Leafs Me Happy Blog Hop - My Day! psst..Giveaway!!

Here we are at my day for the Leafs Me Happy Blog Hop...



A big huge thank you goes to Mdm Samm and Cherry for hosting this fall party!  They have done an awesome job of keeping us all in line and making this a wonderful experience for us all to learn and grow with each other...lots of Fall eye-candy this time around!


We are just starting to see the leaves turn here in Indiana and I suspect that in the next two weeks the color will be better but here are a couple of photos of the trees around our property.





Now, onto my blocks for the hop...

I wanted to use my AccuQuilt Go! Cutter and pumpkin die for this one...
And the blocks I made are the following...

Always better with a friend



In the pumpkin patch


And you know there's always one in the crowd (and, yes, that sometimes describes me, lol!)




Eat more apple pie and carve a zucchini!

Here they are together...I think I will make a runner with them...






 If you are interested in a fall colors giveaway, I found this charm pack of Tamarack Grove.  I will send this to one lucky comment maker as long as I can find your contact info...If you are a no-reply blogger and don't include a way to reach you I will have Mr. Random draw again.  You don't have to be a follower to win but I would love it if you were :)  I will draw at the end of the hop!


Here are all the other blogs involved in the hop today, be sure to stop and say hi...

Tuesday 2

And you can find the whole Blog Hop schedule on Cherry's sidebar here

  5. I love all things Fall, with pumpkins being at the top of my list. I'm not sure if I have that die or the leaves and acorns die. Great idea for a table runner or wall hanging or even a Fall decoration for the front door. Very inspiring, thank you. ;-> Toni Anne
