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

APPLE BLOSSOMS

Hi, There!   PS - THIS CARD WON TOP 3 AT 7 KIDS CHALLENGE !!  Thank you for choosing my card!!  Yahoo!!

Hope my post finds you well.  Since Halloween, I have been obsessed with the thoughts of red Candy Apples.  I like them just plain - red candied - not with nuts and not with coconuts.  Funny how hard it is to find just one red candied apple.  The supermarkets here sell them but they all have something on them - alas! I will have to make my own so I bought some crisp apples and will be making them this weekend.  So onto my card - This is an Elizabeth Bell  rubber stamp image called "Apple Blossoms" and I love her sweet face and her long pony tails.  She looks like she picked some of the best apples in town!  Thanks for stopping by and till next time, here is to apple picking and red "plain" candied apples:)  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

OCTOBER/HAPPY FALL

Hi, There!
October!!  I love everything about October!  Even though it means colder weather is coming our way, it is still my favorite month of the year.  I love the colors of nature's fall flowers and the trees bursting with all the vibrant colors you could imagine,  the smell of pumpkin spice in all the coffee shops, wearing my sweaters and sweats and warm fuzzy slippers,  lots of blankets and comforters on my bed, warm apple cider with a cinnamin stick, and I have to mention red candied apples.  Oh, and the most important reason is - it is my birthday month!  LOL
Here is my final fall card for this season. The rubber stamp image I used is just so cute, that this is my second card with this image from Sugar Nellie called Lei-la.  She has been spruced up with my copic markers - listed below.  Thanks for visiting me during this month of October and I hope to be back with something very different from the "falling leaves"!  Take care, till next time, hugs ~ CaroleAnn

TILDA WITH CORN HARVEST

Hi, There!

Well, the weatherman on the radio said we will need our hats and gloves before the week is out and now I heard a frost for us tonight!!!  Guess I always new it was coming!  Little Tilda here looks like she is trying to hold onto her bucket of corn with the fall winds blowing around her.  Going to have some more leaves blowing down in all the winds here.  But I am still in wonder over all the beautiful colors.  This weekend we plan to take a fall trip to check out more autumn colors - guess I am stuck in an autumn time warp with my cards too!  Hope it has not been boring.  Till next time, thanks so much for coming by to say hello, Hugs ~ CaroleAnn
