Hi all!

I’m so into fall right now it isn’t funny. All our leaves have gone crazy, making one of the prettiest nature paintings possible.

This past week I visited my sister who lives about an hour away from me, and we took in some nature walking. Once I check out the pictures, I should have one very pretty post sharing our mini adventure!

Bike ride down Kettle Valley Railway Trail

Which inspired me to write about my PAST visit to my sister’s HERE! Gotta start keeping up with all my adventures here!

We took a long awaited bucket list bike ride down a trail I’ve always wanted to do… and this pretty post was the result!

I wasn’t successful in getting a project done last week, so let’s peek at yours from last weekend’s party…

Now, before you assume this may be a purchased pumpkin hollowed out to make this cool glowy candle holder, best take a peek inside this post. This was 100% handmade with concrete! Mind-blowing.

  1. thank you so much, Miss Donna, for so graciously including my ‘scrap paper pumpkin art’ in your feature! and my GOODNESS what amazing company my little project is in – those map leaves! the teeny felted pumpkins! the piano harp *on the wall* made my jaw drop! (and lordy, i know exactly how monstrous a task hefting those babies is. we took two of them out of two baby grand piano carcasses to turn them into wine bars… ‘heavy’ doesn’t even come close!)

    i don’t have a ‘junky’ project to share this week – the faux painted dollar store pumpkins i worked on don’t really qualify! LOL

    • …. but wait! i DO have a junky project to share this week!!! LOL

      i found something old while i was looking for something else, and i put it with the newly-painted dollar store pumpkins. and now they’re JUNKY! so happy to join in again! ~ deb

  2. Hello good morning, thank you very much. I’m so glad you enjoyed my project. I love your blog and I will follow it with great affection. Good weekend ☻♥

  3. Oh my goodness that little truck filled with felted pumpkins is ADORABLE! Happy Thanksgiving, Donna – hope you have a wonderful long weekend.

  4. Donna, you have THE BEST community of readers! I am continually inspired by all the folks who link up each week. Thank you for all the love on the piano harp art. It is fun to share projects with everyone.
