Is It Autumn Yet?

As September approaches, it is time for people in the North to start thinking about raking leaves soon. Not where I live, we rake in the spring. But I am starting to think about some cooler temperatures, low 90s instead of the record heat we had this summer. So for those of you who will be raking, here are some more leaves. For those of us who don't have raking to do, here are some pretty fall leaves to look at.

The Framed Wedding Invitation

As he does for all of the weddings we get invited to attend, this is the invitation frame that Jim made for Neill. The bridesmaids and groomsman wore black. The doves represent the doves that were on the invitation.

As usual, we waited until the last minute to take a picture. These were taken in the motel room, so they are not the best, but you get the idea. Remember you can click on the picture to see more detail.

August Birthdays

The August birthstone is peridot. Our August family birthdays are a father and daughter. Happy Birthday to John and Heather.

Wedding Gift

As part of Neill's wedding gift, I made a scrapbook tin. I know I have published others here, but this one I like the best so far. The bride and groom hearts are the front cover. When you open it you see the flower. More of the inside is shown too. The very last page of each column are the towels. I had to do two different views. They loved the second view.

Do you get that the Mr towel is

on the floor in a mess?

I found the idea for the bride and groom hearts and towel on splitcoast. My friend Whitney taught me how to make the tins and I put it all together using a SU scrapbook kit that is now retired.
