Hey everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely first weekend of fall! Did you do something special? My sis collected chestnuts to do crafts with, so if any of you have suggestions on what to make, Id love to hear them!

OK, so I went to pack up Loulas things yesterday and could not find my tape anywhere! I know have two or three rolls of it and I must have "put it away" somewhere new and can't remember where! I will take a look around the house today or I will be buying a new roll

Loula,

I did enjoy my first fall weekend, however it may as well still be summer around here! It's still in the high 80's and 90's...My son and I did make some leaf sugar cookies though

[Chef Jean]

Loula,

Did you find anything to do with those chestnuts? I found a few cute crafts for kids, but not much for adults. I did see a glass bown filled with them, which was pretty

How is everyone else doing this week?

Bblodie, is everything decorated yet? I have all my fall things out and up but not any halloween yet.

My package arrived from bBlondie today. So much wonderful stuff, I took a picture but DH is asleep near the computer, so it will have to want until tomorrow. But lots if awesome stuff to decorate with and to eat. Thanks so very much.

Chef Jean, leaf sugar cookies sound so cute. Im really toying with the idea of making a pumpkin pie today and using the set of super cute fall themed cookie cutters I got from bblondie08 a while back to decorate it. Ive used them last year and loved how special they made the pie look.



As far as the chestnuts go, no havent quite found the right idea yet, but Im sure Ill find something nice. Thanks for looking for me!

Morgainegeiser, wohoo, Im so excited. I cant wait to see the pics!

I got my WOW package from my partner today morgainegeiser. What great goodies. Can't wait to go home and look at it even more and start putting it out to decorate with also got a great brunch cookbook yippy. I will take a photo and post list this weekend along with my halloween deco at my home. Thanks morgainegeiser for a wonderful package of fall goodies.

[Chef Jean]

WOW! Those packages got to their destinations very quickly! Can't wait to see/hear about what's inside!

Bblondie the anticipation in killing me LOL Your decorations will be awesome I'm sure!

Loula, those are the cutest pies! I will have to use my cookies cutters (which I also received from this swap) to make some pies this year!

My package to Loula has been delayed due to a stricter customs form than I was expecting...but it will be out on Monday and shouldn't take as long as I was expecting to get to Germany

[Chef Jean]

Hope everyone is enjoying this last day of september so far

[morgainegeiser]

Here is my much awaited photo, I am getting to go out of town for two weeks and I have so much to do. Love, love the items I received and have used many already. Pumpkin is out, table runner is on the table, dish cloth is in use, kettle corn is pretty much gone, along with the candy corn. Thanks so much bBlondie!

I have had success with Loula's package and it should be to her in 7-10 days.

I'll be posting a banner or two for your about me pages tomorrow afternoon sometime!

I have been repainting my kitchen cabinets and it has been a huge job. Tomorrow should be the end of it! Fingers crossed that I can get DH to help me put the doors back on
