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.

Today my bookmark used MPF set called
 HOT & SPICY
Now you might be wondering how chili peppers mean Autumn Fun to me. I was born in New Mexico and grew up in Arizona. There is nothing quite like the taste of a really good green chili. Living here in Iowa, it is hard to get a good green chili, but every fall our grocery store gets Hatch Green Chilies from New Mexico.  

I used Hatch Green Chilies to make turkey enchiladas. YUM!
