Wow--I must be old! Can't seem to get back into the swing of things since my trip. I haven't been away from home 12 days since I was in college--haha! Hadn't been to Indiana in 3 years, so it was wonderful to catch up with my cousin & his family. It was also a first for me, as the trip began with a crafty friends retreat. We had a wonderful time getting to know each other & some people even got cards made!
Front Row: Brenda, Darnell, Sharon (Brenda's SIL)
Back Row: Linda, Greta, Kara, Maria, Colleen
Such a treat to meet my good friend, Maria, in person.
On The Circle in downtown Indy. The church behind me is where my folks were married.
I made a Halloween card before my trip that didn't get posted. It works for the current
DRU challenge as I die cut 3 MFT pumpkins from orange felt.
The star background image & sentiment are also from MFT Primitive Pumpkins. I added some brown splatters & tied green twine around the pumpkin stems. I'm also entering
SSS Wednesday,
DCD &
The Male Room.
Edited to add: Also entering
Virginia's Show & Share.
