I love Fall!  Enough said.

Here are my fun finds this week.

Enjoy!



I have always kept some kind of journal but I am fascinated by this new style of 'journaling'.  Need to stock up on some moleskins and dive in!  Lots of inspiration and help getting started at Paper Relics.




Want a more sophisticated way to eat caramel apples?  Here it is!  Can't wait to try this dip I found at Jane Deere blog.

Yay!  It's Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start.  When I saw this photo a few days ago I knew I wanted to share it in the post this week.  Isn't it lovely to look at. 


Your assignment is to click here to find out where these beautiful pieces came from.  Maybe you are a smarty and already know but I was totally amazed and in awe.



These adorable ribbon covered bangles come with an easy tutorial via mondocherry. 


I absolutely fell in love with this free printable from a new artist I found this week, Arian Armstrong.  I will be sticking this up on my fridge to remind me to keep my focus in the right place!



Whose with me...'sometimes you feel like a NUT'?  Right?  I remember singing that jingle A LOT as a kid...thanks to Almond Joy/Mounds.  Now, thanks to Confessions of a Cookbook Queen, I am singing it in my head AGAIN!  Can't wait to test her Almond Joy Brownie Bite recipe to see how they compare to the candy bar.
