Thankful, fallish projects

Oh man, if you asked me what I'm enjoying right now, I'd tell you.

One is Harrison. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the terrible twos are behind us because what is here now, is good. It's real good. It's funny and clever, it's spirited and fun, and most of all -- it's warm and loving, just like it should be.

Another thing, is fourth grade. Campbell is spreading his wings to soar and it's amazing to watch. He's smart, oh so smart, he's responsible and he's really finding his groove as a person. It's just fabulous and being able to parent this kid is pretty great. I'm lucky, there's no doubt about that.

I'm loving how adorable Sawyer is and how he's still imaginitive and interested only in play. I mean, what is more important than that when you're seven whole years old?

And, I'm loving crafts. The things that complete me...the things that fill in the nooks and crannies and ooze around the love I have for all that is good in this world. Paper and adhesive, ribbons and buttons, and add in some vintage ephemera and finds.

I'm working the papers, my Christmas cards are coming down the assembly line: cut, glue, trim and stamp. Rinse and repeat. There are banners in the project box waiting to be made. Crackle paint, crepe paper flowers and glitter have found their way into the box along with vintage milk bottle caps. I can't wait!

Here's what's adorning the place now!

Off to work on a couple of fun things I found today at an antique store!
