Well it's September and after all the heat of summer, the coolness in the air is a welcome treat.  Actually had to break out the jeans and sweatshirt last night!  Got me thinking about Fall . . .

Orange Lattice Photo Card

While this card says Giving Thanks and it makes you think of Thanksgiving, you can personalize it any way you want.  The lovely oranges and browns are so indicative of the Fall season and adding the picture really makes it.  This line has other options as well . . .

This lovely collection makes me think of apples, caramel and warmth.  Which has me drooling over this Apple-Cream Cheese Bundt Cake from Southern Living!

Outrageous Caramel Apples

And these Caramel Apples from Paula Deen!  Don't you just love Fall?!

I'm thinking about Halloween already!  I know it's technically still August, but it is the last day of the month!  And, Halloween is just around the corner!  Can you tell it's one of my favorite holidays?  My family thinks I go just a little crazy decorating for it but it's so much fun.


I've been thinking about treats and always about packaging.  Nothing beats plain clear cellophane bags and curling ribbon.  I love these calling cards and think I'll use orange, black, white and/or purple curling ribbon to tie them up.
