Autumn has Arrived

 Aided by a 'trough' of cold air Hurricane Ian devastated Ft Myers and cut a destructive path across the central section of Florida.  We were very fortunate, not so those south of here.  Many lost everything from lives to possessions.  It's going to take many years to recover, especially since I'm sure new building codes will be put into practice.  Just like after Hurricane Katrina.  Each disaster that Mother Nature throws at us we learn how little we humans know.

This cold air has brought us Autumn!  Daytime temperatures are in the 70's and nighttime dips into the upper 40's lower 50's.  Jim is loathe to let summer summer go.  Still wearing shorts and sandals.  Me?  Socks and long pants.  If needed I do switch to shorts in the afternoon.

I'm sure this is Sheetload from Crafty Al using Stampin' Up! products

Made this for a challenge Rustic Harvest from Stampin' Up!

Same challenge, Wonderful World and Orchid Oasis (a new in color.  The white panel has been dry embossed with Painted Texture embossing folder.  I used Wink of Stella to make the flower sparkle

I found this scrap of floral paper and decided to cut into three panels...turned out well don't you think?

Though I still have flowers they took a beating from the strong winds we had because of that strong trough of cold air.  Small price to pay.

All is right in our world
