A walk on the trail...

A walk on the trail There were a few pretty trees left. Most of them have just turned brown though.
Every year it's hit or miss with the tree brilliance. This year was over all a dud.

This hasn't happened lately with all the dreary days.

For your entertainment...

My son Dustin, has been making a lot of videos for school & contests lately.
Here are a couple funny ones I thought you'd enjoy! HA!
The next video is for a contest. They had 24 hours to made a 5 minute video. It had to have the line "It's not cheating unless you get caught," and they had to use a wig. I laugh so hard every time I watch this...

I'm honored. (Thank you so much for sending this to me Hannah!)

Applefest Shenanigans...

Applefest was amazing this year! The weather was perfect...high 70's-low 80's.
The autumn leaves were in full effect and the place was packed!

Hello...I'm still alive.

I've been super busy getting ready for Franklin Applefest, so I do apologize that I've dropped off the face of the earth. At this point, all the loose ends are being tied together, and I'll be leaving tonight.

This year I'll be camping out for the weekend (in a hotel) with my friend Diane, of Harlyn Designs! Should be lots of fun times, and shenanigans of course.

I have some new pouches...and hopefully if I don't sell out at Applefest, they will be up in my Etsy shop  soon. I'll keep ya posted.
New Pouches!
I also have some pretty new pendants! Look for those on Etsy soon as well!

If you're in Western Pennsylvania, maybe I'll see ya this weekend? Come over and say hi! I'll be in the Bandstand Park area.
