this project looks so cheerful yet simple and easy to do.
i need to print some photos!!!
raise your hand if it’s been more than 2 years since the last time you printed photos….
this is stinkin’ adorable.
i keep looking at it trying to figure out why i love it so much… the glasses? the lowlights in her hair? the freckles?
i think it is that the shirt is just three stripes.
does this owl project make you want to create?
that is all i can think about when i look at this picture!
i want paper, scissors and glue RIGHT NOW!
i think my kids would like making this.
i pretty much love everything Kal creates.
ALL OF IT.
funny.
i bought the new Avett Brothers immediately.
isn’t the “album cover” the best? i love that.
i really like the violin (cello?) in The Clearness is Gone… i greatly dislike the DRAMA part of Vanity… Apart from Me is lovely… and Good to You… and Bring your love…
basically i love the whole darn thing.
we got creative after seeing this watercolor painting on pinterest.
there is something about sitting down and painting… it is so calming.
i always have music on quietly. it is a memory i hope they keep of time we spent together.

as soon as i finish this post i am getting up to make these.
i have a ton of apples that need to get used.
aren’t these super cute?!
and then these make me not want to carve any pumpkins at all – we can just paint!
it is going to take a lot of self motivating talking to myself to get pumpkins carved this year.
“it’s not so bad meg. you can do it”
“the kids love it. just do it megan”
“you will be so happy you did it when they are done”
etc.
please tell me i am not the only one who feels this way about pumpkins.

have you heard of Lindsay Letters?
she is super rad.
she donated a canvas to danielle’s adoption fundraiser… i bid and won. 🙂
it was a hard decision to choose which canvas!
in the end i picked Come Thou Fount… but i ALMOST chose Ecclesiastes 9:7-9.
i mean… the C O L O R S part??? it really would be perfect for me…
maybe my next order!
seriously amazing work she does.
ok… gotta make those apple bars.
and cuddle with my kids.
our house is FREEZING so i am happy to let kids warm me up.
did you know it SNOWED here today?!! Craziness.
Cran - I feel the same way about pumpkins. It rarely works out how I wanted it. Then the mold thing.. errr.
I would never carve them, except I love roasted pumpkin seeds. 🙂
ROBBIE - Where do I buy the gorgeous shopping bags?
Heather S. - the pumpkin carving task goes to my hubs. i’ve never liked it and always made him do it. our girls are over it now, so it looks like it won’t get done this year.
and those sunburst watercolor prints will get on our crafting list asap.
snow – we had the big fat flakes for about an hour friday afternoon around Topeka – did you get the fatties, too? They’re the best!
Mindy - I love the look of watercolors and you have me wanting to get mine out ASAP! Congratulations on your canvas – great choice.
Kerri - Enjoy your posts very much. I am not creative, but you make me think I COULD be :)) “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” is a favorite hymn of mine – good choice! Have to love our Kansas weather; I live in east central KS and no snow here yet.
Renee - this was a fun post! I made these caramel apple cheesecake bars when i had a lot of apples. they were AH-mazing. my mouth waters just thinking about them. http://www.raininghotcoupons.com/caramel-apple-cheesecake-bars-recipe/
love the ‘come thou fount’ – that was a good choice! and the painting 🙂
Flower Patch Farmgirl - I’m coming over for a blondie and some quiet-music painting. You think I’m joking??
Sara - Apple bars look tasty! And now I’m wanting to paint. Do you buy the cheapo watercolor sets? I never know what craft supplies to splurge on.
I’m sitting next to a warm fire, blogging 🙂
Ruth B - Meg,I want to thank you for finding the best Pinterest has to offer at the moment and sharing it. You are great for enabling my laziness, or busy-ness (honestly haven’t really looked at Pinterest in 6 months!). I hear you with the Pumpins girl, I try to talk our kids out of it some years-that’s an awful confession I know-see laziness!
Susanne - Is it wrong to be a little jealous that it snowed for you already? (I live in the most NW corner of the state of WA – rarely snows and it’s really sad after growing up in Nebraska)(altho it IS truly beautiful here!) Anyway – once on Duck Dynasty, Jase said “I don’t trust meat from the grocery store” I’ll add to that! “I not sure I trust people who don’t like The Avett Brothers!” 😀 My 2¢? Carve the pumpkin!
Tiffany - Olivia loves to paint. She has been begging for it recently. That sunburst project looks like a good one to try. And I need to join her. Often it’s tempting to think, Oh good, kids are occupied with something, time to get something done. But I know we would both love it if I took time to paint with her. It would be good for both of us.
I can’t believe it snowed there! It hasn’t in MN yet! You beat us!
Amy K. - That is *exactly* how I feel about pumpkin carving – dread it, dread it, dread it, hate cleaning them out, then suddenly thrilled that I sucked it up & did it b/c we had a great time & they turned out great!
Leah Faye - I’m so happy that Brittni Rhodes told me about your blog! I am her student teacher and live in your area! I love your blog and can’t wait to follow along! It is so fun to find other bloggers near by!

Katie - I’m not a fan of pumpkin carving… Maybe because I stink at it?! Love all the prints.
Julie - Some great ideas – love your girls paintings. That owl collage is something my daughter would love, and I am thinking that apple slice recipe may have to get tested too.
Is it early for snow – we are just starting to get warmer spring days in New Zealand now, I even got a bit of sunburn on my arms yesterday.
Enjoy your weekend.
colleeen - Snow… are you kidding? How magical is that? I’m sorry but Kansas weather is really, really unusual! I met a friend from Kansas in my grad program and she made cookies for National Kansas Day… who does that? they were very good and I’ve wanted to go to Kansas ever since. Enjoy the early winter visit…. I would if it happened here in Ct ( and yes we too have had october snow storms… if you don’t like the weather in New England just wait a minute ( it will change).. Sounds like Kansas….
Weren’t you swimming a couple weeks ago?
