Good-bye Summer....and making lists...

So....I'm back from a long weekend with my totally awesome and talented girlfriends.
It was such a fun and oh so creative time spent in the beautiful mountains of Utah....and I wasn't really ready to come home.
I am not a fan of my summer play time coming to an end and so I just ignore the calender as long as the nice weather holds...



As for now...I am trying to un-pack and un-wind from my trip...when I say un-wind I mean that I need a good dose of reality to wake me up and realize that it truly is summers end and I really need to get some things done!

So..... I'm enjoying my fall blooms in the garden while I make a list of everything to be done....I'm totally a list girl, and for me.... the best part is crossing things off!....for all of you who are list girls too....you know exactly what I mean!

How are you spending the end of your summer?....(or the beginning of fall...whichever way you happen to see it)...LOL

In about a week I will be able to show you my secret project that is ready for fall market....YAY!...and I can't wait... because I don't like to keep secrets from you...

My bags are packed...

I'm taking a little trip with some friends for a nice long weekend in a mountain retreat....
I will miss you all and will be hoping that you are having a wonderful weekend too.
I will be doing one of my favorite things which is playing with paper,scissors, glue and lots of glitter!!!

Short-cut Pumpkin Cookies...

I'm going to tell you how to make the fastest most delicious pumpkin cookies ever!
You've heard me talk about my friend Linda no-blog before ...right?
Well, she shared this recipe with me so I thought I would share it with you because I think it's a keeper!

All you need are the three ingredients above...
*spice cake mix
*small can of pumpkin (15 oz.)
*1 cup chocolate chips


Mix the can of pumpkin with the dry cake mix until smooth...add the chocolate chips....

...and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.

This recipe makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies...a perfect treat on a crisp fall day.
