I want to tell you a little bit about my projects this month. My daughter just graduated from college and is blessed to have a job teaching and running a high school library. As a way to encourage her students I am making her bookmarks that she can use as "raffle" prizes. So all my projects this month are bookmarks. I also made them all from paint chip samples that had been in my stash of paper for several years. To me art has a personal connection. These bookmarks share a little bit about who I am.


I hope you have enjoyed this Autumn Fun hop as much as I have had making these bookmarks. My last bookmark used MFP set called
AUTUMN SPLENDOR

HARVESTVILLE FARM is near to our home. They have events and sell produce more than just in the fall, but in the fall is when they really come alive. People come from all over to navigate their cornmaze, pick pumpkins, enjoy hayrides, sit by a bonfire and play at their non-traditional playground. It is where my kids and I go to get our pumpkins. I could go elsewhere, but since my family doesn't celebrate Halloween we don't want to carve our pumpkins, we want ours to eat, and Harvestville Farm has the best eating pumpkins.
