Autumn in Michigan

Well soon our leaves will be in their glorious rich colors, ranging from bright yellow, orange, rust, red and purples. It's a wonderful time here in Michigan with all the cider mills crowded with people to buy homemade donuts , apples, and of course that great cider. At our local mill, The
Franklin Cider Mill, it's hard to get near the counter because people come from all over to get that awesome tasting drink and those wonderful fall apples. This card suggests fall is coming fast and I love it. My leaf is a Blazing Star stamp and the phrase is from DeNami. Weather here is beautiful after an all night rain. Hope you are all enjoying your week so far.

This card is GORGEOUS! The embossed edges really make the leaves stand out and I love how you swirled the cord. Just perfect! Also, I'm NOT gonna hurt 'cha for not voting for me. We have just "met" and I don't expect loyalty YET but we'll have to revisit this subject at a later date! lol! Hope you're enjoying your day...

I just found you - through your daughter's blog. I peeked at your profile and had to laugh out loud when you said they're not the golden years but rather the rusty years. I know now I need to add you to my favorites and peek in often. I am a fellow Michigander am 42 and have 2 little boys (only 6 and 2) and let me tell you I already feel rusty myself. I've begun to wonder if I'll make it to their graduations - sheesh these 2 wear me out. *lol* Anyway just wanted to say Hi, and introduce myself.
