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.


For my bookmark today I used MFP set called
FALL APPLES
 Unlike the past two days were my bookmarks needed extra explaining, I am sure that we can all relate to picking apples in the fall. APPLEBERRY Orchard is the one that my kids and I love going to. We love the taste of a warm apple doughnut on a cool morning.





Here is an apple my son picked the other day.


Fried apples and waffles... yummy...
