Oh, October~~ I'm so glad you are here! I welcome your cooler weather, your flavors of apples and spice, your lovely colorful foliage...
I do so love fall! I am so glad it's here! I dug out all my fall decorations yesterday, and placed them around my living room & kitchen. My sister has made some darling fabric pumpkins this year, and I can't wait to get my hands on a set! They will be the finishing touch on my mantle...
But in the meantime, I'll make do with things like this:
I find myself craving a creative outlet. I want to discover a talent. I have tried really hard not to be jealous of my sister and all of her artistic abilities - and of my sister-in-law Brianna - how would that be to discover such an amazing talent!?! Did I ever mention that she's only been doing cakes like that (previous post) since May of this year???? Mind boggling! I would love to stumble onto a gift like that.
There are so many great ideas out there for decorating, or creating great accessories - it is so easy to get caught up in all of the embellishments of life. Why do I care if I have perfectly placed pumpkins on my porch? Or creepily elegant decorations around my house for Halloween? I have no idea. But - a good friend posted a quote by David O. McKay on her blog recently, and I have stolen it for my sidebar - and I hope that even in my desire to create beauty around me in my house, that I won't forget to take care of those things that will make it a home.

I echo your sentiment about Amy! She is so talented! And that is amazing that Brianna has only been doing cakes since May....what a gift! You know that you are hugely talented! Just look around your beautiful home and at all of the beautiful people in it and you can not deny your talents!
But you have brought out the desire for yummy smelling candles and fall decorations. You really have an artistic ability that we are jealous of.
