Welcome back fall. It's good to see you...


Ahhh, it’s here! The first day of fall. Sure, it’s rainy and dreary outside, but you can’t help but be excited to know autumn is here. The return of fall is like seeing an old friend who has been away for a long time. It brings with it the refreshment of cooler weather after a hot summer. Fall is a time for reminiscing. It brings back so many colors, memories, cozy feelings, and the desire to snuggle up on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book or movie (a.k.a You’ve Got Mail or any movie featuring NYC in the fall). I love pumpkins, walking through colorful fall leaves, the sound of the wind blowing outside my window, college football, cooler weather, Starbucks red holiday cups, and that spooky feeling you get around Halloween – even though you’re really too old to get spooked now. I love the yummy fall recipes that I get to cook only once a year. And, as silly as it is, I love switching out my wardrobe. Tank tops for sweaters, flip flops for boots. It’s a fresh start, but also the return of so many good things.

So, welcome back fall. It’s good to see you!

A bit of what I've been up to...

This week I have been running around like crazy, hopefully accomplishing things. Per usual for me, I've been grabbing random pieces of scrap paper to jot down my to-do list as various things come to mind. The things that don't get done today get moved to a different piece of paper and a new day (sigh...). One of these days, I will get through my entire list. It's my goal and I will achieve it!!!

Some of this craziness is due to preparation for the upcoming bridal show of the YEAR. I'm so excited that I will be participating in the 2009 Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Bridal Show on September 27, at the John Q. Hammond Center in Rogers. I've been working frantically to ensure that everything for my booth is ready to go - hey, I work best under pressure. Pictures, frames, albums, brochures, the details are coming together nicely! I can't wait to see it all together! If you are married, engaged, or just up for looking around, I would love to see you stop by my booth (there will be candy)! 

A little preview of what is coming...
Happy Wednesday!
