I Love October!

Why do I love October?

Fall!


Not nearly as showy as in the northern states, but even here in Florida there's a little Fall color and a definite change in the temperature! Loving these cool mornings!!! Fall is in the air!

Family


Cupcake Decorating Contest


We have an October Halloween-Birthday-OctoberFest to celebrate the many October family birthdays. That's always fun!

The invitations were sent

in their own special envelopes!

Friends

Aren't blog friends amazing? When I didn't receive one of her tags in Kimberly (ArtJoyStuff)'s recent Halloween Tag Swap, my friend Sherry of Createology sent me one.  Just look at this wonderfully creative wrapping!


And here's Sherry's oh-so-cleverly creative tag! Can you guess what that little item with the spider web on it really is? Go here to find out!



Sherry didn't receive one of my tags either, so I sent her one -

in a special envelope  - propped up here by one of my cats - looks like the party invitations!

 The tag I sent to Sherry - a little different from the others I made for the swap. I usually make several before deciding what to make for a swap.

Of course there are many other reasons for loving October - these are just a few!


Happy October!

  4. What cute tags. I didn't do any this year as I'm too busy with my sewing and student these days. Checked out the fairy tags too, my favorites, love and believe in fairies!
    Also the old oak trees falling. If there is one thing you could use there it's underground power!
    Take care Nan

  9. Lots of creativity happening here, I can see!

    Thanks so much, Jane, for stopping by and letting me know of our mutual interest in all things Alexander McCall Smith.
    I just finished the 'Limpopo River' one too...and enjoyed it so much.

    Wishing you a happy fall... (we're already into winter up here... it's very pretty out today with a scattering of snow and tiny piles atop tree branches.)
