Fall colors

When I started decorating this note pad, I wasn't too thrilled with this background paper, but thought I would "use it up".  But after I got it finished and pulling all the colors together...it ended up being my favorite one out of the batch!  :-D  So it pays to get out of your comfort zone and work with some color combinations that you wouldn't normally choose!

Still slaving away...

I can tell the temperature must be dropping...the furnace is running.  I have one more lawn chair to drag to the garage and I will have everything put away for winter.
I have been crocheting away and catching up on my recorded programs.  I now have 90 hours free (out of 100) that can be recorded on which is rare for me.  Normally I have 10 to 20 hours free as I am usually "behind".  The pile of stuff that I have finished keeps getting larger which is great!

And the beat goes on...

Day 4 of not going out of the house and working on notebooks.  This is a much larger size than the previous ones, and it is the first time I have done one this size.  This one measures 53/4" x 9".  As in scrap booking, the larger the layout, the harder it is to make the page flow and look complete.  I feel in is much easier to work on a "smaller" canvas.  But I am happy with the end results on this project.

This second picture shows the true colors of this project better.  I find with shooting at night, and indoors that sometimes the color doesn't show up correctly.  I should be shooting pictures in the daytime, but this is kind of my routine, so you will have to bear with me, and I will try hard to get a good photograph.
