It’s Fall

The weather over the weekend was cooler and really put me in the mood for autumn.   On Sunday, I baked some Oatmeal Pumpkin Chocolate Chip mini-muffins.  Not only did they taste really yummy but they left my house smelling wonderful.   I also had to break out my recipe for Autumn Pork Chops.  Yum, yum, yum!  I just love this time of year. 

I’m not just going to tempt you with my favorite autumn recipes, I also have a card to share with you.  This is a new image from Whimsy & Stars Studio and it perfect for the season.  I LOVE this image.  I also broke out some new autumn-themed papers.

Although it is a bit hard to tell in the photo, the center part of both pumpkins is layered and popped up to add some dimension.

 

Have a fabulous week!  Thank you for stopping by!
