On the Road Friday ~ To the Pumpkin Patch

Hello,

We are off to the Pumpkin Patch today!

  On Halloween night, the 'Great Pumpkin' rises out of the pumpkin patch, then flies through the air to bring toys to all the good little children everywhere. Wouldn't you like to sit with me in the pumpkin patch on Halloween night and wait for the Great Pumpkin?

Linus

 I am so glad my boys are still excited to go pick out a pumpkin. I get just as excited! 

Something about  going to the pumpkin patch...it just makes me smile.

 It can be so hard to pick just the right one.

Atticus looks to see how the face will look all carved out and tends to pick out big, round pumpkins.

Sam likes to find tall pumpkins.

My hubby knocks on them....looking for the pumpkin that has the most seeds.

We always save our pumpkin seeds and roast them in garlic salt...yummy!!

 Do you decorate for Autumn with pumpkins?

Do you carve pumpkins to celebrate Autumn?

And how about roasting pumpkin seeds, do you have a fun way to roast pumpkin seeds?

Writing Things By Hand....

Writing things by hand...did you know there's a huge difference between texting someone to say that you love them and hope that they have a great day and writing it on a note and leaving it for them to find.

 It is that time of year. 

Back to School!

 

How about adding a note to your son or daughters lunch.

Or packing a note in your college kids luggage.

A perfect way to say, I Love You!

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;
Just buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.

A great card for all Baseball fans!

What a fun idea to send our pretty Apples, Apples card with a great apple recipe. Apple pie, apple crisp or spiced up apple chips.

 We enjoyed making and eating these fun chips. 

Spiced Up Apple Chips

We loved how these apple chips turned out. I just love the star in the center of the apple.

Spiced Up Apple Chips

Preheat oven to 200 degrees

Place sugar, cinnamon and other spice (I used nutmeg and ginger too) in a bowl. I did this all by taste...just until I got that right flavor. 

Slice your apples as thin as you can. Gently pat dry. Place apples in bowl of cinnamon and sugar, coat apples.

Place apples on a baking pan.

Bake apples until crisped. My apples took four hours. They were perfect. Our house smelled great too.

Have fun and enjoy!

 Happy Wedding Day

Our Youth Pastor shared such a sweet story with me this week while working VBS.

His older brother will be getting married this week. And he shared with me, his brother's girl just about got away.

He is a hunter, trapper, outdoors kind of guy. He kinda thought he would be happy with just that. Well, he had his eyes on a girl, she was fun and he liked her. But he thought hunting, trapping and the outdoors would keep him happy.

Another fella caught how pretty and fun this young lady was. He came calling. 

Needless to say, hunting, trapping and the outdoors are all great fun...but a lot more fun shared with someone you love.

His brother quickly "trapped" his girl.

Our Youth Pastor was so full of love for his brother sharing this story with me. I just loved every moment of it!

Unique cards available at Studio 206!

Have a great week!

Man's Best Friend

 One of our Best Selling cards.

This sweetheart is Zeus, he is my sisters dog.

 

Rooster...he has a face that is for sure to make someone smile and feel loved.

Check out all our cards at our Shop, just click here 

 

 

A Faithful Dog

A Faithful Dog will play with you and laugh with you - or cry.

He will gladly starve to stay with you and never reason why.

When you are feeling out of sorts somehow he will understand.

He will watch you with his shinning eyes and try to lick your hand. 

His blind, implicit faith in you is matched by his great love.

The kind that all of us should have in the Master up above.

When everything is said and done I guess this isn't odd for when you spell DOG backwards you get the name of GOD.
