Good morning my friends!! I am SOOOO excited. The weather is calling for 80 degree temperatures starting tomorrow after our two months of 100+ temps. We have missed summer due to the extreme heat here in Okla so we are so ready for some cool weather!!! And the anticipation of the cool has given me a fall outlook. I am showing today some of my fall, halloween cards I have made.

These cards come from some scrapbooking paper I bought last year that is all about "Alice in Wonderland" and I really love the paper.

These cute little "Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum" characters are so cute.

But I think maybe this one with the hare is my favorite.

This is the inside of the card. I will probably put some of these on my Etsy site, but if you are interested in any of them before I do that, please contact me.

I just have to share a good read with you all. This book "Unbroken" is definitely the BEST book I have ever read. Not only is it thrilling and chilling but a wonderful history book about WWII, a survival guide, and such an inspirational story. After reading this book, when I feel like I can't do something, all I have to do is remember what Louis Zamperini went through during this time and seek the inspiration it gave me. He was an Olympic runner whose time in that goal was interrupted by WWII and tells of his trials of being a POW and how he overcame so much. His plane crashed and he was in a raft with two other men on the ocean for approx. 40 days. I can't ruin the book for you so won't tell you anymore. I had the priviledge of meeting Mr. Zamperini, age 94 at my church last week. They will be making a movie of it in 2 years. Amazing man!!!

Those are adorable cards! I love the Halloween take on Alice in Wonderland. I am using a similar paper to do a vintage Halloween spread for an altered book round robin. Don't know if it is the same book. But I love what you did with the cards. Happy PS!

Ginger,
What lovely cards and so perfect for Fall and Halloween!! I think everyone is itching to decorate for Fall to welcome the cooler temps. By Tuesday, we are only going to be hitting highs in the 70's all week and I say. "Bring it on"!!!
You know I am no lover of heat and I can't imagine how you withstood the summer with temps. so high like that.
Thanks for your visit and I am glad that you liked the tour of the Stegmaier. It was a fabulous weekend!We are looking forward to being able to go back again.
I will be posting Part 3 of our weekend at the Stegmaier on Sunday so if you have time, stop back to see more....
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!
Hugs,
