Happy Sunday to my peeps! I found this leaf the other day while taking my walk, and it was so pretty I brought it home and put gel medium on it to preserve it. Then I went to work and unfortunately, the medium stuck it to the waxed paper and when I pulled it off, there were spots. But it doesn't matter, it's still beautiful. I like the back of it, too.
If I preserved every leaf I saw on my walks, I would have 3,471* just since autumn began.
I wanted to fulfill my promise to show you my finished baked goods. As you know, I started them here. Don't they look fabulous?!
Well, they don't look like that any more. We had a guest yesterday and now they look like wild beasts got to them before the oven cooled down. I added chopped walnuts to the pumpkin bread mix and added chocolate chips to half of that. It was like being on Top Chef.
This is one of the cutest little guys I've ever seen. You can get the tutorial for it here.
Not only does Pam Harris craft and paint, she also bakes. I'm not saying she goes so far as to bake from Trader Joe's baking mixes, because that takes a really special hand. But look at these tips for holiday baking. It's enough to make me go out and buy cream of tartar.
My sketchbook is coming along fabulously. I've only torn three pages out of it so far!

What a nice surprise to find my little Dala horse featured on your post! Thank you, Chris! I am glad you are thinking of making one. If you'll just come up for a few days, I'll make one with you!
Your pumpking bread looks so good I am sure I can taste it from here! I KNOW I can smell it all the way up here in Portland! You are tempting my to give the Trader Joe's mixes a try.
