Pumpkins & Squirrel Feeders

After all the hard work of planting, caring, watering and harvesting the pumpkins I can now say it was worth it! Calvin & I sat on the porch and turned the little pumpkins into squirrel feeders, since they were eating them anyway.

They lasted 1 day & the squirrels loved it.. I think I even heard one of them laughing as it ate!

Covered Bridge Festival

We ventured out Tuesday morning to Mansfield, IN to take in the view of all the beautiful trees changing colors, the many venders selling their goods & to find some good deals! 

Mom tried on some snazzy reading glasses, but ended up not buying them.

We sat by the water and enjoyed a cool breeze while eating lunch.

Crossed the bridge..

Had many laughs while browsing!

Found signs I would love to make in the near future.

Enjoyed the whole day with people I love!

It's been a Calvin & Hobbes sort of day...

What does your creativity spark from? What inspires you? I seem to be overloaded with new ideas every day & constantly working on something ...just to show a few.

CHALK: "It's natural! Mother Nature made it for us to color with!"

Ok so mother nature didn't make chalk but it was pretty funny when I blurted it out while sitting on the front porch. At my house, you can find a container of chalk on the front porch just waiting to be used. 

 The boys have murals painted on their bedroom walls 

with chalk board paint.

 

The kitchen's 15 foot wall, above the sink is all chalk board! : )

Today's inspiration is chalk.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!
