October Workshop

Pathfinding Workshop

 

~  Saturday 18 October  ~  7pm  ~

 

I am so looking forward to Fall, I have had enough of this heat!  I love the this season, the misty mornings, the cool evenings, visiting the apple/pumpkin farms, Thanksgiving, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, you get my drift. 

 

I had fun playing with the new Pathfinding paper pack and accessories and reliving some family memories while creating these layouts.  I decided not to use the WOTG Kit and opted for the Pathfinding paper pack, complements, assortment and the Thankful Heart stamp set.  (Sorry about the photo quality, is a little weird this month)
