Fall crafting begins!

I am slowly getting ideas for some crafting.  Here is my take on a candle jar, I plan to make more (?)
Fall Jar Candle
This old jar was just wrapped in some orange tissue paper w/mod podge, half filled w/rose hips--spritzed w/some fall oil spices.  Then I frayed a strip of orange fabric then added a cut-out glitter pumpkin and punched some pretty leaves. Tied those on w/some orange cord.  To finish, I placed a small glass votive w/tea candle inside.  Double duty for Fall and Halloween!
 And then, just so we know what wonderful time of year it is, a fall sign.  I saw one similar and decided to make my own.  I do believe it may need a bit more finishing touches, but on to other things now.  I have a Fall banner I was working on last year, maybe that will show up next week!
Happy Fall!

Hello Fall

Hello again.  I am entering a new journey. I figure it is time to take over my blog and if one of my young daughters can begin her little creative blog, I can too.   It will motivate me to have my dreams of being creative again to flourish.
 
Time for another journey, again.  I have lost more than a month due to another herniated disc/pinched nerve.  And, consequently hip issues.  My goal on this journey.... 

 1. Get back to walking, without limping--really walking, like take my 3 mile fast walks with an extra 5-mile-burn up calories- walk. 
2.  Get back to moving around and working on a thorough clean-up of this unorganized house.
 3.  Get back to some greatly needed close friendships, it's been lonely here!
4.   Get back to crafting/scrappin/card-making/whatever I can squeeze in to making--time (and yes, that area is going to get overhauled too!!)  
Time to begin......
