A Peaceful Day

Still feeling full, happy, a little sleepy, and enjoying this long 4-day weekend. Thought I would go for a power walk, but it's raining way too hard, so I did some journaling and then went to a craft show with my mother-in-law. I am now feeling like going through my papers, fabrics, and stamps, hoping to create something really fun. I am so thrilled to be able to have choices today! So many days in a row I have too much that I have to do, and not enough time to do what I want to do so badly. This is good. Isn't it nice to feel peaceful and content? I hope you feel this way, too....and that you have yummy leftovers!

Happy Thanksgiving!

May you have warmth, love, friendship, blessings and good food today, and much to be thankful for always.

In My Book Corner

Here's what I am settling in to read tonight: The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. I love books (and paper, yes!) so this seemed perfect for me. I am relaxing my body and my mind in preparation for lots of Parent-Teacher Conferences before Thanksgiving.

Have you read it ? Tell me what you think!

What are you reading? And, what do you recommend? I love having a new pile to devour...when time allows! Have a great week everyone! Find time to do what you love to do best! ~Kathy♥

Easy Bake Oven...

I love all things gingerbread. I collect all things gingerbread. I eat gingerbread. I even have gingerbread tea and a gingerbread sweater and a homemade gingerbread quilt. I have a 4-foot Christmas Tree that is decorated with nothing but gingerbread, even the star at the top. (I promise to show you pictures after Thanksgiving!). So, I baked...

...with sweet papers & fabrics, of course!! ♥

I dislike cleaning the oven anyways. This was so much more fun!

With Frosting On Top

Good morning! First I really want to thank you all for reading and for your comments. It always makes me smile to know you visited, and it brightens my day when you leave a comment and say hello. Blog Land has been more wonderful than I could ever have imagined. Meeting you is a journey highlight. Thank you! ♥

And now I'd like to leave you with two morning frosted beauties to gaze upon, in the hopes that they make you smile...

and...

maybe a chuckle when you picture me in mismatched jammies, and old pink flannel bathrobe and boots, crouching in the crisp, frozen morning air with a camera! (Hopefully my neighbors were so enthralled with this morning's beauty that they didn't see me out there...yikes!)

Enjoy your day. I am sending you good thoughts, blessings, and a few moments of peace to just "be". ♥ Kathy

It's the Most Wonderful Time...

Aaah, the anticipation...

I started thinking about the holidays...and well...you know... I couldn't resist! I played elf. Why have it all last only a few days when it can truly last for a whole season?!


New! At PaperPumpkin!
{Mia and I are so excited to celebrate another happy season with you!} :D

A Bit of Vintage Style Inspiration...

...and memories of Grama's wooden spools.

I adore Baker's twine. Can't wait to use tons of it at Christmas time, wrapping pretty little packages and hanging sweet tags! ♥ New at PaperPumpkin!

Sing a Rainbow

I so love the sky. I could just gaze at the stars and the moon and the sunrises and sunsets forever....and then....
...another gift from up above! What a wonderful surprise this was! (If you look closely, you'll see the double rainbow!). Hope this makes you smile!
