After spending most of the summer outside tending to animals and the garden, then zoning out on the couch to recover from the heat, I feel like I really fell behind on my crafting. I'm making up for it now, let me tell you! Those of you not used to seeing so much "craftiness" here on my blog had better get used to it! It's what happens this time of year. Still, I feel like I need to practice all kinds of things to make sure my skills are refreshed. I'm happy to say, it's like riding a bike! *grin*
So, while I'm making fall, Halloween, and even some Christmas projects, my primary focus needs to be on new spring/summer stamp images. The sweet deadlines continue to come!

Lovely, warm and earthy, Anna. Kinda gives that same satisfaction as a big hot bowl of creamy mashed potatoes or cauliflower and cheese sauce. Instead of "comfort food" you have delivered "comfort craftiness". (grin)

Lovely! Glad you've made it back to your crafting room, although I enjoy all your newsy bits and photos whatever the subject.

So pretty! I love the fall colors! I see you used your fave tool again! ;o)
Glad to see more of your craftiness again! -Not that I don't enjoy the peeks into farm life and the hilarious animal antics!-
Have a good week!

This is lovely. I like the Smooch spritz (right?) on it.

Ohhhh Goody. Goodies from Anna on the way :) We love the critters and garden so much, too! The verse on your card is always a favorite of mine. With friends and family scattered all over the U.S. and now across th ocean *grin* When I win the lottery I want to go visit all my blog buddies... wouldn't that be FUN ?
Happy Sunday Hugs...

Hi Anna! This is just another wonderful "Anna" creation!! I love it! It looks like you spritz it with glimmer mist or equivalent. Very pretty.
Hugs!
