Fall Recipe Swap Party

Its official, Ive set a date.....well, dates. September 22-24th I will be hosting a Fall Recipe Swap Party here on my blog. I made it for a few days so everyone will have time to get their recipes posted. Its simple, post a favorite Fall time recipe or one that you plan on trying and link up with me (more details later on that coming later....thank you Amy, for your help!I hope I get it right!) Hopefully you will have a pic to go with your recipe, but if not thats totally fine, the whole point is to find new recipes for the new fall season and maybe meet up with a few new blogger friends along the way. Also, in October I will be having a Halloween Cookie Swap Party, it will be the same thing, except it will be cookies or maybe baked goods in general. So, in the meantime, get those recipes ready and be sure to scroll down and read my latest blog and see if there are any that you have missed. I hope you will join me!

fALL is ALmOST heRE!!!

Well, Im back from our little vacation and Im glad to say that it looks like summer is coming to an end. The leaves are trying to change around here, nothing bright yet, but they are falling and getting crunchy. Its almost time to start taking strolls down the road and smelling FALL. Its suppose to be in the 40s tomorrow morning and Im lookiing forward to some coffee and Maple Cookies. The plan was to bake some zuchinni cupcakes or bread today, but when I went to get FARM FRESH EGGS, they were all out, so Ill try again in the morning.

I cant say that this blog as any certain direction today, just lots of pretty things to look at and think about. I mean , seriously, can you believe it??? FALL is peaking at us just around the corner.....teasing us with  cooler nights, cool breezes and falling leaves. The heat and humidity have given way to a calmer warmth.With these changes I want to clean, nest and BAKE. I was so excited yesterday at the mailbox when I seen the new Country Living "HALLOWEEN" issue waiting on me. The above picture was in there, I thought that was a very clever way to use a fireplace that being used for heat and it seems much more safe.

A few things that are on my mind today are crafting and baking/cooking. I mentioned in my last post that I wanted to do a FALL RECIPE SWAP PARTY. This will be toward the end of September. Then, while, looking at the pretty FALL things on the web I decided I should have a "HALLOWEEN COOKIE SWAP PARTY", this will be in October. I will try to get the details up by next week on both.

 Well, last but not least I have a project and the link for you. I did this project a few years back and LOVED it. Admitedly, its an extremely messy project, but well worth it.GLITTERED PUMPKINS, theres nothing like them. You can find the directions for the project HERE on MARTHA STEWART'S site. The project calls for extra fine glitter, but I used regular and it worked just fine. I love brown and gold glittered pumpkins next to a strand of warm glowing lights or candles......they are so pretty! HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!!

Wreath Party and Things

Ok, things have been busy around here, for various reasons......point is, I havent had time to blog much and dont see that I will be for a few weeks, but wanted to check in now (while I can) and let you in on a few things. First things = FIRST.....
My very talented blogger friend Amy at Keep'n The Sunny Side will be having a FALL WREATH PARTY Sept . 1st. I wont be participating, but wanted to pass the word along so you could join in and link up to a great blog. She is always posting great craft tutorials and recipes.....theres always something fun on her blog. You can find the details of the FALL WREATH PARTY HERE .
The next thing is that dh starts his 2 week vaca tomorrow, so Ill more than likely be away from the computer most of the time. Im sure he will have plenty for us to do. Though Ill be checking in from time to time, I may get one blog posted if Im lucky. So dont think Ive abandoned my blog, Ill be be around.
The 3rd thing is that Ive been thinking of doing a FALL RECIPE SWAP, similar to Amys party (she inspired me). Ill be thinking on this and let you know the details in a few weeks!
Ive been browsing for a new background and hoping to do a little re-vamping on my blog. Ive fallen in LOVE with a few HALLOWEEN backgrounds, but I feel its a little early, even for me, lol! So, the next time you visit, I may have a new look here.
Well, thats enough serious chatter for now, Im gonna post a few FALL time pics that Ive found. The weather here is FALL like this week, with temps in the low 80s and hi 70s. The clouds are looming and there is breeze. The leaves are starting to fall and change colors. I hope this is the start to a beautiful FALL. ENJOY!!!
