Gratitude or something nothing like it, weeks 38 & 39

Grapes, wine, sickness, tastings, deliveries, guests, breathe and repeat (not necessarily in that order)!  I’m wearing down and decided to let blogging go to the backburner for a while.  I hope you all understand.

Our equipment is all working well and I’m finally feeling decent again.  Mom & Dad sent me a lovely pair of rain boots last week too.  Here’s a silly self-portrait of me just before using them for the first time:

They are comfortable to hike around in and keep my feet dry whilst I clean equipment.  (Using the word ‘whilst’ makes cleaning seem more romantic doesn’t it?)

Thank you Mom!

The fall colors are starting in strong this week and I believe we’ll have a beautiful season.  I hope to have time next week to take some photographs.

This past Saturday was World Cardmaking Day.  I missed it completely, even the next day, because it’s October and Oct. weekends are our busiest.  So, to make up for it, here is a view of a few cards I made before I got so stinkin’ busy:

Well, this isn’t much of a gratitude entry is it?  I’ll get some sleep tonight and see if I can be better tomorrow.  Cheers everyone!
