The pumpkin patch

First of all I would like to wish all my friends who celebrate today  a

Happy Thanksgiving.

I have created a journal page, my last one this month  for 

Rike's theme of Fruit and Veggies

over at Art Journal Journey

The veggie kids have joined their grandfather in the garden to pick out a pumpkin

so gran can make a pumpkin pie for their  Thanksgiving dinner.

I wonder which one they will choose.

Thank you for calling in I hope you all have a lovely day.

Inspired by a Song or Christmas Carol at TioT's

The new challenge theme at Try it on Tuesdays is......
Inspired by a Song or Christmas Carol

The song that inspired me for this card  is.....

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas.
This theme helped me to get a few Christmas cards made. I used an old but favourite stamp image [no  maker  visible to refer to on it anymore]
I simple stamped onto plain white card and embossed with gold embossing powder.
It was layered onto a kraft card base and trimmed with a ribbon.

I hope you will join us and share your favourite songs or carols and hope you will pop over to see what the team have all been making.

Chocolate time

Hello to everyone who calls in to see me today and to  the folk from

 Bleubeard and Elizabeths

where each Tuesday we are always made to feel very welcome with a drinks related post

My cuppa of choice was not the mug of frothy chocolate that you can see in the first photo....

Yes you would guess....... it is a mug of tea

.It is 12 o clock mid day as I wrote the post and it is so grey and dark outside it could be evening. 

I have a few scheduled posts this week so I have my fingers crossed that it may be a bit brighter outside  as the week goes by.

I posed myself a question as I created this journal page  Are coffee beans fruits or vegetables.

This is what Wikipedia has to say on the subject

Coffee Bean

 Is coffee a fruit?

according to this link.... yes

Are coffee beans vegetable?....... I don't have the time to or inclination to link you to all the answers I found on the net to this question.. So I will leave it up to you all to make up your own minds on this subject.

 I will link my page to

  Art Journal Journal

as along with my drink, a variety of fruit and a few coffee beans

, it will fit Rike's theme of Fruits  and Veggies.

Thank you for stopping by 

and however you spend your day 

I hope it will be a good one for you.

Cats

I have  had been enjoying some cleaner crafting yesterday evening

with my feet up and the laptop computer on my knee,

creating these digital tags for  Wendy's theme....

Cats

over at Tag Tuesday

I showed my  favourite first,

   I collected so many images I wanted to use that I ended up creating three tags.

It was a good job we were recording the  episode of a serial on TV,. that I had intended to see..

 time does fly when having fun.

 I will get to watch it   later today.

Thank you for calling in your visits are always appreciated.

Notes about my digital pieces 

can be found in my sidebar.

The morning cuppa

Hello everyone who stops by to see me today

and friends from Bleubeard and Elizabeths where we are always made very welcome with a drinks related post on Tuesdays.

The mug of tea was to hand on my desk and I did manage to get a  hands on crafty session  as well as a computer crafty  digital play. I think I would have enjoyed a lemon  cup cake with my tea that morning, but less calories were involved when using digital programs.

I had a stencil background to use, yes it looks  a bit messy, but that is the  usual state  of many pages in my journal I fussy cut the critter, who  is clutching the cuppa. 

I can relate to this new stamp image I purchased recently and the words.

I am no good without a couple of large mugs  full of tea before I start my day.

Challenges

I am adding my apologies to the folk at AEDM, 

my plans to join in each day have gone AWOL

I am a few days missing,

 I have good intentions.......  but the days turn up with other plans for me.

I will also add my digital journal page to Rike's theme... Fruit and Veggies

 at Art Journal Journey. Fresh lemon slices in a cup of tea is a refreshing lift me up at any time of the day.

Whats for tea?

The Veggie kids are back and they want to know whats for tea.

Another digital page for Rike's theme of........... Fruit and Veggies over at

  Art Journal Journey

Looking at the choices of  produce I think I would make tomato soup and apple crumble for pudding.

I will also call in at AEDM

 where it's day 14.  

I am missing a few days already this month,  so my apologies and who knows I may catch up as the month passes by. Yesterday I was stamping out a few toppers for Christmas cards.

This would have been my entry for.........

 Day 13

Thank you for stopping by,

 however you spend your day I hope it will be a good one for you.

Cold. cold. cold at TioT's

Its ..........Cold, Cold, Cold.

at Try it on Tuesdays.

A winter theme for the challenge , we wonder how you will interpret this topic , we had fun, please pop over to see what we made and we hope you will join us there.

I have created a winter scene in my digital journal. It won't be long before we get winter snow, everything seems calm  in the countryside, but thoughts should be spared for the animals who find a way through the winter in some awful conditions
. We are so lucky to have our warm homes.

Thank you for calling in today,
you are always very welcome here.

I will also be joining in at......

AEDM day 12
