Trip to Victoria BC
Hubby and I recently returned from a trip to Victoria BC to see "Sarah Brightman". It was a wonderful performance, particularly her duets and phantom of the opera. There was a blizzard there with freezing temperatures and winds (they never get snow - in fact they have been trying to sell their one snow plow). Needless to say, this turned into the "amazing adventure" as my husband calls it.

The previous photograph of hydrangeas within the header of my blog was sent to me. I was unaware that it belongs to Leslie Miller of Running With Scissors. As soon as I was aware of this, it was removed immediately.
Leslie's site can be seen at http://leslierich.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/ and known as Running with Scissors. Please visit her site for inspiration and see her incredible creations.

September
September, the harvest month...Summer is over and autumn has arrived.
It has been a very warm September for the northwest. However, today it is raining and I must say I welcome it. Fall is a beautiful time of the year - a time to not worry about watering plants and the lawn. A very good time to get back into reading.
One of my daily reading that I enjoy is "Simple Abundance" A Daybook of Comfort and Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach. Each month she lists Joyful Simplicities. For example - September:

- Start making your Christmas list this month so that you won't be frantic in December
- Look at farmer's markets for dried flowers to create your own bouquet
- Enjoy fresh apple cider
- Experiment with different types of popcorn

Wedding Keepsake Card
This keepsake card was inspired by two incredibly talented ladies:
Diamondangelfish

Heather Nichols at her website “Pine Is Here”
http://pinefeather.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345241b069e200e553d487188833-popup
I used parts of the bride's invitation on the pull outs inside. The middle pull out is a gift card holder and the left and right are parts of her invitation. Photos can also be stored in the slots. The basis of this is three 5 x 5 square envelopes.
