AU NATURALE: Fall Wreath & (The Wreath Depot Giveaway)

I mentioned awhile back that I started working full time again. My time for crafting and decorating is very limited. I work on blog projects and posts in the morning before work, after work and on weekends. But I always seem to be playing beat the clock and I haven’t had anything pretty in advance of the current season in a long time.

GOOD TASTE: Peanut Butter Chocolate Button Cookies

Did I mention we’re having an end-of-summer heat wave here in Southern California? We are. The kind of heat where you just don’t want to do anything. Plus, since we live near the coast, we don’t have air conditioning. We rely on an ocean breeze that has been letting us down lately.

Welcome to The Inspiration Board creative party! I’m so glad you’re here. So, has the weather changed in your neck of the woods? Is it fall yet? Here in Southern California, we’re having an end-of-summer heat wave. And boy it’s sizzling. It’s hard to get motivated to transition to fall when all you want to do is go to the beach. I’m hoping you guys motivate me with your fall inspiration. I can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to.
