Fiber Bubble: Bubble Time Freshness

Bubble Time Freshness

September - the month of daughter Amy's, granddaughter Bailey's birthday, sissy Gail's birthday, and the signal to the end of summer and the Farmers Market!

The last of the zinnias!

My lunch time favorites!

My weekly purchase of garden fresh
office bouquets comes to a close.

My annual pumpkins-on-a-stick purchase!

Could not resist this moss green pumpkin with the tendrils!
The vendor said it is sweeter than an orange pumpkin
Not that I will find out... don't plan on cooking up my centerpiece!

A few of these and a piece of twine rope made
last weekend at a local art fair and...

Ta Da! Fall centerpiece complete!

Now on to the card. So happy I decided Bubble Time is a priority! No more bringing work home on the weekends!

Love all those gorgeous photos and that centre piece is fabulous.
What a super cas card you produced for our Inspiration Challenge. Love the yellow stripes and how you placed that beautiful butterfly close to the big sentiment. Great touch. Thanks for joining us Nancy. So nice to see your work again at Just Us Girls.

New Alum: When I get married I want to have 9 babies. Me: You want 9 children? Alum: Yes. All born in the same year. Me: So you are saying you want to father a litter. Alum: Litter?

Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?
