I adore the fall. Every year I feel like I "come alive again" after a long hot summer when the first crisp, cool day of fall arrives. So I’ve been working on some new kits in excited anticipation of those wonderful days.
"Golden Harvest" will have an assortment of papers, tags, frames and art that will combine quickly and easily to create anything you want to design to celebrate the fall all the way through Thanksgiving.
It looks like there will end up being at least two kits and a paper pack at this point. We’ll see what more appears as I keep working on it.
I think that I’ll also create a special "For These Things We Give Thanks" book out of this art. Each fall, we put ours on display and read through the entries from the last decade or so of our family life. It is such a joy to read the entries of our vistors and friends that shared Thanksgivings with us in the past and some who will celebrate once again with us when we gather together in heaven one day.
Thankfulness isn’t something that we should think about and express one day a year… it is a way of life that we should practice every day. What are you thankful for? Who has been a blessing to you? What has the Lord done for you and what changes has he produced in your heart for which you are grateful? Take a moment today to think on these things and give thanks for the amazing blessings you have in your life! If there’s someone special who you are thankful for, give him or her a hug (or a call or send a note) and tell them just how much they mean to you!
THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: 2 Cor 9:10-11
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
NIV
Bring fall on 🙂
AJ, another winner! I too love fall. It is my favorite time of the year….
It seems that “fall” gets lost in the changeover from summer to Christmas. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday to share with my family. I love this new artwork.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
Love all the beautiful colors!
Beautiful.
Fall is my favorite time of year, from the beautiful colors to the crisp feel of the air. The preview graphics are gorgeous and I can’t wait to see everything you come up with for the season.
Beautiful as usual AJ! I’ll be adding it to my wish list!
Beautiful, AJ! I love fall also!
Another winner! I really like the rustic metal pumpkin, brad & eyelet 😀
Gorgeous!! I love fall too. And I hate that Christmas begins before Thanksgiving.
I am very blessed and try to remember that every day and be thankful for what I have. I am very blessed to be a part of this Message Board and the wonderful people on there who are so gracious to lend a helping hand or say a prayer for you or whatever is needed. For people like you who give us such good advice and paint such beautiful things. (And I’m blessed that you’re part of the Message Board, you always have such sweet and kind things to say 🙂 AJ)
I love this also it is just lovely
Love this one. Great as usual.
Yes, we do need to remember how blessed we are each day. Love the fall colors.
The crisp fall air, crackling leaves under your feet, children playing in the piles of raked leaves….bring it on! These 90 and 100 degree days have me longing for a little coolness in the air.
I just realized I need this. I have some Thanksgiving pictures I need to scrap some year. Better go put it in my wish list.
