Autumn- the warm sun, the cool gentle breeze, and all the beautiful changing fall colors. I'm in love with all the beauty around us. Mornings are spent enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee with my husband.
This weekend we all had a little date with nature. We set out and found a beautiful spot in the springs where we enjoyed, ourselves and took some family pictures. We enjoyed the calming sounds of the creek and the lighting was beautiful.  Lately, it's been so cool out. I've been enjoying hanging out clothes and opening up a few windows. I normally use our dryer to dry our clothes, but with this weather, it's been great for hanging laundry out. I continue to close windows once the sun goes down. It's still a bit chilly at night to keep windows open. I've been enjoying my pumpkin spice candle during the evenings.
 
This weekend I celebrated another year of becoming young. I was spoiled with kisses and hugs from my loved ones, and showered with sweet gifts. I am extremely thankful to see another year and spend it with my family and friends.  I indulged in a few sweet treats and delicious desserts. My husband made a delicious birthday breakfast, and dinner for us all to enjoy. Later my husband and I enjoyed a nice glass of wine, while we talked about our future, and more. 
 
I also did a little shopping at the craft store and picked up an art book with different inspirations, and creations that I can do with my daughter. We absolutely love being creative and creating art in our home.  It's been a beautiful weekend spent with my family. How did you spend your weekend? I'd love you hear if you went on any adventures. :)

Little Clay Bowls.

Little clay bowls  I created these simple textured clay bowls, and I'd love it if you created some too! Take some clay and mold them into a round bowl shape. I used air-dry clay for this project.  Allow it to dry completely overnight. Then take some paint and mix a few colors together and paint each bowl. I'm using these cute handmade clay bowls to store some of my jewelry in them.   Enjoy~ **Hello to all my readers, and welcome new readers. It's such a pleasure to have you come along on my journey.
