Roasting Sunflower Seeds
Harvesting Sunflowers
I received some surprise gifts this week and would like to share them with you. I had asked my friend Nancy, from More Than Enough where she got her ATC (Artist Trading Card) supplies and she sent me a wonderful assortment of images.
Along with colorful paper and alphabet graphics.
She also gave me this beautiful ATC. I love the water lily!
You can see more of Nancy's work at her Never Enough ATC's blog.
My friend, Linda from LBP Sews sent me some autumn goodies.
A beautiful amber cake stand.
An acorn ornament to add to my collection.
Note cards and some pretty ribbon. Thank you so much Nancy and Linda!
We still have a bit of summer left, but now I'm really looking forward to my favorite season. I know many of you are getting ready for the upcoming school year. Are you enjoying these last few weeks of summer?

What lovely gifts you have received! I know you will make good use of the artwork in your lovely card creations! I am not quite ready for autumn yet - summer seems to have just begun, though the Fall Fair is in full swing, and our calender tells me things are starting up again and school is just around the corner!
We are doing our best to savor the last days of summer! Today we had errands to run, but afterwards we used up our 'book credit' at the second hand book shoppe in town and munched on giant cookies from the bakery. This afternoon contented noses are happily ensconced in wonderful books and all is well.
I was worried about that cake plate getting there in one piece! Enjoy!

Lovely gifts! I know that you are looking forward to using them.
I love all the seasons for different reasons, but I love photographing fall best of all. It rarely gets cool here before Christmas, but it is still nice.
I just bought that same gold cake dish! I love your acorns items. I have started buying some acorns...I like the added touch of them for the harvest!
I bet you're itching to make something with all those beautiful papers and graphics! They are beautiful!
I LOVE all the fall items. Here it is still pretty hot, so I don't feel like fall is in the air at all. We are getting ready for our first year of offical homeschooling though. :)
Kelli, you received some lovely gifts. I especially like the acorn ornament.
I am enjoying these last few weeks of summer. School will be starting very soon and it will be back to work for me.
The garden is slowly producing its bounty and I am keeping busy getting things canned and frozen for the winter.
God bless.
What lovely gifts!!!! I love your seed packets too. They are very classy looking!
All of your gifts are very nice.
I love the autumn set that you recieved.
Fall is one of my favorite seasons too.
We are enjoying the last of our summer. Our summer vacation and just spending time at home with my kids are what I've been up to lately.
Hello Kelli, I don't think I have commented before but I have been enjoying your blog for a while.
As you look forward to autumn, I'm counting the weeks until the winter is over!
Cheers from Oz
I love all the stuff you got Kelli!!! How fun!!! :)
I am excitedly and nervously getting ready to start homeschooling on the 2nd of Sept.
Tomorrow (Thurs) my aunt and I and the kids are going to a town over an hour away to go to a teacher's supply store!! I can't WAIT!!!! :) Do you have any tips or suggestions Kelli? I know you have been doing this for a while!!! I would love your advice! :)
The weather here has made fall seem down the road...your gifts are very sweet...
I am enjoying the last few weeks of summer but ultimately...Autumn is my favorite! We started school this past Monday...so day 4 is tomorrow! The children love it and I am so pleased with it. :D

Ooooh - I love those wonderful autumn-themed gifts. I'm with you, Kelli - Fall is my favorite time of year. I’m working on an autumn-ish quilt right now. The calendar shows August, but my heart is in late September/early October!
I can't wait to see what you do with all the fun gifts you received. I can feel your creative wheels just spinning!
how wonderful. I love the amber cake plate. In my Grandma's Country ( Latvia) amber is found in the Baltic Sea and made into all sorts of goodies. I really love the color.. it reminds me of Fall ( My favorite time of year. These are some very thoughtful gifts !!! Have a great week. Mica

That amber cake stand is GORGEOUS!! Now that I've had my trip to the beach, I'm totally ready for Fall. It's my favorite season!
Hi Kelli, I just got here today. I'm glad you like the images. I know you'll think of some good things to do with them. A lot of the challenge sites I go to have handmade greeting cards displayed - not just atc's. People are doing some amazing things!
